1976 Arctic Cat Pantera

[@Indeewoods]

Haha that’s gold right there!!! Love these old comercials. Nothing has changed between now and then other than the technology but people are still testing and trying to make these sleds faster,climb higher and do it more reliably. Great video.

[@MrKingkat]

Still would like have one now in 2023. 😎

[@Gearhead7687]

I have a 1976 fan-cooled. Old school "muscle car" sound. You just fall in love with these sleds!!!!

[@dawsonwerth135]

i have a 1976 pantera it was my dads grampas and now i have to get it running good for this year

[@mikeevanoski5098]

i had my first sled, 1971, dad and uncle bought two new 72 cheetahs. best times in the seventies. everyone had a sled. not the same today. people today are jerks.

@0:12-0:13 the narrator talking about how smooth this machine rides as the guys head looks like a bobble head and he goes onto say that Charlie has gone the fastest and will probably ever be the fastest..lol. Love these old videos, bring back these good old simple days

[@curtekstrom9531]

The first Pantera was a Pather Chassis. And a 440 Fan. In '76 the Pantera received its own Chassis that would later be the Platform for the ElTigre' to Transition to.

I never realized how old these are lol. Me and my friends fly around on a 78

[@Turbojeep23]

"he also went faster on a snowmobile than anyone ever has and probably ever will!" i think they greatly underestimated how fast sleds could go 17 years later, like the Thundercat 900 with 175hp and the other big triples of the '90s.

i remember 1970 to 1975 racing the old cats on the lake......good ol'times 440 Puma !

[@xanadujohn79]

I had the Cross Country Cat. 500 cc F/A. A good sled except for the grouser bar track, and F/A motor, Ran like shit over 35 degrees. Still a fun sled to learn on.

The Free Air run awesome the Colder it gets. Sub Zero Air getting sucked into those carbs, and you have a Monster on your hands.

[@ThePretzelHead]

I'm wondering when a commercial like this would have been played?

[@TheMaxx111]

Those Minnesota accents!

[@TheTurkeyhunter13]

I'm buying a 1978 this week! :)

[@skyypilot]

No warmers on mine. I do believe that was optional only.

[@mzklvr73]

are you selling any older cats or other sleds-very much interested-thanks

[@quincee33]

what's the difference between a Panther & a Pantera? is the Jag lower end or higher than the pantera? i remember the El Tigre being the top of the line sled from Arctic-Cat

[@davetownsend821]

QJR33. lower
