I got a Schwinn Corvette type frame. Old three speed. It’s pretty good, rusty bars crank and headset spin and are tight. I also got a 1970s tank frame. I’m going to clean up and paint the tank and use it on my Western Flyer. This frame has a bent fork and splits in the tubing in two places. It could be fixed, but why. I also got another frame where a welder repaired it and then went nuts and welded a coaster brake wheel to a super spread fork and welded the rear coaster so you couldn’t adjust the chain. I had to cut off part of the fork to get the wheel off as I couldn’t grind the weld off. The fork was spread too far to be repaired anyway. I have a lot of forks so I could use these last two frames but why.

It's all relative. Frames like that are not real common where I am, so if one became available locally, I would definately be interested and I always think that I can fix it. lol..
 
First frame is '60s-'70s AMF, nothing special. Second has a Monark paisley chain ring, can't tell the rest. The Schwinn is probably a '63 or later Typhoon, if there's no evidence of a fancy decal on the seat tube. -Adam
