Friend of mine found this bike when he was buying a Honda from the same person. Bike is located in Houston and you can email me or call Bill for pictures.
My name is Bill Guillaume. The Penton is the MX version without lights and things. It appears as it is all original. All is there except the camber tip. Besides the rust the main deal is a bent fork tube that someone put in a vise and messed the chrome in the area of the triple trees. It has not been started by me, but the kickstarter runs the crank through its cycle with compression, it is not locked. Seeing as all is there, it would make a great base for a full restore or a parts bike for another. You can reach me at 713-723-2363 or by email. I am looking to get $700.00 for it. Let me know if you are interested or know of someone. I will probably ebay it if not.
I didn't get the frame number, but it looks like a late '72 or early '73. Like I said if you can contact me or Bill.

Thanks for the emails on the bike. It went to ebay and was sold. It is going to Italy.
