It's a true original and it ride great for it's age. The leather seat is original and in great shape. The frame has almost no rust on it, but the decals have seen better days. The metal cavalier logo on front is still holding up well. The fenders are unbent and besides a few paint scratches are good too. The only thing is the wheels had a good amount of rust on them, but I got most of it off. I do not have a yard so I had to do it on the side walk and keep running up my steps for new water.

I was hoping it was worth around $200. I havent seen anything like it expect for a ross on craigslist, ebay, or wikipedia.

I'm not selling it BTW, I just put about 100 bucks into it to get it rideable and I was worried that it wasnt worth it.
 
Sounds like it is worth it to you. After all please yourself.

Sounds like a sweet old ride. Keep it as original as possible, polishing the chrome as needed as you have, and waxing the paint. Put a little leather treatment on the saddle to give it a "drink". In lieu of leather treatment you can substitute skin cream on the top and underside of the saddle. The leather was skin at one time after all even if just to a cow. The lanolin really does wonders for leather.

To a collector it may be worth $200. If you don't sell it who knows what it is worth, again except to you. If I were you I would tell myself it is worth $400 and keep it.
