Lets see...my top three are:
Bluebird...insanely rare and expensive
Black phantom... Little less rare but still expensive
Cycle truck... Just haven't found one in my price range yet.

Had a shot at a Hiawatha wheel bike, but the guy was asking 400 plus for it. Someday I will find one....someday
Or the aforementioned Aluminum Silver King
Make your own wheel bike!!!
This is the one rare occasion where I would rather buy an original over making one. This is my Eleanor so to speak.
Buck Rogers Bicycle ( 1930s)
Not sure if any exists. Looks like something "Peewee" Herman would ride. But I like the idea of putting
a rocket type style for the tank & headlights. And tone down the side body structure.
I have this for the tank...
I bought 2 at the local swap meet. One was incomplete & very rusted , only good for parts ,
which I used to complete this one :
I bought this @ wally mart as the base frame
Tires are BOA -G ( 26x3.45) size. I removed the black lettering on the tires.

I have a list of rare or expensive bikes that I would just love to have that's as long as my arm. There is a bike out there that is neither but I have yet to see one, let alone find one to buy. It is a 1980 Schwinn Phantom MAG Scrambler. Chrome frame, red decals, black mags. I had one when I was a kid and it was stolen in 1982. I have not seen another one since.

The bad thing is if you find a really nice old bike in perfect condition, or
spend the outrageous money to buy all the rare parts to build one....You
don't dare ride it for fear of a scratch or something. You might as well have
a picture of one. :shock:

I remember one summer when just about every kid in the neighborhood had one of those. Most were destroyed by the time we went back to school in the fall. They didn't hold up and now nice ones bring premium prices. :shock:
I would like an affordable early 1900s shaft drive bike to find me. Pipe dream, I know.
I dont know about not holding up, that was one of the toughest bikes I had. I had one my brother got then it was passed down to me and I think the worst thing I ever did to it was snap the back axle( it was like 12 yrs old when it happened) and then the time I had an insane wipe out on it and stuck my foot thru the frame number plate. I bet I put 20 miles a day on that bike growing up in my small townkingsting said:
