In A Barn For 50 Years! 1974 Harley-Davidson 398

This listing is for only one of the 1974 AMF Harley-Davidson Snowmobiles shown in this first photo, so don’t think this is a two-for-one sale. I’m assuming the one for sale is the one closest to the camera (phone)…. more»

A Mazda By Another Name: 1989 Ford Probe GT
