Nice score.....It even has the key for the fork. I guess it pays to be green and recycle.

should have the numbers
personally I would take it apart carefully... clean all the chrome with a brass welding brush and wd 40 scrub the frame with rags and wd 40 put it all back together with a vintage seat and red tires hehe and sell it! for $$$ but thats me lol

 

[Hooch]
