Here is a shot of the wide grill sled taken at Horicon. Do you think the colors are the same??

They are the same stripes as the one found in the 1978 brochure and operators manual.

Here is a third variation on the stripes. Looks like they were really playing around with the colors on these prototype/preproduction sleds with the big grille.

Those last pictures are amazing. It's not the first picture. The second picture is the most look alike. The last one is the nicest color sceam I've ever seen on a deer to bad that never happened. The first picture with no red in it I really like to. Looks great.

Hey Stroker ...... is the rear grab bar on your sled turned backwards by any chance?
