Missing most of the parts, and the engine... but would be a good start to a project. The chrome on the wheels appears to be in goo shape

yes and no, frame size and basic design stayed the same but lots of little things got updated, The bike listed is not a good example to look at because all the crap welded on, but the basics to tell what frame/model are mount or lack of at the back left downtube for long chainguard to attach to, engine mount plate design, rear wheel assy, and seat mount/s. I have seen one on here before that had forkplates like a Dart cycle too, I think that would have been the very first model around '64 I would guess, I dont have that in any of my literature, listing I have on them is 65-68 and they listed them as econocycle K-1 and K-2, and continental cub c-220 and k-220
that bike in the listing would be in the 1965-1967 range with what it has on it. They were offered as kit bikes less engine in that timeframe as well

BTW I am looking for a chain guard for this Chopper.

Thanks CG but I have one of those on the shelf. About 2 years ago I bid about $60 bucks for an original one on Ebay thinking no one in their right mind would pay more ( I was a bit naive back then) and it went for about $120. Haven't seen one since and I am still kicking myself. Anyway, thanks for the tip, I appreciate it.
