1960 Schwinn Corvette

[Cranky Chain Cycles]

My birthday is coming up and I'm strongly considering a 6+ hour drive to pick up this beauty. What would you offer? The seller wants $220, however Corvettes in good condition are going for around $300 and as high as $1,500. It doesn't sound like the seller knows much about it.

lower the better.. i would tell him $150.00 and you'll pick it up.

clean it up as is and ride it...

That is a long drive. Is the bike a coaster or 2 speed? Looks like a 61 model to me with a possible late 1960 SN.

As much as I like it it’s not worth the drive and cost. If it was something like a Jaguar or Phantom I would be more motivated.

I agree with the others. That bike has potential, but at $220.00 it's going to take a lot of work just to break even. You can spend a little more money and find one in much better condition.

The seller dropped it to $150. It’s still a wee bit high considering its condition. At $100 I’d give it some extra thought. The nice thing is I have flight benefits so I can fly out and rent a car on the way back. I can be there and done in under half a day.

6 hours one way? How about this.... If you and a buddy just want to make a two day road trip. You know... hit the back roads ( interstates to me are boring and for the mindless ), see different stuff, hangout with your bud, split the driving, go get the bike , later on find a hotel and a bar, have a few. And at the end of your journey you've brought home a Corvette and had a good time on your adventure as well. Then yeah why not .Live a little ! Its your birthday, for gosh sakes!! But first..Get him to sell for $150

Personally I wouldn't drive 6 minutes to pick that up.

I would probably do 6 minutes if it wasn't in heavy traffic and the price was $100 max.
