A Vintage Speedster: The 1960 Polaris Trail-A-Sled's Rare Appearance

Ever stumbled upon something so unique it makes you stop and stare? Well, let's talk about a vintage sled that's caught the attention of many. This isn't your average snowmobile; it's a 1960 Polaris Trail-A-Sled, one of only 15 made in the Crosby/Ironton area of Central Minnesota. This beauty is up for sale, and it's got a story to tell. This four-seater sled is a speed demon, capable of hitting 100 mph. That's right, 100 mph! It's powered by a Lycoming 0-290-G engine, which you might know from its use in aircraft. But don't worry, this engine is modified for land use only, making it a safe and thrilling ride. The Trail-A-Sled company was founded in 1959, and between 1960 and 1963, they only made 35 of these sleds. Out of those 35, a mere 15 were four-seaters. That makes this sled incredibly rare. The seller is asking for a hefty $52, 000. Now, that might seem like a lot, but remember, you're not just buying a sled. You're buying a piece of Minnesota winter sports history. Plus, it's in mint condition, which is a big deal for something this old. But here's something interesting. There's another listing online for a similar sled, and it appears they might be the same. Both have the same number, S03785, under the driver's window. Could this be the same sled, or is it a coincidence?
