It'll do. Some chrome parts won't come back (eh hem handlebars). But the frame and the paint is very nice. Untouched. Original fastback slick in good condition. Without further ado:

It's parked! '71 Kool Krusty Manty Ray FINISHED!!
Emailed on this 6 minutes after it was posted. There was a little bump in the road when the seller called me when I was just about there and said he had several offers higher than his posted price but I showed up and ended up getting it for a price that was higher than the posting but lower than the offers. A little miffed but I still got a deal (despite its crustiness).

Re: Holding my breath on a craigslist find right now.
I know the feeling
Re: Holding my breath on a craigslist find right now.
Ha, normally I would never either but I knew it had already been seen by everybody who needed to see it. I was also just sitting and waiting nervously for the seller to email pictures because there were none and I wanted to make sure it wasn't a new "Manta Ray". Nothing better to do but post  These are the ones that always slip away but not this time. The fellow had just bought a foreclosed home and this was in one of the back sheds. Had no interest in it. Mounted it up on the Jeep and that was all she wrote. It'll rub out.
Re: It's parked! '71 Kool Krusty Manty Ray
NICE! I'd have kept my mouth shut and flag the add down after e-mailing.
It doesn't matter what I paid for it, it matters what it's WORTH. I never buy anything I will regret KEEPING.
Re: It's parked! '71 Kool Krusty Manty Ray
Score!
 That paint is nice Wake up every morning wondering what new bike I'll find!

Re: It's parked! '71 Kool Krusty Manty Ray
It should clean up excellent. Also, what looks to be chipped paint on the chainstay is actually old grease from the chain and it's nice underneath. I'm excited; get some rider quality rim hoops, stem and bars and everything else should clean up decent. It'll rub out.
Re: It's parked! '71 Kool Krusty Manty Ray
Ha, flag it. I like that. It's nice and devious It'll rub out.

That is why I flag it. It doesn't matter what I paid for it, it matters what it's WORTH. I never buy anything I will regret KEEPING.

Very Kool bike indeed...well done...P  REMEMBER...ITS ALL JUST NUTS & BOLTS...OH & GREASE...SOMETIMES PAINT BUT ALWAYS BLOOD,SWEAT & GEARS
Re: It's parked! '71 Kool Krusty Manty Ray
he should have sold it to you at the price he was asking when you talked to him and agreed to come over for it, and you left home.
He should not have raised the price on you while you were traveling, no matter what offer he gets. If you turned it down, he could ask any price he wants from the next guy. I would never do that to a buyer! This belongs in the CL Jerks thread IMHO. Jerry
