That ad may be better stated as:

"Schwinn Typhoon - Repainted, rechromed, redone, reworked, and generally overdone considering it isn't the rarest nor scarcest thing in the world." Better yet, since this is a '74, the seller should simply state: "I am an idiot."

Heck, most of that brightwork is now obviously rechromed - it never would have looked that decent when new, not even on a '50s model. Someone pi$$ed away a lot of money on this thing for naught.
