1947 Ford Coe Original Flathead V8 Rollback on 2040-cars
Stevensville, Montana, United States
|
1947 Ford COE 2-Ton. Model 798W. All original drive train. Heavy-Duty Mercury Flathead V8, 4-speed, Optional 2-speed rear differential and optional heavy-duty springs. This is the long-wheelbase model and has the Ford heavy-duty double frame rails (NO rust). This model is extremely rare and perfect for creating an all-stock rollback car hauler. The engine turns freely and has compression. One of the spark plugs broke off
and I was unable to remove it. Once that issue is resolved I am sure the engine will run. All the other spark plugs have been changed and the valves confirmed to move properly. The front grille was stepped on by a cow (on the farm where it sat for 40+ years), but is all there and ready to straighten. Good cab metal and floors. Please look at the pictures to see vehicle condition. I would never sell this truck but I broke my back and have to pass on my projects to those able to enjoy them. While early Ford COE's are very rare, the long-wheelbase 2-ton model is quite a bit more rare as most of the COE's were 1.5 ton trucks with the single-speed axle. The Eaton vacuum-shift 2-speed axle makes any truck a blast to drive, providing better power AND better highway cruising. This is the last year for this classic style of COE and has all the available options. Good Current Montana Title in my name. Feel free to contact me with any questions. Highest bidder wins the truck and is responsible for shipping. Vehicle sold as is, where is. Deposit due 48 hrs after auction, full payment 7 days after auction (cashier's check or bank transfer preferred). After receipt of funds the notarized title will be sent via Certified U.S. Mail. Thanks for checking out this cool old truck! |

Ford EcoBoost V6 hits the dyno before hitting the track
Wed, 02 Oct 2013Ford Racing just unveiled the Riley Daytona Prototype that will make its racing in the United SportsCar Racing Championship Rolex 24 at Daytona in January, and now it has released a video showing development of twin-turbo 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 that powers the car. Using the same block and heads that can be found on a production Ford Taurus SHO, this new racecar benefits from the collaboration between Ford Racing and Ford powertrain engineers.
While we still don't know what kind of power this engine is putting out, it has definitely gotten a workout at Ford's 17G dyno. This area deep within Ford allows the automaker's racing program to work hand-in-hand with production engine programs, which can be a benefit to racing operations and production cars alike. Scroll down to hear a few people from Ford talk about the crosspollination between its racing and engine teams and watch the EcoBoost get red hot on the dyno.
Ford paying $750 million just to close plant in Belgium
Thu, 21 Mar 2013According to a report from Reuters, Ford is shelling out $750 million in a severance deal that will see the automaker close its facility in Genk, Belgium. The automaker reached this deal with the 4,000 hourly workers employed at the plant last week, which means the company will pay out an average of $187,500 per worker.
Ford is still negotiating with the 300 salaried workers at the factory, which currently produces the Mondeo sedan. All told, Ford expects to lose around $2 billion in Europe thanks in no small part to the region's ongoing economic downturn, and two more plants are scheduled to be shut down in Europe this year. The company will log its $750 million payout under "special items" for this quarter.
As you may recall, Ford took a similar path in the US back in 2009 when the domestic market took a spill. Back then, the company shelled out around $50,000 per employee with at least one year of experience, plus either $25,000 toward a new car or an extra cash payment of $20,000. It would seem the cost of closing plants in Belgium is a much harder pill to swallow than in the States...
Ford Focus ST, Fiesta ST buyers to get free Octane Academy driving school
Thu, 01 Aug 2013The Ford Focus ST and Fiesta ST have created plenty of excitement in the sport compact segment, and Ford is looking to make sure that owners are driving and enjoying their cars to the best of their abilities. As an added bonus for buying one of these sporty hatchbacks, Ford will provide a complimentary ST Octane Academy session to be held at the Miller Motorsports Park in Utah.
Attendees will be responsible for travel and lodging, but Ford will provide the driving school free of charge. Included in this two-day trip, ST owners will get class instruction and driving instruction in prepped Focus ST and Fiesta ST models on the track and autocross course. Some karting action will also be involved as will a tour of Ken Block's Hoonigan Racing headquarters located nearby. If this doesn't sound like enough fun, there is also an optional day of activities that includes some more track time in a Mustang GT and off-road instruction in an F-150 SVT Raptor.
Ford told us that those who have already purchased a Focus ST or Fiesta ST will still be able to attend the performance driving school, but the press release, which is posted below, makes it sound like it applies to original owners only. Ford has yet to announce its schedule for the ST Octane Academy or prices for additional activities or guests.
