For Sale: 1946 Indian Chief in Elyria, Ohio

Vehicle Description

Sunnyside Chevrolet of Elyria, Ohio in conjunction with Greg's Sports, Classic, & Muscle is proud to offer for sale this beautiful 1946 Indian Chief

Let's start with a rare 1946 Indian Chief and then throw in an amazing story. This Chief has been in the same family since it was BRAND NEW. When we saw this bike, it was such a great history we knew we had to have it.

Here is the story, as told to us by Paul, in his late 80's, as the son of the ORIGINAL OWNER. My dad bought this Indian brand new in June of 1946. He rode it until mid 1965. At that time, we both were riding it. I purchased the bike in May of 1968 and continued to ride it. In 2010 I felt it was time for a complete restoration and I had it restored mechanically and cosmetically. Paul shared with us that they used the original parts as much as possible. We have receipts for the restoration totaling over $17,000 and completion in 2011.

Paul maintains the 19200 miles on the bike are original and when we came to pick up the Indian, Paul, at 89 years old, jumped on and kick started his old friend. Paul also recounted stories of riding the Indian as a kid and using it to "herd the cows". He's quite a man. We need more like him...

The Indian is amazing, the story is amazing. During the restoration Paul kept the original seat as a reminder of times gone by- it still resides proudly on this Chief.

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.
