Help me out

It looks like a 1950 Schwinn Panther....I'm not too sure. It looks to be mostly there too! And I'm thinking that's a cheap "house-paint" type job?
Paying $50 in Craigslist! Anyone know what it's worth as is? I'll probably end up selling it on here anyways, either whole or parted.

Easily worth it for parts.

That's what I'm thinking. There's also a prewar Hawthorne for sale by me for $35! It's not rideable, the fork is bent badly and it's crusty but $35! It's a skip tooth, selling the chain will make me break even!

You just answered your own question.
I'm sure that even the bottom half of that Delta light would do well.

Hey, you're from my neck of the woods 8) I've been looking at that Hawthorne since it's so cheap, but it's not exciting enough for a 3 hour round trip. Go get it!

Yeah I don't think I'd drive 3 hours either! It's more like 40 minutes from me 8) definitely worth it

I'd try to clean off the house paint and see what's underneath. It might surprise you, sometimes the re-paint protects and preserves the original.
