Has chrome tank sides that will clean up nice but it has seen some sun in its past and could use paint.

When you show up to look at it or worse pick it up you are going to say to yourself "this isn't the bike in the pictures." I bought an old Yamaha on line that looked pretty good in the ad, it wasn't worth half of what I paid for it. I put more money and a lot of labor info it. I finally sold it for almost as much as I paid for it. Never again. It looks pretty rough to me and probably worse in real life.

Leroy is a member of the Facebook "Loop Group" that I run. IIRC, the "upgrade engine" is a Convert unit, the one in it needs the top end done. The '69 Ambo has the "fresh cylinders and completely rebuilt heads".
