CZ YELLOW-TANKER
These are probably the most converted and modified CZ's ever. One must appreciate the odd shaped tank and school bus color to capture the essence of why Yellowtankers are a favorite. 
 
A long time CZ racer I personally know has reported that on any given day in 1972, every bike on the Carlsbad starting line in the 250 class was a Yellow tank CZ!

Craig Walker of SoCal and a member of CALVMX did a great job on this 250CZ. Craig calls it "rattle can technology", but it sure looks allot better than the term implies. This machine is original and runs very well on the local VMX scene.

This 1972 CZ250 hybrid machine has all the bells and whistles. Its a '72 chassis with a '74 swingarm for rigididty, double pinch triple clamps and Falta replica fork mods. The Husky alloy tank was selected for comfort to the inner theighs and its lightweight. Digital ignition, Pro-Form pipe, Excel tempered alloy rims and modern Magura controls. Just some of the options making CZ's versitle in setting up to becoming an even greater handling and running machine!

A great example of a near original 125ccYellowtank CZ. Machines in this condition will bring from $3500 - $5000. Quite a big difference from $975 in 1972.

One of the finer restorations of a '72 380cc Yellowtanker. This one is owned by Larry Mitchell and he enjoys looking at it while on the phone in his office at work! Its nearly original with a Circle-F pipe and mikuni carburetor. Good show Larry!
