Cnc Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Nice thanks so much for posting. Brought back some memories, My first snowmobile was a 64 Olympic I bought second hand when I was 12 yrs old, he had one in that line up of ski-doos. Owned quite a few sleds since then, but that machine was the most fun. I have a 63 Alpine in the back of the garage waiting to be restored, considering the winter we are having maybe I should have had that in the winter projects plan.

Trailblazer Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 I had one of those 3 cyl engines back in the 80's, it was a Hearth 799 cc. I put it in my 76 RV, I'll try and dig up a picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cnc Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Nice pics Jean-Guy! In the early 70's I did a little local racing, mostly races sponsored by bars/ hotels, real amature stuff but fun. Several of us were running El Tigre Cats. We also used to go to Peterborough for the kawatha the cup as spectators. Meet both Jacques and Gilles villeneuve who ran the Aloutte racing team back then. Going to look for some of those old pics also. Norm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started sledding back in 1969 on a 1967 Snow Cruiser.....it was fast as a D6 and just as fast! Yes it is a snow cruiser I believe. Take a close look and check out the after market bumper and roll bar around the windshield, pretty wild.
