What do you get when you put a Arctic Cat Thundercat 900 snowmobile three-cylinder engine in the rear of a Yugo? How about an estimated 180HP, RWD and no reverse gear.
Somehow, the snowmobile CVT is hooked up,which is yet another odd thing about this. The seller says this need minor finishing work, but can run. In other good news, this is apparently, easy to push, to the reverse gear may not be missed (?). What would you do with this thing?

The Centerline-style wheels and lifted look indicate this isn’t stock.
Interior appears stock and sufficiently dirty. Do you want to know what happened to the driver’s seat? Neither do I.
Here’s that unusual engine.

Up for auction is my 1987 Yugo Gv. Its a pretty clean little Hot Rod with some rust but still very solid. Its now rear wheel drive and has nothing in the front under the hood except for the radiator and fan.
Its got a 1995 Arctic Cat Thundercat 900cc snowmobile engine (180 horsepower) mated to a Franklin Quick Change rear end with a reverse rotation 4:56 ring and pinion and final driven at 8:50 gear. Power is transmitted thru a CVT Comet drive with a comet pro4 primary clutch and puck style secondary. This car does not have reverse…it pushed very easy. Both the engine and rearend are rebuilt with all new parts. It does run and drive but still needs a few things to finish it up like a permanent fuel cell and lights/turn signals wired. This car is crazy fast and I would bet it would do mid to high 11’s with no problem. Im moving and cant afford to ship my YUGO across the country!
Let me know if ya got any questions or text (419)xxx-xxxx my name is Brent
