Greetings;
Pardon my stupidity but I'm now 58 years old and have become somewhat "rusty" in the MX world. The story is that I got this KX (pictures below; sorry the VIN pic is so crappy photobucket wouldn't cooperate)  for free with the thought of doing a rebuild. The engine is frozen solid. I have never done a rebuild on an MX bike before - this one seems to have a lot of good parts but I don't know..... In my efforts to make a start I tried to ID the bike via the VIN but I must be doing something wrong. Questions:

1) My kid says it's a 1987 but I can't distinguish between a 250 and 500 or the year. What is it?
2) Is it worth getting the engine running? (I'm very good at trying to pee up a tree - I've done it on several cars)
3) If it's worth it should I rebuild the engine or just buy a used one?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

i just cant find the handle grips i want. so she'll wear those a little while longer until i do.i want some metal end alloy screw on style end green and black ones. i cant see getting something i dont want. its getting  harder to find the green ones with dual colors,.. cept for EMIG and i dont want EMIG.theres another green factory front fender  .a black ufo rear fender the original seat cover in good shape on the ballistic seat on the factory backing covered seat on the extra factory tank on the graffixed tank. kinda bums me out i threw out the old factory rear fender. but my bike jumped pout of my hands one and wheelied its elf out of that fender. o poked holes and bailing wire sewed it. . i should have kept it too.all those things are of my 95 that i just demoed the engine with the connecting rod. some years ago. yes i kept em. got pretty much everything from the 95 as far as the whole bike still. cept the crankcase has got a big hole in it right where that single 14mm engine mount bolt hole is molded for the front top engine mount below the exhaust pipe hole of the barrel(jug). not much left for that bolt to call home on those halves anymore. plus gouged th crap out of the intake side port of jug(cylinder) with the connecting rod before it came to rest peeking out from under my exhaust pipe. what a f'd up day that was.
