The only feature the bike has is the springer fork, otherwise it's not much. $250 bikes can be had, forks for $100 can be fit. The bike's not NEAR mint, not even close to restored.
The ONLY Stingray types commanding more than a couple/few hundred are the Krates, the FastBacks don't do so well either. Collectors or not, those bikes are silly.
I see all sorts of outragious ads. on e-bay. Some sellers are fools, others Scoundrels.
Low rider supply shops online have the straight leg all chrome Schwinn style springers for as little as $29.95 for the 20 inch wheel bike. ($39.95 for 26 inch wheel bikes)
