‘59? Olson Air Scout Worth Getting?

[TIMBER RIDGE KUSTOMS]

Found a nice tank bike ive never come across before for a good deal I think. Looks to be a 1959 Olson Air Scout. It’s a 26 incher and looks all original save the rear rack. Very solid. Any thoughts on its value in good shape? The guy has ridden it lately so not a scrap pile find. Thanks for any input guys!!!

100% worth getting buddy. Built in the same style as a Colson Commander. Very awesome

What would you think it’d be worth cleaned up new tires etc ?

Not sure the value in your area. In LA at least $200 for a middleweight. Nice bike

I would grab it for as little as possible and not worry about what its worth...better act quick though, as the cat is out of the bag.
