Just got off the phone with him. A nice young man that had no idea of what he possesses. I made him an offer but told him if he gets a better one today to take it.

This sled has been posted on Vintagesleds.com several times before. He wanted $1250 for the sled before.

Just checked on Vintagesleds under 340/s... Looks like the same but the one on VC was from Osceola IL..... Very similiar looking sled with the exception of a decal on top of hood.
Might be different sled????

I'm convinced it's a different sled from the Illinois sled that's still for sale at 1250.00 as far as I know.

Where at was the illinois 340/s. Back in like 04 there was one around the Monmouth, IL area that was pretty rough. I thinks it's still around there.

Happens all the time....... Somebody puts up something for sale. All the experts contact Seller telling them they have a very good , rare find and tell Seller what they
really need to charge. Price goes threw the roof and somebody has to fork out big bucks. See it all the time...... What i dont understand is why these experts just dont buy it?

Uh, no I certainly didn't mean to insinuate any sarcasm but which post are you referring to so I can recheck myself?
