Photos fun to look at. I've never seen a R4 before, at least as I know of. The little black lamb was a standout too! But I noticed what appears to be a white Willys Jeep vehicle in the background of the first photo. Did it go through the auction too, and was it a stationwagon or a pickup? My dad bought new about 1950 a Willys two-wheel drive stationwagon, brown in color, which was our family car when I was a kid. Wish I had it today, but it was disposed of after someone rammed the back end injuring my mother's neck for life. Too bad. Both for her and the Willys.

GWH the R4 is nothing but a gas powered D4 just got a gastank where pony goes , a head with spark plugs and mag where injector pump goes. oh and diff pistons . as for the lamb I cant wait till it is eating hay I'm tired of trippin over the little fart. The willys was a pickup with no bed that someone bobbed the frame and looked as short as a reg jeep, it had the 4cly F head engine
