Just got this bike in the shop today. Bike is 100% original and is a solid 9/10 as far as condition is concerned. This Panther is original green on green, excellent original chrome, flawless seat, original Carlisle Lightning Dart whitewalls, original streamers, clean tank insides including battery housing, clean battery tray in the Rocket Ray light with original lense, springer fork, AS bolts are all accounted for, rear rack is nearly flawless, all reflectors are accounted for and intact. I will be offering this bike for sale on behalf of its second owner and will send oodles of pictures to serious buyers. This one isn't cheap but this is not only one of the absolute cleanest original '52 Panthers I've ever come across, but perhaps one of the cleanest old bikes I've ever come across. Of course, it's not perfect. It is still a 50+ year old bike.

To anyone interested in purchasing, be prepared for a four digit price tag. To those interested in purchasing, PM me and I will discuss further details, price, shipping, and provide any and all pictures desired. I apologize for not posting public pictures, but this is how the current owner and I would like to handle the sale. Once the bike is paid for, and I get the ok from the new owner I will be more than happy to post all the pictures I can.
 
I'm sorry. A lot of you have dealt with me in the past and know this isn't my style. Its just a part of dealing with different collectors/sellers.
 
Here's a real teaser

Nice ads, and waiting in line with everyone else for some pics of this Panther.

Maybe one of the Schwinn experts can answer my question. My 1953 Schwinn (meteor I think) had the same sprocket as a Phantom, but had the smaller chain guard like the Meteor. All the pics of Meteors show a cloverleaf sprocket. My bike had standard forks like the Meteor also. The cranks had never been taken off the bike. Did Schwinn substitute sprockets?

Great looking bike, I'm a big fan of green-on-green. Is it really 4-digit price tag territory?

When you consider this:

4-digits seems reasonable.
 
It would look awesome sitting next to my 1948 B-6 there in the bushes but.....hmmmm still thinking about it. I have my eye on a Hiawatha Arrow right now so i'm torn between the 2.
