16" 1964 Stingray Deluxe

[Confused kid]

Next question is before I list on ebay do I clean it up or leave the cobwebs and grime for nostalgia?

The date associated with the serial number is not a build date. That's the date the number was stamped on the frames component and the frame was built later.

Can you post a pic of the serial number? I'm no Ray expert but it seems like something is off here. V/r Shawn

I feel a bit off posting a serial number on the internet what part seems off . I pulled the bar off and came up with a build date of December 1964 out of Chicago

Personally I've never understood the logic of not wanting to post a serial number. I post serials all the time. This isn't like a VIN on a car. Sissy bar and seat just didn't look typical '64 to me. I'm used to seeing the flatter seat and squared off bar on a '64. V/r Shawn

I cannot say this bike is all original this is just the way I got it. to me that handlebar clamps look off or bent down possibly. This Sissy bar also has a weird indentation that I have not seen on the other stingrays so it may have some other parts put on. From the catalog I have a pretty good indication of the part numbers that should be on here and may even disassemble this bike in order to get a better idea of what it's worth. Any info or pix you have would help in this

Ok if you had to list it what would be your bottom price ? I also like the idea of lettng the next guy clean it and rum off what' left of the decals seems the frame alone is worth 500 or so ... so cofusing with bikes. That' why I came to this sight... all info no bs ... I know more now then I had in weeks of seaching the net and eBay



You guys even showed me e ay stuff o didn't see !!!

 

[Confused kid]

If one of you guys want this bike let me know before I list it !!
