ok, if anyone cares i found some information on these. thare were 80 of these sleds built and that is between the 340 and 440. thare were 6 of the 650's built and those were built just for the race guys. they all used the sachs free air engines and they were all specific for these sleds. these sachs engines had a unusual intake port design. all were free air engines.

as for the 650 there is a sled yard in wisconson loaded with johndeeres and some other sleds...check with him he has raiders and a few other rare sleds...warning hes not stupid the rare ones are pricey

That good info to know.

Does anyone have links to an aloutte website or a source of parts for the 'regular production' sleds?

Hiya KEC....there's a guy in Govan, Sask by the name of Al Kruetzer who knows absolutely eveything about Alouettes.....and he has many of them in his collection. I don't have his number handy, but you can look him up. I am currently restoring a 74 295 Super Brute and he was a big help to me. He brought his F/A Villain to our vintage snowmobile derby last month and I'm fairly sure it had a Sachs
