Picked up my 73 ATC70!!!

[russell56443]

OK,IM not buying another trike until I get some stuff done to the ones I have :rolleyes:
I got my 73 and it is a project for sure but I have been looking at it under the canopy for over a year and I had to rescue her!
I need tires,cables,paint,seat,muffler ect.. but it's a real 73!
The only thing I cant figure out is the weird tank decals?
Well her she is!

needs work but much potential
looks like u need a exhaust also unless you have one is that i pipe welded to the header pointin twards the ground?

[russell56443]

LOL,yeah,the ehaust is rigged!
He last used it at his Ice house so there wasnt much chance of a fire.

Wow, thats a scary exhaust!! I wonder what a straight piped 70 would sound like?? :naughty:

And that is an interesting tank decal, it looks original, but didnt they come with flame decals in 73??

I have't seen one of those decals in years. A old neighbor kid had one on his 70 when I had my 90 right before I went into the service. I think it was aftermarket as it seemed that it didn't take much to mess up those flame decals. Heck, I'd try to get repros made of those tank decals and maybe use them just to be different. Those decals are pretty faded though.

I couldnt find those decals anywhere?
I figured they must be an after market deal.

I love those decals. I agree you need to get some of those. I'd contact Harlan and see if he can do anything with just taking pics of those and redoing them.
I know when I bought my 70 from him he took pics of some of the decals on it to do something with.

I love the fenders on the old ones...you can still buy a set of those from dratv.com

Not bad at all really. Kind of wish I kept mine but had no time to fix it.
