By the seller's own admission the condition is "poor, significant wear". It's described as a DMC 1200, which was chronologically after the Thiokol 1200 models, yet the tracks shown in the photos pre-date the Thiokol 1200 design.
When one disassembles something, it can still be challenging to put it all back together properly, even if the parts are carefully inventoried and labeled. But when someone else takes it apart, and especially when some parts are missing, it can be an epic nightmare.
Snowcat prices have risen substantially over the last several years, but even trying to factor that in, I truly don't see the value here...
