Finally found one

[Cereal Killer]

Just got back from a 5 hour round trip to pick this up. Been hunting for a while now and this popped up on Craigslist. My first vintage mini bike, been into vintage bicycles for a few years. Got it from the original owner, It’s supposed to be pretty much original. Starts right up. He said it’s a ‘71 and came from Sears. Gonna clean it up and enjoy. Appreciate any input.

It’s the super rare Arco “Wendy” model

it’ll look really nice all freshened up in its original green paint.

My advice is enjoy it as is, ride it often as possible, don't restore, there's no stopping point.

Thanks! Will clean Wendy up and post up some pictures when done.
