To motor or not! that is the question

Have this old schwinn corvette 1965 picked up at a local auction last year for 25 dollrs . But after restoring it, can't see putting a motor on it. But darn if it would be a great Holloween cruiser to run the neighborhood. The color is called striker orange. Has a silver base under the orange. here are some pics. enjoy !

I rarely say this, but I would keep it non-motorized. It is really nice, and its a restored classic.

OH MY! That is nice! IF you do motorize; do as quality a job as you did on the restoration. 4 stroke and semi Whizzer or full on Whizzer application WITHOUT the funked up whizzer tank. Keep the "tank" you have and use a seat post keg; powdercoated to match. Leaning however to keeping it stock.

I vote for keep it as it is. You made it too nice to motorize.

Ditto. Pedal that sweet cruiser. I'd love to ride it in the Tour de Fat. Buy something less rare for mounting an engine. Plenty of Murrays, Huffy's, Western Flyers, etc out there.

I concur!! This bike needs a real Whizzer engine & a keg tank to do it justice!
