Shelby assistance wanted

[rusty.kirkpatrick]

I’m over in Texas with the family for the Round Top antique show, hoping to find bike stuff and came across this old Shelby. Good bit wrong with it, but I was determined to find SOMETHING and Pickens are slim on bike stuff. He was asking pretty high for it, so we haggled a bit and he wouldn’t go lower than 325$. Still seemed high, so told him I’d think about it. Had ladies rear fender, crappy pedals and grips, and painted black. Still have a lot to see since we just got here today, so looking for opinions on year and worth. Thank so in advance.

Also saw this ladies Emblem but didn't get a price. That's all I got so far, lol.

The Emblem (including badge) looks attractive for perhaps swapping parts with a men’s model. Cool sand-dollar sprocket, (even if its a 22 tooth).
The Shelby looks good - maybe the black paint preserved the steel underneath. It might not be a fair comparison, but a NOS tank goes for ~$100; racks maybe ~$80; truss forks maybe ~$80; old seats ~$100+.
I don’t get the grips and pedals part.

I agree the Shelby moto is nice! Stem/bars/grips/pedals/fender not right, but the bike is mostly there. 1934-36? Not really a bad price imo.

I think you should have grabbed the boys bike.Low price,good parts or keep as a rider.
