Way back in 2010, when “American Pickers” was two seasons long and still gaining traction, rivals Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz hit it off, as they’d done countless times before in an episode titled ” Easy Riders” had done. This time, her search took her to Missouri, where a longtime collector awaited her with a remarkable find: a 1937 Harley Davidson Knucklehead. For such a bike, Fritz and Wolfe were more than willing to strike a deal one way or another. When the dust settled and the negotiation process was over, the two pro pickers secured the bike for $20,000.
Although there were a handful of replacement parts, the ’37 Harley Davidson Knucklehead was still a superb piece that any motorcycle collector would surely love to have in their showroom. Luckily for those interested, there are still a few floating around out there, but if you’re buying from a collector don’t expect to have an easy time getting it from them. Two years after getting the .37, Wolfe and Fritz almost got their hands on a .47 Knucklehead, which is quite an exciting find. Though the owner still had a strong bond with it, he turned down his $25,000 offer (via Huffington Post).
All these decades later there is still a lot of love for Harley Davidson Knuckleheads in the world. It’s just too bad not everyone who wants one has a disposable income from “American Pickers” to buy one with.
