come on guys,you know the "elite".The 2 seater that skidoo made in the early 80's,you sit side by side in.
Someone has to have seen one,or no of one in a field or barn.

The Elite's was made from 73 to 82 but there was a gap in there.   The easiest way to tell the era is the sled color.  From 73 to 75 were like the one shown were white and had a 440 F/C motor.  There was probelms with the earlier ones with vapor lock as the engine compartments were no well vented.  There was a gap in between.  The Elites came back in 78 with a yellow boday and black frame.  They also had a type 444 L/C motor.  In 81 they went to all black and had a type 464 L/C motor that also had oil injection.  

There is a strong following of faithful Elite owners and that is one reason why they are hard to find.  I myself have had the chance to get a couple, but for one reason or another never got one.  But one of these days.   I like the white ones, but would like the L/C motor.

if i get one i sure hope its a liquide cooled.  must be pretty strong with a 464 in there and the doubble track !

Also has been a couple on ebay in recent months.

all the one's i see for sale they are asking 2000$ i think thats way to much i would rather find one in bad shape and restore it! im not looking for a brand new one.

 

[Raider Rider]

THere was one on ebay dont know the number punch in ski doo and you will find it

2k is about the going rate on them.  Parts for the elites are hard to find.  So the paying a few extra $$$$ for one in better condition might help out in the long run.
