Royal Enfield Interceptor description

I am selling my 1964 Royal Enfield Interceptor 750, I am moving and will not have to space to bring it.  I had bought this bike about a month ago from a person whom I work with, it was his brothers who died two months ago so his mother wanted to sell it and get it out of her garage. The owner purchased it from his uncle in about 1992, (that was the transfer year on the title) I am told the uncle restored the bike some time in the 1980's.  The bike was done up completely, frame painted, new wiring harness and paint. The tires are like new,I have no idea when they were installed but the front one still has the nubs on the middle if the tread and no dryrot I can see. The bike runs great, I have put about 80 miles on it since I have owned it, it starts up on the first or second kick and runs smoothly. (Much smoother than a the 1966 Triumph I had)  When I bought the bike it had been sitting for about 5-6 years, I replaced all of the fuel lines, battery,added inline fuel filters, replaced the rear tube (also greased the rear wheel bearings while I was in there) replaced the float bowl gasket (fortunately someone had drained the carbs before it was stored, most likely why it still runs so good) changed the engine oil and replaced it with Castrol 20-W50, checked the oil in the primary and transmission (still very clean) and also coated the tank with Kreem three part fuel tank sealer as old gas was left in the tank during storage. The Interceptor looks mostly original with exception to the boat horns someone installed and it does not have air filters on the carburaters and it seems like there is no room for them either. Also the right hand battery cover is held on with some body tape, for some reason the side screw will not line up with the battery hold down and I have not had time to investigate it further. The exhaust pipes look like new and it has Campbells mufflers on it that are in nice shape (and sound amazing), the rims look good a couple spots have pits on them and the tail lamp has a small dent in the top of it. I believe it to be all numbers matching, on the primary side of the engine is YB 12003 (12003 is on the title too) on the frame head is stamped 845, on the front of the engine is AGZ 1149 and in the top of the transmission is AGZ 1149.  All of the lights function as well as the gauges including the ampmeter in the headlamp too. The bike also has a clear Michigan title in my name, two repairs manuals and some magazine articles as well that go with it. The 1964 Michigan motorcycle plate does NOT go with the bike, it belongs to my neighbor. (I think he will sell it for $50.00 and it's perfect) If you want a very rare bike that will get more attention than you can stand this is the bike for you, if you don't like attention at bike shows buy a Harley. If you have any questions feel free to call me at (248)830-7 onesixfour. This bike will be up for sale locally at the Battle of the Brits car and motorcycle show unless it hits reserve on here, so I reserve the right to end the auction before it hits reserve. It is being sold "AS IS" with no warranty written or implied, you can set up a time to come see it and I will be glad to show it to anyone who wants to see it, if you have no feedback do bid or contact me first.

Sorry to who ever bid on the bike the first time, I had to pull the auction after about an hour of two after I realized I listed it under collectables and not motorcycles, sorry for the inconvenience.
