My First Panther

[flatflip]

Sold my 1970 Columbia Twosome today and got this in trade. Every thing is there except one tire and the front axle. Does anyone know the year model right off?

What's the serial number? Should be on left rear dropout. I'll guess it's a '68. Gary

I don't think there's another digit under the fender brace? Thanks, Mick

I like it! Thanks Guys!

Update; Now I have a front axle, thanks to the previous owner. He also brought me some tires and tubes. I now have 5 used S-7 tires and tubes and not a matching set in the bunch.

Nice find! And in Coppertone. Wish I had one in my collection.

Got it put together now.

Hmmm, I thought 64 was the only year they put the horn in the tank????? Or was that just the "Fleet"

You got me to wondering if my tank was original so I looked at the '66 catalog online. The Panther and the Fleet are touted as having a tank with built-in horn. Bikes are fun! Mick
