    Hey fella's, just picked up and absolutly unbelievable deal, found it on Kijiji North Bay for $400, ad said 4 wheel Argo includes tracks for $400 so i message him saying i will come pick it, he replies back sorry i made a mistake its an 8 wheel Argo sitting in barn for years its dirty come get it, so i head up there, pull in the driveway and could not believe what i was seeing, he was giving away an absolutly mint 80's Argo 8x8 with that rare grey/white color, full canopy, windshield, full black skid plate, winch kit AND................ SUPER TRACKS!!!!! All for just $400!!! unreal, i still cant believe it, so today i went out and all it needed was a fuel pump for the Tec. 16hp, i just simply adapted an external one from a snowmobile runs like new, under the hood is all original, unbelievable deal i am soo excited.

    Great find there. Yes post up some pictures. Haven't seen one like that.
    Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways , cigar in one hand, whiskey in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!!!"

      8x8 deal

      Was this the original owner and did he not know what the vehicle was worth?
      Great purchase, looking forward to pics.

                re:8x8 find

                NICE!!!!!! Oh did I mention I don't know you but still hate you.LOL I would be like the other guy and have to pay the big bucks.There are some good deals out there,just have to find them. I thought I was getting a decent deal on my6x6......$700.00 in parts later.... it will be a good machine but wasn't expecting what I got.

                          eightwheeler ,


                          The Argo 8x8 that you recently bought was an incredible find! This is the kind of story that you hear about some times ,but sounds just too good to be true.

                            Is that the original colour? I've never seen an Argo that colour.

                              hello eightwheeler

                              i see you found a nice machine and accessories, i am a bit jealous though. it appears to be the same as the one that i am rebuilding for my dad. i wonder how close they might be by ser#. i will dig up dads tommorrow and post it here. i have posted a couple of pics of dads in the gallery. not 100% sure as to attaching them here. anyways nice find there.
