Late '70s/ early '80s Columbia Commuter.
50cc, 2-stroke, I believe it's a 1 speed (didn't feel/hear a shift) RUNNING!
Check it: (pic he sent me from previous owner)

Scooped this from my step father. Apparently it was given to him by a neighbor about 5 years ago when said neighbor decided to move but didn't have a way to take it with him. I never knew it was there untill I mentioned to him I might need scooter for the next 90 days. (take a guess why
)
"[blah blah]...you can have it if you want, just don't get rid of it 'till after I die"
My step father, being the redneck that he is, noticed the wheels started to rust so he painted them silver (tires and all LOL). The brakes squeal a little bit and need to be adjusted, the throttle sticks at any position (needs to be manually turned back to slow/idle...awesome cruise control though!) but the damn thing runs like a raped ape! EDIT: Just noticed the tires are dry rotted real bad!![Sad](images/smilies/frown.gif)
It apparently wasn't ridden much but was left outside at some point. Structurally, it's in good shape but the stickers and paint are gone/spent. Awesome find no?

if you fix it up you can sell it in richmond for a good profit, my buddy does it all the time and gets mopeds for like 100$ and sells them for like 500 or more.

Yeah.... Not in person just through the site and here. I've met Christina in person though.
You have a new medal for the link.
Got anything else for me, resto/mod wise? I'm sure the shocks/forks need to be rebuilt (unless they are supposed to be that squishy) and I'd love to squeeze a little more speed out of it. To hell with the 35mph law!!
