The Viking brand of snowmobiles were first built in Ashland, WI for 1966, but then moved to Twin Valley, MN. This is a last-year 1976 model. (Historians report 300 were built for 1976.)
Vikings came in different colored hoods. This purple example was popular because it connoted a tie-in with the Minnesota Vikings football team. Indeed, the dashboard logo is similar to that used by the football team.
Powered by a 440 cc fan-cooled Kohler engine with electronic ignition.
The suspension was named Posi-Grip, and was a blend between slide rails and bogies.
This example looks original, with the exception of the replacement Duster primary clutch.

That's a beautiful example of mid 70s sleds. And pretty modern looking for that era

Interesting that the logos on the sticker and the blanking plate where a tach would go both face the same direction, but the logo with the viking name on the speedo faces the opposite direction. Just a little quirk you don't really see from big manufacturers.

Yes they were although some what rare . My father worked for Kohler R&D and we had a 1974 model pre production unit in 1973 to ride for a month for testing purposes.

Valdi might be knowledgeable about snowmobiles, but he is a terrible presenter. And uh, and uh.
