Indian Chief description

1947 Indian Chief, I purchased this Indian from the ORIGINAL OWNER recently. It is all original, except it was painted 40 years ago and a 12 volt gen. was added 10 years ago (original gen, included). The Chief starts, runs and stops as it should and is ready to ride.The original owner states that he bought this in Indianapolis in Dec. 1946 and these are the tank badges that were on it when he purchased it new. The mileage is ACTUAL, motor/trans were rebuilt and probably have four to five thousand miles on them. Questions are welcome, thanks for looking. Dave L.

Steve McQueen’s Von Dutch Customized Bikes to be Auctioned Tomorrow

Wed, 08 Jan 2014

Here’s an opportunity to own motorcycles associated with Steve McQueen and Von Dutch - need we say more? Get your credit cards out because tomorrow, January 9, 2014, will see a 1923 Indian Big Chief with Princess Sidecar owned by McQueen and fully restored by Von Dutch put on the auction block at the Bonhams Las Vegas Motorcycle Auction. Previously sold at the Steve McQueen Estate Sale in Las Vegas in 1984, the 74cu (1200cc) Indian is “capable of reaching speeds of 90mph.” If McQueen’s coolness factor isn’t enough, having the notoriety of Von Dutch’s restoration is the icing on the cake.
