Snowcat 1972 Thiokol 1404WT Imp for sale $10,000 US
Serial # T4C0975
V4 104 cu inch Ford engine is 1986 -
One of the small Thiokol Imps used in the movie The Thing (Prequel)
Written by Eric Heisserer
Directed by Matthijs Van Heijningen
Released in 2011 - shot in BC Canada
a piece of movie history -: was painted yellow for the film - repainted back to original Orange after the film but we left the decals that were put on by the film crews to prove Provenance (see pics) - still yellow on inside

Hadn't moved in years and needed repairs and parts
the engine is a V4 Ford industrial engine
We cleaned out the engine - rebuilt the carb, changed points to electronic, new wires, cleaned out all oil, transmission and hydraulic lines, adjusted all the linkage,
Tracks and all wheels were pulled and bearings are all fresh -rebuilt brakes(steering) - has good solid tracks
new marine wiper motors, new hydraulics on plow, new battery etc
and rewired a bit to clean it up-needs a few things but mostly cosmetics
Extended exhaust that runs to the rear of the vehicle, instead of beside the passenger door.
Has a 6-way snow plow blade on it

Everything is functional and was used for 2 years as a driveway snowplow

Update: suspect that fuel lines and tank need flushing and or fuel pump needs to be changed

just to be clear - it still needs work - but was fully functional and a lot has been repaired or replaced - has been sitting for a year

located in London Ontario Canada
