Let’s see those original paint J33s

[NickM]

Just looking to start a post for original paint j33s. These are definitely my all time favorite stingrays

I know super deluxes have always been popular, but in my opinion true original j33s are harder to come by

Lol, mark I know you got something tucked away over there

Nick your right they are tough to find. The only 2 I ever had in 35 years of this are 2 I bought from Joe Olimpio ( about 1995 ) in New Hampshire. Both violet, 1 real nice original and 1 restored. Unfortunately still looking for their pictures.

Nick,
I would agree, the J33 is a rare Stingray, especially in its “Factory Paint”.
Patina, scratches or a rub is OK with me as long as it’s not a repaint.
Period correct decals or stickers are one of my Favorites on these old bikes.

You have a cool J33

The closest I’ve come to a nice one is in the Sales Brochure.

Thanks for sharing, Chris.

Maybe we should change the title ?

Technically? Original paint. I had an original pint can of the Schwinn lime and it covered the whole frame and guard.
The only Stingray I have ever restored and my favorite of the Stingrays! I was blown away that the paint was useable after umpteen years.
Fully restored Hi loop bike with as much of the correct parts as I could find. Joe in Cleveland did the seat restoration
top notch! Miss that little bike!

pix of the project now long gone.

Here's one I got a while back - still wearing the remainder of its original paint. I have not had it out in quite some time, but I rode it a bit when I first got it.

PS: Not as pretty as Bob's, but its still a nice one!!
