$5,000

Kalama, Washington

This is the covetted 1963 Harley-Davidson Topper Scooter, with the rare 9 HP AH engine. Thought to be very few left in existence in this condition. Made in good old Milwaukie, Wisconsin - MADE IN THE USA. Had it running on 7/12/2014, but it had trouble starting after that. Intended to show the video of it running on here but not sure how. We ordered a new spark plug (Harley H4) to be installed before sale is completed. Has great compression (110 psi), previous restoration with beautiful Harley paint colors, but shows some nicks and blemishes - please see photos for condition. Recently replaced fuel petcock and rebuilt carburetor which allowed engine to start. Engine turns over freely by pulling cord. Has original Harley-Davidson seat, with emblem - has some cracking to lower part of back of seat. Front wind panel (where legs rest behind) shows very little sign of previous deformation but tough to notice even with close inspection. Will need tuning up. Gas tank shows no rust. Scooter has been stored inside. Odometer reads 3,285 original miles. Missing Harley-Davidson decal on left side. Has the optional windshield mounting support brackets but a windshield is not included. Mecum auction house recently sold similar scooter with side-car for $15,000 (2012 Indianapolis sale). I do not restore them for a living, and I am not a scooter expert. Please ask questions before buying but see my feedback for honesty and integrity. I have never received a single neutral nor a negative feedback and hope to keep it that way. The most recent registration was with California plates, but much longer than three years ago. I have no current title, but will guarantee that I am the only true owner. I will sell with a sworn affidavit of lost title from Washington State with a Bill of Sale. I paid to have the VIN # researched in California, and nationwide with no record of registion found (results = 06/19/2014 CALIFORNIA DMV PRINTOUT 1963 HD SCOOTER VIN 63AH1530 VIN NOT FOUND; 06/19/2014 NATIONAL MOTOR VEHICLE TITLE INFORMATION SYSTEM CHECK 1963 HD SCOOTER VIN 63AH1530 VIN NOT FOUND). Each state's requirements for obtaining a title differ, but I will reasonably cooperate with your state's guidelines toward obtaining registration and title, so long as you pay for all fees for doing so. Please also refer to scoot.net for an outline of your state's requirments. Comes with a copy of the original owner's manual from Harley-Davidson. Do not purchase and then attempt to renegotiate the price. Only buy if you are sure you would like to complete the purchase. This is a beautiful scooter but definitely will show imperfections - you need to rely upon the photos for its condition. The sale is as-is with no guarantees nor warrantees other than that I am selling as described and as photographed. Please ask questions and request additional photos before purchasing. On-site inspection is strongly recommended in Kalama, Washington (40 minutes north of Portland, Oregon). I will not ship, but I will cooperate with your freighting/shipping company - to be hired at your expense. Free local pickup does not mean I will pay to have someone crate or ship!
