Only 500 Amal Eldos?! With the 4LS?!! This was my pals setup. Swapped the
Amals out with DeLortos, of coarse. I had no idea they were "rare" like
that. Oh well. How do you know this? Just one of those things?

I have, there was one listed a while back, also "Rare". Same basic
bike but no chrome fenders. That "Police Captain" must not have reached
"chrome" status yet. Smart remarks aside, Any differentiation between police
bikes for "Captains" would have to have been done by the local shop or the
departments maintenance force. I have never seen any indication of a
"special" police bike from Guzzi and this one seems no different than any of
the other LAPD/SFPD/CHPD or other police bikes from Guzzi.
I believe there were about 500 '74 Amal wearing 4LS Eldos imported
but no idea on the mix of civilian/police-California/GT or chrome
fenders/painted fenders. My brother and I have a "Rare" civilian '74 with
Amals and 4LS but no chrome fenders. As for the "Rare" quote from the add, I
think if you take the total number of loop frame Guzzis imported and figure
in attrition, all loop frame Guzzis are rare. They were rare back in the
'70s when I bought my first one.
