Which whizzer is it?

Ok, I was having problems uploading more than one picture so you should be able to see them via the link below. The motor is missing the carb and exhaust. The welds on the modifications are gas welds, probably done in the 50's. rims are solid. We have a great fabricator to redo the tubing, but would it be worth it to do a restoration or piece it out for parts?

Hopefully this link will work to see more pictures.

No offense taken, that's why I'm asking. I'm not sure which one you're referring to, all welds appear factory except where it has been cut and re welded. The seat post has been cut off and moved. I would be happy to take close ups of questionable areas and post them.
Thanks, Sue

Hi Suenron, and welcome to the forum.
Thanks for the pics of the Whizzer Ambassador.
The Ambassador is very similar to the Whizzer Sportsman, came out in 1949.
The sportsman has 20" wheels, the Ambassador 24". Both don't have pedals.
The Ambassador came out in 1951, and both Ambassador, Sportsman had the 300S or 600S motors, they came with a kick start. The motor you have is a 700 motor, if you look at the case down by the drain plug you'll see the number 7. someone has tried to remove or hide the motor serial number i think.
700 motors didn't come with the kick start.
Frame will need alot of work to bring it back to original, still doable.
Wheels are very nice because they have the big drum brakes.not the right seat either.

You sure could make a killer custom Whizzer with that. I know original is where the value is, but I love that bikes lines.
Good luck Ray!
We are still trying to decide if we're going to keep it yet, we have several other projects going on right now. I thinks it's great and want to keep it. We've had some people interested in buying it though. My husband actually saved it from being shredded in a scrapyard, another 30 seconds and it would have been gone.
