Wow, Wixom bags and trunk with the chrome wraparounds a BONUS, how could anyone own something that long and only put 6k miles on it? Doesn't even look that bad with the Windjammer....

Looks great.   Only 6k miles?  Hmmm, that would be suspect given that the eagle and "Moto Guzzi" script are worn off the tank on the side that is visible in the pics.

Last year, I bought a '74 civilian Eldo that supposedly only had 25k miles on it.   Once we dug into motor, it was obvious that it was more like 125k or 225k.

Whoever buys this will have to at least budget for Gilardoni cylinders and pistons to do it right, plus, all seals and other rubber bits should be replaced as well.
