Cushman Other description

 VERY cool old CUSHMAN three wheeled trike with the original SPRINGER front end.
Her is everything I know about this:  I've had it 15 years and bought it at a military vehicle show from a retired Master Metalsmith from Noblesville IN.  He'd received it in inoperable condition and converted it to a 5 hp0 modern gas engine, it also has the "torque converter" power transfer.  He had altered the body to fit the new engine, all done professionally.  THIS IS NOT-REPEAT NOT-a US Military vehicle, it was used on a Base for Courier use but has no NSN or data plate from the DOD or the GAO.
It IS a tremendous amount of fun!  It IS perfect for car shows, swap meets, military shows or re-enactments!  Has a storage compartment in the rear for your show goodies, adult beverages or ??
It runs perfect, I just had it checked by a small engine enterprise, they checked it completely and even cleaned the carb in their ultra-sonic cleaner to be sure every bit of gunk was removed.
The starting procedure is simple:  set the parking brake and choke it a bit and pull the recoil handle, set choke to run position, jump on, release park brake and drive to your heart's content!  Press the kill switch to stop engine at any time.  It has a rear drum brake with one foot pedal to activate it.
Full disclosure, I added the non US fuel cans, the inoperable rear light housings, the mini Pioneer tool rack, repainted/stenciled the body and the messenger bag just as conversation starters!
No disrespect, but I am not interested in Cushman trivia or low ball offers or delivering this.  It weighs 304 lbs, is 69" long, 24 inches wide and 38 inches tall.  It MAY fit a hitch basket type of rack.  Pickup only from ground level residence and this moves only AFTER paypal or other funds are clear and verified.  An out of state check of any type will delay pickup by ten days.  If you'd like to ship it out of country, be my guest.  There is not a title to this (although the genius' at Ebay insist there is), a bill of sale will be provided and NO warranties are expressed or implied.  Feel free to inspect and test drive during the auction or after, if you win.  Thanks for your time, this is a dear toy of mine and we must part ways.

After many trips to Italy, CorsaVino founder Arun Sharma, was exposed to Italian winemakers passion and obsession for quality and the detail that goes in to creating a fine wine.  Sharma, felt this kind of dedication resonated deeply with his appreciation for Italian motorcycles and sought out acclaimed winemaker Rich Cushman who also happened to have a passion for Italian motorcycles and started the CorsaVino winery. You can order this motorcycle branded wine through the CorsaVino website, prices range from $24-$55, but if you ride don’t drink and if you drink don’t ride. Source
