So my grandpa who lives across the street from me bought a 1970 arctic cat puma or panther 634. I'm not sure if its a panther or an puma but he bought it brand new back in 1970 from the local arctic cat dealer. It has 800 original miles on it and it has sat in his garage since 1978 and hasnt been run since. Its real dusty but if cleaned off it would look mint. What do you guys think it would take to get running again? I really want to hear this beast of a sled. My grandpa told me its a loud SOB. and plus he wants to restore it. so what do you guys think?

You should restore it, what a great thing to do for gramps.
Shouldnt be too hard to restore.
Plenty of parts around, you can find parts for the 634 Hirth if needed.
It must be a big Mouth hood, probably a panther
Does it have Montana pipes?

Definately a good piece of history you have there. The original Montana pipes are coveted so if they are in good shape and the sled is also you have a very nice sled that will have collectors knocking at your door.

i bet it needs the fuel system cleaned, new fuel lines, carb cleaned or rebuilt, and maybe the points cleaned or replaced.
i wish my grandpa bought sleds that cool, im restoring his sled now, its a 73 ski-doo TNT 340 silver bullet.

my grandpa was tellin me that this summer its my project to fully restore it. Its got race pistons in it right now. he said it needs new gaskets, carb cleaned and new jets. Ill put new fuel lines on it and clean out the gas tank real well and put new plugs in it, oil and everything cuz i want to hear this thing runs and work. he said it has LOTS of power

I have a 1971 634 Puma (not a mod) that I'm thinking of selling. Not much snow here in MD. It is in like new condition. I'm not sure how much to ask. I paid $2500 for it.

In perfect condition I'd say it's worth somewhere between $1500 and $2000. If it needs any work at all, subtract that from the value. IMO of course.
I have a 80 Blizzard 7500+ and I'd say it's in fair condition but not perfect. IMO it's worth $750 cause it runs and looks decent.

vintage 1971 puma 634 mod
I have a 1971 puma 634 hirth mod and I was told that they are very rare so I was wondering how much one would be worth? I am not selling it just curious of its value.

Well if so then it's worth the spend you paid. I wouldn't have thought it'd have that value. IMO

The guy on the arctic chat site that has been involved with these for a while says at least $4,000-$8,000 and possibly $10,000-$15,000 for my guess perfect restorations or originals. Similar to Barrett Jackson. You can get a brand new corvette for $50k but will pay over $250k for one built in the 50s.
