When a couple of sleds are this dang sexy, I just can’t help throwing a picture up. These are both in the Snowmobile Hall of Fame. I believe both belong to The Krueger family. Thanks to Loren Anderson for sharing the photo – including the top secret one I cannot show just yet….
Speaking of the Hall, the latest issue of Supertrax magazine has a blurb on the Jerry Bunke 1978 440-X RXL in the hall of fame. It features a GREAT photo of the sled (That’s your poster hall of fame! Sell copies of that photo!) but the story has some details incorrect about the sled. I hate to get nit-picky about this stuff, but I can’t let it go…… For the record, what is pictured is not a “1978 Starfire”. It is in fact, a 1978 440X RXL (that’s why the RXL logo is on the hood!). It is one of only 3 made. It does not have a 1978-1979 hood on it. That’s a 1978 hood. The 1979 hood had a windshield, and a 3-tone blue paint job. There. I said it. I feel better.
