Well, I'm hopeful...if it is what it's purported to be. The folks that have this, buy estate sales. My last purchase from them, was a moped with 23 original miles and it was an early 60s. I paid a prem-o price but it was in very nice OEM condition with those "low" miles.

I got all these parts zinc plated for $125. They even cleaned & sandblasted the parts that needed it. These parts looked bad before they were done.

that's the only color the vintage Pacemakers came in. All the Whizzer Sportsmans were green.
