1966 Panther barn find

[schwinnguyinohio]

Found this February 66 Panther today literally in a horse barn , rough to look at but the paint on the frame is nice underneath the grime . Plan on cleaning and swapping a few of the bad rusty parts out ., or sometimes I like Taking one I don't have much in and just using all the original parts no matter how well they clean up . I think it should look decent and be a good rider .

Is this a 24 or 26 inch wheeler? Looks good to me. Be sure to post some pics when its cleaned up. It should look good once all the horse crap is gone!!

Great find! In a literal horse barn nonetheless. Maybe the horse ate the chain . I love coppertone middleweights.

Do you have a pic of the serial number? Could this be my birthday bike?

Schwinns usually surprise people at how well they clean up.They can look nasty and turn out really nice.Good luck with the project !
