Man, that was the ultimate bike when I was a kid! I never had one but the rich kids always did...

I remember "Pea Picker", "Orange Krate", "Lemon Peeler" and "Apple Krate" but not the "Grey Ghost". Must have been a newer one?

yeh I wanted one bad too. I was saving and saving but by the time I had the money for the only one around, no craigs back then, it was gone. I always wanted one though I never was able to get it. there is a big market on these, Ive seen them go for 3K on Ebay fro a pristine example, grey ghost was pretty rare, It had a chrome frame so was even more expensive. I had a 68-69-70-71-72 huffy made from parts, like the Johnny Cash song
