One of Vic’s favorite restoration projects was this 1968 Stingray Fastback.
This 20″ Schwinn Stingray Fastback was introduced in 1966 as the lighter, more agile Stingray. It featured a 5-speed Stik-shift, and a 27″ X 1 3/8″ Slik rear tire. 1968 was the last year the Fastback was offered with a black frame, and sold for $73 new.
Vic’s restorations begin at $175 and go up depending on the details. In this case, reproduction tires, cables, handlebars, seat post, & seat were added.
