Looking for help on value of my 59 white corvette

[schwinnguyinohio]

Looking to see what some of the Schwinn middle weight guys think value might be on my 59 single speed white corvette. I gave it a gentle clean up , chrome is decent I swapped out the crank with better chrome but kept the 59 dated one . I believe it came as a single speed since front fork is not drilled .I added some westwinds also . Not many to compare prices with so I value other opinions.

Yea this being a white 59 non 3 speed I really have no idea but my very uneducated guess would be 400-500 but that's totally a guess

I agree with your estimate. If it was a 2 or 3 speed,add a bit more. Had a headlight add more.

I couldn’t give mine away for 125.00 and it had a springer...lol.. but possibly some one who knows nothing might pony up..never know.. :0

I sold mine, 100 percent original,for good money to someone who knows quite a bit. The fact that yours had a Springer really hurt the value. Any decal or paint damage also kills the value. There are probably fewer of these than Bluebirds or some other big money bikes. The fact that they're postwar and middleweights doesn't help value,but still pretty uncommon in the collector circles.

Is it true that less than 20 are known to exist?
