WTB: Shelby Airflow Pre1940, Nosed

[Metalbender]

Want to Buy: Pre 1940 Shelby Airflow, Men's Nosed. Repop tank is okay, needs to be a complete bike as I don't own any of this model. I plan to build this bike to RIDE AND RIDE A LOT. No frauds, cons, or games please. Please call or email with a description and price. [email protected] 515-231-2380

You want the one with the lightning dart tank? Right? Or a No-Nose bike?? Post a picture.

Correct, I'm looking for the lighting dart tank nosed model.

That would be a Speedline model like the first one, the second is my no-nose, and the third pic is my boys and girls Speedlines together. v/r Shawn

Thankyou for the Info.

Thank you Freqman1 for the information. I'm not new to bikes but I'm pretty new to the Airflows. Pool boy gave me a call this morning and clarified a few things and offered a bike for sale. I'm pretty much a Cleveland Welding 1940's and 50's person with a few Schwinn pre-war but mostly post war ballooners. Throw in a couple nice Monarks and others for variety and you've got me covered. One early Schwinn Jaguar but other then that not a middleweight person. I'm a rider, love to ride. I also have late model cruisers with Nexus because I get lazy. I'm looking to put together an Airflow to ride so correctness is not the greatest issue, finished beauty is. I keep it fun.

I have one that needs a tank. Other than that the bike is fully restored. It will have a tank soon and will be for sale when I get the tank in it. Price will be around 5k though. Just to warn you.

I ride all my bikes and just had the Speedline out Saturday for about six miles. I took the no-nose out to a Harley/car show and it was blowing people away. The guy with the Lambo wasn't getting as much action as the Shelby! I don't care how nice or rare it is if I can't ride it I don't want it. That's what they were made for right? v/r Shawn

It is about the ride

Freqman1, I think too many people forget why they bought and fixed that first bike. As a kid I rode my bike everywhere...it was freedom (fishing, baseball, and working).

 

[Freqman1]

I'm with ya! Good luck in your search. These can be kinda costly but well worth the price of admission in my book. v/r Shawn

i see building mine will likely cost a kings ransom
