Super Bronc 2 VT-10 with 3.6 original miles

[drheilman]

I cant believe it either. I went to check it out (craigslist) with only 18 bucks in my pocket. Here is the story I got......He and his Uncle built this beautiful bike in 1978. Shortly after building it His uncle passed away. The bike has been sitting in his Aunts garage since then. He recently moved his Aunt into a home, and cleaned out her garage to find the bike under a dissolved tarp. He brought it home,changed the oil,filled it up with gas, and drove it down the street! We were able to work out a trade....... Oh it also came with ALL the literature and assembly instructions. :thumbsup:

Anyway. What would you charge for real size copies of all the manuals? I really REALLY want a set of these even if they are copies

[drheilman]

Oh I almost forgot to show this little option... and I'll see what I can do about getting all this paperwork scanned.

 

[chatten63]

the 5 quart tank paperwork would be nice to see,I would be interested in that copy

 

[delray]

drheilman,could you tell me the numbers/letters that are stamp on the engine.

thanks delray............

 

[drheilman]

Heres photos of the aux gas tank and front brake, I will try to get my scanner working.

 

[toomanytoys]

So awesome.

I have up on power tec. Ron is a nice guy but they can make forks and handle bars. But don't have clutch covers and things like that.

Delray: engine # HM100 159027B ser# 3269D Bronco#429

 

[minibikedude]

Nice find, :thumbsup:
But I think its more of a mid 80's Bronc than 1978, It has the black frame and newer style clutch cover and says Bronc II on it. Ron told me those came out in that time frame.
There was one like that with all the racks on eBay not too long ago.

i think the people who told you the bike was built in 1978 where little off on there years. in 1978 all the bikes where still painted red. it wasn't until the 80's when they started to paint the bikes black and then in the 90's they had different color bikes,for example yellow..etc.....
your date code on your bike would read like this. ser# 3269D
3=1983
269= day of year
d= line it was built on

i hope this helps...............

Regardless, super nice. Delray, did you or Rick get that VT-8 in West Allis for $150? I went on to get the guy's number and the listing was taken down.

 

[delray]

no...:shrug:unless my cousin was holding out.......:laugh: there was a super bronc up north that came with all the papers......:thumbsup:sign by ron too..:smile:

 

[drheilman]

Yes, I ran the engine #'s too and its not a 78. I think that the Old timer that I got it off of had His years a little mixed up. (He was on pain pills). I also came across this "recall notice" for the ignition switch dated 1984. Does any body know if Heald had a date code for the bikes? Again the serial# is 479
