Last November we burned up the interwebs when Kale posted a walk-around video of an unmolested, dusty, and yet to be set-up 2001 Arctic Cat Z440 Sno-Pro our friends at Thomas Sno Sports unearthed. Today we might have just trumped that buggy with this 2005 F6 Special Edition Black Widow Firecat. For reference, the Firecat and later the Crossfire, offered several special edition packages throughout the 2000s. In 2005 the Black Widow was one of four special edition packages that included a Joke package, a Team Arctic version, and a Retro. This Black Widow currently resides in Winnipeg, Manitoba is a backroom “leftover” from a former Arctic Cat dealership in the area. What’s more, it will be going up for sale this spring. Now I wouldn’t normally turn this place into a garage sale site, but given how damn cool this is and also because the owner was gracious enough to take a walk around video for me, I figured I could return the favor. Serious buyers can reach out with an email – no tire kickers! – berniemchabot@gmail.com
I hope you guys enjoy this buggy as much as I did…drool on kids.
I snow checked one identical to that. It was a tough decision between the Black Widow and Retro. Have 4500 miles on it. Preserving it to be my vintage ride. Curious what the last 4 VIN# are. Mine is 3187. Always wondered how many of this model was built. 700’s were more popular.
Snow checked a 05 F7 Retro EFI. That was 5 sleds ago. (Have a 24 Catalyst now). I see the steering recall has been done to this one. The fuel tank recall has not.
Very, very cool! Long live the Firecats.
Awe man. This one pegs the temptation meter.
Cool 0 mi. Black widow for sure!
I was wondering if you (Pat) or anyone?can find and show production numbers for the firecats for 2005? and 2004?
I’ve come across the prod. numbers for 2003 on various forums over the years and find them very interesting!
but they just seem so elusive for the other years,
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks
So what did it sell for?
