Very desirable early Indian Big Valve Indian Twin. This motor appears to have been from an early Indian racer. The previous owner disassembled it for inspection only. But all parts are in amazingly good shape and it looks like the motor could be reassembled and run! The carburetor looks to be larger than other Schebler's i've seen. The previous owner also believes there is a chance this is the missing motor from the Indian raced by the famous J.A."Jock" McNeil in Southern California in the 1920's. We have no evidence that supports this to be true, and we are clearly NOT selling this as a historically significant piece- but the possibility of such a story makes it that much more fun and interesting.The chassis was obtained separately by the same previous owner. Please look at all the pictures. There are some very rare pieces in this project so please bid accordingly. We will not separate any of the pieces from this project. The front fender could be savable as are the handlebars. The missing part from the rear of the frame is included and in nice shape. PLEASE CALL IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING. THANK YOU 831 252-0337

1911-13 early racing motorcycle. A remake of the Oilzum racer pictured in Stephen Wright's book "American Racer". This was to become an identical copy to the one pictured in the book. Now believed to be gone from existence, this bike was meant to fill the void left behind by one of the original fusions of 2 great motorcycle companies of the time.The motor is an original 1913 Excelsior twin. We believe most all of the parts are there and in good shape. This is a mocked up basket case. Not shown are some valves and miscellaneous other small pieces.The frame is a quality reproduction 1911-13 Indian twin modified to fit the Excelsior motor. Nice start on a reproduction gas tank with some fittings. Forks are original Indian but will need some work to undo some of the modifications on the stem. All doable. The picture in the photos is a photocopy from the American Racer book. it is from this picture the racing motorcycle was to be built. We're thinking a perfect unique possibility for the Cannonball! Please call if you have any questions before bidding. Thank you 831 252-0337
