I imagine the bike has never been serviced in it's entire life so you're looking at 54yo grease in the bearings, who knows what the brake disks (if it's a Bendix or ND) look like. That being the case, you're looking at $75 bucks, maybe $100 if the tires aren't split and the tubes hold air.

Looks to be missing the tank. I'm saying $50 tops.

not somehing I was interested in. but it is listed for $250 local. in their ad they say it is valued at $450- 500. knew that was bogus. sometimes I just like to see how long these stay for sale.LOL

When it was new it was an economical chain store girls bicycle from the hot rod/space bike era where quality was going downhill fast. A boys model of that bicycle in similar condition wouldn't draw $450-500 bucks. The seller is apparently inflicted with American Pickers disease where people think just because it's old it's worth a small fortune. It isn't.

If someone came up to me and offered $500 cash for my men’s Huffman Firestone 500 II, I would take it and run! Yeah, this seller is on some F.I.N.E drugs!!

just wander how these people come up with these "values".

Seller: I have an old antique book for sale!
Book dealer: What sort of book is it?
Seller: it’s really old, it’s a bible from 1856!
Book dealer: Yawns....your the third one today!
