Brand spanking new 1978 MC5 400 on ebay

Something like this comes along every so often.  I do not completely understand the thinking behind whomever has preserved this, but maybe it is a strange combination of circumstances. Anyway, check it out!  Now, the seat cover, if original, is different from the other 1978s I have seen in that it says "Penton".  Maybe the original was ripped or whatever and this is a dealer or owner replacement?  Ok so they didn't have HDTV in 1978 but they did have lots of nice bikes!

You would think a museum or KTM would want this one.  Or perhaps a St. Louis POG member?  The seat thing seems a little odd but fixable.

Amazing.  I remember when the one I purchased in 1978 looked like that, but after the first tank of gas that changed.  They are only new once.

Beautiful bike.

It would be a nice bike to own, but Massachusetts is a long way from Texas.
