    Argo on TV - Fantasy Factory

    Tonight, I was flipping through the channels and came across a new episode of Fantasy Factory with Rob Dyrdek. He is using a green Argo 8x8 with tracks. Tune in now to check it out on MTV.

    Here is a link to a preview of the show with the Argo "street legal tank" on it: Show Clip - Sneak Peak | Prepped For Survival | Sneak Peek | MTV

    Good find, Mike! It looks like an old orange Argo that was painted olive drab and is powered by a Tecumseh OH160. Now, where's our Argo expert, ARGOJIM to tell us the year and model of it?

    I missed that it was Orange. It's obvious once you pointed it out. As for year, the intake and slanted slots on the front end make me think it's a 1970's model. The Tecumseh makes it a late 70's? I think I'm in the ballpark?

    Edit: I'm just guessing at the year for fun, we'll see if I'm close when one of the Argo experts chime in. I didn't want anyone to take the above information as fact.
