69' JCPenney's Golden Pinto Survivor

[derekbmn]

I have long wanted a Golden Pinto Survivor.....To me its one of the quintessential mini bikes, a name that even "Non Mini Bike" people seems to know. Over the years, as I have told people of my "hobby" ahem errrr addiction, countless people have said the same thing to me "Oh I had a Golden Pinto when I was a kid" or something to that effect. Clearly it was a very popular bike.

I have been on the hunt for years, and finally came across "the one" I had long been searching for.....A HUGE thanks to The Joker (Joe) for picking this up for me, and holding it for me until I was able to make my way to Indiana and pick it up !!! :thumbsup:

I spent WEEKS cleaning up and detailing the bike.
Enjoy....

Cool Derek. What's up with the kickstand?

 

[derekbmn]

Yeaaaaah.....I'm still scratching my head on that very thing. Still trying to figure just exactly what should be on it ut: and how it exactly mounted. I've seen numerous different ones.

I've seen numerous different ones.

Me too, the one I have has the center mounted two legged style. Just like the one on my Scat Bat. Did your exhaust nuts ever show up?

 

[derekbmn]

Yes sir they did.....thank you very very much :thumbsup:
