Triumph Bonneville description

Here we have a 1978 Triumph Bonneville Project. This bike I found sitting for some time. The frame and engine numbers match. Looks like someone had the bike apart at one point and mocked it back together as not to loose parts.  The engine does kick over, but does not run, so I am listing this bike as a non running project, and will need a full restoration. There is a title for the bike that matches the VIN. I will now let my 38 picture slideshow I provided in the listing do the talking. You must use a regular computer or laptop to see the slideshow.  They will not show up with apps, phones, or some tablets. Click on the view all tab at the bottom of the slideshow to see all the pictures.

 This is a NO RESERVE auction. No warranties expressed or implied , and a as is where is sale. Feel free to have the motorcycle inspected if you like.  All sales are final, and there are no refunds or returns, and inspections are recommended. Bike comes with a title from the previous owner, that matches the bikes VIN. Full payment is do within 7 days after the auction has ended. Buyer must also contact me within 2 days after the auction has ended to set up a time for payment and pickup. Bike must be picked up in Tampa FL. As long as the bike is paid for in full within 7 days after the auction has ended, then she can sit here for up to two months, but would like it picked up as soon as possible. Please look at all of the pictures, including the slideshow pictures, and ask all questions before bidding as I will be happy to answer them.  Thank you and happy bidding!

Above is some fantastic home movie footage of Buddy Holly and the Crickets messing around on motorbikes in 1958. The story behind the bikes in the video starts after Buddy Holly, Joe Mauldin and Jerry Allison came back from a successful tour in 1958, flush with cash.
