I've never seen that exact model but it is very cool indeed. Great colors. I'll bet it was the "bee's knees" when it came out.

Judging by the effect on the car, it's pretty heavy!

In all seriousness, that is a cool bike.

Way back in the dark ages, I rode one of those back and forth to school five miles each way, and also to pick blueberries to make money in the early 1960's. Heavy as all hades but once you got it moving it rode quite easily. A great find and it brings back some memories. Smiles, MH

I've not seen a reflector mounted on the rear of the front mudguard before.

As a complete bike, the value is limited. As a parts bike for the boy's version of that bike, it has very good value. Everything except the main frame and tank are transferable to a boy's model. The fenders and skirting are awesome!

After looking at a bit I'm pretty sure the fender is on backwards. It's nice that it has all the extra parts including fender reflectors which I would agree make up most of it's value. Sold local complete as is only $150-200 value, parted out online you one could likely get $300-400 for the parts.

The best place to post your bike is on the CABE (Classic and Antique Bicycle Exchange) they have an extensive network of members that love bikes of that era. And as @zukahn1 said, parting out will be more profitable.
