Worth it or not?

Finally riding a big boys bike
This bike has been sitting in my neighbors yard for sale for a couple weeks now. Long story short I don’t talk to the guy so I haven’t asked him about it. I ride by it daily and it’s getting the best of me. I might swallow my pride and ask what he wants for it. Before I do that does anybody think it is worth asking? I believe it’s a 61.Not sure the model. Are the springer forks worth anything, or is it worth restoring? I think it’s a cool looking bike but not even sure if the parts needed are readily available. I’m pretty new at this so any input would be appreciated.

If you like it and can get it cheap then go for it. It would make a cool little rider project. There are tons of parts readily available either here or on eBay. Welcome to the CABE!
 
Like everybody has said it all depends on the price. Around here where I live that would not last but a couple or three days and would be bought up.
 
Offer him a $20 bill. It is just sittin' there. Not a rare or very pricey bike. Would make a fun project by adding a tank and a 3 speed or seven speed gear hub wheel set. Worth saving if you can get it cheap.
 
That is a 1962 Corvette 5 speed frame! Frame alone is worth around 80-100 bucks on eBay.

:p Edit.. It's a 61 model. I thought I saw the 62 style cable guides but the picture sucks and I didn't scroll down to the last picture before I posted.
