The bike has the sandcast cases and is completely unmodified except for a header that was placed on it in the first five years of ownership. I know for a fact that the bike has sat in his garage untouched for the last 30 years at least. I am certain I could get it or $1000, possibly less. I don't know if anyone else considers this a "barn find" but I do. I have not been a bike guy in a lot of years but this bike has sentimental value to me. Can parts o this bike be gotten? I assume sitting this long would necessitate a full tear down but is there chance that would NOT be required?

Sandcast 750s are VERY collectible---and would be worth waay more than 1,000--even if needing a complete rebuild.
