THE PANZER CAPTAIN AMERICA

Known as 'Captain America', the Harley-Davidson chopper ridden by Peter Fonda in the iconic movie Easy Rider is one of the most readily identifiable motorcycles ever made. Since the movie's release in 1968 there have been countless replicas made, usually by individual customizers or enthusiasts, but a few years ago an American motorcycle manufacturer decided to put its own version into limited production. In creating their 'Captain America' replica, Panzer Motorcycle Works was able to call on the resources of a sizeable industry of engine and component manufacturers devoted to producing their own Harley-style motors. Panzer's 90ci (1,500cc) Neo-Pan unit is sourced from specialist engine builders, Accurate Engineering of Dohan, Alabama and incorporates crankcases, crankshaft, rods, cylinders and pistons from S&S, and STD cylinder heads.

The frame and most of the cycle parts come from Paughco, so it made sense for the Captain to be assembled by them rather than at Panzer's factory in Canyon City, Colorado. Almost inevitably, there have been some departures from the original movie bike's specification, Panzer's version incorporating a RevTech five-speed gearbox, belt final drive, disc brakes and an electric starter in the interests of improved performance and practicality, as well as other changes to conform with Federal traffic laws.


THE MOTORCYCLE OFFERED

This Panzer Captain America replica is a quintessential piece of Americana. One of reputedly only 50 made, this Panzer Captain was purchased by the current owner in Europe and having made its way back to the states in the past few years. Kept in dry storage, the machine displays a total of only 3731 miles on the odometer and is presented in wonderful condition.

The modern upgrades to this classic shape make it an extremely usable proposition. Most definitely not a machine for the shy or retiring, this beautiful 'Captain America' replica is eager for a new Wyatt.
