OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Repairs and Maintenance Questions on Engines Questions On Victa Two Stroke Engines Victa Silver Streak?

Hello all,

Yep another thread from me. And now that I am actively keeping an eye out for them, Victas seem to be popping up everywhere I turn.

Victa silver streak; There is one for sale at a salvage yard not far from me. It looks like the 1984 power torque mustang, same base but silver/grey, same shroud but black, same catcher only black. Looks in good nick except for missing a rear red hubcap (same wheels as 1984 power torque mustang/fc corvette 78-80). Tucked away in a shed up the back of the yard with $25 written on it. If I get a chance soon I might go back and see if it kicks over.

Is there something different about Silver Streaks? Or is it just a marketing thing/different colour?

Hi Sapper,

The Silver Streak is exactly the same as the green Mustang, only another colour scheme and label.
Victa was very good at making a multitude of models out of as few components as possible, using multiple labels and different paints and coloured plastics.

As I've said before, Victa mowers will multiply very easily!

Indeed MF - like rabbits or possums (haha)

When tackled about the collection size - I quantify it like this:

I dont drink or smoke. When a pack of winfield blue 20s (25?) costs $30 ish, and a carton of tooheys costs $44 ish, my vice works out a damn site cheaper (if noiser than a drunk and sometimes smokier than a ciggie)

And I save $60 a mow compared to a mower man

Hey fellas,

I think it is the space factor that gets others riled up more than anything. Even with a couple of extra mowers the comment line is starting at home, so I will have to be careful with picks. Doesn't look like a lot of people are really interested in them either.

I have never come across such a cheap hobby in my life to be honest. Finding and fixing an old Amiga computer nets me at least $400 if I get her working fully again, while I can come across a Victa with a possible lifespan that will exceed mine, and people are throwing them away. It really takes the cake.

That Silver Streak is begging to be looked at more though. Not sure I will be able to resist haha
