    Very interesting. I would fix her up for sure, if not because of the engine, because it's a 1968. Not many of those made due to the factory fire.
    1969 Skiroule S-370.
    1969 Rupp GT300.
    1969 Massey Ferguson Ski Whiz 380.
    1970 Chaparral 300.
    1970 Jac-Trac Sno Bunny.

    Never knew about the factory fire that's interesting.

    Used to list the sled collection here, but slowly and surely that list i getting too long to fit . . .

    Just had to set this 372 the chassis to see how it fit. What a beast! Scorpion still was able to build 6000 sleds for ‘68 . They lost about 1000 engines in the fire. So how many with this option are left?
