Arctic Cat has a long, wonderful history of producing beautiful beasts that reflect the brand’s go-for-it attitude.
One such example is this stunning 1970 Panther 793 that’s part of the Ische family collection.
Packing the sound and fury of a open-piped Hirth 793 triple, this magnificent Panther was one of just 94 produced for the 1970 model year.
I can almost feel the thunder, see the tremor and gasp at the bloody ears of those few owners who fired-up these beasts!
Three kill switches…one for each cylinder!
Why yes, I am thirsty for some more fuel.
Thanks to the Ische family for allowing us to take these photos.
WOW!
Got a sweet cut down seat like the new race sleds….
Gorgeous! Thank you for sharing this piece of Arctic Cat history.

Back in the day when they opened it up did the square tank suck in the sides? Those Hirths were famous for being thirsty.
