For Sale: 1977 Harley-Davidson Sportster in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin

Disavowed by the factory for years, and unknown even to most Harley riders, 1977's Confederate Editions are a fascinating footnote in the history of Harley-Davidson, and maybe the most collectible Harley ever. Very few people knew of this model, possibly because it was overshadowed by the XLCR which also made its debut in 1977. Then there's the politically incorrect elephant in the room. The real reason this model is so unknown - never appearing in a single official Harley history, and we suspect, why Harley-Davidson refused to even acknowledge its existence until just recently. Rumors have it, it's also a possibility that Harley-Davidson itself bought up surviving examples to get them off the market. Whatever the reason may be, this XLT Sportster is one of the rarest Harley-Davidson's built to date. Only a claimed 15 examples made their way out of the factory, making this the rarest HD ever. This restored example is a fine specimen of HD history and heritage and is perfect for enthusiast or collector.
