Miss GTO??

[duncan]

Got this bike, and i habe some questions. like the year, maker, etc... ALL info is welcomed!

Headbadge is Firestone,
Chainguard says Miss GTO
Seat Is a Western Flyer
Grips have a Huffy logo on them...

Any one know ANYTHING about this bike?

 

[KJV]

Huffy built, seat is wrong, grips should read "Firestone".
does it still have the Firestone tires ?

thanks!

the only markings on the grips are the huffy logo with the 2 parallel lines with the slash through them. nothing else that I can see. also, I don't remember seeing a firestone logo on them, but I'll look at them more closely when I get home.

Based on the Samba sticker, a VW guy/gal owned it at some point! :mrgreen:

Dr. T-haha, yea, my brother put it on there.

*And i checked, the Tires are Uniroyal or something like that.

The maker is HUFFY. the serial #s should be on the rear drop out. the first digit is the year followed by an H or C depending on where it was built. so an example would be 8H would be 1968 Built in Dayton Oh, 9C would be 1969 built in Azusa Cal

Murray-Eliminator : i forgot all about the serial number. It is 6H363659, so it would be a 1966 built in Dayton Oh?

Thank you guys so much for all the information. This really helps a ton! anything else?
