It looks to be a 79 special (kickstarter) with a later model seat. The lack of an adequate exhaust system may shorten the life of the engine. I do like the color.

But the wear on the back tire and the lack of exhaust would be something that I'd change depending on what you're asking for it.
If I were coming to look at it, those two issues would say to me that it's been a burnout toy and it's been abused. You might consider changing those things if you are asking a decent price for it.
BTW did you lower the front or just take the air out of the forks? Doing so can affect the mechanics and handling. Just curious...
Good luck in the sale.
It looks like the front was just pulled down by the ratchet straps.
It also looks funny to me without the grabbar behind the seat.The tank and side covers look nice though.Did you paint it?Did you put many miles on it yourself?
