Picked up a few sleds

I bought a collection of sleds a couple weeks ago. Still working on getting them all home. These should keep me busy for a while!

Still have about 13 or so to pick up.

Haha, yeah I can guess which ones you are talking about. I need to go through all of them before any will be back on the snow. None of them are for sale right now. I will probably be letting go of a couple that I already have in the future but I have not decided which ones yet.

Sounds good, let me know in the future. 84's are out of my price range, so anything else would be great! I got my parts yesterday, thanks Lincoln

Nice find, is that a red sport fire with the tunnel cut off in picture 5? I hope if you brought it home you sell it to the guy with the burgundy Trailfire or maybe you could make a package deal with the guy with the red spitfire on Craigslist, lol.

Hadn't you heard about the ultra rare 82 Sportfire compact? They only made a couple of them and the red is a one of one!

I had gotten that a while ago for a parts sled. It was easier to store on the shelf with a bobbed tail. Tunnel was torn anyway. If that one catches your eye, you should see the limited edition white and gold 83 Liquifire I have. Or was that black and blue....

Tom nice dress qoute lmao. Tom I must congradulate you! that is a total score! I have to keep wiping my mouth of drool lol. Looks good though buddy. I'm always interested in trading or swapping or buying so keep me in the back of your mind as well. Can you tell us the story about them?

Thanks all for the the compliments! I will leave names out of the story, but it started with the seller posting the '82 Liquifire on Craigslist. I called him about it, and after getting to talking about sleds, he told me he had quite of few of them. Later in the week, I went over to look at the Liquifire, and he told me he didn't have time to mess with them anymore, but hadn't found anyone who wanted the whole collection. I asked what his figure was, and then we proceeded to look at the rest of the collection. There was also a truck and 4 place enclosed trailer load of parts with the sleds. I tell you I was like a kid in a candy store! We made the deal, and now I am in process of getting all of them to the home farm. The seller is a really great guy and had spent a lot of time finding all of these sleds. I now have years of restoration projects ahead! More pictures to come when I unload the trailer full sitting in my driveway.
