I believe this to be one of the Murray Kat bikes from the late 70's

This is a very rare Murray chopper from the late 1970's. It's been a while since I've seen one posted here!

I posted it as a Huffy as it has a Huffy headtube sticker says Huffy..serial # pic too..

There is a member who collects these Kat bikes. MJW300 is his name on ratrods. He could tell you about this bike.

Hi - This is MJW300 (on Ratrods). I do collect the Murray Fire Cats, etc. but this is a Huffy which I would guess came out around the same time as the 1977-79 Murray choppers. I have not seen one like that before, sorry that I can't be of more help on this one.

This may sound crazy, but call Huffy's customer service line. They have a database of all the serial numbers ever built. Call them and give them the number on the rear dropout AND the number on the head tube. The head tube number starts with "HC". They can tell you the model year, sometimes where it was built. They might give you the model name too. It's worked for me in a pinch!
