I have 3 74 440cc Thunderjets and 2 75 340cc tj's, a 75 Sno Jet SST 440, a 74 433 GPX. I'm looking for a 74 ALOUETTE SUPER BRUTE 440 or a Villian. If anybody has a lead on one please let me know. I also want a 76 SRX 440cc.

Here's my boys 72 oly. Mint he runs it almost every day. The regrestration says it was the 312th registered in North Dakota.

I have my grandfather's 74 Harley Davidson 440. Gotta get some electronics for thata one, only sparks on one side. Sled has electric start too. Had my grandmother's 76 Skidoo Everest, but sold it to my cousin for his girls to ride around the yard. My dad's Sno-Jet SST 340 is setting out, I could go get that one too. It needs more help than any of them now.

I just picked up a '73 Ski-Doo Oly 340 off my father. He is the original owner. The should be a fun project sled with a lot of personal value. It has an aftermarket carb. and is geared down one tooth. It hasn't been run in a couple years so that job one.

The sled I first rode on is this 69 Scorpion. Appears to be kind of a morphidite.



It has a 68 engine, 69 chassis, and was registered as a 70. Note the silver hood, this is all original.

My dad purchased it new in 69 from a gentleman who had won it in a contest in Crosby MN (where Scopion was made).

This sled is currently under a full tilt boogie restoration. New handlebars, front/rear bumers, NOS skis, track, clutch, bogies, cables etc. I hope to have it done for the Scorpion show in Crosby.

This is a really nice original sled that I picked up last summer. I have not tried to start it since I was unable to get the motor to spin over at first. I did free the motor up, which did not take much, but it needs a good checking over, and a fuel tank.

Overall this sled is probably a 8 out of 10. It looks like about a two year old sled. I got it from the guy that bought it brand new, and I don't think he ever rode it much and it was always kept inside.

I will start this one after the 69 Scorpion is done.

Here is a 74 Scorpion Super Stinger 440 that I picked up last summer also. Pretty complete sled, needing a complete go through.

Here's a Kat Kutter that I purchased last summer also. Last summer was very busy!



Now I just need a matching Arctic Cat to pull it with

And of course I NEED to add a Free Air to the collection :beerchug:

Also still have a 75 Mercury 440 SR that I had in the late 70's. I may revive her some day.

I have a barn full of old cats. I just cant control myself. My favorite is a 76 250Z with a 77 Z340 motor in it. I have 2 76 Cross Country Cats that are next in line to work on. I have an original 305 71 Lynx 8 hp Kohler 4 cycle that is farely rare and a race for a Kitty Kat. My everday riders are a pair of 74 eltigres. A 400 and a 295. Too many more projects to list.

I have a 79 moto ski futura l/c.....pretty good shape elect. start and everything working....just picked up for next to nothing 2 78 panthers, one has 1400 miles other has 2200...both in almost perfect cond...woman's aunt and uncle bought them and then she got...didn't use so sold to me for hardly nothing.....but one needs a track but other is ready to go!!

71puma 400cc Kaw

There are those that say I have too many old sleds. I have a 24X40 polebarn with a loft that is almost too full to walk through. Taking the wrong sled out can result in a few hours of shuffling machines around. Good exercise, though! :div20:

If you have read this far, you know where my forum name came from. :frech32:

I have a `67 Polaris Mustang 1500 in nice shape that I bought from the original owner a
few yrs. back. Am really starting to get the itch to restore it to new condition but not sure where to look for parts, info, etc. Any info would be a great help. Thanks.

They ar all in my cellar. I slide them down the bilco doors. Getting them out is interesting. That's why I'm in the process of building a pole barn. Love the old ones! Grew up on a 1970 300 Ariens Arrow.

1970 homelite ranger 2,was built by polaris has a 175 cc single banger,gas tank is where the trunk should be,you have to lift the seat to put gas in it,just put it in the garage to mess with so the wifes 5 yearold grandson can ride it

I just picked up a nice 76 el tigre' 4000 free-air 400 in decent shape,this will be my new project-get out of the house away from the wife and kids sled.

I have A 65 Polaris Sno-Travler. My dad bought it brand new. It still runs but needs some TLC. I plan on runnig it during our winter weekend to get some looks and remind people how far snowmobiles have came.

I have a 1967 Super Olympic Skidoo -

Great Shape -

hi my name is tim and i have an addiction to vintage snowmobiles, i currenty have a 1974 gp 292/ i just sold my gpx 433 and my wife doesn't know about the (2) 292 lynx's i just bought these sleds are older than i am but i don't care, there is so many memories these sleds have given me and so much bud light i have consumed working on them i just can't stop!!!!!!!!!!!

I've got a 1983 Enticer 300 that I'm gonna race.

I've got the following vintage sleds right now:

1975 Scorpion Whip 400 - 450 original miles. Looks and runs in showroom condition. Best original 1975 sled in a couple of vintage shows.
1978 Polaris TXL 340 - 2500 mi. Mint original condition, I'm going through the engine and rear suspension. Chassis and cosmetics are mint original. I'll never figure out how the original owner got that many miles on it and kept it looking like it does.
1979 Polaris TX 440 - 850 original miles. Hasn't been run for years and I'm going through it from skis to rear bumper. Excellent original.

Near vintage sleds, they will be 20 years old next winter. I picked them up earlier this month:
1986 Polaris Sprint 340 ES - 475 original miles, I'm letting the kids use it. It is low miles but has surface rust in many areas from bad storage. Huge mouse nest in airbox - was completely full. I'll work on a paint job next summer. Mechanically it is mint and after some clean-up and new gas lines it runs like new.
1986 Polaris Indy Trail - 1038 original miles. The mate to the Sprint. Needs some parts with surface rust painted. Fortunately most of the sled is either aluminum or plastic. A perfect restoration project. By the time I'm done it will be vintage.:smilielol:

Other project sled - not vintage yet:
1991 Polaris Indy 400. - 6000++? miles. Engine was stuck but is now somehow free and running (but for how long?). Needs all kinds of rebuilding but still looks good. The price was right and it's straight and clean. This will also be a summer project. One of my favorite sleds so worth fixing. Parts are easy to find. I'm thinking I may either restore it to original or do a 'Pimp my ride' and go crazy with it. I've got an idea to paint it the same midnight blue as the TX's, update the front end with a wide kit, put gas shocks on it. Nothing too expensive but it is a decent unmolested original sled to start with.
I'll try to post some pictures.
:

I used to have one of these.

I'm keeping this one. It's a 90 Prowler.

1977 Arctic Cat Lynx 275cc
1973 Arctic Cat Panther 440

First sleds.. they were great.. Father still has them. I will post pics sometime...

I have a 98 z 440 but the real deal is my 79.

Here is my 1979 Arctic Cat Jag 3000 F/A 340cc.
My father bought it new and 79 and it is still in the family and now in my name.
It has about 8 k mile and is running good. The only problem is the tail light has a short in it but otherwise it is pretty mint !

Later,
Pat

1973 motoski f-440

1969 Sno-Jet 440 Hirth Axial-fan. Famous for spitting gas all over your seat. Still gives me 50 miles a year.

i have a 1978 yamaha enticer 440 that is in mint condition and has 400 miles on it. i bought it from a lady in town. it was her husbands who had passed away many years ago so it sat in their barn.

Have the '72 Chaparral Firebird 340 listed in my profile. My Dad bought it about 8 years ago at a garage sale for $100. The only things wrong with it are a couple of stress cracks in the hood and a spot on a rear corner of the seat where some dog thought he'd enjoy eating a 2" diameter spot of it.

It starts and runs like a top and is a blast to ride, topping out at about 45 MPH (followed by my XC). It gets regular use when up north to my folks' lake place, where the sleds are kept. If only the new sleds were as lightweight, although the old bogie wheel suspension wouldn't be up to the task!
