1947 Indian Chief

This 1947 Indian Chief motorcycle is a classic piece of American automotive heritage. Manufactured in the United States shortly after World War II, this vintage bike has spent time in the small town of Cleghorn, Iowa. It's no ordinary antique though; it underwent a comprehensive refurbishment by Wilson Plank of American Indian Specialists in 2003, which included rebuilding its powerful 74ci V-twin engine, three-speed transmission, and other essential components like the Linkert carburetor and Auto-Lite distributor. The original 16-inch wire-spoke wheels, plunger shocks, and drum brakes round off this iconic vehicle's features, making it a unique blend of history and robust design. Currently listed for auction with no reserve, this Chief offers enthusiasts an opportunity to own a well-maintained specimen of American motorcycle engineering from the heartland itself.
