1974 Polaris TX 250

What was your intended objective when you started the build?

I intended on restoring it.

What motivated you to start your project?

My friends all bought vintage sleds, so I had to join the cool kids club too.

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

I had the hood decal remade in flannel print.

What are you most proud of?

The fact that I bought a non-running sled, and got it running and riding with the help of my friends and family.

 

What do other people say about your sled?

That it’s unique and is definitely my sled.
