I thought this was interesting.

Ebay item # 250213758100

They must not have had all the graphics worked out in time for the photoshoot. Looks like they swiped a TF seat off the assembly line too.

It is common for the sales literature of first-year models to be a little off from what actually came out.

I agree, Ski-Doo did it all the time.

It was cool, but I forgot to watch my bid and lost out on it. Rats.

I agree it looks pretty neat with the 79 graphics. I just have it pictured in my head, the engineers are working their butts off to get this thing ready to release, and then, "oh crap we have to do that photo shoot." "Well, go grab some decals and a seat." From my internships, I know some of the stresses that can accompany a product release, which I'm sure some of you are all too familiar with. I recently took a job with JD at PEC in Waterloo. I'll be in the drive train division for mid to high hp tractors. I start in August and am looking forward to applying a little college knowledge. It's great to hear from you guys that were involved with the engineering portion of it back in the day.
