i found a bike up in the rafters of my dad's garage last week, a CCM 2speed Genuine Mustang Cheetah, and i'm currently restoring it. however, i can't, for the life of me, figure out what year it was made in. i'm pretty sure it's vintage, and it seems to have all of it's original parts. anyways, this bike really has the potential to be a really sexy ride, so if anyone here can tell me what year this bike is, i'd be forever grateful!!!! thanks so much in advance!!!

It is a Stingray copy probably made mid 1960s to mid 1970s. Roger

The decals and 2 speed hub indicate pre-1972 but post the serial number and I can tell you the exact year.

i'm not sure if this is the serial number or not, but it's the only number on the frame that i could find.
a160902

thanks so much!

It should be a 1969 model.

remove the crank, Ashtabula cranks are stamped with the date.

thanks a lot guys! i managed to get in contact with the previous owner, and it was purchased in brand new in '69, so you were right t-mar. i also found out that the only part that isn't original is the kickstand, which is pretty rad. anyways, the bike is in 131864569256892 pieces right now, but i'll post some pictures when it's completely restored.

thanks again for the help! greatly appreciated.
