    Profile1.jpg Hi,

    Can anyone help me identify this car? It was rescued from a field in Argentina several years ago. It has a Ford Flathead V8.

    Thanks

    Maybe some kind of kit car. Looks a lot like an Opal too

    Would that it had been me who found it!



    No... it's not an Opel, and I seriously doubt that it's a kit car. Unless that's a fibreglass body, but it looks like it's steel?



    Any chance of some chassis photos? Rear axle? Front suspension? I could probably gain some clues from there. I expect that I can direct you to somewhere that you will get an answer...

    Is it a V8/60... or a regular Ford V8? Any idea what year engine?
