Well, after some deep thought and some soul searching I have decided to put my 73' Magnum up for sale. I bought this sled 2 years ago, rebuilt it, and only ever had it in the snow once. I have entirely too much fun on my Nitro and can not use this sled for what it is meant for, so it is time for her to find a new home. Sled was raced locally at a small oval track in the 70's. I went through the entire engine with new seals, rings etc. Both clutches, chaincase etc. gone through and freshend up. Only thing sled needs is a little TLC on the hood. Previous owner did a fiberglass modifcation to it, which could be rapaired or removed (I have the orignal windshield). Sled has a shortened tunnel with a Texas ARBE skid and belted/cleated track. Chaincase is lowered in the chassis and the front end is widened according to Rupp specs. I am sure there is something I am missing, but I will get more pictures up if there is antyhing else anybody would like to see. Sled no longer includes the 75 f/a skis that are pictured on the sled, it includes the original magnum skis only. Asking $4,000, located in SE Pennsylvania Best way to reach me is 484-955-8571 Kris Attachment DeletedAttachment Deleted

Kris, Wish I had 73' to trade . I still haven't had chance to work on the ones I picked up from you last year. How about we trade them back to you for for it? )or maybe a 2004 GSX 500SS. Wally

Nice try Wally!! Same boat I am in with all the other sleds, this one never gets used. It is a full time job keeping up on all the new stuff and other hobbies plus running a business. Sprint, 1 good one and some cash would work. HAHA

Update, sled no longer has the 75 f/a skis on it anymore, so the price has been adjusted accordingly. Includes the original 73' magnum skis only. Asking $4,000.

Widened to Rupp specs? Like a bulletin? Where can I read this? Are extra wide lower panels like this available from someone today? Sorry lots of questions don't mean to highjack your thread. I cant buy yours but I might want to widen one I have.
Thanx.

No problem at all. Yes, there was a factory bulletin sent out on how to widen the front ends of these sleds. I will see if I can find a copy and email it to you (message me your email adress). There were a bunch of bulletins about pipe mods, porting etc on these sleds that I have. The original owner of mine did the fiberglass work himself to the original panels. Alot of guys put rubber or leather "bellows" over the widened spindle to keep the snow out and attached it to the original side panels.

i have the extra wide lower 73 magnum panels in stock. i have that bulletin also if you cant find one. i think rupp did every thing they could to keep those magnums out front. especially in '74 when they didnt offer a factory race sled.
