• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

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!
 
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!!!
