Finally got a 70

[dcreel]

Yesterday the wife called me on her way to work and said "Merry Christmas". Needless to say I was confused until she told me there was an atc70 in the back of a guys truck with a sign that said For Sale. I ran down there to the guys job where the truck was parked and went inside to find him. He's the second owner, it came with the original paperwork including a card with a plug screw to plug the hole for the speed limiter screw. It has a string on it so I assume it hung from the bars. It's an 82 model, in great condition. Starts one pull, no choke in 30 degree weather. The gas tank looks new, it is leaking oil from the drain plug, haven't looked into that yet. Homemade grab bar that doesn't look bad but will be replaced with a good condition oem one, if you have one to sell pm me. Yes, my wife is awesome. :lol: On to the pics.

Nice little 70, looks like the frame may be tweaked slightly and the steering stops to.

Blue27, I would be in for a couple shirts.

Nice find and Merry Christmas Doug

Ditto on the shirt, Blue27

[Jon Boy]

looks pretty good. congrats on the find. :beer

briano, it looks fairly straight to me. i think it might just be the angle of the pic. although there is some weird wear on the front sides of the tank like the front has been rubbing on it.
you gonna gas and ride, resto or maybe mad 70 build? either way you'll have fun. :lol:

+1 for a 70's shirt.

You screwed up letting her ride it. Now you are never going to get it back. LOL I can see the smile through the helmet.

Thats right. I bought another 70 last week to keep stock. The wife still dont know about it yet. LOL

[dcreel]

I've got a header bolt broke off on the Tri-Zinger, once I fix that it's drag race time... The Zinger has a new DG exhaust so it should be interesting..

[Fungo Wizard]

great find Dcreel. I am super stoked to get a tank for mine and get my kids on it.

[dcreel]

This summer when I get the oval and mx track in my backyard built we're going to have to have a get together and wring 'em out.. We'll have a kids race too..
