1967 Thiokol Spryte w/~700 hrs on eBay

[Mainer]

This will certainly go to a good home... tempting but I have to exercise discipline!
Looks like it's almost out of a time warp with such low (yet plausible for condition) hours.

Went for $12,689. Not bad for an A Model with no blade at the end of the season.

Test drove this unit in the owners yard TODAY. It has a small 6 cyl Ford that runs pretty good, Has a dual battery set-up, steers pretty good (on grass!), Sprockets, Tires, belting and Grousers all look good. I would say the Track had been rebuilt not too long ago. This was a rescue rig for King County(Seattle) I have no idea why the Scrap guy bought it, but I've known him for 15 years and he usually put's this kind of stuff up at another auction.

I bid on it in the Wa state auction on Ebay. Got a little to high for my blood. Looks like a nice unit.
