my flea market finds

just got them today from a guy here in Quartzsite closing his junk sale

Ipaid far less than I should have ....75.00 ea

24' red phantom 1950ish



26' red phantom 1950ish

 

You just gotta be in the right place doncha!

 

nice score Loco !!!
they both scream for an engine

 

NO NO NO!! motor aren't in the plans for them....going to rebuild them and sell them. Right now as they are I could sell them for 900.ea, or better in the right places.

 

in that case, they could help finance your cross-country ride

 

Old saying amoungst classic car guys, "they are only original once."

Clean'em up and sell'em. My $0.02.
Nice find, most everything here at swapmeets is well picked over by vendors...before the gates open.
I need to go to the next M/C swapmeet at Veteran's Stadium anywho. If I find a bike and buy it...I'll blame it on loco. :razz:

 

that just what I was thinking when we got them....anywho I'm on the way to the paint store tomarow to find that red and correct pedals for them

 

those are awesome!! you are soooo lucky!! I dig the schwinns!!!!

I'd have to motor the little 1!!!!

 

Phantoms

Hi I prefer the Roadmaster and other Cleveland brands. BUT I can tell you this from my experiance with origional cars, motorcycles and bikes, someone's said it before me, they are only orig once, and let me add, that a bottle of polish is one heck of a lot cheaper than paint, clean them, do not ruin them, any old junk bike can be restored, only clean and orig one time,
Mike

 

Smokin deal!

 

I buy and sell old bikes all the time and agree with everyone else.You would be better off just polishing them up and repacking the bearing before you sell them.

 

Sorry guys I know some wanted to see them get motored but I went to Santa Monica Ca this morrnng and sold them to a friend that has a shop there and he wrote me a check for 1500. for both.
So not a bad profit for 24hrs.......to those of you that live in California...LEARN TO DRIVE!!!!!!!!!!! 8)

 

Wow cool bike - back when we still made stuff in this country.

 

Isn't that like 1,000% profit or something!!! That's nuts!! :shock:

 

VERY smart investment technique, loco!! :grin:

 

Oh, too kool!! It even has the Delta Rocket Ray fenderlight!!
