Is it a 76' or 77' CR250?

    :banghead:I resently purchased what I thought was a 77' Husky CR250 to restore.
    Now that I am beginging the restoration, I'm not so sure of the year. If anyone has any thoughts, please share. The bike has frame # ME 12667 stamped on the head tube. I cannot find any cross-reference that show a CR of any year starting with ME. The air box cover is SILVER w/ the words motocross 250. The swingarm has the kickstand bracket welded on the left arm. The lower fork legs are BLACK and have the IN-LINE AXEL. The front and rear break hubs are BLACK. It has a THRU THE FRAME PIPE.
    See my confusion? It has traits of both the 76' and 77'.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks for any help

    I seriously doubt anyone will see this thread in this History forum. I'll move it over to vintage.
