hi from minnesota

[war-pony]

ive never built bikes before but i picked these up at a rummage sale

the guy asked how much i would offer and i had no clue what is a highly sought after bike, so i didnt know if he was looking for big money or not. but he said how about $3 for the purple, and $4 for the blue. so i got em both, hoping that they will be fun projects. after researching a little i found out the purple is a huffy rail, and the blue says huffy impala on it. they both have the holiday stickers on em. havent tried to find out the years yet though. after finding this forum some of the builds got me real excited. and i decided to join because i figured im gonna need to learn some things.

im glad i got a good price. i thought he was gonna be one of thgose people who wouldnt want to let his antiques go for a low price. i stopped by another place this week and his most expensive bike was 25, it was an el camino with tank and headlights. more than what i wanted to pay but, that bike was pretty cool, so ill probably go back.

Hey War-Pony, hello and welcome to RatRodBikes!
Sounds like you STOLE those bikes! Way to go! You might find a date stamped on the rear hub . . . my guess is around 1970. :wink:
fyi, your photos are VERY LARGE!
