Vintage Coast King Help
We found this old Coast King bike in the scrapper a while back. The guy we met who scrapped it said it was in his family ever since. It's a 3 speed in the hub. Spent 100 bucks on the NOS light kit with gen. And new tires bearings and brakes. Does anybody know where a serial number or tag would be? Are coast kings rare in any way. I know they might not be that collectible. The possible year? Just need to know a little more about it,
Thanks
Thanks

incazzare.
I'm not familiar with the branding. It is most likely a store brand from your area. Bikes like this were generally imported in large numbers generically and then branded for various stores. They don't have any significant value except for the sentimental kind!

Wow a Coast King. I think that was the brand name for bikes sold at E.J. Korvettes. Department store in the Chicago area. Not sure how many Korvettes stores there were or their locations.
