I'd and value please? Old? Stingray looking boys bike

[akhenaten]

Just bought this pea green boys stingray looking bike.
Looks original to me (?). The metal flake on the seat is smoked.
The seat says messinger, and the coaster arm says "favorit" in cursive).
Paid $30, frame is solid and entire bike seems straight, clean and in good shape.

Any ID this thing? Value would be appreciated too.

Thanks gang

From what I can find pic wise, it looks like its a huffy sizzler. That paint is someone's home job. Can't wait to get this home and start my process
Any info would be appreciated



Update: Now that I have it home...

Looks like the original paint may have been orange (racing orange?)

Anyone care to chime in on the possibilities of removing the green paint
without damaging the possible decals and old paint underneath?

Need advice from some of you pros .

Please n thanky

The chainring is AMF, but the way the serial # is stamped does look like Huffy. I see a 9, if the second digit is an H, definitely a 69 or 79 Huffy. The seat is probably worth more than the bike, if it cleans up nice. Good deal! _Adam

Wow. Rust, you have some killer eyesight.
Even up close my blind ass didn't see that serial peeking through.
I'll see what I can do to pull the rest of the numerics, and post/look
for the breakout. The seat is definitely no longer metal flake, yet it's still pretty comfy LOL

Thanks again man...BIG help, MUCH appreciated!



Update:


The serial is 1C2 X ->(The X number looks like a 9 or a raised 0) 6946.

BUMP.

Can't find anything on this serial.
All of the huffy serial "decoding" on the net is so far worthless.

Serial: 1c296946 - If it *is* a huffy it's a 1971.
Not much out there so far. Anyone have any advice?
Jaxon...somebody? : )
