I don’t have one that old but my father-in-law once had an old Mercury from the 70’s.
the oldest sled I have is a 99’ arctic cat. My others are mid 2000’s Skidoo’s.
Curious, where is Brown City? What state?

I don't own one anymore, but often reminisce about the bad old days when all sleds were junk. Ride an hour, work on it for a day. LOL

We were a Homelite saw dealer, so naturally had a Homelite Forester II sled!
Lots of other junk too, but this was the most unusual. Hirth powered.

I used to be, a couple early 70's Cats & Sno-Jets that ran, several others that didn't. Sold them all off years ago. Just newer iron in the fleet now. All fuel injected 4 strokes, I got tired of working on them. I would buy a Manta if I could find one in decent shape, just cause they're fkn weird!

@ChadD have you been to the snowmobile museum in Naubinway, MI? It's not far from my house, they have some cool old iron there.

We had a couple Johnson JX440 snowmobiles growing up. And when those finally gave out we upgraded to John Deere Liquifire and Spitfire (that was a huge upgrade at the time).
