So I was redoing a house for a guy who was flipping it , And in his shed he had a decent looking snowmobile , he did not ride it anymore used it last 2 seasons ago and wanted to know If I wanted it .. So i say Hell I dont even like the cold why would I want to ride around in it .. well he says . Oh I was going to bater it with you ... I say how .. He points to a storm door and says You hang the door and I'll give you the snowmobile ... I said DEAL........... So here it is .. its a 1980 Yamaha Exciter 440 He also threw in a brand new windshield and 2 helmets . He said all i need to do to it is drain out the old gas in it .. What do you guys think ? It took a whole 1/2 hr to install the door









Anyone know anything about these sleds ?

Seeing where I live I've had a couple of ski - doo's......ask a question if you want. It look's in pretty good shape. It should be worth about $ 500.00

Does that thing work on snow???? Sounds cold to me... Seriously, looks like a pretty good deal for what it is. Hope it doesn't need too much work, they always need some...

Sounds like that guy got a pretty good deal.....got his door hung and a 30 yr old scrapper hauled off for free.

No offence....just looking at it from the other guys Point of View.

I find it hard to believe a corvette owner would put such beautiful vehicles in the same category as a 30 yr old snowmobile.

As a lover of fine cars....I am truly offended, sir.

well you had stated sir that IT WAS scrap because it was 30 yrs old .. Thats all,,, Im working on getting myself a 72 S.S Chevelle working hard to buy that scrap too... ... I figure a 1/2 hr's work (a few screws with a screwgun) is quite a good deal for that sled ..

I had a 65 ford custom 500 with 30k miles on it. Original interior never been sat on. Was pretty fadded but had seat covers its whole life. It ran perfect...alittle shake in the engine but nothing serious just motor mounts.
I put a bumper sticker on it....said "Bigger than John Holmes".
His name was Hugo.
I moved from AZ to TX and left it at my moms house. About a year later i had the cash to put it on a trailer and bring it out here. I called her up to set up a time to pick it up and she told me she donated it to the cancer foundation....i damn near cried....ok i did cry alittle.

His name was "The Bomb"....the car not my buddy.

Mine was not that bad .. I tore out the 307 that was in it and dropped a 4 bolt main 350 with headers and glass packs. That bitch was loud .. I blew the tranny and parked it in the yard got shipped off to college and when I came home a few months later on break it was gone ..
