KO 489
I restored the body on this one around 12 years or so ago and its almost finished now, this buggy is owned by vernan mckay in QLD, he has been very
fustidious in rebuilding this one, still 6v as well, it does need the original exhaust though in my opinion.
PS i think he may have thought this was 439 until i pointed out its and 8 instead of 3.

buggy
Definitely needs the proper exhaust, looks a bit cheap like it is - unlike the exotic beasts that they are..

Very nice looking CB.
Any more pics available?
Is that an original color???
It looks a little lighter than the green OEM color to me.
12 years, eh?
A real labor of love.....and persistence.

More pics would be great.
This paint job.....looks to be very well done.....but it appears to be much lighter..I'm not being critical.....just making a observation.....not the
deeper green of the following examples. Mr. Moore's is original I believe.
