Hello all,
It's been a few years since I've been on the forum.
1969 Super Rat in bad shape. Left outside for years before I discovered it.

By looking at these Serial Numbers it looks fairly doubtful that 2,800 Super Rats were made in 1969. What month in 1969 did the production run start? It must have been fairly late in the year. When a chart is being created and the Information is unknown, it should state so. Do it right or don`t do it at all !!! My opinion. Joe Ormonde.

It sure looks like the Engines you have are the ones installed at the Factory! How many 69 Super Rats were built is a number I sure want to know. I`ll bet it`s low !!! Joe

Good question Joe. If there's any members willing to share what they have it might help.
One thing, not sure if its true or not, but I had heard that Hodaka didn't change their models from year to year like the auto manufactures, they just kept making the same models like the Ace 90, Ace 100, etc. I wonder if that might be the case?
