We’ll want pictures to give an accurate number. The market has softened for these over the last 5-10 years. You could also do an eBay completed listing search to see final prices.

1980, built in the factory in Chicago Schwinn Cruiser 5. Thanks!

Other than the seat it looks original and all there. Low end $250, high end whatever you can squeeze someone to pay. I paid $150 for this in 2010. Missing the front and rear reflectors

It is worth what anyone is willing to pay for it!

It looks pretty weathered, and needs a complete overhaul/service. It's also missing some factory original parts, if that matters at all to you? It needs quite a few parts to get it back to an original rideable condition. A new gear cable will cost you $50+ right off the top, and even more for an original grey cable!

If I was a buyer, I wouldn't pay more than $150

I'd give $200 for that bike, being 5 speed with rear drum brake. The missing factory parts are incidental to me. That would be a great rider. Another way to look at it; there's at least $400 worth of parts on that bike.

And this is why the value of things is totally subjective!

Super cool bike worth the effort!... but only if you are keeping it for a rider.
