It is a "Johnny Cash" special. Parts from the '30's-'60's.

Pictures are everything, take many, in focus, with details. Ability to show an unmolested engine number and matching case numbers also helps build value. An engine with mangled numbers is not worth much, as that's an indication of a previous theft.

I have a 1937 Harley UL 80 (I believe it is an 80) it is not running but is pretty damn complete aside from some of the chrome bits, brake lines and throttle lines. Engine turns freely it can be restored easily for sure paint is a mess there is a lot of surface rust. I'll post pics later.

Basically I am trying to understand what I should do with the bike. Do I get it running (I dont have much time as a new dad, working and planning a business), do I just get it together as much as I can since the body and tank are off the bike? Are there any resources local to Connecticut or the Northeast I can reach out to that wont want to steal it?

I am trying to start a business and after many years of this being in my garage waiting to restore it after the endless amounts of BMW's that keep filtering in and out of my garage. I think its time to sell it I just don't know the best way or how I could understand close to what its value is.

I'll post pics tonight.
