Lucky bastige! I wanted one of those, but my dad bought a me a "convertible" (i.e., removable top bar) learner bike. I later added a banana seat and butterfly handlebars to Sting-Ray-ize it. I eventually talked my Dad into a genuine 3-speed Sting Ray complete with "Slik" rear tire, which I put about a zillion miles on.

Had a Corvair Monza Spyder. What brakes? What clutch? Left it under a snow drift in Squaw Valley, California in 1972. Anybody find it?

As a matter of fact, I'm pretty sure I saw that car!

In 1965 I had the Calif. learners permit issued at 15 1/2 years of age and was the proud owner of a 1948 CJ2A jeep low hood that would soon have a 327 chevy powerplant thumbsup.gif

I started 1965 with a '60 Pontiac "Wide Track" Star Chief 2 door sedan. Trade her in for a brand new '65 VW 1300 Bettle. Here is a September 1962 photo of my first two wheel ride - a '59 Honda Cub, purchased from a pawn shop on Okinawa for $50.
