Another what is this one??

[buckeye]

Was offered the beauty. What in the world is it? Seller says JC Pennys??

 

[Square_Chopper]

It's a Cat. 250, I think but :shrug:

 

[buckeye]

Uh oh... I'll hang on a bit to see if ya got it.

 

[AJaxMini]

Looks like a Cat. Doesn't it have the Cat stars in the wheels?

 

[buckeye]

He says wheels are shot??
He hasn't seen the crap I have worked with.
I think you are right SC. But I will withold marking best answer until a expert identify's it.:laugh:

 

[catfishman]

im no expert, but its a cat 250x for sure, had one they are very small bikes

 

[buckeye]

Ok,SC, you get it!!
Yeah,thought it looked small, but I am 4'2" so should be good for a rider.:laugh:

 

[markus]

it is a JC penney model cat, this is the closest on I could find, No stars but it may have been a anther year or upgraded model.

you may get lucky, that looks more like clay and mud than anything else on the frame/guard. Might clean up real nice!!!!

A 250 wouldn't have stars on the wheels in any form I believe.

 

[buckeye]

What ya thinkin then. Some thrown together?
Other than the wheels it looks like a 250. I have looked thru brochures and you are right. None that I saw had stars.

Seller did contact me. He says a buddy says it could be worth something. From some mini bike forum.:laugh:
Not in the shape it is in. Not worth much with jacked wheels,no seat,needs total resto,from what I see.
I did not offer him more than it is worth. More than likely,I am out. Not overpaying for nothing anymore.

No it wouldn't Its not a 250x for sure.

If the bars are separate it's not a 250. It also has the stars in the wheels which were not on a 250 from the factory. I believe Markus is correct on the Penny's version of a 300x?

Where the hell is "Catman" when we need him....

The jc penney on the chainguard is sort of a dead giveaway:wink:

Just because it has stars does not really mean much, I'm sure the penneys auto center had a wall of parts for the bikes in their hayday, that stuff came in carded packages:

 

[catfishman]

sorry guys, i guess i was wrong, the frame looks just like the one i had, and i was told 250x, more experts will chime in

Couldn't see the Penny decal. I'm rolling a new IPhone and just getting it set up. I was basing it on the paint scheme as it looked original.I agree that many went out the door with parts that were on hand lol.
Looks like a good bike Buckeye. However if you haven't ridden one they are small.

 

[buckeye]

Tells me the rims are totally rusted. Unusable. So basically a frale,fender and chainguard.
May look at it. He wants a bit more than I offered. But said call him in a couple weeks??

 

[YOOP]

Would be a nice project
if you get it i have 1 rim for ya

 

[TomH]

Could be Penny's model of the 3001
