Craigslist- Sportfire in Peru,Illinois

Post by rmreid »

Since I just bought another Cyclone I figure I will let this one pass. It hurts tho.

Almost looks to be a LIquifire with a Sportfire decal on the tunnel. Somebody better scoop it up before I change my mind.
The other sled looks to be the Sportfire.

Randy, this sled needs more investigation.

It's almost 2 hours from my place so going to investigate isn't in the cards. Price sure is nice tho.

The closer sled in the pic looks to be an 80 Sportfire (silver TPR, chrome grab bar) with an 83 Liquifire hood and dash. The Spitfire behind it looks like an 82 due to the tunnel stripe having a silver band at the bottom. 80 Spits had green stripes I believe.

Both sleds look with investigating...
