King Kat survivor

[mrg]

This has been hanging in my carport for 20+ yrs and hanging in my garage at my old house before that, took it down and aired the tires, just got to find the pedals, was going to shoot the fender black but noticed some shadows of graphics under the silver ( anyone recognize what's under the silver ), think the fender and a tank I had on it for a while ( It's in the garage somewhere ) came on another model Murry I had that didn't have that killer springer!, so maybe some graphics under the silver on the tank too, I put the tank and Marx motor on it but hell I don't remember what exactly I did 25-30 yrs ago. Should klean ( Ha ) pretty good except some of the chrome. Not sure what I'm going to do but maybe ride this survivor!

The fender graphics are from the Sears Free Spirit version of that chopper. It had red fenders with funky 70's circle stickers on it. I bet the tank has the same graphics.

Hey Mark, This is one of a kind find you've had a lot of years, about time you do something with this WAY COOOL old King Kat bike.. Get out the steel wool and make it PRETTY.. Good find. Razin...

Do you know what they are worth generally? I can get a VERY clean example for $500 but it is missing the chain guard. Is that too much or worth it?

 

[mrg]

Not up on current prices but probably a good price, seen them sell for alot more in the past and been offered alot more than that for mine lately but missing that guard with the KK name probably a big thing but I think someone is making the stickers and maybe that guard came on others, haven't spent much time on mine but seems like it will clean up. Good Luck
