Arctic Cat Panther 340 Snowmobile (1970-2000)

The Arctic Cat Panther 340, produced from 1970 to at least 2000, was an iconic model known for its comfort. It was often dubbed the "Cadillac of snowmobiles." The "340" in its name consistently refers to an engine displacement of approximately 339cc or 340cc. This model enjoyed a long production run, featuring various engine configurations and design evolutions. In the early 1970s, Arctic Cat transitioned from multiple engine suppliers (JLO, Sachs, Hirth) to primarily Kawasaki engines. "Trims" were often defined by the engine manufacturer, such as the Panther JLO 340 or Panther Kawasaki 340. In 1973, new sound regulations led to the adoption of fully enclosed hoods with sound-deadening foam. The Panther EXT 340 was a racing-focused variant, while the Panther VIP, a luxury model introduced in 1973, used a 440cc Kawasaki engine and was therefore not a 340cc model. A broader shift in engine suppliers (Kawasaki to Suzuki) was observed on the Pantera model in 1976, suggesting a general trend for Arctic Cat.
