I live for the CABE
I got this Jag a few months back and after some debate decided to sell as I needed the funds. After putting it up for sale and no offers I traded it for a 60s Huffy tandem in mint condition and a 20 inch 69' typhoon. I made the deal as I had two buyers lined up for the tandem- both buyers backed out.
In the meantime, the guy I traded with cleaned the jaguar and then called me telling me that it was worth thousands as it was a 1961 and said he wanted a lot of money for it so depression set in. Finally, he called me today with a great deal- give him back the tandem and $300! DONE DEAL!! The way I see it I can sell the typhoon that I stingraynized for about $200. The guy put the horn in the tank so that's $75 I don't need to spend. SO the whole bike after putting on new whitewall westwinds will have cost me- $100 originally, and $175 to buy back plus tires so $275. I am so happy to have it back. Only thing I have to do is clean the tar off the bottom bracket.
