This Rupp F/A needs a total re-build but it is all there except for a track. Motor is apart and I have acquired the new jug and head that it needed. It will also need bearings I think.

This is a project sled and therefore priced right at $750.00

Call with questions.

Thanks for bringing that to my attention!

Hard to believe that specific sled has already been in and out of my possession once in the last year, and may be coming this way again. I acquired it from "sledaholic" about a year ago with two liquid Nitro parts sleds. Shortly after that (three weeks) I stumbled into a restored 75 Nitro F/A (the one in my avatar pic) in Westby, Wisconsin that I bought and picked up in Michigan from some friends who got it that far for me.
Not needing two 75 F/A 440's I eventually traded it for a '72 Roll O Flex Comanche 292 (very nice) from Todd Smith of Errol, who was going to race it. He eventually stumbled into a Cat EXT he wanted and traded the F/A and some other stuff to Rick Simula. Rick put it up for sale and the current owner from Dudley, Mass. bought it (just happens to be a good friend of mine).
A well traveled restoration candidate in the course of about a year.
I am considering getting it back to fix up and race in the new Mod class in the Great North Woods Vintage Race Series next winter. It is no show sled and should be very competitive if brought back to life properly. Having a good one to look at and analyze should help.
Aren't you sorry you brought that up! LOL!
