'74 Typhoon. Rescued from the junk pile. Cleaned up very nice, and mostly all original, I think. Someone spray painted most of the chrome with silver paint, thus saving it. A lot of elbow grease, and bearing grease, turned out quite nice for a survivor. Still with the "S" seat and orig. hand grips.
Nice save, though I think your Typhoon is actually a 1975. The blue for 1974 was Opaque Blue and it still had the round reflector on the rear fender. Sky Blue returned in 1975 and you would have had a square white reflector on the handlebars.
Typhoons have my favorite Schwinn frame. Very beautiful in its simplicity, IMO!
