Riding this bicycle it will pull to the left.  Upon inspection the front wheel is okay, the fork is okay, the head tube is not parallel to the seat tube.  There is no apparent collision damage to the frame.

If the seat tube is vertical, the top of the head tube is tilted 1 or 2 degrees to one O'clock.

Was this a fault in manufacturing?  Did this occur on other frames from this era?

With ignorance, levers, brute force and no alignment jigs or equipment, I managed to slightly over correct the alignment of the head tube relative to the seat tube.  The top tube paint shows signs of stress.

The steering has improved.  But you cannot ride with no hands.

I have the boys version of the Rambler Scrambler. It was the first bike my parents bought me in '69.

And yes it was Violet with the handle bars and seat identical to Toms bike.

Unfortunately, I only have the frame, chain guard, part of the fork and the front wheel( with tire and tube that is still hoding air)

Frame was badly repainted blue but the steering tube inside the head tube is Violet.

I would like to rebuild if possible but I need alot of parts.

Crank, pedals, rear wheel,chain, forks, fenders, seat and sissy bar, handlebars. 

Any help would be appreciated.
