The 1972 Arctic Cat Cheetah 399 was a snowmobile model from Arctic Cat, known for its specific engine size. It was powered by a Kawasaki T1A400S1B 398cc, two-cylinder, fan-cooled engine. For 1972, the Cheetah lineup offered different engine sizes, including the 340, 399, and 440, which served as distinct trims. This model featured a signature dash-mounted gas tank and a smoothed axial flow hood, shared with the Puma, enhancing both style and airflow. While the 1972 Cheetah 399 engine saw no mid-year changes, the 1972 model year brought general improvements across Arctic Cat's snowmobile lineup. These included enhanced safety features like kink- and freeze-resistant cables, a handlebar-mounted kill switch, padded handlebars, and reflective bumper trim. The 1972 models also featured a restyled hood, marking the last year for an open-backed design before sound regulations in 1973 led to fully enclosed hoods.
