Pennys Muscle Bike

[nelvolks]

I bought this Pennys 20" muscle bike from craigslist the other day for 25 bucks. I think its so cool looking and after looking for a year for a muscle bike for cheap I finally found another project to work on. Just curious if anyone know any info on these bikes and if they are worth anything. My plans are to clean it up really good and if any parts need to be replaced I will do so. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks!

Here is the headbadge pic.

As stated above its a 71 made by Huffy sold through Penny's as far as collectibal value it has little being it's in not so good shape & missing parts. It would be a great Custom ratoration project!

Thanks I feel the same way.

Yeah I would definately like to make it ratty and find fenders and chainguard that are close to original and put a nice flat drag tire in the rear and a regular in the front.

Nice, there used to some real good looking bike back then, todays mountain bikes are just not as great looking.
