  • "Seems like time is here and gone".....Doobie's
My cousin and his son had a kid working for them whose Dad passed away, and the bank is going to lay claim to his property next week. So the kid had them over and told 'em to take anything and everything they want. Well, out in the barn shop.....they uncovered, in what appears to be perfect condition, an early Moto-ski snowmobile...with 242 miles on the odometer. He said even the seat is perfect, no cracks or anything. Orange with black seat, from what he tells me, I believe it may be a 1970-73 340. Having him get me serial # so I can verify date. They will be getting it running and sending me pics. He wants to know if anyone would like to buy it....please let me know if you know of anyone interested. He lives in Pine City, Mn.

That is a nice find.  I'm sure if it's in that great of shape he will have no problem selling it.

I believe your pic is a '75/76. In '71 they were bought by Skidoo. This is a '70.  It Looks JUST LIKE the PIC I POSTED.
