Check out this minty 66 coppertone De Luxe

If he is willing to let the grand kids ride it, I am sure you could make him happy with some new bikes for them.

Imagine what feelings would arise inside if you witnessed this bike being “ghost ridden” ?

Looking at these photos, I must say that old coppertone Stingray sitting in a bike shop is gorgeous with those wide bars and pointed glitter seat.

No wonder I love these bikes.
Looks like a gold nugget.

The bright side,
First, these kids will say it’s way too heavy.
Second, they would rather be on their smart phones playing games.

The bad side,
Texting while riding the Ray.

I just got off of the phone with the owner.
I think I talked him out of letting the grand kids trash this!!

That's good news but I also hope you talked him into selling it to you

Brutuskend,

Would it be possible to take a couple clear photos of that Black Decal / Sticker on the seat post tube?
Those are cool.

Thanks, Chris

I'll see what I can do.
Took a few pics. I'll upload them when I get home.
BTW that is a shop sticker from our Eugene store (Hutch's) where he bought it in '66
