Hi Folks;
I am wet behind the ears when it comes to my newly purchased find in TN. I plow through the myriad of postings (old EXchange) on this site with hopes of gaining, as a minimum, a basic understanding of the project bike I recently bought. The very first lesson that I have learned was from "How to restore" Part 1 Chapter 1 “How to Identify” and then I read these sobering words "And the cow jumped over the moon". Dang….
So what I have are 16 inch rims, a frame with rear swing arm suspension, an engine stamped 62BTH4253 and a tank without the ignition switch inset. Oh yea, a couple of fenders and a speedometer.
As it appears the frame would be 1963 or newer, the 16 in rims would belong to the 1962-1965 Pacer, the engine says I am a 1962 Scat, the Speedo looks like a Pacer and who knows about the fenders. I suspect the best choice at this juncture is to build it back as a Pacer and role with the incorrect engine #.
However, at the end of the day I wouldn’t know what to call it year wise.
So folks wish me luck....
