How much $$$?

 

[samolia]

ok heres the story i bought a camaro for $500 got it running then traded it for 2 trucks one junk one and one with a rebuild motor ok...
so i pulled the rebuilt motor and scraped those 2 trucks and another truck i had for $800 then i used that money to buy my blaster ok.
so that 2.5 was just sitting around so i traded that rebuilt 2.5 for the sled so pretty much i got my blaster and this sled for $500 great deal in my book lol srry about the lenght it was the only way i could explain it.
basicly $150 for the sled

that reminds me of the first thing with a motor i drove. it was a sled and it looked like that.

 

[blasterkid89]

yeah sleds are a blast to ride even just ditch banging with my old 1969 wheel horse, and the 69 ariens 300, i'm more into the vintage stuff, occasionally i go on vintage rides=D

 

[blasterman312]

I'm surprised its still going for an arctic cat.....

 

[jfblasterboy65]

whats that supposed to mean man arctic cats are good sleds thats a spirit motor in that thing though made by kawasaki just be careful with it. I used to have a 79 arctic cat jag 340 free-air with the suzuki motor in it that old dog ran good i miss it though now i have a 99 z370 and a 98 jag 340 haha good deal on the sled though and have fun with it

 

[samolia]

lol heres a little update on the sled.
it still runs very strong i rode it 60 miles one day and didnt miss a beat.
and i still ride it every day and chance i get.
i usually ride with my buddies.
my friend nathan has a 1979 skidoo citation 340cc
my friend jimmy has a 1986 skidoo bombardier 377cc
my friend brian has a 1980 yamaha exciter 440cc

lol my friends call my sled "the tank" because of the way i painted it or they call it "the plow" because when i slow down in deep snow it acts like a snowplow and just keeps pushing the snow doesnt stop tho im impressed.
well anywho heres an updated pic..

and heres a pic of me jumping not much air but in 76 there must have been no bumps or something leaf springs in the front suck lol it rides like a go kart
