The dispute seemed settled when Haggerty issued this statement: “The bike owned by Michael Eisenberg is the only authentic Captain America bike that was rebuilt from the original frame up. Haggerty knew the Captain America better than most as he wrangled bikes on the set of Easy Rider. To solve the dispute, they turned to none other than “Grizzly Adams” star Dan Haggerty. Now, the chopper is locked at the center of a quarrel between two men both claiming rightful ownership. Then along came a Texan named Gordon Granger, who claimed that he was, in fact, in possession of the original Captain America. The bike hit the auction block and sold for a princely $1,350,000.
It’s owner was a collector and realtor named Michael Eisenberg. The problems started last fall, when the Profiles in History auction house, which specializes in Hollywood artifacts, put Captain America up for sale.
Now, forty years later, Captain America is a movie prop worth millions of dollars that rests at the center of a messy legal battle over the bike’s authenticity. People who watched the film-in which Wyatt and Dennis Hopper’s Billy cross the country, wheel-on-wheel, on a tragic quest-imagined discarding their own possessions and reshaping their idea of the American Dream. As time passed, Captain America became the centerpiece of this anti-establishment, middle-finger-of-a-movie. It is Captain America, the chopper driven by Peter Fonda’s Wyatt in Easy Rider and a chromed-out icon of ’60s counterculture the open road.
