AMF Shelby Flyer - Looking for information / sell

[Steffen33]

Hi, I'm new to this forum. While cleaning out my parents shed, I convinced them to get rid of heaps of stuff, junk, and this bike. I'm looking for more information regarding the approximate year, and value of this bike. Is it worth much? Is it incredibly common? Can it be restored easily? I'm probably going to sell via local Craigslist unless I get much interest on this forum.

- AMF Shelby Flyer
- Red
- Needs some TLC and work
- Late 1950's??

Any information would be great. Thanks in advance.

Not to disappoint you, but for a late post war bike it is in rough condition and not very desirable. I’m going to say $100. Or less. My opinion of course!

That's not really disappointing. I wasn't really expecting much. Unless I hear otherwise from this forum, I'll probably post locally for $75 - $100. Thanks for your input!

Just out of curiosity, could you check the serial number on this bike? If it's like late 50's -early '60's Roadmasters it's on the left hand drop out, above the rear axle nut, and it should start with a letter ("H" for 1958, "J" 1959, "K" 1960 etc.) AMF owned both brands by this time, and I wonder if there were any real differences. I'm guessing not.
