AMC mysto-bike? Does anyone know anything about them????

[pjc5150]

No info online and seems like not much info from searches here.

Could it be the MISSING LINK?

Was it stolen from the ROSWELL UFO?

Buried with JIMMY HOFFA?

Was it used in the JFK CONSPIRACY?

or just another cheap-o department store brand?

Its a Murray built bike, most likely was badged for Sears. I've had a few of them.

yep....as you were responding I found something on oldroads about 'em. Apparently part of Murray's "space weight" series with the spaceliners and cosmic flyers & such.

Someone was asking about an AMC VIII and they said early to mid 60's....wonder if that means the VII is a few yrs earlier?

Is there a way to identify the year on these old Murrays????

I believe you have to look at the model number and compare it to catalogs. If you search around on this site you might find it, or maybe someone will post a link. I would say 60's as well.
