I'm thinking it was a wild wolf that got put in a poly body at some point in its life.

Same here, Drew. Probably right around 1976

Well maybe I'm wrong about the body type!!This thing looks original as in never touched inside and the bottom hardly has a scratch on it!,anyway too tell the poly and abs apart?my old 295 was yellow and this one is orange!! Thanks

That's a poly body for sure. The ABS bodies never had the raised "swoosh" on the side of the top half. No matter what it started out as, you have a very nice machine.

Thanks!! I have 12 new bearings on way and have already got 40ft of diamond chain for it,one wheel bearing is bad and chains look a lil worn out but wiring needs some attention for sure and the original seat covers are history!!!Tryin to make a reliable floater as my sister just bought house on the Kankakee river which has boat ramp in the yard!! lol

Yeah that's poly for sure! Many people get multiple machines and build what they can out of it for cheap. I have a colt body with a 76 Superchief frame in it. My engine came from a different year Superchief and who knows where I got the t-20. Anyway you look at it, you have a nice machine.
