Member James E. from IN sent in this note and some pics:

"Here are some of my newer sleds; 1997 Puma 340, 1999 ZR 600 EFI, 2003 ZL 800 SS. My 1971 Panther 340 (JLO) Axial Flow runs but needs to be restored, 90% complete.

The ZR & ZL are for sale!"

FEATURED CAT

1981. With the economy still in a slump, Arctic trimmed the line up but still introduced two new models and refined the others. They also introduced a sleek and sexy new Sno Pro race sled.

The '81 line included the Kitty Cat, the Jag 4000 FC & Jag 4000 LT (Long Track), the Trail Cat 4000, the Panther 4000 & Panther West (different carburetor and clutching), the Pantera 5000 FC & Pantera 5000 FC ES (Electric Start), the El Tigre 5000 FA, and the El Tigre 6000 LC. And for the racing crowd, Team Arctic had new Sno Pro oval sled, with a limited number also built for the independent racers.

Total production for the '81 model year was: ? (I don't have the numbers and I'm not sure that the 1977-81 production numers were ever released).

Here are some pics of the 1981 line up:

Back on 11.21.08, I hinted at a new project that member Allen T. was working on...

Well, here it is!

I (Paul W.) had the privilege of rebuilding/restoring the motor, and I'm glad to see that my work didn't cost Allen any points!

Okay, it's not a Cat, but it did turn out nice. So nice, in fact, that Allen sent me this note:

"Paul - here are some pictures of the completed Starcraft. I took 2nd place at the VSCA National show even though it scored a perfect 100 out of 100. The judge (who I know) told me he gave me second because mine was over restored! I guess I did too good a job! It was also in the running for the National Championship but lost. Thanks again for all your help.

Allen "

Allen's newest project IS a Cat (a rare one) and I'll post pics when it is completed.

Member Ken R. (NY) would like some help from the membership:

"Paul, could you run a request on the AccA web site for me? I've been tracking 1963 Arctic Cats and compiling the production numbers and the model type. I have around 72 sleds now, but I know there are more out there. From what I've found, the oldest Cat info that I have is production number 46 which is a model 450. The next oldest is production number 49, again it's a model 450. Since there are no production numbers available from Arctic Cat, I thought this would be interesting info for Cat owners. I would also like to start the same thing for the 1962 and 1964 sleds."

That's a great idea, Ken. If any of you would like to help out, please contact Ken with your info.

To contact Ken, please CLICK HERE.

Also, would any other members like to start a registry for any of the other years? If so, just let me (Paul W.) know and I'll get your info up asap!

"I'm the proud owner of a '70 Panther 760 JLO, widemouth hood and chrome pipes."

Nice sled! Those 1969-70-71 "big block" Panthers are a crowd pleaser where ever they go, and are definately a piece of snowmobiling history.

01.08.09

Member Doug R. would like to know:

"What is the coating on some of the early 1970's belly pans and can it be duplicated? Also, does anyone work on the ACS sidepipes (aka "montanas")? I'm looking for someone to put new header pipes on mine."

Doug, I think the coating is anodizing since the pan is aluminum and that is what is most often done to aluminum parts. But, I could be wrong. Do any of the members know for sure?

Brad Cooper sent in this request:

"Hi, I am looking for a Arctic Cub 2x2 minibike. Made in the mid 1960's. Would you happen to know of anyone who might have one for sale? I have been trying to buy one for a while now but haven't sucessful. I have a small collection of 2x2 "motorcycles" and the Cub is one I don't have yet. Please pass my name and number on to anyone who might have any leads. Thank you, Brad Cooper, 1-541-501-6361, Eugene, Oregon."

Looking for something that was here, but isn't here now?
