Haha, yes that is! It is missing the air box and clutch guard, but otherwise is complete and runs. Ugly as sin, though. :laugh:

Not a lot left to these two, but good for a few parts.

Curious to know what that trailfire tunnel is sitting beside the green spitfire. :-) 81' 340 by any chance?

Lincoln don't ever assume 84's are out of your price range. I have bought all 5 models plus 4 other 84' Snowfires and 1 extra liquifire and paid less than $500 each for them. All i need is a decent tunnel with the correct numbers and you can build everything else..:-)

I'll keep that in mind, I would like to get 2 82's first. A liquifire, and another sportfire. Finding them, is not always the issue, it is finding some of the ignition parts!!!!! Still that is a great haul, hope you enjoy the all the rarities you found! Later Lincoln

Sorry, but no 81 340 Trailfires. I have a bunch of 80's, though!

The guy is in the Orfordville area, and I bought all he had but two that he wanted to keep. I think the final tally is 28 sleds. Some are just bare tunnel and belly pan. I just brought the last load home tonight which was..... mid-mounts. Lots of mid-mounts. i will put up some pictures when I get them unloaded.

Here is the last load of sleds. It looks like someone had a little fun with the one X8 on the trailer. I'm not much in to mid-mounts so if someone needs parts, let me know. The 400 on the trailer is complete, and could probably be brought back to life pretty easy if someone is interested. I'm not planning on parting that one out at all.

I think I talked to that guy. He stopped in to the dealer I buy from asking if anyone was interested. Good deal just to much for me to deal with.

The only rule my wife has about me buying sleds is that I have to keep them all inside. Thank God I have a big barn and shed! lol I do plan on thinning down the herd a bit, though! :bonk:
