Vehicle Information
Arctic Cat Panther 246 Snowmobile (1970)
The 1970 Arctic Cat Panther 246 was an iconic snowmobile, known for its robustness and simplicity. This model was distinguished by its 246cc Hirth 82R engine, a fan-cooled, single-cylinder, two-stroke unit producing 12 DIN HP at 5000 RPM. The "246" in its name indicated the engine displacement, rather than a distinct trim level. In 1970, the Panther lineup offered various engine options, with the 246cc being one of them. There is no indication of mid-cycle generation or engine changes specifically for the 1970 Arctic Cat Panther 246. The model remained consistent throughout that production year, with no new trims or major modifications introduced. FAQ:
