Vehicle Description
Consigned to Mecum Indy!****
Sunnyside Chevrolet of Elyria, Ohio in conjunction with Greg's
Sports, Classic, & Muscle is proud to offer for sale this beautiful
1948 Indian Chief.
Here at Sunnyside Sports, Classic and Muscle (and maybe Indian) we
sure love our Indian motorcycles. We really love the full skirted
bikes from the 40's and early 50's and are happy to have them
around. Sometimes it's a pleasure just to sit and stare at the
beautiful lines- they are, in our opinion, one of the most
beautiful bikes ever built.
At this time, we are proud to have 3 1940's Chiefs around. We refer
to them as our two show horses and our one war horse. The bike you
are currently looking at is a beautiful 1948 Show Horse. She's
really well restored and prepared to be garage art or to be
properly broken in and turned into a show rider- your choice. Every
component has been gone through and we are confident this bike will
please in whatever use the next caretaker finds for her.
The restoration on this numbers matching Chief was just completed
with only 3 break in miles thus far. All work was done by James
Soleberg at Ace Motors in Middletown Ohio and for those of you who
know Indians you know that James is one of the preeminent Indian
engine builders. We have a copy of the break in instructions that
will travel with this bike should the next owner chose to use it as
a rider rather than garage art. This bike is suited to either no
worries.
If you are looking for a bike with provenance this one has a lot to
offer. We have a copy of the title for this bike from its owner in
Chicago from 1969 and that is how the complete bike came to Joe for
restoration. Not some conglomeration of parts this is a real deal
Chief.
Not sure which one of our two show horses or our war horse you
like? Just come on in and make your choice you won't be
disappointed.
Drive it, show it, keep it in a bubble and polish it as a prized
possession, the choice is yours once you make it yours.
We stand behind our thoughts on this car by offering our travel
expenses guarantee- come see the car and if we have materially
misrepresented its condition we will gladly pay half of your travel
expenses up to $500.00- this offer had been in place since we sold
our first classic and we haven't paid the money yet.... We pride
ourselves on having good cars and representing them properly.
