Did any of you gentlemen run one of these buggies back in the early '80's ?? I was talking to a guy this afternoon about him buying a Ranger in that era but was disappointed with the "donut" sized wheels/tires and I immediately recalled a neighboring dairy farmer that had the Courior. Sadly, my spelling might be wrong Cry .

I still have the 1972 Courier I bought brand new for $2735 in '72.  Haven't driven it for a few years, has 243,000 miles on it.  Engine needs to be rebuilt.  Might put a diesel in it someday.  Parked in a shed, will probably will go to the crusher when I'm gone.  It does have a nice flat bed I built for it 20+ years ago.  It has seen both oceans and a lot of country in between.  Fun truck, first one I bought brand new.

Back in 1975 or 76 one of my fuel customers who was trying to start farming had 1. He put a bale stabber in the back of it. He lived 1/2 mile north of my bulk plant and was always stopping in for coffee. He lasted about 5 years before he got a job with the highway patrol and gave up on farming. I think that pickup got pushed in a ditch to stop erosion. He had a couple of IH tractors, I ask him if he had a couple of IH wheel weights wired under the front axle of that midget pickup. He said NA if I need extra weight on the front end I have my wife call her two fat sisters, I put 1 on each front fender.
