Default 1950 Panhead?

Hey guys, figured here was the best place to come for the info I need. My dad passed almost 10 years ago, and I always wanted to keep his bike, but I'm short of cash, and need to sell some things. I dont know anything about bikes, and was told its a 1950 panhead. Was wondering if you guys could tell me if it is/isnt a panhead, and what it actually is. Also if any1 knew the price range i could expect to sell it for.

Welcome to the forum

Looks to be an early Shovelhead ( "Generator Shovel,) 1966 to 1969.

Nice looking bike, with several aftermarket items added.

Maybe $7500, but prices vary. Good Luck.
