Check Out This Rare Central Minnesota Made Sled Up For Sale

Love vintage sleds but also need speed? Here's something you don't see every day. A 1 of 15 sled, made in the Crosby/Ironton area in 1960 coming up for sale. If you've got the money, this rare sled can be all yours!

I was on social media this weekend and a rare old sled caught my eye, as you don't see too many of these anymore. It was a 1960 Polaris Trail A Sled in what looked to be mint condition! The seller added that it was a 4-seater and was 1 of only 15 made.

According to an online listing for a different air sled, these sleds could hit speeds of 100 mph, which is moving!

According to another online listing:

"The Trail-A-Sled company was founded in 1959 in Crosby/Ironton, Minnesota. There were only 35 built in total from 1960 to 1963, 25 of them were built for Polaris to sell. Of the 35 total, only 15 were four-passenger units like the one we have here! Powered by the 125 hp Lycoming 0-290-G engine, similar to an aircraft engine but in the sleds it's a land-use-only engine. Capable of hitting 100mph!"

Looking at the online listing I found, that states the sled sold, and looking at this one on social media, I am wondering if they are the same. In both, it appears the number under the driver's window reads S03785.

The online social media listing, here, is asking $52,000 for the sled, which if you can afford to spend, you'll have a pretty unique ride and a piece of Minnesota winter sports history.
