I like it. Probably mid 1960's. Serial # on the left rear drop out. Post the 2 letter code, (first digits) of the serial, can then tell the year. Seat is not the original.

If I'm seeing that right as "BG" serial it is a Feb. '71 Stingray JR. in Campus green. Looks like someone changed out the bars and seat. I thought Jr. Stingrays came with front and rear S-7 looks like you have a S-2 rear with a red band hub so it is earlier then '71. The bars should be a set of the later version Jr. bars those you have are full size '69/70 bars. The changed to the more upright style in '70. You can still find "that style in early '70 not on a '71. looks like you have the correct '71 clear reflector pedals which were not around long. The Jr. model is the same short frame as the early
'63/64 and early '65 Stingrays. That style frame then became Jr. in late '65 it also continued as a Typhoon until the end in '82. You got some upgrades in my book with the bars and the S-2 rear. I know things are different in CA. so I'm only speaking for my area but $300 delivered is a bit much for my blood. Trying to get it back to original you will be upside down ,keeping it and building it as a fun bad ass Stingray rider will put your head in the clouds. I love all my Stingrays and as I always say "everyone should own a Stingray" isn't that right @Otto (Spelled Backwards) ? I have lots of parts for that bike once you decide what you wan to do with it reach out maybe we can make a deal. Good luck what ever you decide. I just built this '72 Typhoon as a Deluxe SR

Another thing with the Jr. frame is it requires the shorter 4.5 inch crank which you have, you can put the longer 5.5 but you will be dragging the pedals on every turn if you are not careful. The crank and stem will have dates stamped on them to see if they are original. Both of them could have a '70 stamp and still be original.
