I
HAVE MY OWN OPINION ON THIS
1970
DAUPHIN D6000 SNOWMOBILE.
I BELIEVE THAT THIS SLED
WAS PRODUCED IN SMALL NUMBERS.
1970
DAUPHIN D6000 SNOWMOBILE
OWNER
IS STEVE BECKER
1970
DAUPHIN D6000 SNOWMOBILE
YEARS
AGO I WAS TOLD THAT A 1970 DAUPHIN MODEL D6000
WAS
NOT A PRODUCTION SNOWMOBILE MODEL THAT DAUPHIN
EVER MADE.
I
QUESTIONED WHY THEN WAS IT IN THE BROCHURE?
I
WAS TOLD THAT THE BROCHURE HAD IT LISTED BUT IT WAS NEVER PRODUCED.
AFTER
THAT CONVERSATION, I WENT TO WORK ON FINDING ADS THAT DID PROVE IT WAS
BUILT AND AVAILABLE TO CONSUMERS IN LIMITED NUMBERS.
I
KEPT HEARING THAT PEOPLE DID SEE THIS MODEL IN ACTION IN THE PAST AND HOPED
THAT ANOTHER
1970 DAUPHIN D6000 SNOWMOBILE WOULD SHOW UP.
THE
1970 DAUPHIN D6000 SNOWMOBILE PICTURED ABOVE IS DIFFERENT THAT THIS ONE
BELOW.
YOU
SEE, STEVE BECKER OWNS THE FIRST ONE THAT I EVER SAW. THE RESTORED ONE
BELOW IS HIS FIRST.
KEEP
SCROLLING DOWN FOR MORE INFO.

HERE
IS PART OF THE .....
1970
DAUPHIN SNOWMOBILE BROCHURE
THE
BROCHURE CLEARLY SHOWS A 1970 DAUPHIN D6000 MODEL IS AVAILABLE.
IT
SHOWS A 796 CC
ENGINE ON THE BROCHURE.
ALTHOUGH
IT SAYS 796 CC ENGINES, IT WAS A 793 CC ENGINE AVAILABLE.
TYPICALLY
THE BROCHURES WERE PRINTED EARLY IN THE YEAR AND MAILED TO
DEALERS
DURING THE SPRING OR SUMMER TO HAVE ON HAND WHEN PEOPLE VISITED THE DEALERSHIP
IN FALL.
THIS
BROCHURE WOULD HAVE BEEN PRINTED EARLY IN 1969.

FOUND ADS FROM THE FALL OF 1969 BUT I AM USING THE ADS FROM JANUARY 1970
BECAUSE THEY ARE BETTER QUALITY.

AARON
ZEOLI SENT ME THIS POSTING FROM VINTAGESLEDS.COM
FROM WAY BACK IN 2013.
WE
HAVE ANOTHER PERSON WHO SAYS THAT THEY SAW A (
DOLFIN ) DAUPHIN TRIPLE CYLINDER SNOWMOBILE
RACING
ON
THE POND WHERE HE LIVED AND BEATING AN ARCTIC CAT KING KAT.
I
CAN SAFELY SAY THERE SHOULD BE NO DOUBT FROM THIS POINT FORWARD THAT THE
1970
DAUPHIN D6000 SNOWMOBILES WERE PRODUCED EVEN IF IT WAS IN SMALL NUMBERS.
STEVE
BECKER HAS SPOKEN TO A MAN IN MICHIGAN. HIS FATHER WAS A DAUPHIN SNOWMOBILE
DEALER.
HE
SAID THAT ( 2
) 1970 DAUPHIN D6000 SNOWMOBILES PASSED THROUGH HIS FATHER'S DEALERSHIP
IN 1969.
HE
SAID THAT THE 793 CC WAS IN SHORT SUPPLY AND VERY HARD TO GET.
IF
YOU HAVE ANY PICTURES OTHER THAN STEVE BECKER'S
2, 1970 DAUPHIN D6000 SNOWMOBILES,
PLEASE
SEND
THEM TO ME. IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
THANKS STEVE FOR THE GREAT
PICTURES !
