just found after being parked since 1988!
Wade Batholomew sent in some photos and this story of his new found treasure: A 1976 Cat Z. Yep, the treasure is still out there!
Well, the story of this sled goes like this: My mom works with a guy and she showed him a picture of my other 76 Z, and he said “Oh I’ve seen one of them next to a barn on the way to my house.”
Well he ended up buying it for $250 and I told him if he didn’t want it I would buy it off of him. Well, he called me up a month later and sold it to me. Now its being restored back to original. Sled has been sitting since 1988, the last owner says. He trail rode it in Michigan, In a town called Glendale. All hood decals are painted on. Ya that’s right. It doesn’t look bad for being painted. It also has cooling fins under the running boards, instead of the radiator. It looks to be all there from there.
Just shows again they are still out there. Look hard.
Thanks – AWESOME WEBSITE!
