The engine ID number would tell for certain whether it's an early 1979 400. Located just above the ignition cover underneath the cylinder fins On the right hand side just behind the engine mount bolt boss is a Number Like 9 - 55xxxxxx if it is a 400. Mike

Engine number is 9-5508427 so it must be a 400 and not a 420, I was going by the frame number as what size the bike was my mistake.
What else ya got in that barn Kirk?
In my Barn I have a 1969 Honda 90cc, Honda xr 200 2001 Yamaha 250wrf 4 stroke ( These I would sell) I have a 250 Penton ( red tank ) I am going to keep it may have been in one of the pictures in my dropbox link , all my real Pentons are in my other building , I will see if I can get a picture to see if there is anything I am willing to part with due to lack of time to work on any of them .
dropbox link to photo's of some of my Pentons I may be interested in selling a few of them, some I no longer have, I also do not have the hipoint trailer and plow truck..

Out of curiosity, do you have the 77MC5, the 78MC5, and/or the KRP flat tracker? Mike

Ok, you can email me about it at
[email protected]. Maybe give me an idea of what you want before going thru too much trouble. I want to make sure I have the funds since I just bought another bike.

Are you interested in selling the 1978 KTM250?
Kirk,
Shopping around for my first Penton, if I'm following this strand correctly you have a barn full. What's the chances I could visit to look around with cash in hand. Only a couple hours from you. Drawn towards enduro's with lights and appreciate them as stock as possible but open to year and model beyond that. Ready to ride condition my preference but again flexible. Kind regards, Sammie. (740)507-4109.
Purchased a 72 JP from the Kirk Sessions collection yesterday. Not everything was for sale but plenty to make it a difficult choice for me. Can't imaging there was a better selection even in a Penton showroom back in the day. The background checks were worth the effort for admission and the armed security guards understandable. : ). Kirk gives credit to the POG for my admission and for that I am truely grateful to the group. A very gracious host and enjoyable pick for my first Penton. Much appreciated Kirk and POG.
Mike,
