Very nice Panther Oskian! I was referring to the Colson and the bikes 49autocyledeluxe was talking about.

HA! got one. .. I feel like a fisherman that finally caught a fish.. the Panther was the second "low price" Springer-forebrake Schwinn I saw and missed.

I started looking at Craigslist several times throughout the day and evening and got this gem:

Forebrake .... Springer.... which I later noticed was a locking springer.... "The World" badge '' ... incorrect bolt on chainguard .. EXTRA incorrect goose neck .. extra cool AS pedals, my new favorite pedals.

going to go shrink some more pics...

Nice score! I posted this here earlier hoping you would see it, but it sounds like you found it on CL. Nice bike, looking forward to seeing the progress on it!

Are those blackout pedals or did someone shoot the whole thing in black at some point?

this was the "Smokey and the Bandit" special addition bike. notice the black and gold like Burt Reynolds Trans Am? I'm sure they were painted black by the owner, they have gold on them as well.
