SCHWINN CORVETTE 5 SPEED

HI, OFFERING UP MY COLLECTION OF THREE RARE SCHWINN CORVETTE FIVE SPEEDS : A “RESTORED” ( NEWER PAINT) BLUE I BOUGHT FROM CHICAGO. SELLER TO ME CLAIMED IT BELONGED TO A SCHWINN HEIR. I PAID OVER $2K ABOUT A DECADE AGO. $1962 FIRM. THE TOTALLY ORIGINAL IN BLUE PICTURED $1962 FIRM. A BLUE FRAME WITH THE ORIGINAL FORK. I PURCHASED ALL THE VERY BEST PARTS I COULD FIND OVER SEVERAL YEARS TO BRING IT BACK TO LIFE. PAID OVER $1K FOR JUST THE PARTS 😳. ITS BASICALLY A PUT IT TOGETHER VINTAGE KIT. $962 FIRM. ALL THREE ARE 1962. THE SCHWINN CORVETTE 5 SPEED ARE HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER BY MADE IN USA 🇺🇸 COLLECTOR AFICIONADOS AS THEY WERE ONLY MADE FOR 18 MONTHS BETWEEN 1961 AND 1962. TO EVEN SEE ONE FOR SALE IS QUITE RARE. PLEASE DONT WASTE YOUR BREATH TELLING ME THEY ARE TOO EXPENSIVE WHEN A HOUSE I LIKED HERE IN SAN DIEGO SOLD FOR $2.2 MILLION 😳. MY FATHERS MORTGAGE PAYMENT ON A THREE BEDROOM SINGLE DETACHED HOME IN LALA LAND WITH A HUGE BACK YARD WAS LESS THAN WHAT THESE SOLD FOR BACK THEN 😱. A BATCH OF CHINA MADE SCHWINN CORVETTES WERE MADE AND SOLD THROUGH WALL FART I MEAN MART. I BOUGHT ONE : NICE LOOKING PIECE OF TRASH 👀 : RODE IT JUST A FEW MILES BEFORE IT DEVELOPED A CLUNK MOST LIKELY THE POS BEARINGS USED INSIDE THE FRAME FOR THE PEDALS WERE DISINTEGRATING 😱 SO I GOT RID OF IT. IVE SEEN EVEN THOSE POS SELLING FOR MORE THAN WHAT THEY SOLD NEW 😳. WILLING TO RENT FOR A FILM 🎥 SHOOT. THANK YOU 😊
