SCROLL ALL THE WAY DOWN FOR HISTORY.

IT DRIVES ME CRAZY WHEN I SEE MISINFORMATION SPREADING ON THE INTERNET OR SOME
OTHER PLATFORM LIKE YOUTUBE OR FACEBOOK ABOUT VINTAGE AND ANTIQUE SNOWMOBILES.
I WAS WATCHING A SCORPION COMPANY HISTORY ON YOUTUBE THE OTHER DAY AND THEY SAID
THAT SIR EDMUND HILLARY USED A SCORPION SNOWMOBILE IN THE ANTARCTIC.
THIS IS NOT TRUE !
OTHER INTERNET SITES ALSO HAD THE SAME INFORMATION THEY HE USED A SCORPION BUILT SLED.
THIS IS NOT TRUE !
THE SNOWMOBILE THAT WAS USED BY SIR EDMUND HILLARY IN THE ANTARCTIC WAS BUILT BY
TRADE WINDS WHO WERE OWNED BY OMC ( OUTBOARD MARINE CORPORATION ).
SIR EDMUND HILLARY USED A 1968 SEARS WILDCAT XSR 2000 SNOWMOBILE.
BELOW IS INFORMATION AND PICTURES ABOUT THE 1969 SEARS HILLARY SNOWCRUISER.
SEARS NAMED THE 1969 HILLARY SNOWCRUISER SNOWMOBILE TO CELEBRATE HIS ACHIEVEMENT.
BELOW IS MY OPINION.  DAVID S.

BELOW IS INFORMATION IS PERTAINING TO SIR EDMUND HILLARY AND THE SEARS 1969 HILLARY SNOWCRUISER SNOWMOBILE.
**WITH NEW INFORMATION THAT I FOUND IN THE NEWSPAPERS,
BELOW IS A 1968 TRADE WINDS SUPER TIGER SNOWMOBILE.
TRADE WINDS DID NOT HAVE A 20 INCH WIDETRACK MODEL IN
THE FALL OF 1966 (AKA) 1967 TRADE WINDS MODEL.
NOTE:
WHEN THE AUCTION FOR FRANK SERVAIS WAS HELD, HE HAD SOME SIGNS ABOVE
CERTAIN SNOWMOBILES WITH THE YEAR AND MODEL OF THE SNOWMOBILE.
I WAS ABLE TO SEE RIGHT AWAY THAT SOME OF THE SIGNS WERE CORRECT
AND SOME OF THE SIGNS HAD BAD INFO ON THEM.
REGARDLESS ....
THIS IS THE SLED THAT THE HILLARY SNOWMOBILE EXPEDITION IN EARLY 1968 WOULD BE BASED ON.

1968 TRADE WINDS SUPER TIGER SNOWMOBILE
THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT COLOR FOR THIS SLED.  SOMEONE PAINTED IT.
BUILT IN 1967 FOR THE 1968 MODEL YEAR.
***THIS SIGN IS WRONG.***
THIS IS A 1968 TRADE WINDS SUPER TIGER MODEL.

**NOTE**
THE MOTOR IN THIS SLED IS NOT THE ORIGINAL ENGINE.
