    It's not worth anything:lol:... it needs to sitting in my garage!;)

    On a serious note, hard to see condition, but probably around the $2,000 range... again, depends on condition!

    I rode one back in the day. A very pipey and explosive motor for Penton. Hang on.

    You might want to check the date, Orange was the 1976 color, not yellow. I believe you have a 1975 model there. I am a former owner of a Penton Franchise, Nov. 1976 through 1977. I would say, if in decent running condition $2000 is a good price. From what I can see, it could not have been used very much, wish I could afford it.

    The 1976 250 and 400 MX'ers were stated to be the only factory bikes that could be raced professionally with only rider preferences like Handle bars, grips, and maybe different tires. Gearing and power band perfect for back-to-back 40 min. motos. Dirt Bikes write up is why I chose Penton dealership over Maico, Husky, and Kawaski. The 400 placed me 7th with GNC before the Nationals, however I was unable to make the nationals in 1977 and my career ended. Awesome bike!!!
