California sidecar? Model?

Can someone tell me anything about this particular car? Is it a California Sidecar? Which model? Thanks, Mike

Sorry couldn't get the picture in the posting. See link
It's on Craigslist. https://denver.craigslist.org/mcy/5799684451.html I can't find a bunch of pictures to compare but the ones I do find look somewhat different but maybe I'm looking at the wrong model. Seller claims its a 2 though he doesn't say friendship 2. Not real chatty on text

Looks to me like the same model as MaryAnn's...

Looks like California Friendship 1 sidecar.

It looks the same a MaryAnn's, whatever her's is, except it doesn't appear to be complete. No chrome ers or whatever they are called. Indeed if it's a friendship l, according to NADA, it's overpriced considerably even if it were compete. Have no idea if NADA valuations are accurate. Staying away from this one. Seller is too vague and says it's a "model 2"

It is a California friendship 1 sidecar that has an over sized tire on it and has been mounted using Motovation sidecars mounting hardware.
Very few parts are still made for this sidecar, windshields can be had at http://www.bikescreen.com we can provide mounting hardware and the suspension bushing for the torsion bar suspension. Florida sidecar products can help with the springs and they may have a few other parts such as tail light lenses. California sidecars no longer supports any of their sidecars.

Thanks Definitely not interested. Not looking for a project, especially an overpriced one.
