I purchased this beauty from a very nice lady whose husband who was nearing the final stages of a respectable driver quality restoration.

Sadly, Joe died before the restoration was complete. Joe bought this Cadillac in 1960 at 12,000 miles and enjoyed it up until his death in 1999. The car was always parked in a dry garage. The odometer now

reads 1889 miles. Joe's wife told me the odometer has gone around once. As you can see in the pictures, the convertible top/rear glass are in " as new" condition, as well is the interior. Joe had the top and interior replaced just prior to his death.

The windshields are in very nice condition and the door glass is in very nice condition with no cracks or chips. The wing window tracts and glass are new in a box and needs to be installed. The side windows and trays are included and will need to be installed. Basically, the only thing the car is missing is the trunk release handle and a few nicknacks here and there. The car appears to have had one re-paint in the mid 90's. It is

very respectable looking even close up. I get thumbs up and doubletakes everywhere that I go. The chrome and brightwork are also in very nice condition. I would give the chrome a solid 9.5 with 10 being as new!

Last week I tuned it up with new plugs and wire and installed a new battery. The headlights, tailights, brakelights, turn signals, wipers, horn, dash lights, high beam indicator and cigarette lighter all work! The fuel, temperature, ammeter and oil pressure gauges all work too! The clock and radio do not work. The generator charges as it should and the oil pressure gauge indicated 20 psi at idle and above 30 psi at high idle after the engine is warmed up. I also flushed the radiator.

The engine is an OHV 331 CI and was new for '49. It has no noticable leaks and hits on all 8 cylinders but sometimes pops through the carbuerator under acceleration.

Weak intake spring? The good news is that the more I run the engine, the less it pops! Hopefully it will go away! The transmission is a Hydromatic 4 speed an shifts fine as it should. The brakes work as they should with a firm pedal and smooth and true stops. The power top motor and hydraulic system are operating but for some reason the top wil only lift about half way then it won't go any farther so for the time being until i figure it out, I just put it up and down manually. The car is very solid and very straight with no dents and I haven't noticed any rust other than some light surface rust and a small repair on the drivers side floor where the heater core had leaked at some point.

Also included in the sale are Coker wide whitewall tires.

1938 Harley-Davidson Knucklehead Pre War Original for Sale

Fresno, CA
Jan 01, 2024
Exceptionally high caliber restoration of an early serial number 1938 Harley Davidson Knucklehead. A great deal of time, money and effort was spent to make this bike as correct as possible using original Harley Davidson Factory parts, down to the finest details. The motor cases are pristine condition with matching belly numbers, correct original heads, cylinders, and M5 carburetor with original air cover. The oil pump is the correct 1936 to early 1938 style with unmachined boss and early 1938 only pressure switch nipple. The transmission, including case, lid, kicker cover, kicker arm and clutch lever are proper for the year. The frame is a rare, early 1938 with a number 2 casting mark on the headstock, and it has the brazed in piece on the brake stay. The front end main fork has the proper forward swept legs and keyway in the damper hole. The spring fork is correct with a #3 casting mark, and the crown nut is the early type with built in bearing race. The frame and forks were laser jigged and thoroughly examined prior to finishing. Sheet metal is all original, finished in 1938 Hollywood Green with Gold and Black Pin Striping. The entire dash, including the base, cover, switch, speedometer and even the lens covers are OEM. The Headlight is an original Cycleray, including an NOS bezel, reflector, and # 5 lens. The horn is an original 9 bolt with NOS face, the front fender light and tail light are original including glass. Handlebars are original early brazed type, spirals are NOS with fresh chrome, and cables are also NOS HD. Both crash bars, floorboards, clutch assembly, big toe brake pedal and NOS Pads are factory original as well as the riveted chain guard. The step hubs are pristine originals, the spokes are NOS with fresh cad, and the rims are original Kelsey Hayes 705’s. I believe you would be hard pressed to find a restored 1938 Knucklehead as original and factory correct as this. Bikes like this are few, and do not come up for sale on the open market often, so if you are looking for a fine quality pre war Knucklehead, don ’t pass up the opportunity to own one. Clean title.

This is my 1947FL Knucklehead. It is mostly original and has matching numbers. The frame is an uncut original and the tanks are the one year only 47 tanks. The speedometer was sent out to be oiled, cleaned and set to zero so I can keep track of oil changes. This was done when the motor was rebuilt 6000 miles ago. The bike has the 47 optional Linkert M75 instead of the M35. The M75 had a little bit bigger venturi. The rocker boxes (knuckles) are powder coated with Silver Hammertone as is the cam cover and kicker cover-looks beautiful. The bike runs nice and everything works as it should. Clean title.
