i missed out on the thunderjet I was supposed to get delivered today. then. while I was driving home from my thriftstore run, empty handed, I drove by a lot with a bunch of newer bikes all over it. stopped and talked to the owner and he sold me this. missing rims and tires, handlebars, neck, and who knows what else. but this made up for my other loss. my first, real, boys tank bike. bad repaint, but who cares! I am one happy camper! same price as the one that was supposed to be delivered, $50.00. this will be my boten bike!



 
Looks like you have a Murray Mercury bike. IDK the year. '58 is a good guess. Nice score!
