IAME Rastrojero Conosur

The Rastrojero Conosur is a passenger car that was based on the utilitarian, second-generation Rastrojero Diesel. It is a 4-door sedan especially designed for use in taxi fleets. This car was built by the state enterprise State Mechanical Industries, of Argentina, from 1974 until 1979, when they ended the operations of this factory.

The car was aesthetically similar to a Rastrojero Diesel double cab, but instead of a cargo box, the vehicle consists of a trunk designed with a small slope. This left aside the straight line of the box of the original model.

As far as its mechanics are concerned, the Rastrojero Conosur was the same as the pickup. A 4.88 Indenor XD engine 1946 cc that delivers an output of 60 hp, powered by diesel oil through an indirect injection system Bosch EP / VA, all coupled to a 4-speed Borgward gearbox.

Its production, along with all Rastrojero vehicles, ended on May 22, 1979. The Rastrojero Conosur was mainly designed for use as a taxi. However, some Rastrojero Conosurs tend to be restored not as taxis, but as private vehicles.
