Husqvarna estate

Greetings;

I know this isn't the correct place to list 'for sale' items, but I wanted to open this up for some discussion, insight, etc. This is a large collection and some of you might be able to work together on its purchase. Here it goes!

Rick Thorson was a fast friend of mine here in Lincoln, Nebraska; I met him a few years ago when I purchased my '82 125WR from him. When I picked up the bike, he opened his garage…and I couldn't believe all of the Husky bikes, parts, etc. before my eyes. I'm not sure, but I am guessing that Rick was probably a member of this group. He knew and loved his Husqvarnas! And he was quite taken by 1982 model lineup!

About one year ago, Rick passed away quite unexpectedly. He had battled some health issues, but seemed to be fit and very healthy…it was quite a shock to his wife Sara and family. He was a great dad (built and maintained a racing kart for his daughter) and he is greatly missed.

A few months ago, I contacted Sara about the bikes and parts. I didn't want to see a dealer or some opportunist come along and snatch them away; I told her that I believed Rick would want them to go to good homes! I wish I had room/$$$ for everything, but that just isn't possible.

So, this is why I am contacting the group. I have spent two evenings with Sara, looking at bikes and parts and shooting pics with my iPhone. There is a lot to cover! The bikes are in well-maintained condition (Rick had worked as an auto mechanic for many years). And the parts inventory appears to be something of a collection. I know that he had contact with older dealerships…and he must've spent a lot of time on eBay.

Sara would like to sell the bikes individually….and perhaps the tanks as well. But boxing up parts and shipping out packages (and more packages) isn't really feasible. So, she is open to some kind of offer for all of that.

Or, I am sure she would be open to an offer for everything in one lump.

Here is the list…here are some photos. I have put prices on the bikes, but not the parts. You can discuss this here, private message me, etc. Again, I have spent several hours looking at and photographing the collection, but there was much to do and so my knowledge might be limited. I will be happy to answer what I can. I have many more pictures and will post later.

Coffee, if you need to move this to Classifieds, I would understand. Thanks.

I bought an Auto and an engine from Rick not too long before he passed on, he was a real gentleman and a pleasure to deal with

I bought two 500 ae motors from Rick in the same time than Stormer 254.
Rick was a real gentleman as Stormer 254 said, and wanted some news
when we received the parcels.

Hey, Stormer…that answers another question. Sara and I were certain that we had seen an Auto in the collection…wondered where it went!

The 10 fins cylinder is a 500.

Thanks, Michel!

Greetings all. I've had lots of requests for more photos and pics of the bikes and parts. Headed out for a week, but should be able to post those when I return. Thanks for your patience.

How much for each gas tank?

PM sent. Want one.

I'd like the red tank if its available ? Like a price for it posted to the UK if possible - Thanks

I'm looking for a leather Malcolm Smith pouch, A Husqvarna crossbar pad and new clutch plates for a 1972 CR 450... just let me know if this is something that's for sale. Thanks,

Update here on all of Husky inventory from Rick's garage.

All of the motorcycles and fuel tanks are now gone. I have updated the list (see original post). There are no offers for all of the remaining parts, so I am helping Sara sell some of the items individually. Skid plates, new O'Neal boots, cylinders and heads, etc. Let me know. Most everything is for 1982 models.

Greetings to all. I thought I would update this old post. I am STILL sorting through Rick's old Husqvarna parts and we have found some more items that were in other boxes. Two cylinders (250 CR and a 430?) and two heads. Several countersprocket covers. Skid plates. OEM Magura grips. Here are some photos.
