I don't have a dog in this fight, this is just mainly my curiosity piqued.

At the local weekly auction center here, they post pics of what is for sale on friday evenings. Well here is a picture that mildly intrigued me:

The red chopper bike in the middle is obviously the one I'm wondering about. Is it anything special or just a run of the mill low value '70s era bike?

I don't have any money to spend so I'm not going to be bidding on it, but i am curious what that kind of bike is worth. There are no other pictures of it on the site.

It looks like it may be an Iverson.

This would be considered an early 70's muscle bike in the dragster style not sure of the make and model though.

I can barely see the dropouts and chainstays, but they point to Columbia. The motorcycle style fork was common on Columbia muscle bikes too. As to the exact model or value I don't know. Some Columbias are highly sought after, but most are not. This one is missing the chain guard and other various parts, so probably not really worth anything.
