This is the history of the car up to the time it was purchased from Mr. Sullivans daughter by Mr. Givre In March of 2005.

Mr. Givre replaced the front floor sections and resurfaced the interior trunk area. He could not finish the work needed on the car so he placed it for sale on eBay where it was purchased by me in July 2005.

I have had it painted in our body shop (Valley Freightliner Inc.) where they removed the rust in the rocker panels and welded in new metal, I rebuilt the carburetor, had the gas tank cleaned and sealed, replaced the fuel tank sending unit, installed all new heater hoses and new radiator hoses with new antifreeze, cleaned, painted and tuned the engine, Repacked the front wheel bearings, installed new wheel cylinders and a rebuilt master cylinder, installed the new carpet that came with the car, had the front and rear seats re-upholstered, installed new trunk front and side cardboards, removed the dash, stripped it and painted it, cleaned all the instruments, rebuilt the radio, and installed a new exhaust system including a NOS heat riser valve and NOS manifold.

This is a car that can be driven now and enjoyed while doing the details that need to be finished. In the 3200 miles I have driven this car it has used 1quart of oil, doesn’t smoke at all, and the transmission works flawlessly. There is a small crack in the windshield but it has been repaired so it hasn’t grown at all since then. All turn signals, headlights, and brake lights work well however the dimmer switch needs a little extra tap now and then when changing from high to low beams.

1990 Yamaha FJ 1200 , 35K miles. I completely went thru this bike front to back to make it ride like a new FJ1200, and spent too much money, It has the following items all BRAND NEW: Bridgestone Battleax tires front and rear, New fork tubes and all seals with new Progressive springs, new triple tree bearings, repacked front and rear wheel bearings, new choke cable, rebuilt carbs to be compatible with ethanol fuels, new air filter, new cam cover gasket, spark plugs, new H4 headlight bulb, new windscreen, new Corbin seat. Fuel tank has been etched and sealed internally. New brake pads, brake fluid, Synthetic engine oil and filter. It is equipped with a Vance & Hines 4:1 header. While apart for my refreshing the entire bike was cleaned and degreased.
My investment is over $3000.00 during the past 2 years.
