Nope,couldn't wait till next year.I got rid of 3 project sleds & 2 parts sleds,plus a pickup load of parts tonight.Finished loading at about 6:15pm.So,my bone yard is free of sleds,ONLY have tunnels,hoods & full fiberglas bottom panels left.Even got rid of my 74 Polaris parts sled.Slowly but surely,I'm winding down.This winter I need to sell 2 of my running sleds,then I'll be sitting good!! I'm FINALLY seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Then I start on my extra parts.Oh,but life is good.

The 1970 Sprint 34 with the Tohatsu TR340,SOLD today!!! AND a YOUNGSTER bought it.Start them early into vintage.He made me an offer,which I accepted.After he left,brought it into the garage & checked it over,replaced the fan belt with new,gave it a compression check,cleaned it up a little,put new spark plugs in it.Also printed out a bunch of literature for him.Also gave him some maintenance tips,adjusting the track,adjusting the carb etc.He was grining from ear to ear when he left. He & his dad will pick it up tomorrow.

Well,the sled is gone!! I drove the sled for 2 years,with no problems,except 1 fouled plug!! When they came today,I told the youngster,your offer was too high & so I giving you $40 back.His face lit up. I looked at all the sleds/parts I have sold & this is ONE TIME I was going to give this young kid a break & hopefully leave a lasting impression on the buying of his first sled & HOPEFULLY it will keep him in this hobby. AFTERALL,this is a HOBBY,NOT a business. I feel good about this & he was happy the way it went down also.

I should still get rid of 2 sleds,but it's a tough decision on which ones.It might be the 2 I'm working on now,the BLUE & BLACK Rupps. I've done all the HARD work on them,just easy stuff now.I'd be willing to let them both go,pretty reasonable!! Email me for details.

I will at least get them in the snow later on,but to really get them finished,I don't know. I'm kinda losing interest in sleds. I had 2 of them out today,it was fun,but not like it was 7 years ago.
