I picked up this Tucker recently, thinking it would just be a donor but then I couldn't just let it sit there. I spent a little time working on it, my dad spent even more time working on it and now its a running, driving (using that term loosely), fiberglass pontoon Tucker. I think it could be a good Tucker someday but the tracks and rollers are VERY worn. Unfortunately the ID tag from the dash has been removed so I have little knowledge about the year and engine. I was told the Tucker spent most of it's life at a Michigan ski hill (no idea which one). But the engine has me most curious, take a look at the ID tag from the engine, if I deciphered the code correctly it's a 1959 Ford 223 cu.in. straight 6 cylinder. I think the Tucker must be an early 60's???? I do have the helpful folks at Tucker Corporation looking into their records to see if they ever used a Ford powerplant, but thought I'd also ask this forum group if anyone can help identify the year and whether or not you've ever heard of a factory Ford engine used in a Tucker. BTW, the body is (was) a 443, someone cut off the back couple feet (bummer). Thanks for any help.
