1967 Columbia 3-speed "PlayBike" (pics attached)

Hi guys, this is my first post on these boards.
(originally posted in the main Vintage forum)

I recently pulled this out of the shed- any idea what it's worth? I believe it is a 1967 Columbia 3spd "PlayBike". It's in good shape, some rust on the chrome. Original seat, as well as original tires. The shifter works. If you need photos of specific spots, let me know.
Thanks guys, I appreciate the help!

Disclaimer: I am not an expert on muscle bikes, or a close follower of that market.
However: My general understanding is that if it's not a Stingray/Krate (or, for some people, a Raleigh Chopper) it's not gonna be worth the big bucks. Like I said, I'm not an expert, so if this Columbia happens to be a rare model/color and someone has a jones for that, I could be wrong.
There is one potentially valuable part on that bike, and that's the SA shifter, even with the rust. SA people are legion and some of that crosses over. If I were you, I would clean up the bike, get a period-correct one speed coaster-brake rear wheel, ebay the shifter and original rear wheel, and sell the bike locally for 150-250 depending on market.
