I have this 1981 Cruiser with a mismatched set of HD 12 gauge S-2 wheels with new tires. This has fairly decent paint and I have all the parts even the reflector set. I have it for sale on facebook marketplace and on the ebays.

It seems like a find one cruiser a year, this one was at an estate sale pretty close to me, I bought it right for sure. June 24, 1980 if I am reading the badge correctly. It is going to clean up great, I pretty much just see one scratch on it, near the seat post clamp. It also has a little wear to the down tube decal. Someone preserved the chrome with chrome polish. The front fender has a chunk of chrome missing, I wonder if it would be a crime to lose the fenders. It has a Goshe, Indiana license sticker. Unfortunately it needs tires, I think it's worth the cost to find correct tires, if anyone has any for sale, let me know.

Jammer Nice Find! ... Those gumwall Schwinn Studded Balloon tires are a hard find! ... You would have an easier time finding White Wall SSB tires. Fenders don't do that bicycle justice! ... Gotta go! ... That bike will clean-up nice!
Looks like the spoke protector may have been replaced with a later style?
Frame date of June 1980 are close to badge date of June 1980.

You can lose the fenders! They look like dannuus add on walds. Schwinn fenders would have bolted to the holes behind the derailleur instead of on the axle. Gum wall originals are gonna be a tricky find. I've been happy with the Duro look-alikes! Nice find!
 
I couldn't even be at the sale, I was out of town. My 82 year old Dad loves going to sales for me, he got there early enough to be the first in line. I gave him some cash for the bike, he came home with the bike for me, and most of the cash. Insert smiley face here.
