-RARE! This is your chance to own a piece of history! Number 313 of only 1200 ever built!
-Elvis Presley owned one which is on display at Graceland
-Beautiful eye-popping, head-turning $2000+ custom paintjob featuring House of Kolor Candy-Green Metal-Flake with orange flames by First Place Finishes! Custom pin striping by the famous Ron Brent! Ron has had many of his bikes featured in Easyrider Magazine!
-Manufactured in 1974 & 1975 by Rupp Industries, Inc. founded in 1959 by Mickey Rupp in Mansfield, Ohio
-This is the more desirable 1975 Two-seater model. The 1974 models were only single passenger
-Rupp was famous for manufacturing snowmobiles,
go-carts, mini-bikes, and ATVs
-Rupp Industries had to close their doors in 1978 due to bankruptcy. Rupp vehicles have since become VERY collectible. Centaur prices typically range from $5,000 to $10,000 depending on condition.
-Originally equipped with a 339cc Kohler Snowmobile SK-340-2AS Oil Injected 2-cycle 2-cylinder, automatic transmission and belt driven centrifugal clutch. It now has a 1981 Yamaha XS-400 392cc Twin, four-stroke 6-speed electric-shift chain-drive motorcycle engine with reverse
-It is on the road and New York State titled, inspected and registered
-Currently it is geared low, so it is not a highway cruiser. This is a great vehicle to take to local neighborhood car cruises or bike nights. It also would make a cool pit bike, parade vehicle or campground cruiser. You might even want to just park it front of (or inside) your business as an eye-catching promotional vehicle!
-The winning bidder will also get all sorts of cool stuff for your next car cruise or bike night. Owners manual, chassis parts list, rare marketing material, vintage magazines reviewing the Rupp Centaur, matching House of Kolor Candy-Green Metal-Flake helmet and even a matching Dragonfly shirt!
-It also has a JBL GTS 100X High Current Channel Power Amplifier with Boston Acoustics Speakers. There is no receiver installed at this time but I can throw in a Sony CDX-MP70 CD/MP3 Receiver with CD Changer Controls if the winner bidder would like it
-Tires appear to be original. They do not leak but they are showing some age so they will eventually need to be replaced
-Side upholstery is original and is showing some patina but is still presentable
-Rear Dual Inboard Hydraulic Disc Brakes have plenty of stopping power. Front brakes were eliminated.
-Local pickup in Hamburg, NY 14075 or buyer responsible for any and all shipping arrangements. Try Uship.com. They are reliable and cheap
-I require the winning bidder to make a minimum good faith deposit of $500.00 immediately through Pay Pal.
-I have been an Ebay member since 1999 and have 100% POSTIVE FEEDBACK. I tell it like it is with no surprises so bid with confidence
