So next on to the Cox brand FLAGSHIP, and possibly the most produced internal combustion engine on earth, the ever FAMOUS:

COX .049


This sad looking specimen is still wearing its firewall from a thoroughly crashed combat flying wing that was never rebuilt.

But in point of fact the .049 engine, while available and often sold as a stand alone unit, was in fact the power plant for virtually all of the Cox models, from their ubiquitous PT Trainer to boats and cars and even helicopters, all made out of molded plastics, but all surprisingly capable, mostly due to the reliable power output of this little gem of an engine!

Here it is embedded in the interesting Cox Dune Buggy:




There is quite a story behind this particular vehicle, but perhaps I'll not bore you all with that here.

I had one of those dune buggys! Check out their prices today on eBay sometime!
