my Dad dug out my grandpa's 68 sno cruiser last weekend after sitting since 1998. Grandpa bought it brand new. Didn't take much and it was ripping in the yard. Its the oldest sled I've ridden by a couple years anyways!

Oldest sled for me. This is my Dads 1964 bolens Hus-Ski 444 that I fully restored after he passed away. Definitely nothing like it. It will go through anything, it’s like a little bull dozer. At speed in deep snow the snow shoots straight sideways out of the tracks and all over the rider

Glad I hung onto this little piece of snowmobile history !!!

Oldest sled I have driven was my uncle's 72 Chaparrell.
Was waaaaay faster than our 74 Olympique at the time.

A crew of us took elans up Allen creek late March this year. I think mine and my brothers are the oldest being 1974. Most the elans are 335 single Olympic engine converted
