1972 Ducati Other on 2040-motos

Up for grabs...1972 Ducati 750 GT barn find project bike. 
One of approximately 700 sandcast 750 crankcases made in the early years. This bike retains the unique kick start lever only found on the sandcast examples. Also notable is the UNcracked primary cover that was the Achilles' heel of sandcast crankcase examples. This bike is a time warp example!  Just as developed for the US market by Ducati for Berliner. It even retains the rarely seen foil tag on the head stock. Most early GTs were fitted with Amal 932 Concentric carbs. This one appears to have been fitted from new with DelLorto carburetors as offered on the sport version. The choke cables have obviously been attached for a long time. Face it: Ducati was a small operation and they fitted what was at hand that day. The correct fiberglass tank is fitted as well as the correct seat. The seat is in need of restoration but provides a good pan to use. Correct turn signals are still on there as well as the US market high bars. The side covers are present, and the super-rare "oval" Conti mufflers are in good condition . Early Smith's instruments indicate 26,479 miles. Speedometer even still has reset sticker !  The correct Borrani rims and Inox stainless fenders further contribute to the certificate of "authenticity " of this early Ducati GT "barn find". Engine is presently stuck but "soaking".
This auction offers a rare opportunity to acquire an unmolested Ducati GT. This was the bike that jump started Ducati's presence in the US and on the track.
