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.
