The story of the bike is the person who posted it on Craigs list bought the bike at an estate auction, in this condition. The bike was the only one in the estate. He offered me the bike for a huge price and I passed. four months later he posted it on Craig list and had lowered the price. He had to sell the bike because he was moving and couldn't take it with him. I made an offer and we haggled for a few days. I was the only person to go after this bike. When I first saw it I was very skeptical because you never see a bike this clean. I looked the bike over and over and decided it was original. The bike is the basic model, there is only a reflector on the rear carrier. I can live with the basic model because of the condition. I feel the bike has been ridden, there are a few very minor touch ups on the tank and minor scraps on the carrier, I haven't taken the tank off yet , but the light does work, but the chrome is like the day it was made. Thanks for the comments.
