Item #53: Slick Operator – Champion Blue Bar Ringer T-Shirt

Availability: Explore Harley Tees on Defunkd

Decade: 1970s

Dealer Customization: None

Harley Fact: Harley’s Power Blend Oil was branded in the 1970s during the AMF Harley era. The can was also replicated as an AM radio.

This is one of the slickest (pun intended) and rarest Harley tees out there. Its got it all – Evil Knievel #1 logo, it’s a Champion Blue Bar and has a super cool graphic. Lucky eBayer (no_repros_here) found a treasure trove of the extremely rare Harley tees at the estate sale of a slick Harley dealership operator. The seller made a few YouTube videos of the score. You can watch them below. Prepare to drool.

Approximate Value: $400.00
