Grey Ghost, real or Not?

[okozzy]

My son in law's grandfather's home is going to be put on the market, thus cleaning up before Estate Sale.
I found this bike in the garage, but the family will like to keep it & so, I volunteered to clean up bike for them.

My only question here is that I've always seen grey ghost as having gears and rim brakes, am I missing something here?

They did make a Coaster Brake model in 71 and this appears to be the real deal!

All the Krates came with the coaster option, at least for 1971. Looks like it's all there and complete.

Make sure you post a pic when it's cleaned up please, should look nice.

I cant make out the SN on the head tube but its there. Get a better shot of it and looks to be real.

"looks" like an _G so probably 1971 Coaster

speckled chrome, but not cancerous

Thank you all for your quick replies.
So a one year only bike, that's great news!

I will post pics as I go along.
Thanks again!
