Hows this for a bargain, and what could have been.
« on: August 23, 2012, 06:53:30 PM »


This Husky tank didn't meet the reserve a few days ago, got up to US$710.00 and has been relisted and now the bid is a fly shit under US$950.00

Back in '83 when Huskys were going to plastic tanks for the '84 models, I have heard that they took all the alloy tanks they had at the Husky factory and crushed them with a bulldozer, they would be worth a mint now.

There was no thought of restoring the '82 and '83 Huskys back then.

Way Way Way over priced

Recently purchased two similar tanks , 1 of which was brand new in the box, $555.00 shipped to our door from the USA
the other was about the same as the one shown in this post $460.00 shipped to our door from the USA

Another example we purchased was a 1979 Black CR tank , brand new $510.00 shipped to our door from the USA


Dont encourage people by bidding at those rediculous prices
Autos are the way forward , see you round like a robot
Take the short cut, go Cross Country
