racinfarmer Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 I'm thinking I might look for a couple older Panthers or something and do a couple vintage rides as a family thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have any emotional connections to the 70's stuff otherwise maybe I'd dabble there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad and brother decided to restore it in I think 07 and they got the vintage bug pretty good. I got into it a year or later and had a variety over the years.

I did grow up on a 76 JAG and we also had a redhead stepchild 81 Polaris ss440 that was a pile but then we got the 90's jag and puma and I never really cared about the old stuff after that. They're fun to look at but I don't want them for me. And I don't have a slew of parts for them! Once you start keeping parts for one kind of sled it makes it very convenient to pick up more of those sleds. Biiiig jag family 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a couple odd balls that were a little harder to find parts for. Settled on cats for that reason. Dad still has probably 50 sleds between nice ones and parts sleds, I'll have to snap a couple pics in his shop sometime. Here's one my brother did a nut and bolt on a few years ago. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just ass draggers but they race them pretty hard and I don't think those guys are racers. Still looking forward to their video of it though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRP and Polaris models are acceptable but as always open to ridicule. If looking at that the 500 . The twin pipe twin carb firecat 500 is the tix if you can find one only 1st yr and only early build in season were single pipe single carb and not a 110hp race motor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I own two. 2006 was the only year for EFI, single throttle body, no powervalves. All F5 were dual carb powervalve motors which was worth 20 extra HP 85 vrs. 105.
