Need help identifying bike model...

I Bought a TE 450 recently an I'm new to the site. I have also been keeping an eye out for a vintage bike to ride and tinker with. I came across a husky on craigslist yesterday that is listed as an 86 Husqvarna 250. It clearly is not an 86. My guess is a 79 to 81 CR or WR 250. Can you all help identify by the pics?

Lots of information above. No help from me...sorry.

79 WR 250 picture below

Then, of course, just start inserting different years into a google search and then click on images. 1986 Husqvarna 250 got a image.

Ask the seller for the VIN and then go to http://www.huskyclub.com/model.htm The VIN should be on the frame and title.

I did the google search, that's how I narrowed it down to what I think is 79-81. I'll call the seller and get the vin.

I'd guess -78 250 OR

Hello Bryll
I think there's some mistakes on the website web.telia.com.
Great pics but some errors on the models's years.

Yes, I think you are right

I missed that item earlier :rant:

Wasn't it in -79 they introduced the "new" airfilter box?
Then my guess would be a -79 250 WR

Thanks Husky T. I went last night and looked at it and got the frame and engine numbers and looked them up at huskyclub.com. You're right it is a 79 250 WR. The bike started right up it clearly needs a good bit of cosmetic work. The only engine piece that didn't work right from first glance is the kick start lever return spring (causing it to pull back up) came loose or broke. This leads me to my next question. What do you think it's worth. He's asking $350. I was going to offer $200. It will be for a fun little project bike to tinker with and try to restore a bit.

Any opinions?

Thanks for all the help,
Matt
