What did it end up going for? Last time i looked at it it was around 3 grand or so. The expensive part would be trying to piece in a couple more motors. Man some day the rupp dragster needs to ACTUALLY be finished up and shown off. Now that is an amazing piece of rupp history that seems to be almost hidden away during its so called restoration. Has he even started working on that thing?

NSSR has an exhibition class, run what ya brung? This bargain could turn into a money-sucking flop. I might put 2 75 F/A ski's on it and call it the Super SnoSport II. I won't ask for anyone's approval if I do.

Awesome Mark!!! Wow, jealous that you don't procrastinate on a great deal like I do! Room for a small american made V6 Maybe? Crotch Rocket mill with gears? COOOOLLLL! Make sure you send invites when you test that baby out, love to see the Chute Popping out after a successful run, I'll be in charge of the Brewskis and use my valuable vacation time to run on up to see. Not a bad wrench either if you need some help with it. Still Kickin my self in the Arsh for not sticking with Farming when I got out of HS, LOL!

Hey , I just have to know... what did they ask you at the border ?? They were cool, 3 am. I helped them define it. Frame tag says 1989, so it's vintage. Engines were removed so its a vintage parts snowmobile. Paid the taxes and waltzed home.

Nice score! I like the idea of the name. Think a person could take a couple northstars and make them look kind of like rupp? Might be a little stronger than the originals.

I was just kidding about the ski's. I don't see how I can replace anything on this with Rupp parts. The guys that designed and built this are light years ahead of me, I'm not going to change it. To be competitive, it'll need more oomph than it had.More cubic inches is a start.

What was the fastest they had it up to in 1000' ??

165? Something like that. I'm waiting for the seller to send me the history of it. The motors were removed when the builders/owner gave up. I think it either lacked enough power or traction,or both. 1000' comes up quickly. Remember that Jaws III had 3 motors, not 2.

Two new turbo motors would be perfect for that chassis
