Default That Snowmobile in the Classifieds!

I hope I never, ever in my life again live anywhere I could use that thing. But, man is it slick.

Is it better to live where you watch buildings whirl away in tornados?

Looks like a beautiful restoration. Would that be a flathead 60 hp?

Where I live anything less than a foot of snow is a dusting.

Cool looking rig! There were many of those type rigs built up here back in the day. All kinds of power plants, seen some with radial engines and propeller as well.
Not much snow this year so far. Hope we get some ground cover before it drops to forty below.

Yup. I can dress for the cold and snow but don't know how to dress for a tornado or hurricane.

What's it say about people who live where it snows, and where they can watch buildings whirl away in a tornado?

Early V8 swap meet. Type snowmobile in the search function.

Got it thanks. Cool sled but for 50K I can think of a several cars I would buy first.

Living in snow country we have a lot of the early Ford car to tracked snow machine conversions still around. They were very popular with the rural mail carriers.

Biggest issue we have is the ice & snow might take out the power lines for a week or two. But that’s what wood stoves and generators are for!

They are probably as "common as muck" north of the Arctic circle and regularly seen at car shows up there... seriously though, it's pretty cool but I'd have no use for it in our temperate climate.
