Yes it is, its a 74 340E TNT. Right now it has a 440 chrome bore out of a 77 TNT. Geared and clutched to match the engine of course.

Its wrapped up like that because we took it to a show and I don't like it when the paint and windshield gets ruined by the cover.

Jim Jessup · 10-08-2007, 03:19 PM

Some are up in North Bay at my grandparents place. Some are in our back yard covered up. We also have a storage unit that we keep some sleds in.

Nice garage! What's the brown sled?

Tambo521 · 10-08-2007, 03:47 PM

The brown sleds the luxury of all vintage ski-doos lol it's a 640 Nordic ER?? i'm pretty sure...i know it has just about everything you could put on a doo is on it...really nice sled!!

Jim Jessup · 10-08-2007, 04:52 PM

Tambo is correct, its a 73 640 ER Nordic. We have two, one blew a rod bearing and is in need of full restoration. The one in the pic is how we got it except the seat has been recovered. It only has 1400miles on it. We also had to change the track( wasn't dry rotted but had a large rip). We are going to bring it home and get it disassembled and cleaned up(not restored but polish and clean it to with in an inch of its life).
Standard features include...
Speedometer
Tach
Fuel gauge
electric start
reverse
cigerate lighter
chrome skis and shocks

Jim you need a son

I'm older and can work and come with free grand kids and a loving daughter in law. I'll even throw in 2 cats for good measure.

Anyone who has a garage that big just for toys is someone who is high up in the toy contest potential medal winner.
Love your site and all the work you do

Man Rule #3; He who dies with the most toys wins.

Looks like you are well on your way to being the winner here.

Very nice machines!

Jim Jessup · 10-15-2007, 05:55 PM

Thanks for the compliments, evryone!

Jim Jessup · 06-15-2008, 05:08 PM

Here is the latest addition to the garage. Its a 97 Mach 1 700 triple. I saw this one at a vintage sled show last weekend in the swap area and had to have it. I spent all day today polishing it up. It has a fresh top end and came with a few extras. It only has 2700 km on it.

These pictures don't do it justice.

Jim,
Tell me those are not all your garage doors and you live in a complex. You have enough sleds it should be. I'd love to store a sled or two at my house :-) Looks like a great sled. I think i might be selling my 80 Panther still rolling it over in the empty space i call a brain. Looks like it will be a great ride this winter.
