unknown muscle bike

Very cool bike,Has a MTD head badge.I have not had any luck finding information.
If you have any info please let me know.
Wheels are not correct but it does look like it was a 3 or 5 speed at one time.Looks like it did have a shifter on the top bar.Seat is very nice still soft with no rips.

Pretty sure its a Murray,looks like their "Spaceliner" series frame in a 20" format.Seat & sissy bar look correct as well.The forks and their cap appear to be Murray...early to mid '70's I'd guess...Kool though...P 8)

Nice find Scott....It has a spaceliner feel to it, although I have no idea who made it.

I found an old ad it is an MTD wheel king.Looks like I need to find a 3 speed shifter and a set of fenders.
Will make a nice winter project.The head tube sticker is very off center.The other stickers are a little off also.

That is one cool frame!!!

 

[Jaxon]

Scott what kind of shifter goes on it? Is it a Sturmey Archer sport shifter?

 

[lopo68]

Hello Jaxon,
Not sure about the shifter.The one in the picture looks like a metal housing with a short stick and a round black shifter knob.
Thanks

Awesome find.

can't help with ID, but the guard looks like my Sears badged 5 speed I found this summer. been wondering who made it - still not certain the guard is original, so maybe someone changed it out.

any info on this one would be awesome, too...

any info on this one would be awesome, too...

Your chain guard is a little different, and you don't have the stick shifter, but it looks like a '72-ish Sear Spyder 5.

I found a pic of a MTD girls bike I had.

Does look like the guard is slightly different than the MTD, bummer. thought I was making progress.

The Spyder 5 in the ad definately looks Huffy built.

Mine I'm thinking more and more was Columbia built, looks like a Columbia chainring, and it has the 24 hole rims ( oddly enough the rear hub is a 48 hole laced every other hole, just wierd ) . Being a stem shifter, I figured it was like 74-75 but did not find any serial #s, might be filled in with paint, I have it partially torn down for clean now, will have to check closer.
Going to build as a survivor,no touch ups,etc 0 maybe convert to a stick shift though .

sorry for the hijack, lol.... back to the MTD pics
