Here are some pics of the collection.
I found this Murray Wildcat at Goodwill for $10. It needed a lot of work but it was my start into the hobby.
I have since replaced the torn seat with a correct original. I also replaced the broken sissy bar with a cheap new one and got new spokes. The originals broke while trying to straighten the rim.

I got this repainted '72 Lemon peeler off my cousin. He had the bike for several years before selling it to me. I fixed a bunch of stuff that was wrong. I never got attached to the bike so I got rid of it and used the money to get my green fastback which I love.

My baby. March '67 fastback I got from the original owner. He only rode it for three years before putting it in the basement and forgot about it. When I got it the bike was all original and in great shape. I did replace the spokes and the brake pads but saved the original pads. The spokes were bad.

Next up is my $20 craigslist find. It is a purple Power King girls bike made in Japan. The tires are dated '66. The bike is in nice shape. It sat ins someones basement for around 40 years. Thankfully they sprayed wd40 on the chrome before storing it. I only spent 30 minutes cleaning this bike and it looks great.

Next up is my '75 stingray junior. It's a turd but I kinda like it.

Here's my '69 fastback coaster brake. It was a project bike that turned out pretty decent.

Next up is a recent craigslist find. I got this for $100. It is a Oct '64 Stingray J33.
Before

And after

My latest $25 craigslist find. March '67 fair lady.
I have some white wall tires coming for this little beauty.

The happy couple

And the swingbike. My favorite bike to ride.

Last but not least my indoor bike
