THE OFFICIAL EL TIGRE' OWNER'S THREAD! !

[Rex Rules]

I know where there is a 79,  if anyone is interested I could go pick it up,  not sure on condition?

What do you guys think? I am offered this one @ $100.oo...

Looks like a deal to me, even if the engine is missing.  I'd like to get one like that sometime.  My friend had one just like that in high school around 1998 that was his daily trail rider.

Engine is there, owner says the carbs need tuning...if I had a dollar for every time that phrase has been said..but it supposedly runs. And the bumper & hood seem straight...might be an easy build trail rapist. I have already decided to go buy it, but he's sending more pics this evening.

Yeah I would buy that up as fast as I could.

Any of you guys have a nice rad, snoflap, airbox for that 81 6000 I just got that you would part with.

I've got radiators, there's a good chance I've got an air box, and I might even have a good snowflap.  PM me if interested.

1977 5000 El Tigre that I have owned since new. About 2200 miles, good shape but only runs once in a while.

Sweet, original owner sleds are rare birds!
Post up pics!

Now a question about El Tigre's.

That sled I posted, the 440 I have now bought...

It's a 4 plug 440.

What year does that make it?

EDIT:

OK, Bosscat tells me it's a 75. That right? 3,520 made. Relatively uncommon I'd think- these days.
I'm getting happier by the minute.
OK, the quad plug 440...good? Bad? Indifferent? Lay some knowledge on me.

It's a 75 quad plug which are desirable and I love them.
