Huffy 20" Stiletto Bike..
I had one in the 60s and was wondering where I could possibly find one.. It was green with green painted fenders with black stripes on them. The crank sprocket looked like a mag wheel and the frame was extended. I've love to find another one..
Thank you!
Thank you!

I have seen them on E-Bay or start going to every bike/automotive/flea market/swap meet near where you live. Use E-Bay until Spring. Roger

I prefer to build one. I found a frame and fork. Now Im looking for the parts.. Actually I'm going to make it a 10 speed and put springs on it... Those were two things I wanted to do in my childhood but cars came at 15 and I lost interest.. I have a real nice 69 el Camino that I transport my bicycles in. It would look so much better with a nice Huffy Drag Bike in the back..
Happy cycling,

I found some more photos on the net.. Got to love the long frames on these bikes. It made it so easy to shift your weight to the front and do a burn out. Today the long frame makes it easy for an adult to ride one of these fantastic pieces of history..

Very stylish!
That said, I wonder if they called it a dragster because after riding it 1/4 mile... you're done.
Same goes for what I rode at that age too.

Tiger, I rode mine all over Pittsburgh in the 60s and 70s. They were comfortable with the five speeds and the long frame.. I'll bet I put thousands of miles on it, I went through three sets of tires, that bald cheater slick wasn't a good idea, in the rain it was dangerous..
Here I am washing cars on Saturday for a few bucks.. I just put a Westinghouse radio/light on it... I ran a light bulb to the speedometer to illuminate it at night, the guy at the local custom car shop saw that and let me hang out with them in the garage. He welded a custom long fork to it with a big spring and make it a springer, he blended the green paint perfectly and added pin striping. It looked sooo nice!
