1998 Custom Chopper

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Building a custom chopper is a way for individuals to showcase their unique style, personality, and personal creativity to create a bike that is entirely their own. This particular chopper was crafted in 1998 by Carlini Design and features a striking yellow paint, enhanced by airbrushed leopard flames. The frame is sculpted, the fenders are custom-shaped, and the gas tank is sleek, all designed to house the chrome-plated Harley-Davidson Evolution V-twin engine. This combination creates a unique blend of iconic parts to create a truly individualized example that is likely to be a memorable example anywhere it goes. 

This chopper is part of the George Foreman Collection, which comprises over 50 cars from the 1930s through today, with a focus on American classics and late-model sports cars.

Known Imperfections

• Please note that this lot is offered in non-running condition after being stored without operation in a climate-controlled facility for at least 10 years. As a result, it will benefit from additional mechanical attention before being driven to address any imperfections associated with long-term storage or individual preferences. Bidders are encouraged to review the Additional Documents section of each lot for any recent mechanical service rendered to help return certain vehicles to running condition. Additionally, bidders should carefully review the photos of each lot in the collection, which may highlight the oxidation of metal components certain vehicles sustained as the result of a garage fire caused by a golf cart battery in March 2019. Although none of the vehicles sustained fire damage from the fire itself, the negative cosmetic effects of the corrosive soot vary greatly from vehicle to vehicle and can be observed in the photo galleries of each lot. All lots are sold as is, where is, and bidders are responsible for any desired diligence before placing a bid.

• Please note that due to a digital odometer screen issue, the true mileage of this Custom Chopper is unknown

• Oxidation affecting the handlebars and headlight
