To me? ....NO. Maybe those are two rare signed first edition books in the rack.
It would be a personal decision to purchase that for $1000.00

Closer inspection may reveal that it was not born a white Corvette

Ad says all original parts, but nothing about the paint. Although it could have been white originally.

I was thinking the same thing. If it was a nice original paint bike, it might be worth it. But I'd rather spend the money on a nice OG prewar ballooner.

It'll sell for more than that on ebay if it's original. The seat tube decal looks yellowed, so looks og to me. Chainguard decal was repopped, so that could have been redone....would like to see pics of the top tube decals.

I think that would be a stretch. Color? Original Really? however some people will step up for something that they want/like.

As a novice, the thing I noticed for all original is the speedometer only has 3/10's of a mile. Must of been bought and stored.

To me it looks like a repaint. For one the paint is too shiny, Schwinn white paint never held up that good. Also the chips in the paint on top of the chain guard, original paint never chip that way, in flakes. My 2 cents, prove me wrong.
