Look Ma, No Hands!
I am considering buying this bike up in Canada but unfortunately I can’t see it in person and have some concerns of flaws vs. asking price. Would appreciate any feedback. Seller is willing to ship.

First concern. No chain guard. I am assuming this is a standard Stingray for the year (no fenders, single red band Bendix rear hub) and when chain guards pop up on eBay they are often $200 USD + I can post a wanted ad on The Cabe to see if someone has the appropriate missing guard at a more reasonable price of course but if anyone has one and sees this, feel free to send PM.
The seat is shot but has the Stingray plaque on the back still. Needs recovering or a swap with a better seat.
Lastly the rear slik. No cracks, so I am concerned it is a repop. Seller can’t confirm. Obviously the rear wheel has been off at some point as the coaster brake is mounted to the wrong bar. I don’t mind a repop for a bike in this condition but a consideration vs. value all the same.
Seller is asking approx. $380 USD + shipping which would probably cost approx. $100 USD
Any thoughts and feedback for this bike in that price range would be appreciated as noted.
