SKI DOO SNOWMOBILE
Located
in Charlottesville, Virginia
Hi
David. I am originally from Michigan and learned to love playing in the
snow so
I
set out to have a snowmobile when it snows in Virginia.
I
currently live in Charlottesville, VA. The pictures were taken in our front
yard during
our
ONLY snow the winter of 2020 :(
My
older brother who lives in Michigan, owed me some money and I told him
if he bought me a sled, we would call it even.
Usually,
whenever I see a Ski Doo on Craigslist, they are gone in 10 seconds.
So
I settled for a Moto Ski. When I called the guy to make arrangements to
buy it, he explained how he was trying to sell
several
sleds, to make room for new ones. I inquired about what he had. Part of
his list was a 1965 Ski Doo.
He
said he was Christmas shopping with his wife, and would call me back when
he got home, but warned that the
price
would be FIRM. He said, $800.00, I said, sold, and my brother will be there
in 1/2hr.
My
brother went to get the Ski Doo in a snow storm, December 2017.
I
went home for a Christmas and trailered it home to Charlottesville VA.
It
started out in Lapeer, MI, bought by someone in Ortonville, MI, and now
has a home in Virginia.
Originally
it came from Bill Coller’s Marine and Camping Supplies, Lapeer, MI. - Chris

CHRIS FOR THE GREAT PICTURES !
