that is a mid 80's airport tug.
they have unbelievable pulling power, but top speed is around 20 mph.
i have seen them with both the standard 300 six cylinder, and on some 460's for use on large commercial jets. trans is usually a C-6
they were replaced with the newer tugs that are seen in airports now that look sorta like riding lawn mowers on steroids.

Yes, that is a special-purpose vehicle that (IMO) is unsuitable out on the road at highway speeds, both due to the gearing as well as the extremely short wheelbase.
Now if you wanted to pull stumps out on your farm, or drag around really heavy stuff, then a different story . . .
I knew a guy who had a diesel airport tug (can't remember, think it was an International) who was trying to sell it also. Very low (meaning numerically high) gearing, and it had literally tons of ballast weight on it too, would be good for parts maybe and then turn in the rest for scrap metal.
