1983 Electriglide Classic Shovelhead
1983 Electriglide Classic FLHT
This is a true classic - 25 years old and very well taken care of! This is just about all original just like it was rolled off the showroom floor with around 33,000 miles. It runs great and looks great. This is one of the last shovelhead's and it has the 5 speed transmission! It has recently been at the local shop to replace all the head gaskets and carb gaskets since it had some very minor leaks. It was never dropped while ridden but it did fall over once and the batwing faring has scratches on the right side (see pictures), other than that the two-tone Tan & Crčme paint is flawless. I uploaded many pictures into my personal photo album so you can see more if you are interested.
This is a blast to ride and even more fun when someone sees it and realize what it is, I get many comments from those who know!
Asking $9500.

KBB is 6565$, with all due respect what makes your 1983 worth another almost 3000$?

could be that it's all there, all original.
It's a survivor.
Nice bike, but it will take the right buyer

I agree it does look good. I was only inquiring as I have a 1983 FLHS, not all in original condition but all the original parts are there except the paint job,different exhaust(I still own the original) and I've added a windshield. I thought perhaps 1983 might have been a "special" year for some reason. Last year of the shovel and all that.

Clearly it is the color that makes it so valuable.
Nice job keeping it stock for 25 years.
