I've got a 61 white/pink original Debutante with the kick back 2 speed hub and the original (in great shape) individual Twinn headlights and no rust working horn tank. Few knicks but the patina is fantastic. This walrus is a ripoff artist. This bike could be cleaned up nice!

It hurt me when they said they’d turn that bike into scraps. It didn’t really seem like it was in bad shape beside polishing up the chrome and cleaning up the seat!

I think it would bring 300 as a preservation instead of a restoration. They were talking about alot of work. Reality is they are to lazy to do ANY work. If the chrome pieces were cleaned with oil and aluminum foil and wiped down they would be like new with some patina. Wash the bike with dawn dish soap and when it's done spray clear coat on the paint to protect it and its gonna be a pretty good looking bike. It doesn't need a new seat. These guys are 2 lazy to do that as well. Taking it apart is less work. The bike definitely landed in the wrong hands.

@@dentonthomas5622 right! A lot of people who’re buying a vintage bike know they won’t necessarily be sparkly new. The patina is part of the charm. And while I get it’s a pawn shop they DEFINITELY scammed him out of a couple hundred. Would’ve taken a day maybe two to clean it up good

The new chrome paints are really amazing. Paint the chrome parts, touch up the rest of the paint and away you go.

Smh.. that's not chrome plated, it's polished aluminum and polished stainless.. You just need to pull the spokes, get some sos pads, and go to work, you can get those rims looking like new, same with every other bright work piece on it.. Thought the same thing when i found my rusty hollywood i am restoring for my sister.. So far i have spent zero dollars on new chrome and it looks new..
