I just picked up this rusty old gem last Friday. It's a Candy Emerald Green 1971 CT70H that I bought from a friend after bugging him to sell it to me for over a decade.. I saw him at work last week and he finally gave me the word that he had to get ride of both of his CT70's. My buddy bought the KO blue one while I got the green one....

When I first looked at the bikes I noticed that the green bike said CT70H on the frame stamp and head stock, I instantly thought I had stumbled across a 4 speed manual bike... Nope, it's a three speed auto... Hmm.... I was under the impression that all H's were 4 speed manuals.... The bike came with the left hand brake lever for the rear brake just like all KO's and a mount for the rear brake cable... Everything leads this being a CT70H with a three speed.... Did the H ever come in a three speed? Z, this stuff is right up your alley...
