[buck hughes]

just picked this up- made one year only-not sure if I should fix it up or not.

I probably would not spend much money on it. Clean it and service it if you want to ride it--do nothing if you are just going to move it along. V/r Shawn

Worth about $250-$350 if cleaned up near mint. I would say $100-$175 as is. Will sell easier if the tires hold air and can be ridden. Paint looks like it will clean up really good. Rear fender and rims will too. I would replace the front fender, that rust is too deep. I have a front fender for this bike if you decide to fix it up.

It is a 1961 Bluegrass, built by Huffman Co.

I would be interested, as I was born in Louisville, and KY is where my family is from. However, I have too many projects at the moment.

I would sell for $75.00 if any one has an interest.-NEW PRICE! tires holding air!

That Belknap Silver Jet by Fltwd57 is a 1 year only color. Don't know that yours is 1 year only. The only features his bike has that your doesn't is more chrome, electric horn, and electric tail light.
