Funny story about the Stingray....I found this really nice condition purple '66 Stingray. The graphics were a little rough, but it had the two speed kickback and was all original. The wheels and fenders were pretty much spotless. Paint had a couple of bad spots, but overall it was really nice. I bought it for $275. I was heading to the car when the guy rolls up with the Green Deluxe. I had a green with a shifter when I was a kid. He told me what he wanted for it, so I was really torn. I mean I didn't plan to buy one Stingray, let alone two. I decided it was too good of a deal, so I bought it. So, now I am walking around pushing a '66 purple and a '68 green Stingray. This guy walks up and asks if I am selling. I told him I would consider selling the purple '66. I told him straight up that I paid $275 for it. I mean it was worth at least $350. His 15yo son was really digging the bike, so he said they would take it. The kid busts out his wallet, which impressed me that a 15 yo is digging into his own wallet to buy a 1966 vintage bike....so I sold it to him for $260. Hey, I lost $15, but I figured I had walked into a couple of good deals, so why not pass it on.
