I Bought an A-C minibike that is almost complete. It appears it will need the exhaust pipe, a front fender and maybe the back chain guard. I say "it appears" because I'm having it shipped from southern Louisianna to Iowa and they (Yellow Frieght) have "mis-shipped" it. We here in the midwest call it being LOST. Anyway from the pictures I have it's going to get a full restoration. Does anybody know what color paint they used on it? I still have a few cans of Corporate Orange around here. Also the decals on the chain guard and fenders need replaced, any help there? Thanks folks and I'll let you know if/when they find it. ------------- If the horse dies....get off! |

If you do some research on mini bikes you may find some bikes also made by Gilson with the same parts. They also made some bikes for Montgomery Wards.
They were all pretty much the same except for the decals and the color.

| Mike, to my knowledge they were corporate orange. I do not know what your time-table is on restoring this but there will be a few AC minibikes at the GOTO in Albert City IA Aug 13-15. There will be one just like yours there. |

Has the shipping company found your bike yet? They were available from AC in the early 70's so I believe the color would have been Persian Orange #2. I worked with a friend of mine who had a decal printing machine and he was able to reproduce the decals I needed for mine. I had enough of the original decals remaining to use as a sample. Some of the decals like the 5 on the belt guard with the circles around it I made as a multi piece decal using an orange circle as the foundation then cut a white ring out of decal stock to stick over the orange with a 5 cut from the same white stock adheared to the center of the orange circle (yours uses a different color scheme because of the chrome belt guard). I used this technique for the AC triangles on the fender decals as well. The stripes were printed on the base material with spaces left for the triangles which were cut from orange and black decal stock and adheared to the stripe decal.
Looks like you have a really complete bike to start with. Even the seat cushion is in really good shape. Yours looks the way it should. Make sure the upholstery shop reproduces it exactly. As you can see on mine it is not correct.
