Cruisin' on my Bluebird
1978 Schwinn Stingray Hornet W/Tank Value?
I grabbed this off Craig's list today for what I figured was a good score. But, soon my better half will be home and I'll be faced with the normal doom and gloom answering the question: "What's it worth?" followed with: "When you sell it, then I'll like it." I found one on e-bay inside the completed listings link, just a few minutes ago, in less condition than this. small tears on back of seat, more rust etc. albeit I think its tank might be brighter. for: for "What?" "$550 buy it now?, and somebody did?" Only one in all of the bay and it sold for $550? While searching; apparently, it was 1 year only, and geez, there's no parts for them anywhere. Don't really need any except they came with a round plate, "Schwinn competition number plate" that said "Hornet". E-bay bike didn't have it either.
Serial number date code: July 1978
So any realistic help in assessing value would be a appreciated. photos from the Craig's list ad:
