Buying these mini's if anyone can't tell what model,or dollar value,the green mini is in decent shape has Briggs Stratton runs,red one has good motor but needs parts,an the one that's just frame is in decent shape also
First bike is made by a company called ARCO (Alexander Reynolds) in NJ from the earlier 70's, looks to be a swing frame (pivots at the footrest). 2nd bike is made by Bird manufacturing in fremont Nebraska, I believe that version was a maybe called a "Revver" or possibly a "scorcher" and may have even been a version of the scat bat. The frame shares a lot with a bike them made for JC penney called an el tigre but they generally used different forks/bar style and different seat setup. 3rd bike is a made by Fox corporation in Janesville Wisconsin. It was called a sprite through them and would have been offered like that with the double frame tubes around later '68-69. You didn't see the LeMans wheels used in fox catalogs at that time but they were also sold as a "Stomper" through a company called Crue-cut that did offer them that way in their brochure/catalog.
None of the engines shown are correct original to those bikes, and there are some mods here and there to them of course.
