Snow Trac ST-4 -AB Westerasmskiner of Sweden For Sale (1968) | | 1968 Snow Trac ST-4 - for sale
1968 Snow-Trac, AB Westerasmskiner of Sweden built 2,220 Snow Trac machines between the years 1957 and 1980.
- These machines were primarily sold in Northern European countries to be used on snow-covered terrain.
- Ski resorts also employed these machines to groom trails. While not built to be a military vehicle, some European Armies drafted Snow Tracs into service.
- This particular Snow Trac was purchased new in 1968 by the caretaker of a 6,500-acre Gentleman's Hunting Estate in Scotland and was used for maneuvering the hilly terrain. He thought he had died and gone to heaven when the new machine was delivered and was finally able to retire his old horse and buggy.
- Originally painted red, the caretaker of the estate painted the machine green (with a brush) so his machine would blend in with the surroundings.
- A Snow Trac enjoyed momentary Hollywood fame in the 1980 movie, The Shining, starring Jack Nicholson and Shelly Duvall. You might remember Ms. Duvall's daring escape in the Snow Trac at the conclusion of the movie.
We acquired this Snow Trac from the Hunting Estate in 2005 and sold the vehicle to a collector... The Snow Trac is once again available for purchase.
