Troy Moore has been restoring sleds for a very long time. I got a chance to meet him a trip out East a few years ago. In a modest garage converted into a nice restoration shop, Troy has turned out what can only be described as some of the best restoration work ever. From RXL's (see Hank Briscoe's 250cc RXL), TX's, Sno-Twisters, Z's and more, Troy does the work for one reason: He just loves the process.

What I hope to show here is not so much a collection of sleds Troy owns, but a collection of the work Troy has done over the years. His most recent work is on his 76 Polaris 340cc SnoPro, and a 440 he helped with.

Here's how Troy describes the 340: "The 76 Sno Pro was a fun project. I added a few personal touches such as hinging the hood. I thought it would display much better with the hood on the sled instead of laying next to it. I have the original water pump cover which was a full enclosed cover and I also had the one that is one the sled but I like the looks of that cogged belt and water pump sticking out (you know what I'm talking about-they're cool.)"

The 440 below actually belongs to Kirk Beisel. Here's what Kirk has to say about this one: "I finally finished it with lots of help from Troy Moore. I'm just waiting on my surge tank to be finished, then the sled will be 100% complete. It features a 440 liquid kit motor, 4 band titanium SnoPro track and aluminum skis. The entire sled is basically brand new."

340cc Liquid kit - I think one of the coolest looking motors ever made.
Look at the detail in this shot - from the motor, to the tank and the chaincase.

A few components on Kirk's sled give it the appearance of the 77 SnoPro's - and add to sleds overall sleek quality.

Troy's name on it - because he intends to ride!
 
Under the hood and from the back, the attention to detail is amazing.
