    Nope. Im 21 yrs old. Wasnt even thought of when they were racing. I have grass'd em a few times. No ovals. The Tjet is extremely light and in a drag race would knock off most new machines on hardpack. They hit ferociously. Fortunately i know more about them then most remember. I began working for a top 50 dealer in the us when i was 15. He is an avid collector. I do all the research and restorations.

    I've always been a fan of the Deeres, so naturally I like the Liquidator 340, the 295s, 340s, and the 78 Liquifire Cross Country. Also like the Ski Doo R/V race sleds, the big bore king cats, Mercs, all the good old ones Nice lookin sleds though man

    I love the Alpine ski doo. The only non snojet snowmobile I want to own.
    I owned A 440 Northway snowmobile. The hood came up like a cars, and it looked like a whale.

    If I ever catch a ferry to the usa Ill keep you in mind. How much do thunder jets go for? The beat up need resto ones? There is a 75 that an old sno*jet dealer use to own. But I have never seen it.

    I've seen crappy ones go for as far as $5,000. 75 is the model i care the least for. snojet went away from the performance end and toward the commercial end.
