My Murray catalog reference material starts in '68, but it sure looks legit to me.

I do know that the pedals are incorrect though.It didn't have any when I got it.From some very grainy copies of a 65 Murray add I think it is suppose to have white diamond block pedals.The grips I am unsure of,but need a replacement set anyway.I am mainly curious about the gooseneck(stem).It kinda resembles a schwinn(forged).I believe the tires and innertubes are the original date coded items that came on the bike when new.Kenny.

those early pedals must have been really cheap, mine on my early murray were also gone and replaced with schwinn pedals at sometime..my bike has the typical wald goose neck...
