This tank is from a 1963-69 Honda dream ca77. It's in great shape for its age. Tank pads are in good shape with no tears or crumbling. Tank covers have some very mild pitting. Tank itself has some paint chips and the inside is rusty along the tunnel, but absolutely NO dents. inside rust would clean up easily with some metal rescue. bought this for a project, but decided to go a different direction. asking $150 obo. i am in souderton, PA for pickup, or i can ship to wherever.

Very interesting tank. Think it could fit a cb550 frame? Late '76 model. How long is this tank measured?
 
Yeah I love these old tanks, it just isn't fit for what I'm going for. I'm not sure how it would fit a 550 frame, if mounts would need to be modified on the frame or what, but I will certainly measure the tank for you when I get home from work later today.
 
Sorry I went and rough measured my tank and felt like this one would be a little too short.. Got myself a CB500T tank coming. Hopefully someone can make this awesome tank work on their project.
 
Unfortunately I think you're going to have a hard time selling this tank. Not because of your asking price or the condition, it's lower priced and better condition than the other tanks on eBay. But it's missing a lot of the really important parts, like the gas cap, and the tank badges and the petcock.

For someone to buy those parts separately would cost almost another $200. And dream tanks aren't as in demand as superhawk tanks for custom builds, because of the wide front tunnel opening. Your best option, in my opinion, is to either sell it on the honda305 forum to someone who is rebuilding a dream, or part it out on ebay. The chrome tank panels are worth money if you can shine them back up first, and clean up the knee pads with some tire foam.
 
Thanks for the tips guys. I listed it on eBay yesterday, but ill try those forums too. Hope they don't mind someone joining just to unload some stuff, haha.
 
Hondatwins is another enthusiast community - I'd suggest noting that we sent you and asking best offer, and not expecting Ebay prices :)
