1972 Arctic Cat Panther

What was your intended objective when you started the build?

Mainly just to get it running

What motivated you to start your project?

Found my grandpas original 1972 arctic cat on Craigslist and my wife bought it for me because she knew of the fond memories I had with my grandparents on it.

What was the most unique and creative thing you did to the sled?

Nothing really creative Just proud of how it turned out!!

What are you most proud of?

All my research and time sourcing parts paid off and I have a piece of my childhood to enjoy.

What do other people say about your snowmobile?

It’s a beauty!!

    Amazing! Excellent job. I am interested to know if you had to do anything inside the engine to get her to run. And if you did, how did you get parts? We have one of these that will pop, but won’t run on its own.

    Can I simply say what a aid to search out somebody who actually knows what theyre speaking about on the internet. You positively know the way to deliver an issue to light and make it important. Extra folks have to read this and perceive this facet of the story. I cant believe youre not more fashionable since you undoubtedly have the gift.

    I’ve owned several of the Wankel Panthers. If the engine was well maintained they are surprisingly durable. We had good luck with them. Wish I had my last one back.
