My sister had one very similar to this called the Desert Rose.

Finished putting together my 1980 Pro Thunder 3.  Fun old bike.  My kids think its cool to ride around too.  Its come a long way since i saved it from the scrap heap this past winter.  I stripped it down.  Gave it a bath in Naval Jelly to neutralize rust.  Then i cleaned all the parts up, and regreased everything upon assembly.  I found a few parts locally cheap to spruce it up a little.  Including red anodized Sumo rear rim laced to red anodized SR freewheel hub and Suntour freewheel.  Then i put on some old red lined tires that were sitting in my shed.  Found a red and chrome sprocket, red anodized rear brake, and black Odyssey lever in a local bike shop basement.  Then i added a white Odyssey cable and some red A'ME grips.  My friend tossed me a cheapo number plate to throw on and well here we are.  Its no Profile Champ, but its still a pretty cool vintage bmx.  They dont make them like this anymore.

Any new Huffy's out there?

I’ve picked up two in the past year and hoping to finish cleaning them up and get them posted up here and in MY BIKES.

1975 Thunder Road
1982 Z2

Have repop frame decals for both as both are currently decal naked. They both still have their OG head tube decals and the little BMX certified decals. The Z2 has the OG pads still with it too. Found fenders for the Thunder Road, but still looking for the round frame plate and rectangular front plate.

Glad you finally picked up a Z2.

I used to pull Huffy out of the dumpster, pull the wheels, and toss the bike back in.

For sure and the dia compe brakes.  These Z2s will both be posted for sale once I grab them out of the attic the wheels went  on this Thruster Tri lol

Any more love for Huffy's mid school era?
I always thought those early MJ12's that were more like a trails bike (when Jimmy Levan was on the team) are cool.
