Vintage snowmobile collector Jerry McGee is going to pare down the size of his amazing collection, and he’s starting with his Arctic Cats.
If you were looking to land some of the most-rare and classic race sleds in Arctic Cat history, now’s your chance.
McGee (who’s pictured in both images) lives in Whitefield, N.H., and he’s been collecting sleds for nearly two decades.
Here is the list of machines he’s selling:
–1975 Arctic Cat 650 Sno Pro/PDC (this was Dave Thompson’s race sled!)
–1976 Arctic Cat 440 Sno Pro (according to Jerry, most people believe this was Larry Coltom’s original 250, but is currently fitted a 440 engine).
–1977 Arctic Cat Sno Pro 440 with leaf spring front suspension and a quad-plug motor which is very rare. (Jerry hasn’t been able to confirm the history of this machine. It’s styled as Thompson’s sled.)
–1977.5 Sno Pro 440 with the mid-season addition of IFS front suspension (according to Jerry, this was Larry Coltom’s sled).
–1978 Sno Pro 440 History unknown
–1980 Sno Pro 340 Built from NOS parts that Steve Olsen acquired after Arctic Enterprises auction. It has used crank and track, and everything else is NOS.
–1981 Sno Pro 340. This is believed to be Jim Dimmerman’s race sled, although there is uncertainty about it. It does have a serial #/VIN tag, however, no other ’81 that he’s seen has a VIN tag to compare with (including Bob Elsner’s sled at the SHOF).
–1981 Twin Track prototype (below). This machine is one of the handful of various twin-trackers built by Roger Gage at Arctic Enterprises, but never raced. It was restored by Steve Olsen, with finishing touches performed by McGee.
McGee is handling all sales privately. If you’re interested in any of these, shoot him an email by clicking HERE.
I think that twin-track sled is just what I need for the 2011 WOBLE ride to Waconia.
If you buy and bring it to WOBLE, I will award you with a very special prize. The airfoil is ideally suited to WOBLE-like speeds.
At least you wouldnt have to take on a passenger when someone breaks down Charlie!
Jerry McGee is a stand up guy and has a wonderful collection. He’s as honest as the day is long. Jerry purchased several of sleds from my previous collection. Jerry, I wish you the best. I wish I were younger and could still get around, I’d love to collect again………..Mike Farris
The 73′ EXT behind the twin track gets my heart bangin’!
I thought there was only one or two of those twin tracks. That must be a recent purchase for McGee. I sure hope one of them makes it to Catfest.
HONEY!!! I just picked up a new mailbox for the house. OK!!
Would it be better for these collections to remain in private hands or would it be better if Arctic Cat started scooping them up?
McGee has owned that twin track for the last 15 years or so, nothing new
“I wish I was a billionaire so, (edit bad word) bad…..”
I’d buy them all! : )
Glad to see this sled restored. I designed and built this sled in my spare time when I worked at Team Arctic. There only was one built and the only person that ever drove it other than myself was Jimmy Dimmerman. It was a little hard to stear with the small steering wheel but went around the corner like it was on a rail. Its weight kept it from being competitive so we never raced it. Of the 5 Twin tracks I built, this one was the only one that realy worked as planned.

Not sure this is the place to put this but I just noticed that Allen is reegsterid for the Yukon Quest next year.Will Aliy hold back her team for the Iditarod or will Allen get to use a couple of the Red Team dogs?Or, does SP Kennel have enough dogs to run the Yukon with a team that will not be used in the Iditarod?

How much for the ‘76 440 Sno Pro?
Hi there I own the same 1976 but it has the number 20 the same sled but has a 440 liquid cooled that the talk is that there is maybe 2 of these engines would you have any info on it
I know this post is a few years old. Would anyone have an idea on where the 76 or 77 model Cross Country Cats might be? Or does anyone know of one available for restoration?
Finishing restoring a 1965 170 and need something else to help the social distancing.
Thanks
Chester
are any of the sno pro sleds still for sale
