Great video, love to see the old sleds. My grandfather had a sno jet dealership back in the early 70's. My dad had a 72 340 thunder jet, a great sled. Like that you translate the French to English. Keep up the great videos.
Love it, I'm a 70's 80,s kid I had a bubble nose a Olympic a tnt and a silver bullet, also an El Tigre , a 79' txl 340 and a saber jet, along w my favorite, a SNOW PONY
@@mattsws I had the 92 Mach 1 X and the 93 Plus X. A lot of people stopped to talk especially about the black one. Many people would have never seen one as they only made 125. The only other one I have seen in person was one that Pat Shaffer brought to Rockburn several years ago. These were the first year for the 670, they had crankshaft issues and were recalled and replaced with a stock 93 670. I am fortunate to have the non recalled motor on hand. I was also fortunate to have had the sled signed by Wayne Nicholson a few years back, this would have been one of the models that he raced and had good things to say about. Thanks again.
@@peterl2017 Well it was a real pleasure to see the awesome X sleds you brought. I knew about the early 90's X sleds, but this was the first time I have seen them in person. Like I mentioned in my video, my only "new" sled I had every bought was a 1990 Mach 1 that was fitted with 1992 seat and hood. Basically it was a 1992 with a 583... I bought the sled when I was 18-19 years old and the sled was about 10 years old at that point. It was fun, but broke down literally every time I used it... I quickly went back to vintage machines!!! It was great speaking with you and I am glad you enjoyed the vid!! Take care!
Hi Matt. New subscriber to your channel. I grew up in Labrador City and the ski-doo was the machine back then. Love your content. I’m living on the island of Newfoundland now and not much snow. Love the vintage sleds. We also have a RUclips channel and I know the work it takes to put out content. Keep well and I’ll be watching. All the best…..Paul
Hi Paul! Thank you so much for the sub and the nice comment. I'm glad you are enjoying my videos! I checked out your channel and we definitely have some similar interests!! I have a couple vintage Honda projects that I would like to film eventually. You might get a kick out of those! Take care and stay tuned!
🎉🎉🎉fantastic🎉🎉 your humility and curiosity are refreshing! Thanks a lot…new subscriber. My first was a 72 Olympique one cylinder. It shook itself apart
I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I’m going to try and start the snowmobile tinkering a little earlier this year. Last year I didn’t get enough done before all the snow melted!
Just found your channel, was sent by Let's Fix Something! and I've been really enjoying everything you posted so far. I've got 2 Wankel Arctic Cats and recently acquired 72 Olympique 399e. I appreciated the second you took to look at that 300, it's really cool to see what a clean one looks like. Looking forward to this seasons sled content, especially vintage rides!
Well, I appreciate the reference and glad you enjoy my content!! I was actually going to cut that scene, but then I literally said to myself that I’m sure some guys are going to enjoy seeing such a nice survivor. Might remind them of a childhood family sled or something. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Take care!
I love that 440cc is big. Ohhhh.😲😲 Jacques Villeneuve is well known for formula and Indy car racing. This must be Canada. In the US the word you were looking for was more diverse machines. Ahh, French. I was right. I'm old and when the El Tigre came out I was in love. Like a snow Corvette. Was that a DWW reference? My neighbors had a blizzard, and and Elan and another 2 cylinder red one I didn't see in the video. The funny thing is the single cylinder Elan did 50+.
@@mattsws Thanks for replying. It fees futile commenting when you don't know if the OP is reading them. I understand it gets to a point where you can't comment or read them all. Was that "Good trade." comment a Dances with Wolves reference?
Nice work Matt! It’s hard to talk smart about particular sleds when it’s not your thing. Nice job tip toeing on that one. It’s cool you talked to some of these guys too. Tells a great story. Another quality video.
Yeah I’m used to just yapping away, but I found myself surrounded by machines I know virtually nothing about and I am well aware that the video will be watched by guys who know everything about them… I said what I knew and let the filming show the rest. Thanks for the comment! Take care!
In my defense, check out my 2021 video and see how biased I was with only skidoo coverage. I made an effort to cover more brands this year, but you are right, I jumped over the Zzzs pretty fast! Lol! Thanks for watching!
@@mattsws No, I don't know what it is, but I did sit on it and it was definitely a mcculloch kart engine. I'm pretty sure it was stamped MC-7 which is a 100cc's.
Love the vintage stuff.
Yeah it’s pretty great! Thanks for watching!!!

Epic sleds.
Yes sir!
They old vintage sleds are truly a work of art when restored! Could stare at them all day!
They sure are!
Great video !
I grew up with several sleds.
One of my favorite was an early 70s Mercury Hurricane. Was fast.
Thanks a lot! Gotta love fast sleds!!!
Thanks for a trip down memory lane :)
Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching!
Great show,,,,I had a rv 245 still my favorite sled ,I think the best looking
I can definitely agree with that!!! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video!
My pleasure. Thanks for watching!

Those are exactly the type of sleds we have in our club’s vintage runs! Thanks for watching!!
Thanks Matt for documenting the show, and for taking interest, stopping to talk about my sled.
It was a fun event and I enjoyed making a video souvenir of it! Thanks for the comment! Which one was your sled???

Cool!
Those Northways produced in the same building has Husky then Bolens FMC in Pointe-Claire on Hymus i know my father was a dealer but not for Northway
Merci pour la vidéo, je m'abonne
Merci!!!!
Matt- you featured a ski doo with opposed Rotax motor . that motor is 371CC and it is a Super Olympic
Yeah the 370 opposed is a 368cc Rotax. They were options in super Olys and Alpines from 67-69.
Have you seen any Suzuki snowmobile?
I think there was one at the show. You don’t see them to often.
Love to find another skiroule. Sold my 440Rtx in '95.....dumb move!
Thats how it always goes….
Only 2 Polaris sleds? Where’s the Homelites?
Guess they weren't that popular in our area back then. You mainly see what was sold back in the days close by... Thanks for watching!
Not a motoski in the bunch?
Yeah I don’t remember seeing any… Surprising!
🤘
Thanks!
I noticed in that snow jet Yamaha motor
You have keen eyes! lol!
I grow up Yamaha dad had a Gp 396 and a gpx338 and a Exciter 440
@@arnoldsshmitter1442 Cool sleds!!
Hi Matt...I'm looking for vintage RV245..skidoo
I see a couple every year for sale. Price is usually between 4-6k…
What, no AMF's
I think there was 1 in 2021, but not this year….
Est ce que tu habite au Canada ou au États Unis ?
Quebec!
@@mattsws cool moi aussi
Umm.. we're ALL pretending we know what we're talking about!! LOL
Lol!!!
Anything but ski doo.
You’re like the opposite of me!! Lol!
Snow Birdie not Bindie!!
Ooops! Guess I can’t read…. Thanks!
If that's the way your club treats visitors. But I guess you are more important than paying visitors. 😕
Not too sure what the problem is? Thanks for watching anyways.
not so fast skipping over those ZZZZZ's please.

@@mattsws There was a early 70's small snowmobile made that used the Mcculloch100cc kart engine, do you know what the manufacturers name was?
@@staatsfiend Are you testing me or do you actually not know the answer?? Unfortunately, I am not familiar with that sled...
@@mattsws No, I don't know what it is, but I did sit on it and it was definitely a mcculloch kart engine. I'm pretty sure it was stamped MC-7 which is a 100cc's.
@@staatsfiend It would be that crazy to use that engine in a small snowmobile...
Back in the early 70's Polaris were called "Blue schoolbus",,,squared off and ugly
I can see why! Thanks for the comment!!
Please at least learn about the Villeneuves. Brothers!?
Gilles and Jacques were brothers.
Its Yamaha not Yams! Nice old SRX and SSR.
Yeah they were nice! Thanks for watching!
Nice show
It sure was!
