Dale, are you looking for a 400?

Hi Lew, Not necessarily a 400. I was looking for a project for this winter. I may have a husky lined up but I'm not sure yet. Do you have something?

Nice bike. I look for projects to keep me busy during the winter months. I couldn't find anything interesting this past winter until I came across a 75 wr husky in February. I would much rather find one late in the year so I have time to do the restore.
You are selling the 78?

Will you let me know what price you are asking and will you send a few pics?

Best regards,

Thanks Mike.

I'm new to this as you can probably tell. I have a 1970 HUSKY CR250 and 1975 CR250 MAG. Would like to add a Penton MC5 250 or 400 to my collection.

I'm waiting for Lew to get back to me regarding the 400. Im also talking to Bob in New York about a 1976 250 MC5. He is asking $2,250.00 for it. Is that reasonable if it is running and looks decent?

Best regards,

Bryan

Bobs MC5 is nice & race ready. Well worth the price. A 76 MC5 would qualify for Post Vintage Historic class, where it would dominate. A 78 MC5, while a great bike is a little outclassed in Post Vintage racing against newer bikes. Those are my 2 favorite bikes. Mike
