UPDATE: Still Available.
Here’s another possibly-O.E.-Szekely-built Ford-Powered 4WD APU similar to one that was posted a few years ago. It’s not clear whether the one below has a O.E. Szekely data plate or not. The seller suggests this as a 1946, but this is more likely a 1953.

“1941 FORD WILLY JEEP V8 4X4 BEAST THAT RUNS AND DRIVES GREAT PROJECT WITH ALL YOU NEED.BILL OF SALE S D AS EQUIPED”
I don’t know weather to like it or hate it. It reminds me of something that would pull little kids trains at the park in the ’50’s/’60’s
It’s right here in town but even that doesn’t rise my curiosity to view it.
It’s just one of those oddities I like to track, since likely no one else does. I don’t see one in my future.
Someone liked it, it’s gone
“IF” it is Ford powered it is a 272/292 y-block which was introduced into the Ford product line for the 1954 model year (a.k.a. late 1953).
Race,I agree and from the y block that I had years ago the engine in this looks like it.1953 was the last year Ford built the flathead v-8 as far as I know.
I just bought one of these, does anyone have any info on these things?
