Anybody out there has information on a 1979 Schwinn klunker brochure, was it a limited run? What came on the bike and colors any information appreciated especially the stickers how do tell if they are original example bike gets painted they apply the sticker and clear it? Thanks any information appreciated.
 
No such animal in the catalogs. The Klunker name was short lived due to a name infringement so the bike was later called the Spitfire 5 in 1979 and then in 1980 It was the Cruiser. I believe the Klunker was produced in 1978 for a very short time after another name infringement on this model when Schwinn first named the bike California Cruiser. Pretty sure the Klunker came in red and black only and the chain guard markings were screened on, no decal or clear coats.

Here's a thread on these bikes. https://thecabe.com/forum/threads/show-us-your-klunker-5-spitfire-5-orcruiser-5.105050/
 
I have one in used shape.lol. I dont think they were around long enough or very many made to have someone make decals.Never heard of a blue one.Do you have pics ?......

You should move this out of the for sale section but anyway badge is 127th day of 72, if that's off a OG blue bike it probably was a Typhoon originally, frame # would help and sorry but blue bike above is a Spitfire with a Klunker decal!
