Yea, it's Murray.
Could be flite series, possibly a skymaster. Hard to tell without the tank or bezel. I'd say mid 60's, 63-66. Serial number will let you know for sure. Cool frame.

Edit: I need to pay attention. Pic of number, seems odd. Is there a number on one of the dropouts?

Murray Flightliner (or one of it's variants) for sure.
Early to late 60s

Chad,
MOTX + serial number looks like a 1958 according to this site:

I'm not sure when Murray introduced this cantilever frame, 58 is after the Schwinn patent ran out, so it IS a possibility.....

Murray milked that design for a good 20+ years.

Cheers!

Thanks guys. Doing some research for a friend. All of your help is greatly appreciated.

if it has 2 serial numbers, that's usually an indication that the bike sold thru a third-party retailer, meaning that although it is Murray-built, it probably didn't wear a Murray badge. Sears sold a lot of Murrays over the years, many under the JC Higgins label.

Looks identical to a flightliner frame I just got.
