Here's my Sting-Ray I got new in 1967 for my 11th B'Day. All original except for tires and seat. I believe the rear seat bracket is the original, but I did have a couple of different sissy bars on it in the late 60s. Not in particularly great shape I guess, but it's still around after all these years and I still get it out and ride it.

Thanks for chiming in with your Sting-Ray. You will find a stamped serial number on the LH rear axle drop out. Two letters - first letter is the month, second is the year. Here is my 100% factory Original Sky Blue 1968 Deluxe Sting-Ray. This bike was never ridden. OEM dated tires are like new. Your seat, seat strut and tires are the items I see that are incorrect.

Wow, crazy memory just popped up.......and correct me please if I'm confused, but I remember as a very young "mechanic" working on these bikes, that Schwinn used an 11/16" rear axle nut, while all the other bikes we had seem to have 5/8", be it Sears, Wards, Huffy or whatever. Somehow this didn't sit well with me, I thought they were big and dopey looking......totally silly, but had to share.
