Check out this minty 66 coppertone De Luxe

[Brutuskend]

This older gent brought this in for me to get it up and running again so his grand kids could ride it.
I am obviously going to try and talk him out of THAT! I don't think I have seen a 66 this nice since...66!

That thing is unreal!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mr. Monkeyarms]

He obviously put some miles on it by looking at the worn original tires and kept it that nice over the years? Awesome!!!

Hopefully his grandkids will have the same respect with it.
Man that's a beautiful bike.

Look so brand new!

What do you suppose this thing would be worth on the open market. So I can tell him what he's risking by letting the next generation ride it.
Maybe I can either get him to sell it, or put it back up in the attic where he found it!!

 

[GTs58]

I'll give him $500 + shipping. Found nothing to compare it to on eBay.

Offer him multiple new bikes for the grand kids in trade !

Good intentions for the grandkids, but that would be a HUGE mistake.
The suggestion above, (buy them multiple kids bikes) to make them happy.

It would be a shame to give a 53 year old classic Stingray to kids that wouldn’t even use the kick stand.

Exactly. They are only in this kind of condition once. Once they are dinged there is no going back.

I don't think many of todays kids know what a kick stand is.
