JC PENNY MINI BIKE ALL CHROME FRAME 5 HP DONT RUN BEEN SITTING $165 00 OBO OR WILL TRADE


I've been talking with the guy trying to arrange a trade, but I'm curious if anyone can lend any info on the bike? Make model possibly a year and is it a good buy?

I'm leary as to the seller knowing what they are selling. I've already purchased a mini bike that the seller said was a 1964 Sears and it ended up being a Cat 250X.

Foremost El Tigre

Possibly 1970-71
Originally came with a 4-HP Techumseh engine and dual braking system. Price new was $189.99.

I personally don't think the price is out of line. If the motor has compression and spark, I would go for it.
I can't tell from the two images...ask about the clutch cover if it's not on the bike.
