Re: Two Dators!! Great Find
I have to admit when I first saw the add in the classifieds asking for Dator engine gaskets sets, I thought somebody had bought two Liquifiers and didn't know the difference. This has happened a few times in the past! When I saw the pictures I will now admit to egg on my face and choking on the crow I'm eating!
Most people follow leads only to find it's not really a Dator or they find a piece here or a piece there. Some collect parts for these for years just to piece together a tunnel they bought. But to find not one but two complete Dators and one with a new motor to boot is just unbelievable lucky. I hope you bought a lottery ticket on the way home from the dealership! LOL!
These are definately the find of the year for sure. Very nice looking sleds! Congrats Brad on being a double Dator owner. These are the kind of finds that keep the rest of us beating the bushes. Keep us posted on your progress.

Wow! That is all I can say.
Old sleds are hours of entertainment.... then you get to ride them for a little bit.

Re: Two Dators!! Great Find
Brian, it's my understanding that Brad and his brother were riding their Ski Doos when they came upon the HOF riders. They weren't in the ride.400brian wrote:Who took the HOF VC photo? No Brad on the sign up sheet.
