‘79 Trailfire 340 Project

[Miramichi440]

Picked up this 1979 Trailfire from the son of the original owner. According to the dealer tag on the hood, it was sold by J A Williams in Cumberland (just east of Ottawa), Ontario. Sled is in good running order, but cosmetics need some tlc.

This is the same model sled I had in high school, and rode while my dad had his ‘78 Liquifire. It’s pretty awesome to see them both in the garage together! First steps will be to tear- down and assess what needs doing, then potentially a full paint job and decal refresh… haven’t really decided yet.

The “Larry” on the hood is the name given to the sled by the original owner. He apparently had a tractor that was called Big Larry. When he bought this machine, he called it Little Larry.

Nice sled
The only thing that look sad is the seat cover, and that should not be a big problem to fix.
