Vehicle Information
Arctic Cat Pantera 500 Snowmobile (1976-1981)
The Arctic Cat Pantera 500, produced from 1976 to 1981, was a popular snowmobile known for its comfort and features, earning it the nickname "Catillac." Throughout its production, it consistently featured a 500cc Suzuki Spirit engine, though with notable variations. The 1976 model marked a significant redesign, introducing an all-aluminum chassis, a suspended engine for reduced vibration, a jackshaft drive system, a longer 121-inch track, and an innovative dual fuel tank. In 1977, a new 500cc fan-cooled engine option was introduced alongside the existing free-air version, becoming the primary engine type in subsequent years. Further enhancements included oil injection and a Mikuni butterfly carburetor in 1980 for improved maintenance and cold starts. FAQ:
