1977? Stingray find...

[redline1968]

Thought I'd post this find today I got it yesterday from original owner.. he says 78 but I'm thinking 77.. desirability? It's all original . I do have a can of sky blue touch up is it worth doing?

Very nice bike, the head badge stamping will tell you exactly when it was made. The last digit on the 4 digit stamping will be the year it looks like a 7 to me.

4 digit number on the Headbadge is more accurate

I wouldn't touch up the paint, that's for sure.

I agree completely, the paint is in great shape.

... They are getting there in desirability ... I found this one .. and after detailing it ... was sold for a decent price in one day ...
