1968 Arctic Cat Panther, with factory optional side pipes









rare Montana pipes for Cat owners in the high altitudes, over 6 thousand feet, because they needed higher performance (of course) and the chrome exhaust came with carb mods and clutch work

1929 Ford A Super Snow Bird







This lightweight 8 wheeler was available with 10", 12" or 15" wide tracks. (our truck wears the 15" tracks). It could travel 35 miles per hour. With no body, the lightened vehicle easily traversed deep snow and overcame 5' drifts. It was a favorite of utility workers, doctors and mailmen.

1970 Sno Pac Scatback, made for Green Bay Packer fans





The Sno Pack was produced in Green Bay, WI in 1970 by Leisure-Mor Incorporated as Scatback 20 and Scatback 26 models. They utilized both Kohler and Sachs motors. It is rumored that they were made for the Green Bay Packer football players.



The Scatback models appear to be identical to the 1970 Buzz Ski Zoom, made in Drummondville, Quebec, Canada.

The Flugboot, the flying boat of the Nazis, there was only one, that's why we've never heard of it







German sources, based in part on the testimony of nearby inhabitants and Blohm & Voss employees, claim that the BV 238 V1 was discovered by the RAF between 23 April and 26 April 1945



The Allies were reportedly concerned that Adolf Hitler could use it to escape to South America, and so an attack followed shortly afterwards, and on May 4th they staffed it and sank it

there is a plethora of new car shows, here's one on the Discovery en Espanol, cleverly called Mexicanicos







One of the above is an original 1930 hearse, the other is the first of many replicas built on an F150 chassis, built for the largest funeral home chain in Mexico.







MEXICANICOS, returns to Discovery en Espanol with new restorations and exclusive creations by the talented mechanic Martin Vaca. MEXICANICOS (#mexicanicos) will air on Discovery en Espanol Mondays at 10PM E/7PM P starting November 9 as part of the 'Lunes de motores' programming block, and on the Discovery Channel in Mexico starting November 10.



Whether it's repairing, transforming or building a brand new limousine, hearse or hot rod in his Guadalajara workshop, no project is too big for Martin Vaca and 'Vaca Limousines,' one of Mexico's largest conversion workshops for customized hearses and limousines.



If it has wheels and an engine, we'll take on the challenge."
