Yeah really, sales pitch:
Yeah well, ONLY 500 imported here to the Good 'ol US. Took the Amal's off
her and been putting up with these here DeLorto's. They're allright I guess.
At least by taking off the Amals I was able to preserve "em just in case a
fine fellow like you came by. I can tell your a stickler for orginal and
authentic stuff. Tell you what, I don't do this for everyone BUT for and
Extra $300 I throw on the Amal's for ya. That way there ain't no bones about
the originality!
HA!

Can't be too rare then. I have one also... Or maybe through some
statistical anomalie, we all happen to be connected. Like seven steps
to Kevin Bacon.
I swapped out the amal's for del orto's as well.
So, anyone want to buy a "rare" bike? Heck, I'll through in the amal
carbs in the interest of keeping it original...
Cheers,
Jason

Just one of those things?

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.

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. Alan '74 Eldorado LAPD (down for the winter, 6 inches of snow here now) MGNOC 4352 Alan R.
