Just curious norge, what model snow-mobile is that in the photo? Is it a military surplus vehicle or commercial model? And where can I get one?! :D

the snow mobil was left here when i was a kid by the usmc.
they bougth a bunch from a local bombardier seller here in norway
and painted them snow camo.
when the exersice was ended they couldnt take them back since they didnt want to pay
the tax for bringing them to the usa,so they gave them away for free :D :D
my dad gott this one in the early 80s when i was a kid and he kept it for me al those years
but it have been badly used by the marines so i had to search for parts and fixed it for years.
im not shure about the year model since they stripped them for data plates and other
fancy stuff like the wind shield.

i dont know where you can gett one like this but the norwegian army sells old polaris snow mobiles
sometimes,but theyre worse than mine...and cost nearly as much as a new civillian one. :shock:

cheers from ken
