Saw one like it last year sold for $121k with premium so likely near same.

I’d be curious to hear how this one looks in person when you see it

[droptopford]

Is that the way the rear axle was designed to be oriented... with the adjuster screws against the rounded part, not the flat? Asking because I really don't know but never seen that.

Also, aren't the bolts holding the rear fender 'flip' to the braces upside down? Again, I don't know and no big deal. I've just never seen them like that.

Lots of repro parts and wrong parts and hardware.It looks good at a distance.

[Chris Haynes]

Lots of little things wrong.

Yes Chris, I counted 42 that I could see in the pictures. Mostly minor but some not so. All correctible if one had the time, patience and money.

As a reference I use the parts book to get parts in the correct orientation

From a well known early Knucklehead marque excellence expert who was on site at Mecum, he is in total agreement. Interesting how this Knucklehead could get bid to 100K.

A lot of people have more money than brains.

I attended the Las Vegas auction yesterday. I am still shaking my head how a 1935 Indian Chief sold for 170,000 and a 1938 Indian 4 only sold for 82,000. I guess lots of beer and poor decisions. The British bikes were up and down. Many deals on lhe less popular bikes.
