  • @WhiteGravey because some people like to keep it original.

  • @camarolover1982 yes i do, i'm sure in the future these bikes will be more apreciated, as their value will increase. anyway it will never be worth to get rid of 'em.

  • @DadxPower so im also assuming that the longer i keep it, and the better condition it is in, do u personally think that it will b worth more in the future?

  • @camarolover1982 like every 60's - 70's bike your huffy liquidator is enough rare. its value is probably between 100/200 dollars but you can sell it for more to someone who's keen on these bikes.

    im in possession of a similar one and a guy offered me about 300 euros ;)

  • WTF IS THIS SHIT... wth wouldnt you remove sand and paint it.. even after you used your "restore" kit it still looks like shit

  • Sorry, but this is kind of weak...it doesn't look much (if any) better after the cleanup...it needs a quality paint job with logo reapplied....

  • mmmm, I would think repaint was better in this case.(a pic to phillips logo to be exactly reproduced when  repainted.Besides that..in my experience .paint its the better protection for metal. Just consider sections in wich paint is ok,are virtually intact 80 years later.

  • hey i need some advice. i just bought a huffy liquidator 3 and it is a 3 speed probably mid 60s or early to mid 70s bike. it is red with a white bananqa seat and on the seat and fenders, there is like a black racing stripe going down them. and the three speed is also an internal hub i need to knw the value and if it is rare or not thnx!

  • Soak a few weeks in molasses, but rust like that might only need a few days.

  • is that the turtle wax brand and the specific type of wax called "turtle liquid wax"?
