What The Heck Is That?.......
Dig the original cover!
Okay, here goes....... This IS a King Kat chassis. The tag reads: Serial 1X29 - Model N-P. It was probably a 650 KK prototype that was built for the R&D shop. At some point it was stripped and someone took the bare chassis and made a trail rider out of it. Or, maybe it was a test sled, put together by the factory engineers to see how the "big" chassis performed as a trail machine. Who knows?!?! You gotta love those "tractor" headlights....... Okay, maybe not.......

This Cat Is A Mixed Breed!
It looks like it has a Puma dash, complete with speedo, heat gauges, and a compass! It has a 1972 Panther/EXT handle bar pad. It has a 1972 Cheetah seat with Panther saddle bags. The gas tank might be a King Kat, or it is a 1972 Cheetah/Puma tank. The owner is pretty sure the track and suspension are from a Panther.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A 634 Hirth, with electric start!
The engine is a single carb, 634 Hirth with electric start, a can muffler and an 1190 Salsbury clutch. The tunnel, belly pan, body supports, front end assembly, hood, and skis are all King Kat.
If anybody knows anything about this sled, please e-mail me!
