need help!!?? 71"

[scorpionbay]

went and look at a 71 stinger 3 today it was a wide track but did not say wt on the dash and also only said stinger on the hood not stinger 3 is this common or is this something someone made?? any ideas??

There seems to be a bunch out there.
Never know what kind of stickers it may have come with.
I dont think any one could make up a 71 stinger III unless they started with a 71 super stinger!
If the bogeys are good, buy it!
Does it have a plastic or a steel built in tank? That is the question.

[scorpionbay]

it was plastic and the drive coggs were cracked but the sled still moved. is the wide track rare??

the '72 Stinger I version is very scarce of the wedge designs, but those should have Stinger I WT on the dash,
the Stinger III is a bit more common, but those fit the Super Stinger hood, and could make good candidates for clones, making any wide wedge a target for someone wishing to fabricate a clone, making their numbers fall over time, since the 72 is harder to find it stands to reason there would be less of them to turn into clones (anyone have any idea roughly how many clones would be around?)

the Stinger without any number indicator on the dash sounds like a mystery to me, and might be worth looking into, like the blue metalflake hood Pararailer seem 5 years ago, but if it says Stinger III it is a stinger III, they did not put WT after the the name, at least on Jim's that is the way it is, and in the round side decal it should simply say scorpion in small letters above Stinger in larger letters)

someone who is industrious and has welding skills could graft a Stinger III front end onto a Stinger II chassis, making a 15 inch Superstinger (which is what the factory did when they made them anyways)

Scorpionlilwhip, dont forget about the angle of the ski spindles.
Scorpiobay, No, those wide tracks are not rare, Especially with plastic tanks.
