295/s

Yesterday I found a 295/s at a wrecking yard. The sled is missing the motor and skis. Now I am not into these sleds, but I would hate to see it go for scrap, is this worth salvaging? What would a fair price be for a 295/s?

Most any 295/s is worth salvaging. As far as price - a lot of variables on what's all there, suspension, etc. Got a picture?

Definitely worth saving. Fair price depends on condition. There are members here looking for 295/S parts. My self included.

Unfortunately I don't have pictures, I am going back in two weeks for other sleds and parts, I will take pictures then. I just want a ball park figure. I don't think the owner is going to be in business much longer, and if I don't grab it now it will go for scrape metal. I also don't want to tick the owner off by offering him peanuts.

I would guess a 295/s chassis could be worth a few hundred bucks if it's usable. It helps if the pipe is still there. Depends what else is missing.

Let him tell you what he wants for it. Then let the dance begin. Somewhere there is a price you will both agree on. You may not be looking for a 295/s now but next year who knows.

Thanks matt, that is the info I am looking for, the pipe is still there. I know a guy with a 295/s pipe on his parts shelf, what is it worth? Tasky, the dance can be the best part! Lol, I just don't want to go into this blind, pay 10 times what its worth and end up with something that is worthless.

Are you sure its a 295s? The 800 pipes are similar in appearance. I could be mistaken but I think the cans are harder to find then the pipes them selves. As far as value goes hopefully someone will chime in here.

It will be interesting to see what suspension it has. The earliest had boogies, then there was an optional parirail and from 74 on were slide.

Make sure to get the serial number for solid 295/s verification.

I brought the 295/s home this morning. Serial number is JDSOC 020955M, it has solid rubber track and boogies. I will post pictures later.

Congrats! I believe the bogie version is less common then the slides version.

Thanks Matt. I was just cleaning it up a bit and realized I was wrong about the suspension. I have never seen a suspension like this before, it looks like boogie wheels but they are attached to a rail.

Well, you may have stumbled upon the much less common bogie/slide combo. Can you post a picture?
