1967 Coppertone 3speed!

[dumpster_diver]

Found this in a barn in Plains, Georgia! It has some minty paint under the 12 years of dust! Also sports a set of Androck Newspaper Baskets and Carlisle Slik w/o cracks! It is missing the original bars but overall it is worth it!

 

[Wildcat]

Great bike! The paint looks near perfect under the dust. The handlebars look like stingray bars. That's a nice stick shift, but I would wear a cup before riding.

TOO SWEET !!!

WOW. That should clean up perfectly. Looks like the chainguard was cut to fit the tire.

 

[schwinnmesa]

Awesome...

 

[GTCOMA]

That thing is going to look nice!

 

[Rat Rod]

I bet he won't have it long enough to clean it. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Gives us all hope of that infamous Stingray find......Lucky!!!

 

[Markm]

Nice find....woulda liked to have seen the look on your face :shock:

 

[ratina]

Yeah why is the guard cut? Sweet find tho, cant wait to see it cleaned up. Make sure your careful around the chainguard screen

 

[Unchained]

Awesome find! Very classic. :mrgreen: Looks mint under the dust. The straws on the spokes are a neat touch. :wink:

just a guess, but with the rear baskets on, id say it pushes the 3 speed linkage over some, in turn they probably bent the chainguard in too to prevent snags and consequently, the guard rubbed the tire resulting in the chainguard being altered to fit.

am i full of BS or what :lol:

 

[Bicyclerick]

Nice find. I need to get my 66 coppertone out of storage and post sone pics.

 

[jaydub]

Complete with straws... :lol: Now thats a Sweet find... :wink:

 

[dumpster_diver]

the chainguard is not cut, it is just bent downward. thanks! i was floored when i saw it but i played it cool and hymned and hawd about what to offer. finally i offered $25, she said "hell yeah, i'll even pull it out of the shed and bring it to your car!" She was like.....'its an orange color' and I am looking at it, 'yeah..... orange.... '

That is the buy of the week if not the year at that price. Good to know there are some people that havent' found the internet yet. :mrgreen:

 

[ratina]

You definitely stole that one, glad to hear the guard is only bent, not cut. Now get cleaning!! 8)

OH MY GOD! That is one lucky find.

I had to take a 300 mile trip to pick up this one...

(I'll quadruple your money on it....) I know you know what it's worth...

Shame about the chainguard but what a find. Orange huh. :shock:

Nice! Yeah orange.... I had that load in the car in less than a minute. It's funny, They run a business in Plains and do business on ebay. I am so happy with this score. It will be stored next to the '64 Coppertone Stingray and my Patriotic Repop Stingray.
