What is this?
Picked this up for $6 to use for parts (brakes, deraileurs, handlebars, etc) and thought I should take a few shots before I take it apart and send the frame to the recyclery. It looks like early 70's department store something. . . Any guesses on what it might be?

It's a deeply low end AMF/Roadmaster bike in poor condition that happens to have super cool headlights.

They can be pretty and functional when in good condition. But this one isn't really. You could fix it up with a lot of oxalic acid and elbow grease, but don't think about making any money on it.
Most people here will tell you to secure your boat with it. I would harvest the headlights, though.

Seems like AMF owners know little about proper cable routing.

I think that model was a special run of promo bikes for Hooters.
