Hello,
I have my father's childhood bike, a 1966 stingray fastback, and I'm trying to get a little more info about. My father told me everything was original on it, but I have some questions that I haven't been able to find answers on when doing searches. I know it's a 1966 model after looking up the serial number. It is blue with the gold glitter seat, but it does not say fastback on the chain guard like on all the other colors. Does this mean it's not the original chain guard or is this something unique to the 66 model/color combo? Is it not the fastback model. It also has the ram style handlebars, but I know they didn't come out until 67. I have attached a picture for reference.
The bike is really clean and it was definitely taken care of. We are trying to get a little info on the bike as we are trying to assess the value. We have had a couple low offers to purchase it to help pay for some of my fathers medical bills, but hate to give it away for some of the low offers we've received. The sentimental value is worth more than the low offers. Any help with the questions above and a rough value would be a great help. Thanks so much!
