Let’s see some late 70’s/early 80’s Cruisers and Spitfires

-
This one (1977, per listing) came up on a site here. I see that it has a fender on it and from what I know, Spitfires never came with a fender from the factory, though it could have been added at the dealer or elsewhere. It also looks to be in exceptionally nice condition for an “original”. Thoughts?

The Spitfire 5 did not come out until the 79 model year so it is not a 77. That can be confirmed with the head badge date code. And the fenders did not come on the bikes from the factory, just dealer ad-ons.
 
I picked up this deluxe cruiser this weekend. The tires are shot, the seat needs recover, but the paint and chrome should clean up quite well and it looks mostly original. The guy I bought it from said it was an 80. I don’t know that this is a keeper for me, but it’ll be fun to clean up and cruise for a while.
