Details

This is an unrepaired Vintage 1964 Schwinn Corvette in enameled black.  This bike is missing only the original front light.  All else seems original.  The Corvette will definitely need a tune-up as all the cables are loose and out of adjustment (brakes and rear hub).  Wheels are out of true but seem to be in decent condition. 

Definitely a rider, and with the ok paint, maybe something more.

The paint is ok, except for the numerous scratches and wear points.  The black is even mostly shiny.  The seat tube decal is starting to fade, and the chainguard decal has some scratches.  The top tube "Schwinn" decal, on both sides, is scratched.
Fenders are stainless steel, but still have some dents and dings along with some scratches.  They look ok, but not fantastic.

Overall, with some work (full tune-up and some overhauling), this would make a great rider.
Built on January 30th, 1964. 
Serial number dates to 1964 (A4).  Sturmey Archer hub dates to a 1963.
