Last week at the annual Friday Night Fish Fry, Don Amber announced the next JDsleds.com Raffle Project! In Don's possession, we have a 1975 340/S, donated by Pat Shaffer. This sled, upon completion, will be raffled off by the Snowmobile Hall of Fame in 2018. The goal will be to have it complete by the end of August of 2017, so it is ready to go on display for ticket sales.
Don will be posting more as the project gets underway. Here is the sled as delivered, along with some new parts that came with it:

Good Question so jdsleds fans what do you think?
Restore to race trim
Restore to original
Using the words "race" or "original" let us know what you think.
For those of you that want to help but have no parts we can always take donations (and they are tax deductible) Send donations to 2018 Vintage Raffle Sled % Snowmobile Hall of Fame / Box 720 / St. Germain, WI 54558. We thank you in advance. Cash is going to be important for this build. Any cash left over will be kept by the Snowmobile Hall of Fame so your money will continue to do good work.

Feel free to check out our website www.buscobullet.com for restorations or parts.
