Title: Mint 400 White Airbox
Post by: woodchuck on November 15, 2006, 08:08:40 PM
I need only a white airbox to finish my 75 Mint 400.

If anyone has a nice one that they might part with I'd sure appreciare the help, it's really the last missing piece to complete the bike.

I do have a mint(No pun intended) red one I would trade, or I'd be happy to pay any reasonable price.
Thanks,

Chuck Purinton

Chuck,
  I have several.  Just have to be sure they fit....that is why I have extras.  Not all fit all the frames.  I am sending you and email.

Thanks Ron, I could really use your help.

I have every other correct part needed, including the forks I bought from you at Mid-Ohio the year before last.

It's an original Mint 400 frame from 74.5/75 with the multiple rear shock positions.

Al always email:

Kip,
That one looked to be yellow that had been painted white. I wish I could sell my yellow one for that! Mike

I was the losing bidder for that white one on ebay.
Couldn't believe that I didn't get it for $152.50 which is what I bid..........!
That is why I put out the call for help.
I think Ron has one, I'm calling him tonight.

If not, I may paint this red one I have. I hate to do that because it's really mint.

Thanks,

Chuck,
  Thanks for the call and I was happy I had what you needed.  You, having been a  Penton dealer at one time, have some great stories.  It is always great to look back on the stories and how they are funny now, but at the time they were not so funny.  Thanks for the great visit.
