I live for the CABE
Recent Estate Sale Find... "NEW" to Me !
1968 AMF Roadmaster Jet Pilot, Model K-1653, Flamboyant Avocado with Red, White and Chrome Trim. Serial No. K088745
This bicycle spent most of it's life in a dry basement attached to an exercise stand only to have been ridden outside a very few times. Registered bicycle license in 1972 and 1975.
The original owner told me everything is the way it was when purchased in 1968 for Christmas, Bonus is that it came with all the paperwork and 1968 AMF Roadmaster Bicycles Brochure.
The color is almost exact to Schwinn's Campus Green, Goodyear W/W Tires are dated 1968, Pedals appear to look as if no one ever touched them, Seat has no wear at all, Tank has never seen batteries for Light.
NOS ?
Truly a Time Capsule!

That looks mint! Interesting about the serial number. I've got a 1960 with a serial number that starts with "K", and that matches Phil Marshall's list, but the decals on your bike are later than 1960, 1968 sounds about right. AMF must have changed their system again sometime during the '60's.
 
Thanks for the positive comments !

There's not much information about the AMF Roadmaster Jet Pilot bicycles besides the brochures. Most of the Men's version Jet Pilot bicycles are Red or Black, haven't seen in another color, must be year specific. What was the last year for the Jet Pilot model ?

I wish I knew. I've picked up a few catalogs but I'm missing more than I have. AMF evidently didn't print catalogs in the numbers that Schwinn did, they only turn up every once in a while.

Can we get a better picture of the serial number? I blew the picture up as much as I could, and I'm wondering if the "K" is actually an "R", which would make more sense.

I visually checked the serial number and it is a "K" it's also written on the pamplet and warranty card too. I'm also wondering if this is the last year of the "Jet Pilot' as I can not find any later info. ?

I think the latest catalog I have is 1967, but I'll check it this evening.
