There is \nan impressive array of machines, including sleds from the four surviving \nmajor brands--Polaris, Ski-doo, Yamaha, and Arctic Cat--and many other \nwell-known names like Ariens, Bolens, Evinrude, and Johnson, and even \nsome obscure names like Roll-O-Flex and Dauphin. In addition to the \nprofiles, there are background features on “Snowbikes” through the \nyears, a look at “rebadging,” and an in-depth flashback to the fabulous \nfactory speed run and stock racing wars of the early 1970’s.\n\nThe Golden Age of snowmobile manufacturing was from 1968-1976 with a \ngradual slow down leading to 1982. During this time literally hundreds \nof snowmobile manufacturers sprung up and then disappeared.\n\nThis book is a look at all the most interesting, rare, or collectible \nsnowmobiles from that time period. The big names like Arctic Cat, \nPolaris, Ski-Doo, Yamaha, John Deere, Scorpion, Snow-Jet, Mercury, Rupp, \nMoto-Ski, to the many small-company brands like Allied, Boa Ski, \nChaparral, Evinrude, Harley Davidson, Johnson, Polaron, Sears, Skiroule, \nSno Prince, Viking, and even includes a chapter of collectible racing \nsnowmobiles in the hobby, like the 1977 Arctic Cat Z that turned Arctic \nCats racing program around, and treasures like a 1973 Chaparral grass \ndrag sled or a 1974 Roll-O-Flex called The Wild One.\n\nThis book would be a benefit to anyone interested in sleds from this \ntime period or looking to buy a more collectible sled from this era.","brand":"MidlifeClassicCars.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45128397259032,"sku":"KIT14458\/B05346","price":87.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/9813\/3831\/files\/kit14458b05346.jpg?v=1775771430","url":"https:\/\/www.midlifeclassiccars.com\/en-de\/products\/vintage-snowmobiles-snowmobilings-golden-era-v1-the-golden-years-1968-1982","provider":"MidlifeClassicCars.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
