Hey, I just found this old Huffy Belfort beach cruiser in the trash, both tires are flat, and the chain is Rusted, would it be worth fixing up given Huffys are generally cheap bikes?

It was free… try spraying the chain with some lube, doesn’t even look that bad, and pump up the tires, and ride it. 🙂
Looks fine to me. Add [this](https://www.modernbike.com/tektro-caliper-brake-for-beach-cruiser—26-wheel-front-79-99mm-reach-black) front brake. This is the only brake that will fit over the fender and still reach the rim. lf you don’t want to be seen on a Huffy, just take a hair dryer to those decals and peel them off. Or, don’t. And just ftw and ride your Huffy proudly
Pull the fenders off, add mountain bike tires and throw on a new chain. Ride it hard.
I found an old Schwinn beach cruiser in much worse shape than that a few years ago. Replaced one tube and freed up the chain with a good bit of WD-40 before applying proper chain lubricant, total investment of about seven bucks and maybe half an hour of my time.
I then proceeded to ride the bike for eight months before eventually selling it for $100.
