1967 250

I just aquired this 1967 250 #670069 the pictures don't do it any justice but it is complete my father took it apart 35 years ago to put in a new ring and never put it back together he bought a wr450 instead the engine still turns over good it has a motoplat ignition (no points) that was put in, it has a 19 inch front tire the only thing that was missing was the exhaust pipe but I got a replacement threw Rick Horvat and the only other odd thing is the tank I think its off of a triumph it has a fliptop gas cap I just had to dissasemble it to get it out of the basement but the bike has been in the same family since it was new so it should be interesting to get it running again

That's awesome, you're so lucky to still have that in your family after all these years! Please keep us posted on your progress bringing it back to life.

nice project, might be a 66,,what the vin?

the frame number is 670069 the engine number is the same

yup, its a 67...early 67 the 69th one made...nice...i did a 67 360Viking with that same vin...how weird is that.

Nice bike Chuck, I once saw a 1967 250 on ebay that was one number off from mine it was 670068 I wish I could,ve bought it it was just over in Washington state about a days drive from me in Montana

i think its wierd that they would use the same vin, on a 250 and a 360..the frames were the same dems...hmm, ill have to check again,,mine could have been 169 so many bikes so little memmory

It could have had a 1 in front of it it seems to me that the 360's had a different vin setup like that with an extra digit in there some where, you wouldnt happen to have a gas tank for a husky in that erra would you? there was one on ebay but it was pretty rough as far as cracks,id like to find a tank thats pretty close to the same year if I could I can weld one at work if its not cracked too bad

67 and 68 tanks are real tough to find. even a turd will cost you an arm and leg..

I have a tank that needs repairing , sitting on my 250cr 1967 in the UK
