1947 WZ507 Whizzer For Sale

-

Marc's Classic Chrome

Finally riding a big boys bike
I am selling my special 1947 WZ507 Schwinn Whizzer. This ia a great original bike that we got running this summer. It runs and drives as it should and is original paint except the tank. It is a lot of fun to ride, but not good for my back.

Because it is a special model I am looking for $3,750.

Please ask any and all questions.

Hey bob thanks for the comment. No it is special because it was a Schwinn built for a Whizzer. Very different than the shabby cut out ones. It also had a generator that is not shown.
 
so not to dispute anything but what makes a Whizzer WZ a Special?
I was trying to explain that — very early on Schwinn made special bikes FOR Whizzers. That was only till 1949 I believe. So that makes them more “rare” than a standard 1950s whizzzzz.

Gotcha.......there was also a model in the early 50s called a "Whizzer Special" I believe on DX frames...and with the bigger motors
 
Looks like you need two bolts for the rear motor mount and a stand clip. Just saying for safety because they are easy to get.
 
You have bikes that people turned into Whizzers, then you have the WZ507, which was a heavy duty dimpled Cantilever bike made by Schwinn to accept a Whizzer motor kit. Then you had the MP97 which was a heavy duty DX bike made by Schwinn to accept the Marman or Whizzer motor kits. Then there is the Whizzer Special which was also a heavy duty DX bike made by Schwinn, but this came out in the 50's, and has many differences. Your bike was specially made by Schwinn to accept a WZ kit, but it is a WZ507 model, and not a Whizzer Special. I hope this doesn't sound rude, it is still a very cool bike! If any of this info is wrong, please correct me. I am just hoping to clear this up for future members.
