For Sale at Auction: 1966 Harley-Davidson FLH in Scottsdale, Arizona

Renowned bike builder Paul Cox has teamed up with Mohawk Group to create the "Hot and Heavy Chopper," a one-of-a-kind slab-side shovel chopper based on a coveted 1966 Harley-Davidson engine - part of the highly regarded 1965-69 series. This engine began with a set of original Harley-Davidson motor cases and was rebuilt from the inside out at Paul Cox Industries (PCI). Featuring a unique blend of vintage and modern elements, it retains many original internals but is enhanced with mechanical upgrades, extensive hand machining and modern performance refinements. Every aluminum engine component was hand-blended at the seams and machine-polished for a seamless, high-quality finish. Displacement is 88ci, with ignition via a Morris Magneto and fuel delivered through an S&S carburetor. The Baker 4-speed transmission includes both electric start and traditional kick start, and the shifting is done jockey-style by hand, with a mechanical foot clutch. The chassis is a custom rigid frame built entirely at PCI using a combination of old and new parts. All sheet metal work, including the fender and gas tank, was hand-formed in-house using hammering, planishing and English Wheel finishing techniques. Polishing is also done on-site, allowing for subtle contour adjustments throughout the build process. The front end features Cox's signature Girder-style fork, inspired by vintage Indian and Crocker motorcycles. Cox has been perfecting his version of this fork for over 20 years, and each one is truly unique. Primary drive is handled by Cox's custom single-row chain, perfectly paired with the final chain drive. The wheels are hand-laced with spokes and wrapped in Avon tires for classic style and solid performance. The paint job ? custom colors and shimmering metal flakes from Painthuffer Metalflake ? was applied at PCI for a flawless, head-turning finish. Finally, Cox completed the build with handcrafted leatherwork and engraving, all done in-house using the finest hides and meticulous attention to detail. 100% of the hammer price from the sale of this vehicle will benefit the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
