Was riding the Hornet around the hood last night and went by my neighbor‘s place and found him out with the family riding. I had never seen the black Klunker on the ground before as he always had it displayed up on the wall in front of the Impala. I posted this because of the head badge date.
3557, just days before Christmas 1977. The bike has been repainted with new graphics at some point and also seems to have the incorrect fork (and those fenders, 🙁), so not sure of the originality of the rest of it. I will get a better look at it soon as I’ll be tuning it up for him in a few days.

Schwinn never made a single speed KLUNKER in 77 or 78, so it is a most likely a Spitfire that has been redone as a KLUNKER imposter! There were only KLUNKER 5's in late 78 before the recall. BTW, I don't even see a serial number on the head tube? So it is possibly and earlier frame with a newer badge on it?

Ya, I'd be curious about the frame #'s, has a hand brake fork, Schwinn rims
?, S7 or S2 ?, would have a small front hub in 77, Klunker would be screened on not a decal or vinyl.

It does have S2 rims, didn’t look close at the hubs. I am pretty sure when I check the details it will turn out to be more of a FLUNKER! Still a nice bike, albeit misrepresented.
