    Great purchase! Congrats! I think I saw it on Marketplace. I remember the faded Dodge on the door. Cool! Good luck!

    I just watched Jason's video from a few days ago and you were washing the tow truck. I knew right away that used to belong to a C/P dealer so I had to find your video cause I wanted to know more. Couldn't believe it was from Amaral Motors. I worked at three different C/P dealers in nearby towns and two of them had that same wrecker. I think Dodge Dealers had the red/white color combination. Walking into Amaral Motors was like stepping back in time. I saw a show online somewhere where these guys bought up old cars and parts that Amarals had stored in barns across the street from the dealership. You can probably Google it.

    Very cool truck, so glad you rescued it! Now, get that Porsche done and sold so that you can put the money into this! Looking forward to seeing you bring this truck back to its former glory.

    It’s very rare to find an Ortiz wrecker complete and intact today. They were no where near as popular as Holmes or Weldbuilt. Cool find 👍

    Quite the growing collection. Top notch police car. Wrecker. Now you need to go on the hunt for a fire chief's car. I know in the 70s Chicago FD had a lot of C-body Dodges. Hmmmm. 🤔
