Thunder Chicken snowmobile

Do you compete with them at grass drags? And oval course racing? How does the tjet compare to newer heavyer machines?

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.

You little &^%$#@. I wish I had a tjet when I was 21. All i had were a 72 sst 440 75 whisper jet 75 340 astro(late production one) 1968 don't know what is was a 69 300 and my massey fergusion with a 340 snojet (yam) in it.

Have any other favorite sleds?

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.

Not sure if i could ever rattle off all of them in the collection. I will get pics though soon. We have a few deere sleds. 295s and 340s cross country racers. Two king kats 793 and 650. Turf Tigers, EXT's, super brutes, thunderjets, blizzards, sno twisters, srx's, sr's,txl's, starfires, gpx's. Tons of sleds. Lots of rare birds.

[Chevy200s]

hey thats awesome man. I would love to find a nice 340s or Liquidator. anyways, I see your from Lockport, I'm actually in Spencerport (just outside Rochester). Are these sleds like on display somewhere that the public can see em? Just wonderin if it was possible to catch a glimpse at them. Thanks!

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.

[honda250sx]

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.
