Pulse #78

James Cheney of Nashville, TN offered #78 for sale on Facebook in Nov. of 2026

The following info was provided at that time.....

VIN #78 which was sent back to the factory at some point and repowered with a 1978 Honda GL1000, front cone headlights redone with later years fiero light (works), reverse gear, etc. 4,200 Miles.

This was bought and sold new in Nashville, TN in 1985, where it remains in my possession. It was repainted somewhere in the 90s based on some paperwork I found in the car in Chrysler Emerald Green Pearl. I purchased it from a wealthy gentleman with 3 real BD-5s and 2 Autocycles. It was stored in one of his climate controlled aircraft hangers and taken great care of, but hadn’t been driven in 20+ years.

On the final stages of getting it back on the road, finishing a new gas tank setup, gauges, and some wiring cleanup, but she runs great. Will be for sale once I complete that work.

Will even come with a spare tail (seen in pic #4) and an original tow bar (has a bend on one fork end needs to be cut and a new section re-welded or pressed back into shape) Original canopy and windshield in great shape. Windshield has one small chip outside of the line of sight that has not expanded. Interior in excellent shape.

Just some highlights:

New tires all around, 60% is all New electrical, New Starter, New battery, New brakes, Rebuilt rear caliper, All new fuel lines, Rebuilt Carburetor, New exhaust gaskets and New valve cover gaskets.

Will probably be around $19K.
