1974 Thunder Jet 340 F/A


This sled is being built up as a restored 74 Thunder Jet 340, but, some of the parts are completely original. The tunnel is a nice and straight, just a bit of damage to the rear panel. The tunnel actually came out of Ontario. The rest of the parts and pieces were used from the other Thunder Jet projects I picked up (Original track, original suspension, original seat). You can see it in the Restorations section as well.

In this case, I'm using a reproduction hood and belly-pan as well as reproduction skis. I need to find some handlebars, and I should be able to get it all together. The engine is also rebuilt and ready to go. Stock 74 340 XA engine, with the original Mikuni Butterflies, and the ultra rare air breather to go with it.

If you look closely, you'll see our 1933 Case Tractor in the background. Yes, the same tractor we used almost 20 years ago to haul my 74 SST out of the shed. The Case is now restored. You can also see the little Honda ATC trike, I put a lot of miles on that when I was growing up.

This is the bare tunnel to start, specifically the one on the right. The tunnel on the left is another project. A 72 340 Thunder Jet.
