huffy rail slingshot?

[hstavn]

picking up this bike on saterday. i think its a huffy rail slingshot, but im not sure. any help would be greatly appreciated. how much should this bike cost?

 

[Markm]

love those long 20"s

 

[scrumblero]

definitely Huffy... :roll:

 

[hstavn]

what is a far price to pay for this bike?

 

[Jaxon]

The bike is worth about 100 dollars or so. That sissybar is a rare bar. If you want to sell the sissybar seperate you should do good. 50 to 100 the way it sits......Jaxon... Sorry forgot it is a Huffy Rail 69 or earlier

It's a Rail, not a sling shot. the sling shots have a 16" front wheel..that one is to far gone & missing to many parts to have much collector value. but would make a great Rat project!..

Thanks guys the guy just texted me back and wants 50 for it. I am going to buy it and rat it out. Your help is apreciated.

that must be either 1967 or 66 because of the shifter. it looks like it was a rare bronze rail because of the color of the grips. :mrgreen:

The serial number is 1w122471 that number is on the bottom bracket. It does look bronze in color.

It looks like that may be a Schwinn S2 wheel on the back. if it cleans up you may get your money back just for that!

 

[hstavn]

It is an s2 has a little rust on it but it should clean up

 

[hstavn]

What does the w in the serial number mean

 

[Murray-Eliminator]

It may have been sold through a department store so would have different serial #'s.. is there a # on the rear dropout?.

 

[Slingshot Dude]

that headbadge almost looks grants! :shock:

 

[hstavn]

there is no a on the rear dropout. there is an upside down 2020v above the serial number

 

[Slingshot Dude]

if u ever consider selling the sissy bar or the frame, lmk. :mrgreen:

 

[hstavn]

the sissy bar and rear rim are already sold. i may consider selling the frame. i will have to think about it.
