Sorry to have to dig up such an old thread, But to update this story, I wan't to report that this Autobike has been sold. It had been sitting around in my Mother's garage, taking up valuble space, so I took it to a local Thrift Store & Antique Shop. I got $25.00 for it. He had looked it up on Ebay, or something, and found one for sale, asking $75.00 (but no bidders). I was ready to accept $15.00, so when he offered $25.00, I said "Sold".
That is the story of how I disposed of this automatic transmission bike. It had so little use, that the tires still had that fuzz on them (Sprue, is what it's called).
