Original green phantom

[Freqman1]

Might want to open up the tank, headlight cover, and taillight to make sure there aren't any old batteries in it and to determine the condition of the electrics. V/r Shawn

Wes can make you a new key. The key only comes out if it's locked with the wheel turned to the far right. Wes can possibly tell you the easiest way to remove the broken off key.

I would just do some cleaning.....no touch ups, no steel wool.....If it was mine, because it has the fore brake I would probably be comfortable in the $1,200 range + - a tad

P.S. I would absolutely love to have that 51 Detroit license on it should you want to part with it.

What would you pay for the plate

THAT IS CORRECT, BUT DON'T ATTEMPT TO DRILL OR PRY THE KEY OUT.
YOU CAN DO MORE DAMAGE THAN GOOD.

IF YOU OR YOUR BUYER WANT A SMOOTH BRASS KEY CUT TO FIT THE CYCLE LOCK
OR THE BROKEN KEY REMOVED OR LOCK REPAIR, I CAN HELP!

If it were mine,the first thing I would do is toss that ugly basket.don't use any harsh stuff on it.

I bought an original "green" phantom ($1,500)
The owner repainted the green, replaced
the tires. He did a good job.

But if I had to do it again, I would have chosen your phantom "as is" and be very happy knowing that this is an untouched original
with all the imperfections.
Don't mess with steel wool.
Dust it off & lubricate the parts as needed .

Thought about it but it's been on the bike for 60+ years figured it should stay on it for how ever long I own it

If you have any plan to sell it, take the basket off, if the bike falls over it could be significantly damaged by the basket. And CAREFULLY check the light and tank for batteries and then stop messing with it...otherwise, you are going to throw $100 bills away...as far as worth, I bought one for 800, would have rather bought yours for 1200 and it could go for up to 1500 or more but that is if you leave it alone...and it is not exactly the prime time to sell (end of summer-school bills) so price may not reach the peak...

The license plate should stay with the bike. Basket doesn't really matter.
