I had a yellow one first and the hood problem came up, called COX etc. returned it for a silver one, same thing. I wish I would have found a way to make it run with the hood down, like drilled another hole or something, Probobly would have had it today. I did have a jeep first and got that running after brake in then it ran for years, I found a pair of the sand blaster slicks and they fit on the axles, that was fun.

Really takes me back in time. What would one of these be worth (In good condition)? What a treat to actually see a Cox snowmobile runnung! Really takes me back in time.
