Was it running when you got it? Also, how many miles?

So this seller is a Bultaco fan, w/a screen name like that. He probably won't be back-on since he sold it.

One of my friends from up NY-way (that's 'western NY') was a factory rider in Europe for Bultaco in the 1960's. He was one of many sons and daughters of a big family where Mom & Dad had a motorcycle dealership outside Rochester. They sold British and European bikes, and he later was a Kawasaki dealer in Rochester. He's probably forgotten more about bikes that I ever-knew. Listening to him tell stories about his exploits over the years is highly-entertaining. Their family business was a real old-fashioned shop, and they had a scrambles track in the acreage behind the shop. What better way to test your new Pursang than to fire it up and slam-into some berms, and get some air 'out-back?' It's where I was introduced to off-road riding, and fueled my interest in bikes in-general.

Senor FX Bulto was his guest in the USA on more-than one occasion, and they eventually bought the east coast Bultaco distributorship.

Here's a couple shots of a Bultaco Metralla owned by a friend of mine who's a Yamaha factory mechanic. He's built plenty of hot-rod VMaxes, and was on the job when it was released.

That VMax bike sounds like the start of a good project.

Ha, sounds like Sean scooped it!

That Bultaco in the pics has some differences from a stock Metralla. Anyone know what?

Everyone's related. I won't know until he emails me. Do you live in Detroit?

I was so close to pulling the trigger, but it was just a little bit past my skill level to finish it.
