Schwinn Continental II

scooped it up over the weekend with centurion accordo, raleigh m50, a roadmaster something or other and a crap ton of parts, 2 rattle canned gas pipe frames, and a fontan thats in really bad shape, the guy had about 10 pairs of 27" tires all with tags still on, i may have overpaid, 300 for all, i feel like i may be able to make my money back selling the centurion and the raliegh they are both in KDO shape..., the roadmaster will need some work, but its got some character, that brings me to the schwinn,

nice shape, no derailleurs at all, just the crank, and back freewheel, is this thing worth the effort to find parts for ? or should i just cut my losses? i was thinkin of converting to a fixie but the 1 peice crank may have other ideas, also i may just strip it and sell the frame on ebay or something... ive never had one of these frames, im guessin they are on the level of varsity/suburban..etc...

sorry no pics... ill get some... just general knowledge on the continental II would be awesome!
