Description from the seller

Indian Chief Limited Edition 1999 – No. 1070 of only 1,100 units

For sale is an exceptionally rare Indian Chief Limited Edition from 1999 in the classic brown and cream color scheme. The badge identifies it as No. 1070 of only 1,100 units built worldwide.

1999 marks the first year of production for the revived Indian Chief from Gilroy, California. It is precisely this first numbered series that makes the motorcycle especially interesting today – and in Europe, examples of these early Limited Editions are virtually unavailable on the market.

With its deeply drawn fenders, large spoked wheels, distinctive front, and the elaborate brown leather finish with fringe and studs, this Indian embodies the classic American cruiser style. A double seat with a passenger backrest and large side leather bags emphasize its unmistakable appearance.

Under the tank sits the characteristic 1,442-cc S&S V-twin with S&S carburetor and belt drive. Add to that the unusually low mileage for its age of only 12,690 miles. The engine, transmission, and chassis are intact and operate properly – best prerequisites for a long motorcycle life and many more fantastic miles on the road.

Of course, age has left its marks. Corrosion and signs of wear are present on various chrome and metal parts, and the backrest could use some attention as well. These points are intentionally and honestly documented in the detail photos. The necessary work primarily concerns aesthetics and not the technical substance. For a connoisseur or handyman, this is the opportunity to restore the Indian piece by piece with some work and attention to detail – and finally to call it a unique and rare motorcycle that cannot be found on every corner.

Equipment:

- Indian Chief Limited Edition No. 1070/1100
- S&S V-Twin, 1,442 cm³
- S&S carburetor
- Mileage: only 12,690 miles
- Belt drive
- Disc brakes
- Electric starter
- Twin headlight at the front
- Brown/cream paintwork
- Large spoked wheels
- Deep drawn fenders
- Extensive chrome fittings
- Brown leather upholstery with studs and fringe
- Double seat with passenger backrest
- Large leather side bags
- Footboards
- EU papers available

A rare Indian from the first production year of the revived Chief – numbered, characterful, and with a solid technical base. A rarity on the European market that offers an opportunity few will encounter.

Viewing and collection are possible by appointment at the location Jablonec nad Nisou, Czech Republic.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
