1960 Porsche Diesel Tractor Super Type 329 for sale
Between 1956 and 1963 Porsche made a little over 125,000 diesel tractors.  Of those, it's thought that 1,000 of them were sold in the US by American Porsche Diesel Corporation.  The subject of this story, a 1960 Porsche Diesel Super Type 329 was originally owned by Chuck Stoddard before finding its new home on a horse ranch in California.  It's in original running condition and has some desirable options.  Currently up for sale at a fairly reasonable price, we're curious what you would do.
