I don’t know if there is a matching fork. There are buckets of random forks that could be used.

Is it worth powdercoating?
$80 for chem dip
$150 powdercoating
$35 for decals if available?

to sell for what?

To advance any informed opinion it would be very helpful to see a Photograph of the entire Bicycle.
There's probably a Serial Number somewhere which may or may not be informative.
Suspect your example has clearance for substantial rubber.
Only original once...

Though overshadowed by Columbus, Falck fashioned fine tubing;@T-Mar wrote well of it. Falck was the largest manufacturer of non-bike specific tubing in Italy at the time.

"Carabela" is (masculine) Spanish for the Portuguese "Man of War" ships, and the Portuguese Man O' War siphonophore.

Currently making a rider of a ~1973 Carabela Profesional. The Acer-Mex products from the early 70s are interesting.

Thanks for posting this, and thanks in advance for posting a pic of the bike entire. Maybe post one over on the "Acer-Mex" Thread for Posterity?
