Ziemann Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 @X2700 My grandparents worked for Chaparral Snowmobiles/ Red Dale Campers. My grandpa was a trucker and delivered sleds and my grandma sewed every seat put on a Chaparral. I always wanted to find a '74 Firebird 440 liquid. Loved that sled when I was a kid. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always one or two sitting on the showroom seemingly everywhere men did business. I know there was a dirt and greenhouse operation in my hometown that carried JD and Doo every year.

Implement dealers also seemed to carry multiple lines of product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come to think of it, I remember Sears carrying a few also! My old man loved Sears! Didn’t they all? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was common around here in late 70's early 80's if you bought a JD combine or tractor they threw in a JD sled. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 (edited) Here's some sleds that could have been bought from a March 1993 Snow week. Seeing a 1977 RXL which would have been the leaf spring chassis with extra 340 and 250 motors for $2900.00. Wish that was a current ad Edited August 1, 2021 by Doug 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember drooling over the Chaparrals when I was a kid. I think they were the only dealer the town, might have been associated with the feed mill, the store was across the tracks from the old mill. I still buy my sleds from a local hardware store in my area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
