Murray-built, maybe a Monterey? 70s?

I concur, but that fork and the Suntour coaster suggest early-to-mid 80s. Definitely Murray built, and if it wasn't labeled as a Monterrey, that's the same frame they sold as the Monterrey.
Murray Monterreys are usually easy to find, and they ought to be pretty cheap. Seems like there's way more ladies' frames then men's, though. If a Craigslister is asking too much for one, wait a few weeks and then hit him with a fair offer....
I had one at my house, briefly. A coworker wanted to donate it to the co-op, and another co-worker wanted to "adopt" it. So, I gave it a quick repacking/tuning. Nice, simple, straightforward bike. Some ppl hate those Suntour CBs, but they're OK if given love, in my experience. Enjoy the ride!
