What is most collectable husky if only 1 was to be sought from 1978 to 1988???

 

[GaryM]

I can't decide. 1980 Black 390CR or 1981 430CR But then again the 500CR Silver Streak. I think it would be at be least a Twin Shock.

I can't decide. I can't be objective

1980 Black 390CR

yep

that and the 1984 WR400 (awesome motor) are both uber cool bikes.

 

[Xcuvator]

From a collectible perspective, my vote would have to be for the Silver Streak

 

[justintendo]

silver streak...also a vote for 88 mint bikes. the last of the last you know? i should not have started mine, as it sat 10 years till i bought it 98. it had never ran and sat in a dealers shop...but hey, was a kid going to sit on that when hes in 11th grade? or roost his buddies?

Twin shocks, air cooled, metal tank.....

Interesting topic but 78-88 That is real tough just because they where so much changes from frames to suspension and so on. Rarity and collectable sometimes goes hand in hand. The 82 Husky 510 prototypes that where bought in the US. Or the 15 250 MP Military autos that came to the US in 1980.L/C bike like the 400 WRX and any LC CR especially a 125 would be much rarer then most 78-82 metal tank bikes. But hey really aren't all Swedish Husqvarna collectable? The Silver Streak is a good one as long as you look at and don't ride it or try to start it LOL!

Why we are on this topic lets expand it what is the most collectable Swedish Husky from 66-88? The 67 360? any 66 250? 68 eight speed, 70 400, 73 RT?, 450 Desert Master, 74 250 Mag, 75 360 GP Mikkola and 75Mag. I will take one of each!!!

Since I own one I vote for the 85 400WRX since it was a limited run to test the market and a half year release. But it was a stripped down 1969 360 Sportsman I had at age 14 that stirred my soul and created my desire to ride Husqvarnas

Collectable huh? Here's my top 5 cause like Gary said, it would be a tough choice.

1) Any year factory prototype , like the 500 twins
2) Any year factory race bike, Brad Lackey, Kent Howerton,Terry Cunningham, Malcolm Smith, etc
3) Any Husky Steve Mcqueen owned
4) 83 500 4 stroke MX
4) 82-1/2 500 CR
5) 74 250 mag

And any of the top 3 would be in my living room...

Nothing like making the title reflect the content of the thread.

Since they had a Dick Burelson replica logo on some I will point to the most complete remaining bike he actually trophied on in a national level event.

1983 510TE

I am not gonna answer from the "collectible" point. I know that's the thread but you guys are all over it. BTW you forgot the ill fated but uber rare 3 wheeler auto prototypes in 82-85.
I would rather vote for if I only had 1 and it was gonna be my vintage racer/rider, it would be the 84 WR400.
