My wife's grandfather passed away recently and I have been told I am going to inherit his 650 special. They don't know much about it until lawyers give the release of the title and such.
Would anyone help me identify what model/year it is? Here is an album of some photos I took.

It has not been ran in quite some time. It ran before he stopped riding it but it has been sitting for many many years. I was hoping to restore it to the point I can use it as a Sunday rider. Anything I should know going into this? I feel a carb rebuild will be needed and a bunch of other thing (electrical, brakes, chain, tires). For the family's sake, I want to keep it as original as possible.
Any other gotchas I should know before going into this?
