It's a Murray built muscle bike of some variant with what looks like a Schwinn crank.

The fork is what is confusing, most Eliminators had a Rat trap fork. I've seen that fork before but cant remember where. This bike is for sale locally for 1 and a quarter. Is it worth it?

Didn't Murray build these for Western Auto and Sears with slightly different components?

Sears Screamer?

Pretty sure they did

It is a Murray Eliminator F Series frame with a Huffy Slingshot front fork. I believe the parts are mismatched on that one. The front fork is a good one for guys who collect Huffy bikes, that would be a good one to pick up!

And looking at it more, that is a Huffy sprocket too. If the front wheel is an Araya 16 x 1 3/8 wheel that is a great wheel for Huffy Slingshot bikes.
