Auto Cycle on cl

Not a 15K bike

I have yet to see a 15 K Autocycle and this is not one in my opinion.

I agree the blue on blue is nice! Looks to be a 39' to me, high rear fender brace and the seat post does not appear to be a D bolt.

Some items are possibly missing, but is definitely missing the fender bomb, dual lights on the springer, and from the look of the rear basket rack it's missing the correct rear rack, and as mentioned possibly the crossbar; although the front speedo cable appears to be coming from something and you can make out part of a brake lever.

Would I like to have it, of course, but retail would be way less on what is there.

15k?

Spoke to the fellow today. He seems like a nice guy trying to help out his elderly mom who needs a new roof. I questioned him about the condition ("all original)") the fender bomb ("the what") and where on earth did he get that price? He assured me that the bike is "perfect" and that his deceased step father bought it new in the late 30's when he was a teen. Anyways I said I'd love To see the bike. He said he's had "multiple offers of over 10k" . I asked what's the highest he said "12k unseen" but of course this was pending pictures of the bike and that pesky "fender bomb thing" that is "probably around here somewhere" . We shall see if this shakes down. Lot's of people fishing these days. Maybe this bike it the much needed roof??

Offers

Apparently he has offers of 13000...
From his email reply....
"Well I've already been offered 13 on it so I think I'm in the ballpark yes I'm getting pictures of the speedo and of the fender bomb"

That'd be pretty sweet if the old man really did manage to hold on to all the original parts. I'd love to see it all cleaned up and put back to together. Ya gotta love those one owner bikes, there can't be too many one owner cantilever frame autocycles out there and the color is an added bonus. If his story is true I hope he gets top dollar for it.

Wow, bike sold. Full asking price and I don't think he even took a second set of pictures yet. That has to be a record.
