Without some kind of provenance it's just hearsay? No proof?

Well, if it sells for more than the starting bid, I may have to strip the color anodizing off of one of mine, and sell it too!

Like Mudhen used to say, never buy the story only the item...or something to that effect. For starters I see the needle is wrong as is the glowhead. Also if you give anodized parts a bath in Drain-O the aluminum will become a dull color, like the engine in the listing.

Looks like it's media blasted, or lye soaked like Mark suspects. An RR-1 is always nice, and I would buy that one if the price was right. With the blasted surface and no chance to see what's inside, for me the right price would be more like $49.50 and that'd better include shipping too. But I am cheap Very Happy
