I bet a real H-D Soft Tail of about the same vintage and condition would fetch about the same, if not more.
To me, a hard tail means rigid frame, no rear suspension except maybe in the seat. A soft tail means it has rear suspension.

So this bike has a mono-shock and spring in the rear making it sorta a soft tail.

This bike is based on a single down tube War Eagle Custom 250 Harley Davidson Soft tail style frame.
