Rare is good, & bad
Of the 600 or so RTX Racer sleds produced from 1971-72, only about 100 of them had the 340 CCW F/A that Marks’ sled has. That made things a little more difficult. Some parts – like the fuel tank – were “as rare as hens teeth,” as Marks puts it.
This original, restored RTX Racer, although it is one of a hundred, won’t be a garage-queen. Marks plans on taking it out on the snow as soon as he can. Living in central Pennsylvania, he knows he might have to wait a bit, but he’s excited about actually getting out and using this piece of snowmobiling history.
