That is a Sears Spyder nice find in copper tone. The seat and sissy bar are worth $400 all day. Early mid '60s by the seat. Huffy made it for Sears. Early wide bars are nice as well.

That rear tire is a killer knobby.

Nice score. Why can't I find deals like that!?

Nice find, congratulations. For sure worth putting some elbow grease into.

If it were mine (I wish), I’d treat everything metal to a nice Gibbs Penetrating Oil bath and leave it be as is. Beautiful. There’s plenty out there “restored” with repop decals etc. That one is fantastic as it sits. Congrats on the score.

sears spyder from the early 60s will clean up nice, clean grease and ride!

Yes, Sears Spyder, possibly 1967 by serial# but I am checking to verify. Clean it up, oil, grease and go. Any chrome can go in Oxalic Acid if you are going for shine.
Be careful with the chain guard in case it's screen printed, but you probably know that.
