Back in January, we had reported the news regarding a collector’s edition Jack Daniel’s Indian Chief Vintage in the works. The limited edition run not only included the Chief Vintage but also the newly launched Springfield. Both these motorcycles were sold out within 24 hours.
The bike comes with an array of genuine Indian Motorcycle accessories and custom accessories, as well as Jack Daniel’s-inspired custom paint and logos, badging, leather saddle and saddlebags. Furthermore, a two-year unlimited mileage factory warranty and free membership in the Indian Motorcycle Riders Group for one year.
The individually numbered motorcycles were created to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Jack Daniel Distillery, which was registered in 1866. These special models were produced in extremely limited numbers that did not exceed 150 total units. Of the 149 units sold, 97 were purchased by customers in the U.S. and 38 found a home with international customers.
The final unsold unit, number 1 of the limited edition series, an Indian Chief Vintage version that was the custom painted prototype built by Klock Werks, will be auctioned at Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas on October 6-8 at the Mandalay Bay resort, with all monies from the auction benefiting Operation Ride Home. This is a partnership between the Jack Daniel Distillery and the Armed Services YMCA that provides funding and travel assistance to help junior-enlisted military personnel spend time with their families during the holiday season.
“The quick sale of these commemorative motorcycles speaks to the enduring appreciation for both the Indian Motorcycle and Jack Daniel’s brands,” said Steve Menneto, President of Motorcycles for Polaris Industries. “These motorcycles will always have a place in history, and will certainly be some of the most treasured of the new models coming out of Spirit Lake, Iowa.”
