I don’t pretend to know anything about bicycles, but the David Sherrell Classic (I’ve heard rumors that production was limited to anywhere between 35 and 65 bikes) is definitely something you can’t help but notice. Plus, this one’s got a Whizzer motor kit so I can feature it!
First produced in 1939, the Whizzer bicycle engine was built by Breene-Taylor engineering, an airplane part manufacturer based out of Los Angeles. Three years later, the engine production was sold off and it continued on until the mid 60’s. There isn’t a “standard” Whizzer. They were simply engine kits sold so that consumers could make motorized bicycles (although Whizzer eventually started selling complete kits, as well).
The seller says this example was ‘built from the factory’ with the Whizzer motor because the motor mounts are molded to the fiberglass and welded to the frame. This might be true, but it should be noted that Whizzer was out of business from ’65 to ’98, so the builder would have had sourced an old engine to make this happen. Either way, the motor will have to be replaced or rebuilt. It ain’t cheap, but it sure is rare. Find this Sherrell Classic for sale in Galveston, Texas with an unmet opening bid of $2,000
