The 1973 Ski-Doo T'NT Silver Bullet 340. I bought this sled about 4 years ago for $100 U.S. and put about $500 U.S into it to restore it. It has new crank seals, rings, gaskets(OEM Ski-Doo gaskets), track, lights and paint. I ride this sled every time there is good snow, and occasionally on grass during shows. This sled had only 1200 miles on it when I bought it, it now has 1870 miles on it. I found the top speed on my sled to be 75mph on flat ground, and got it up to 90(thats what the Mach-Zs speedo showed, not mine) going downhill along side my uncle's tricked-out 95 Mach-Z 780. He left me in the dust on the straitaways though! The great thing about this sled is the attention you get while ridding such a classic, and the fact that it can go places the new 600lb trail sleds couldnt dream of going.
