I'm guessing - a nicer Huffy, Roadmaster or Next with the single pull-clamp brakes and 3 pc crank. Looks like added BMX type handlebars and an aftermarket rack. Good looking bike with the anodized aluminum wheels and brake handles!
Its not a dept. store bike.Ask him to try to get a better photo.It could be any number of bikes put out in the 80's Looks like acs high-flange hubs and possibly a super maxxy crank set,dia compe brakes. Maybe an older Fuji. Nice bike
