Screamers rock!
 
Fully restored with the butterfly bars they can get up to $800 (Ebay) I think. I have the 3-speed. In the condition of the pic you posted I wouldn't think much. If you have one of the mag wheel ones, the price goes up!!!!

Mine as of 5 min ago!

The screamer frame for 68 is the same as the eliminator type frame. In 69 they raised the back of the screamer frame so it slanted down to the front. This 69 and up frame was only used on screamers.
 
Occurred to me i never posted the restored pics of this bike on RRB!!! here it is... keeping the frame original paint since its one of only two known to exist right now. its fun to lay patches with!!

That turned out sweet!!
 
Very cool! Came out great. Can I get your opinion on the rat trap fork and the springer sissy? I'm thinking of getting a springer sissy for my daughter's 20" muscle bike, and I'm thinking of doing a rat trap on our 24" Sears Spyder. I'd like to know how they feel/ride.

It really does not move unless you hit a big bump or curb and then its still stiff (the springer),, as for the springer sissy it does bounce a bit and bottom out but i'm 180lbs, so guessing your daughter is maybe 9 to 12yo oe so she should like the springer sissy, and the front end will feel like a ridged one for the most part.
