Definitely a 79 Special with a standard tank swapped on, looks like it might be the Venturer tank even.

Very nice bike and lots of love went into it for sure! Enjoy it and the memories it gives you.

Does look larger than a standard tank. Hope it gives you good new memories to share with the old!!

Interesting, I've never seen one of those factory option touring seats on a Special before. I guess it fits because the Standard tank is being used.

when I pull the tank to check the valves I'll see if theres any badging on the tank. it holds 5 Gallons.

i want to say the seat is saddleman after market.. don't quote me on that. I know I've seen the saddlemans that are still porduced to this day and it looks alot the same.

as you can see in the picture of me riding it i still have one of the helmets he had done with the bike. the whole dome is airbrushed to match the murals on the bike. it looks like and old "CHiPs" helmet... all i'm missing is some chromed aviators
