One of my favorite frames. I love the location of the seat post, sitting behind the "Y" on the top frame bars. An awesome and sleek design by Shelby who built this model for the Western Auto Stores.

This bike is a second of the same model in my collection. I restored one earlier this year from complete rust, which is the lone pic of the deep maroon bike.

This one I picked from a friend in Ohio last week. Thanks Clay.

The red one has had some repainting attempts to it. Unfortunately does have aftermarket fenders but does have a nice Morrow Hub, Swiss cheese sprocket, good chrome, nice rear drop stand, good rack, good truss rods, and nice long springer seat.

I have a Shelby chain guard just like what it came out with to add to it.

First pic is of my first bike of this model.

Thanks
My paint/body man probably had atleast 80 hours in the restored deep maroon one. With all the rust present; primer, block, sand; primer, block, sand was the the only ticket. He does do great work. Thanks Keith
