1982 Kuwahara E.T.

NOS in the box and never built 1982 Kuwahara ET

Is this the only NOS in the box and never built Kuwahara ET?

Time will tell I guess.

This bike was purchased from a retired bike shop owner that put this ET away back in 1982 and stored it ever since.

It is the top of the range 3003 Model with an interesting variation, it has the IRC MX80 black wall tyres instead of the gumwall MX80's usually seen on a 3003.

I had to have it, enough said...

The plan is to never assemble this bike but to display it in a very unique way to be revealed at a later date.

I can resist the temtation to build it, as I have the 3 other Looptail ET's awaiting restoration.

You are one lucky MOFO!

Elliott · 2011-01-20 12:50am

I'm a happy chappy put it that way.

Just scored a NOS in the box 2002 20th Anniversary KZ-1 ET that the factory did 300 of for the relaunch of the movie.

Buffalo75 · 2011-01-21 1:44pm

You have put together a serious collection.

Any update on how are you planning to display?

NeRDBMX · 2011-01-24 11:42am

Cool thing about this, is that while I think a lot of us have some speculation as to where the value of our collection may be in 10-20 years, a piece like this is not only significant to BMX history, but also film history. The bike you have is an American icon!

Can't wait to see how you present it

kuwasakid · 2011-03-01 10:00pm

Damn Elliot, Damn damn. I was also watching the bid just for kicks. This is THE ultimate ET collection!!!! I'm really glad it exists for us to drool over. Now have you got the real alien ET kept prisoner as well ; )

Elliott · 2011-03-04 6:44pm

It's coming...

Movie replica, with 100% correct parts and with an spectacular ET replica in the basket is close!

About to buy my 9th Kuwahara ET, time to stop now.

daleyRANGER · 2011-05-06 9:27am

Arrrrrrggggghhhhh!!!!!!!

I'm jealous

kuwasakid · 2011-05-10 1:44pm

I think Andrew Frood needs to do a story on your ET collection for Classic BMX magazine. I'm drooling over your collection again.
