1946/7 Rollfast Whizzer Score! Traded for a pair of beauties!

[kingfish254]

Scored a 1946/7 Rollfast Whizzer today!!!! The one that almost got away!
Rolled up on it at a yard sale with a SOLD sign. Got the number of the buyer and a couple of hours later it was mine. It even has the original bill of sale, an original photo, an original engine manual, and a 1949 Popular Science magazine and ad.

It's been a depressing, fun, and exciting morning all in one.

What an ending to the day too. Check out my Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets beating the Seminoles during homecoming in one of the most awesome endings ever in football!!!!

Nice find "King of all things Yard Sale". I'm with ya, I'm a yard sale addict since I was a kid. I bought a penny collection from 1909 thru the 70's when I was a kid for $4.75.! Still have it...

It last ran two years ago, then oil and gas was drained and it sat in the garage

TRADE PENDING
Delivering the Whizzer a couple of hours away Saturday, checking out some cool old rides and coming back with a cool trade. I'll update after the trade.

1951 Shelby Flyer

Congrats. That was a very cool trade. Two happy parties, no doubt. I typically prefer mod over stock, but these are two amazing bikes. All original?

Both of us walked away happy with this trade.
The Whizzer went into the right hands. Check out his other motored toys.
