Wow! What a find. I have been wanting to get hold of a Bravo for years. Even though I have never owned one, I have always had a soft spot in my heart for them. I am sure it is well gone by now, but I would have definitely been interested in that one. Man, there was soooo much good stuff in there. If I had the room (and money) I would probably scarf up a few of those old beasts. Love the older sleds.
@@3gsgarage117 It is a shame that it is getting so difficult to find fully intact Bravos anymore. I really wish they shill made them. Just something special about banging around on an old school one-lunger.😂
I had one 15 yrs ago and it was great, so fun and good for the kids, i sold it off and regret it badly, cant find another good one unkess i pay way to much
@@sendit1158 I recently picked up a really fun little sled, a Yamaha Inviter. Had a blast on it during the one week of winter we had. I know what you mean about the pricing. Just goes to show that people still want these kinds of machines. I just wish someone still made simple one lunger sleds yet. I think there is still a place for them, even in today's world.
My first sled was a 1978 Yamaha GS 340 back in 1982 when I bought it at 15 years old. Just found another one two years ago at 56 years old. Been looking for one to restore for a long time. Been a Yamaha fan since way back then. You found some awesome treasures in that Barn.
Nice I would love to get my hands-on an old Enticer I've been looking for the last 20 years for a clean one. The red one you have in there that's the sled I had as a child And you know you're always chasing things that you had as a child that brought you enjoyment.
That’s awesome!! What a trip looking at all those old school sleds. It’s better than a museum if ya ask me. You struck gold buddy. Good choice you made without taking it all lol. Stick with what ya know.
Awesome find man! First the SRX's and now these, lucky dog. You picked the two best sleds out of the bunch for sure. That '80 is beautiful. I'd be proud to own it. If you ever wanted to part ways with it I'd be interested. I'm on the other side of the pond from you. The '78 looks pretty good too. If you got her running good you could probably get around $1200 bucks out it, but you probably already know that. Thanks for sharing this video.
I know, I couldn't believe when he told me he had 100 vintage sleds!! Almost couldn't sleep 😀. $1200 was exactly the number I was calling that 78 at when I get it running. Thanks for watching!!
I seen a place like this in IOWA not saying where .. but it was a full hog house of sleds including a chap firebird 3 with independent front suspension triple cylinder
My Uncle has an old Yamaha 643 , high / low range , 20 inch wide track , sitting outside covered up , drove it to where it’s parked , was pretty fast , only 643 I’ve ever seen
If that is the dairy barn near Kohler, WI I’ve been in there and it is amazing. There was a nice Moto-Ski Sonic in there that I was drooling over. Unbelievable collection. This was probably 15 years ago.
This was up in Bonduel WI. You definitely have my attention though. Dairy barn near Kohler?? Wonder who owns that and if there is still sleds there?? Thanks for watching!!
I bought 89 yam ovation 340 $50 last year in great condition because he couldn’t get it started. I just need to carb clean first and Alaska deal I probably ever get like that😂
They're out there yet!! We fixed up our first ever ovation for this coming season to use as a vintage trail rider. Eager to see how it is to ride compared to the old Enticers which share the same engine. Thanks for watching!!
Nice score on the viper! Not sure if you got the dash to go, need 12 volts and a ground to get it to read, it should have a ECU that would need to be powered to read the dash unless they did not put them in those models. Filming was great, but at times the camera needed to slow down!
You should’ve kept one of the srx 440s and put the liquid cooled motor in the 78 exciter! Chop down the windshield and black it out, then hang on! Sleeper sled…My father bought a 78 srx brand new and I remember the night he brought it home as clear as day. That sled was “ The King” in our area for years right up until the Indy 650 came out. Then I bought a 95 Vmaxx 800 new piped it studded it and…. It was the new king. Love my Yamahas. Can’t believe they are going out of the snowmobile business.
A couple of nice Yammies. I'm surprised by the number of Evinrude and Johnsons. I work a few doors down from where they were built. It's a plastic car parts factory now.
Nothing is running is as far as I know. He's outside of Bonduel WI, and from what I understand there will be an auction this coming spring of 2024. Thanks for watching!
Does anybody even realize how bad ass Rupp would be today if they could have survived. More than likely fast as hell and mean looking. Think about it: 2023 Rupp 850, turbo, EFI, Sno=Pro. Whooop, Whhhoooooop!
That would be so cool! It would be neat even if one of the current manufacturers got the rights to build a modern tribute to a company like Rupp. Maybe some day. Thanks for watching!!
I only grabbed the two exciters, so everything else you see was still there some months back when we were there. They could all be yours!! Thanks for watching!

Yeah it was crazy! We took a good look at the bravo and quite a bit of it had been dismantled. We've always liked those as well. Thanks for watching!!

The first sled I purchased was a 76' Arctic Cat Jag 2000. Black hood, Gray graphics, free air. Right in the same vintage as your sleds. Good times.
Awesome! So many great sleds and things going on in snowmobiling back in that era. Must've been a great time!
What a find, however I didn't see any RUPP's in that find. Yes. I'm an old Rupp guy along with my son.
Rupp Yankee 340 at 2:32
My grandfather owned Ludlow Powersports in Massachusetts he was a Rupp dealer. He has a bunch of them in crates still and some in immaculate condition

Absolutely! The same reason I still drive the same make/model car my parents bought new when I was 10 years old. Thanks for watching!!

Thanks a lot for watching man!! Got a basement full of old yamaha parts, and definitely stick to what I know best lol!!
Love it, I would love a few of those Scorpions, has he sold them all?
I'm from Greenland, this drop my jaw!!!
Look like there is an arctic cat Z 340 or 440 😳 Wish he had a 77 or 78 SRX. Great find guys.
I don't know my cats but I wouldn't be surprised! Thanks for watching!
I have a 78 srx 440. One of the baddest old dogs I have right next to the rv blizzard 7500.

i had a "78 exciter in high school, great machine!
Yes sir!! Awesome little sleds! Thanks for watching!
My brother had an 80 440, my other brother had a 78 340. He currently has a mint low mileage 85 srv and a 2000 phazer he just restored
Oh man, awesome sleds!
I seen a place like this in IOWA not saying where .. but it was a full hog house of sleds including a chap firebird 3 with independent front suspension triple cylinder
I’m looking my first sled
It was a late 70s merc 340 trail twister I’m pretty sure there was one in that bunch

Hi sir can you tell me if you saw any bombardier sled or skiroule sled... thank you and a great catch.
I honestly can't recall. I'd have to go back and carefully watch the video. Thanks for watching!

Thanks much for the input! Got the things we wanted off the viper and sent her down the road. Appreciate the comment!!
Im picking up Harley Davidson sled s this week
Sweet! Those are cool sleds!!
Nice find!!!
Thanks for watching!!
Nice sleds keep it !!!
Thanks for watching!!
I saw an old two headlight Evinrude Bobcat just like the one my dad had for a bit.
Did you aquire any Chaparral SSX 440's? I'm interested in one.
No, sorry. We only took the 2 exciters and the viper home. Thanks for watching though!
I was Looking for a BLUEMAX Speedway 650 or any RUPP Nitro's 72 and up.
Im looking for a exciter 440 like that white one...any idea of where to find one?
By the time i could say wheres the Chapparall? there it was.
440 exciters are fun sleds
You should’ve kept one of the srx 440s and put the liquid cooled motor in the 78 exciter! Chop down the windshield and black it out, then hang on!

Maybe someday we'll do a sled build like that! It would be fun to have a real sleeper. Thanks for watching!!
Cool sleds you.picked up
Where is guy from? Did he have any nice cat stuff?
Thanks! He is from Bonduel WI. Nothing really rare or interesting I didn't think. All the stuff had been sitting for a long time.
VGG is awesome and I'm a huge snowmobile fan. Yep. I definitely subscribed 😆
Thanks for watching and subscribing!!
Awesome looking sleds
Thanks! We were thrilled to find these. Thanks for watching!!
Where are these sleds located
Sooo sick they’re all beauts
Yeah! It was so cool to see them all. Thanks for watching!!
cool old stuff
Yeah, it was a trip being there in person. Thanks for watching!
A couple of nice Yammies. I'm surprised by the number of Evinrude and Johnsons. I work a few doors down from where they were built. It's a plastic car parts factory now.
I was surprised by the number of them as well. The guy must've had a thing for those. Cool! Thanks for watching!
Had a 340 Speedway and a SnoBug
Does he have any more running snowmobiles left and whereabouts is this guy
Nothing is running is as far as I know. He's outside of Bonduel WI, and from what I understand there will be an auction this coming spring of 2024. Thanks for watching!
Nice racer on the lift it’s the SRX 433?
Great video
Thanks for watching!
Any Mercs in that lot? That would be a great find.
The was at least 1, but no twisters. Honestly not many really sought after gems in there... Thanks so much for watching!!
Does anybody even realize how bad ass Rupp would be today if they could have survived.
More than likely fast as hell and mean looking.

Love me some chrome skis!
Some cool finds.
Thanks, we sure thought so too! Thanks for watching!!
Where are these sleds located? Interested in some.
Bonduel Wisconsin
Man you don’t know how bad I’d like to put a concrete pad around the shop on the outside as well for running a fork lift
Are they still there
Lucky to beat Larry to that enticer
That black exciter was my first sled. I’d like to buy it and run it with my kids if you want to sell it? I’ll take the drive.
I think I'm going to keep her at this point, and run it a time or two up north on the trails. I'll keep you posted if I decide to sell it.
Awesome.
Thanks for the comment, and for watching! Glad you enjoyed it!!
Viper is an 02 the first year. All vipers are 700cc. Venoms were 600s
Thanks!!
The Yamahas will be the first to sell for a good reason.
I am looking for a 78 Yamaha Exciter 440 that dad had what would you take for it
Where are you from?
@@3gsgarage117 I am in Georgia but from Michigan looking to move back to Michigan
