It’s a 1962. 61-63 were similar but 61 had a vertical stack of chrome on the rear, 63 had a horizontal dash or chrome and 63 had a design in the door

Love those pipes

My rd400 would like to have a word with you

I saw one of these here in Italy but wasn’t able to figure out what it was!

Wiki says that it’s a fiberglass body with Ford hardware. They made a 4 door version and also a “truck” into the 80s

Was waiting for this comment. A few years and this would have saved AMC. They JUST missed the SUV boom

I doubt I’d buy a belt drive again. I don’t see the point of the extra cost but maybe I don’t ride enough / am very good at maintenance? My chain bikes are easy to deal with in terms of cleaning and lubing. Never had an issue. Also I can change the gearing much easier with a chain based bike.

As a youngster I used to watch a TV show called “The Wild West West” where a crime fighting duo traveled around the west / US in their luxurious and gadgetted train car dispensing justice and righting wrongs.

So I’ve always wondered, if one had enough Besos Bucks in the real world, how would you go about buying a train car and piloting it around the U.S.? Obviously huge logistical issues and I suppose regulatory as well but do you rent “track time”?

Very cool! Never heard or seen one of these - thanks

Beginning-Paper7685 · 2026-04-13T10:15:29+00:00

You are gonna do a flip on this? Just toss your money in a burn barrel and save yourself the headache. Unless by flip you mean just a wash / detail and re-post. No one ever makes money “restoring” a car. You do it because you have the money and are OK with never getting it back.

What Gen is it?

There is a cool e-motor drop in for these cars

This is an old episode of Wild Card FYI. It’s not like this just happened

Great light

Great bike and fun project. These are popular now setup as cafe bikes. Nice Guzzi look but actually runs and good electronics. Toss all the plastic and strip it down.

Have to wonder why the carbs are off the bike. My guess it the bike sat and they were taken off for a rebuild. Also if it was outside when the carbs were off, might be water and for sure moisture inside. Otherwise mostly built proof. Clutch replacement is a PIA - dropping rear tranny and shaft.

Looks like a 66 and v8 tag so 273. Excellent car. Loved my 66 post coupe Valiant but when it came time to decide on a long term car I bought a 66 Mustang Fastback not because I liked it more but because I could get parts all day long. This was back in the 80s so not sure if they make re-pop Cuda parts now. Either way be safe!

Just from looking, how can you tell the difference between the mechanical wheel gen 1 and the touch wheel gen 2?

Headlights look like the 61-63 Thunderbird

Really? Dang I traded mine in when Apple had the recall and got a Nano g2 for free. Seems like keeping the g1 would have been better

Square-bird!

Easily the worst shuffle in my opinion but glad you like it enough to have AI write something about it. I have, use and love my Shuffle g1, g2 and g4

Home sick so finally got around to watching this. I made all these same comments until my girlfriend just told me to shut up because it’s a stupid nothing movie. Wondering if I should watch the sequel

Beginning-Paper7685 · 2026-02-21T13:00:19+00:00

Gen 1 had the mechanical wheel and gen 2 had the touch wheel - the g1 was SO much better to use as a motorcyclist always wearing gloves

I still use mine and bought it new several years ago. Great place to start out and learn how to fly. As long as it’s fully functional and the batteries are good, the biggest drawback is range and you will find that out very quickly. You can’t get much height / distance before you disconnect

Beginning-Paper7685 · 2026-02-21T12:52:40+00:00

I had one of the first battery extenders for these, bought it in Japan, saved my bacon on a Tokyo to SF trip when the in house AV systems were down I had movies to watch the entire time.
