Vehicle Information
Arctic Cat Panther 400 Snowmobile (1973)
The 1973 Arctic Cat Panther 400 was a notable snowmobile, powered by a Kawasaki 398cc (or 399cc) fan-cooled, two-cylinder, two-stroke engine (model T1B400S). This model year saw significant updates and was part of a Panther line that included various engine options like the 340, 399, 440, and a Wankel. For 1973, the Panther 400 received an updated "V" shaped hood and belly pan, along with a new involute drive track. Industry-wide sound regulations also led to fully enclosed hoods, which, while reducing noise, made these models more prone to vapor lock compared to 1972 versions. FAQ:
