This is an all original bike, not a restoration.If you are looking at this bike then you likely know what it is... probably the only one in the WORLD that is in this condition. If you don't know; it is a 250cc single that is 100% made in Italy by Benelli, and was imported by Montgomery Wards in the 1960's. You could buy this bike in the hardware department back then. Sears also participated in this practice with their Allstate line of Puch scooters and motorbikes.This is a two-owner bike, and the original owner has passed away. I have all the original paperwork, including the 1969 California registration papers, and some other memorabilia. The plate you see is the original plate that has been accepted back into circulation by the DMV. It is not a replica. The bike itself has exactly 609 miles, 250 of those are from me riding around in vintage shows. It has been invited to the Quail Gathering as well. I have only done a few things to this bike since I got it from the old man's estate. I had the head cover professionally polished. I found a brand new header pipe. I replaced the 6v battery, tires, and horn. The original horn comes with it, but it's too heavy to ride with. I also found the original pink colored spark plugs and green fuel line. That's how they came from Italy and so that's how this bike appears today. The paint on the bike has corrosion that shows through the paint in places, and its all from the inside out. The thing about paint is that it's only original once. This is truly the first coat.This bike runs perfectly, and kick starts easily if you know how to use a left-side kickstarter. This bike is a bit different and challenging to ride because it has right-side heel-toe shifter and rear brake is on the left, like most British and European bikes of the era. It also has quite a bit of power for a 250cc, unlike the Honda's of the day that were rather revvy, this has a lot of bottom end. Its a push-rod motor with a carburetori Dell'Orto. ;-) Shipping will be about $400, and I will provide a contact.
