In
1979, In my passion for Rupp, I started to communicate with my Rupp customers
about ways of how to possibly resurrect and bring back The Rupp Snowmobile.
Within these communications, there was a lot of interest within dealers and
owners. I even had offers of money and help mostly from Rupp enthusiasts within
the northern Central and Eastern portion of the United
States.
In late 1979, I decided that
I should attempt to bring Rupp back into existence. I was 42 years old and
recently left a Dodge Dealership as Sales Manager. It was decided that The New
Company should be further north, so with the communication of various Rupp
customers, it was decided that Rapid
City, South Dakota
should be the location of the new company because of the snow conditions and the
many riding trails of The Black Hills of South Dakota. No corporation income tax
in The State of South Dakota was also taken in consideration within this
location, furthermore in The Rapid City outskirts there was a large vacant
building and facilities, which was once a mobile home manufacturing plant which
would have been adequate for a Rupp Manufacturing plant.
