I just bought a secondhand Jonsered 670 Champ. I was wondering if there is a way to know what year it is? It runs great, but looks ancient. Just curious...

My 670 has the year right on the serial number. It is either the first or last 2 numbers.

I will look at mine tonight and see for sure, That number dose not look right at all. Is it possible that 2 at the end is a 9 or could you be missing the first number which may be a 9. In either case that could make it a 94. I think if it is real old the year may not be in the serial number but I am not sure. One more thing, You can not tell the age of the saw on appearance. I have seen 20 year old saws look new and 1 year old saws look like a old piece of junk.

If your saw is really a 670 Champ and not just a 670 with a "Champ" recoil sticker than it is one of the last 670's made. The Champ came out after the Super and West Coast models. As Troll suggested, most likely a late 80's or early 90's saw.
I dont think these saws look ancient at all, they are a design from the 80's, which was one of the best periods of saw design

HEHE - the original design is from 1976 - Husky 162SE, but I agree!
The 670 S/C won the Would cup in 1987, 89 and 91, and the new "champ" is the 372xp........
