This is not a Ford engine at all!

I believe it's a 1935 Plymouth coupe with a 201 cubic inch flathead six.

Newbie service writer at Ralph Willams Ford wrote an RO on a 1940 Ford for a brake job. When the RO came thru the pneumatic tube to the back counter, I told him...we don't have parts for this thing.

Then the porter drove the car to the service lot, passing by the parts dept. I took a look, HUH? It was 1940 PONTIAC! Big chief indian hood ornament, PONTIAC name plates on hood sides, block letters on hubcaps.

He bought a boat from the lube man, then took it to the river. We stood there laughing our azzes off while he's standing in waist high water pulling on it to get it off the trailer. Someone finally went over, unhooked it.

It floated off the trailer into the river, began to sink. He had forgotten to put the plug back in after washing it out. So he gets into his truck, punches it...it and the trailer went straight into the river!

After the Pontiac episode he didn't last too long, soon went bye bye.

****** Overland Rural, off the assembly line in Brazil and stamped with a Ford badge.

Considerably better than an old Courier, as these are four-wheel-drive and probably a lot stronger!

Brochure pic of engine: Looks like the F head that Kaiser installed when he acquired Jeep in 1953.

F head: Exhaust valves in block, intake valves in head.

Diesel schmeisel! When was the last time anyone spotted a Ranger Crew Cab in the US?

Most likely never, as Ford never offered it here.

Argentina has more old and I mean real old unrestored cars than anywhere else in the world. Why?

Because the gov't will not allow them to be exported.

So if someone were to go to Argentina and buy a diesel powered Ranger crew cab they could not drive it up here to North America?
