Sorry fellas, long ways to go before this one’s pretty again. But still, it IS a B.B... Ad reads:
Incredible Recent Barn Find. This survivor is as solid as a rock. I have uploaded many pictures to show the condition and the repairs that were made long ago to preserve the bike in it’s stellar structural condition. What is missing: rear rack, both fenders, tank lid, lights, horn, buttons, original grips and front wheel. The original rear wheel comes with the bike and as you see it is in very good condition. You will note that I have put mountain bike wheels on the bike just to show it. I am not all that knowledgeable about the mechanics nor speak the lingo but what you see in the pictures is a true representation of this rare bike. I’m willing to deliver the bike within a reasonable distance or meet halfway if the distance is extraordinarily far away. I’m retired so I do have the time to travel to your preferred destination

Gymmanager: I agree with Bikewhorder as it is hard to tell if that is a leaf spring seat. Can you please verify.

I certainly admire the Bluebird for it's artistic lines and unique design, but these are quickly becoming the Sting-Ray of balloon tire bikes. Common, and expensive. Rather have a Super Streamline or something less-seen.

What is worse, this thing needs a total restoration. I see pits in the frame.

Jeez these things are coming out of the woodwork now. Guess they're more common than we thought.
$5k starting bid for basically a frame, fork, rear wheel and possibly correct seat seems insane.
The BIN price is definitely insane.

Doesn't look like it.
