Nice find Jeff. Aside from the ski's, it looks to have most of unique 72 parts and pieces. What are your plans for it?

Re: My recent barn find 1972 400
At first glance everything appears to be original except the skis. Its missing the original front belt guard, and the console is damaged. I will be doing a thorough look today.
Here are a few mor pictures:

Re: My recent barn find 1972 400
That's gonna be a really nice sled man. It's great to see more 72s being restored. If you ask me they're the coolest 00 series just purely because there's so many unique things about them.
