Appears to be an early to mid sixties shovelhead engine/frame and transmission(with kickstarter) a later model narrowglide frontend with slugs installed(fork extenders) probably early eighties softtail rear fender
Pretty much someones personal idea of a homebuilt chopper.
Pictures make it a little hard to tell the above for sure, but thats my personal opinion.

thats all the pics i have, this was my dads till he sold it in the late eightys. I was just curious. I am trying to hunt down the guy that bought it from him back then. I have a idea where he lives, just don't know if he is still around. would like to get it back and have it around. My dad never gives me a straight answer of what it really was..


thanks

Probably because after awhile with age they don't really remember what all went in to them, I grew up around Harleys and the people that rode them through my formative years and as my dad got older he lost track of what alot of things were like that..
Good luck finding it,,,,and better luck getting it back if the present owner finds out it has sentimental value to you.. The price will probably go up exorbatantly...I speak from experience..Found out the hard way when I tracked down my dads last car to buy it back from the present owner.

Didn't Johnny Cash have a song about a car like this Harley?

66-69 Generator case shovelhead- FX superglide by the looks of it. These had a hard time staying together- AMF owned H-D back then and you needed to be a mechanic to own one
