1985 ct70 eh?

[Tripod]

I picked up a wall hanger 1985 ct70. It met its ending running into something immoveable and possibly under the influence according to the seller.

I have no intention of attempting to put it on the road. Ill just hang it on the wall in the garage.

It came with the original engine, date coded and correct, which was pretty much why i bought it. Front wheel has the correct date code. Im not sure if im reading the code on the tire right, but seems original.

I do nt think ive ever seen a frame buckle like this one did around the neck. Most of what ive seen is twisting in front of the seat hinge or a crooked frame at the battery box.

It was definitely a brutal collision for someone,,,only if these bent frame and forks could talk!!! Lol

The frame decal is interesting. Don't think I've ever seen that one before.

It probably lost in a collision with a moose? Only in Canada! Eh.

I have never seen a rim bent that bad!

Is this the date code for the tire?

Yes, but not as easy to read as today. Coker tire has a great write up on this subject Tripod. Search, what year did the dot start date coding tires?
