found a kristi and a snow toaster

just out looking around today and found a couple of cats sitting in a private "junk yard". the snow toaster can be seen from the highway if you are looking, and there is a bike path that goes within a couple feet of it. i went down the path to get a better look and spotted deeper in the yard what i think is a kristi kt-2. the thiokol is in pretty good shape, only the back door window is broken, differential is dry and clean, track belting looks good too as well as the sprockets. the body is orange with no visible damage. i think it has been sitting in its current location on a flatbed truck for many years. the kristi if that is in fact what it is, is hard to see. i looked around for photos to compare to and i think it is a kt-2. has a sloping back door, and looks like a bathtub. really cant see it too well, but the tracks look rough and i dont think there is a back door on it.
the owner of this "yard' has tons of old cars, trucks, heavy equipment parts and such, probably the kind of guy that wont sell anything. but just out of curiosity, what are the two machines worth? i would doubt that either of them has moved in at least 10 years.

The KT2 was the first introduced design that Kristi sold . It indeed had a sloped back window design . It was upgraded to a KT3 very quickly as the KT2's were not easy to get into .

As far as worth . If the engine is frozen and most are because the exhaust vented straight up allowing water to drain into the engine heads ,Thens it a parts rig . I would say anywhere from $400- $1000 depending on how complete it is . The two valuable parts are the transmission and Clam shells . Kristi designs only .Those were made by Kristi and very hard to find . I had a fella a while back looking for transmission and track guides .
You might contact the owner and see if he wants to sale them . I am sure someone would be interested for the parts alone .
