Last time I came to you guys, you talked me into pulling the trigger on the Autocycle Whizzer. Here is another i'm after.

A friend of mine has this in his museum and he told me a while back that I have first shot if he sells.

Just wondering what a "Retail" value on this might be....

Killer paint job, prewar Schwinn, and it runs. The perfect trio if you ask me,

Just a conversation started.

Thanks,
Tyler

Notice the old decals on the chainguard and tanks. Also the age. I'm almost sure its OG. Gotta love the sheep skin seat cover.

I can't remember what it was. It's been a while since I've seen it in person.

Trade your girlfriend or wife for the machine because you can always get another one when you cruise on this one.

I have literature somewhere on this motor kit. I'll try and dig it up.
