Arctic Cat Cross Country Cat 340 Snowmobile (1976-1977)

The Arctic Cat Cross Country Cat 340, produced in both 1976 and 1977, was a specialized snowmobile designed for racing. These models were equipped with a Suzuki Spirit AB34F3 340cc engine (exact displacement 339cc), noted for its reliability. The vehicle was built on the Pantera chassis, featuring an all-aluminum frame, a suspended engine designed to reduce vibration, and a jackshaft drive system. For the 1976 model year, the Cross Country Cat 340 was a variant of the Pantera, distinguished by its "Cat green trim" instead of orange and yellow. Approximately 625 units were produced that year. The chassis and platform remained largely consistent with relatively few changes through the 1979 model year. While an "updated" Cross Country Cat was utilized in racing in 1977, specific details regarding significant mid-cycle generation or engine changes for the 340cc model between 1976 and 1977 are not explicitly detailed, indicating stability in the core design.
