Mine was an Arctic Cat Kitty cat, with the leopard print seat. I'm not sure what year it was but I was 4 years old. The only Cat I ever owned lol.

Mid 70's 340 Allouette Super Brute, needed new spark plugs each time you wanted to start it!

Great photo, thx for sharing it. That older iron sure had character (it needed it, cause they had no suspension, and really weren't that great in deep snow.) Sure was a lot of fun though...if you idea of fun was working on a sled in the dark with frozen hands - Come to think of it, we were still doing that same thing in the 80's and early 90's LOL
