Neglected chick bike

[BLASTER]

This thing followed me home tonight....in the trunk of our Oldsmobuick.

Mid '70s?

It does have this neato twist-grip, 5 spd shifter.
Not much else that I'm really interested in.

What would you guys do with a find like this?
Seems pretty common.
I don't think my wifee would be interested.

Looks like she'll clean up nicely. Clean and flip.

consider how much time, material, and effort it would take to get it ready for flipping, then compare that how much money you realistically think the bike would bring, and decide if its worth your time, material, and effort. i would part it out. i would have brought it home just for the 5 speed grip shift and rear wheel assembly.

This is how I was leaning.
Not sure I want to invest in fresh rubber.
It's just rusty and dorky enough where it might not flip so easy....I'm thinkin'.

Thanks for the input!
