1949 Ford F-7 Wrecker on 2040-cars
Stanfield, North Carolina, United States
|
This is a 1949 ford F-7 Wrecker. Up front is a big block (I was told by previous owner a 390) that runs really good and sounds awesome. Does not smoke. Holley 4barrel carb not sure what cfm. Transmission has 5 forward gears but two granny gears. Don't know why. I guesss its actually a 4 speed. it grinds every gear when shifting. 2speed rear end don't know what gear but its low. Since ive owned it I have replaced the following: wiring harness, brake booster, rear spotlights, seat cover, floor mat, ignition switch, dimmer switch, cab roof lights and tail lights. Good tires! I had my buddy paint it back to its original green color and we dulled it down to look old. There is no rust, super solid sheetmetal! Very straight truck! Ive driven this truck about 20 miles since ive owned it and it drives pretty good considering its a big old truck. Lots of fun and turns heads around town, especially when your towing something. Winch works great with 2 forward speeds. I towed a big bus with it and it pulled it without a problem. You can use this truck for alott of different things. Truck may need a new master cylinder. Brakes were working a couple of months ago but now pedal goes straight to the floor. Heater works good. Turn signals and flashers work. But none of the instrument gauges work so I installed aftermarket oil psi and water temp. It is missing passenger side step. I do not have a title to this truck. It came from Georgia which is a non title state so I can only provide bill of sale. I may have missed something so just ask and ill try to answer your questions the best I can. Trucks located 25 miles north of charlotte NC and can be viewed anytime. My name is Ramsey 704-361-6786

Ford looks to protect logo from Toronto mayor followers
Fri, 15 Nov 2013One is a member of the Detroit Three and the maker of the Mustang, Fusion, Explorer and F-150. The other is an admitted loudmouthed, drunk-driving, crack-smoking mayor in Canada. Unfortunately for one, it shares its name with the other. Yes, Ford Motor Company is going to great lengths to keep its iconic Blue Oval logo from being appropriated by supporters of besieged Toronto mayor Rob Ford.
At a United Way event earlier this week, some of Mayor Ford's fans showed up with shirts that featured the automaker's logo with the words "Ford Nation," on them. Naturally, Mayor Ford signed them. FoMoCo was quick to issue an unhappy statement:
"Ford did not grant permission for use of its logo. We view it as an unauthorized use of our trademark and have asked it to be stopped," spokesperson Jay Cooney said. There was also a statement from Ford of Canada's Twitter account after a user alerted the company:
Shelby GT500 and Roush Stage 3 go head to head at the drag strip
Wed, 07 Aug 2013The Ford Mustang is a brilliantly affordable source of horsepower, with a base 300-plus-horsepower version available for well under $30,000. Jumping up to about $35,000 will get you a solid 420 horsepower from a high-revving V8, while those with some extra disposable income can get a pair of 600-plus-horsepower monsters. Both the Roush Stage 3 with its Phase 3 package and Ford's factory Shelby GT500 even crest the 650-horsepower mark, with 675 and 662 ponies, respectively.
Naturally, someone needed to find out which of these hi-po Mustangs was the quickest. And while this video is quite obviously a dealership commercial, at least there's some solid drag racing between two of the most powerful performance machines available for under $100,000.
With two NHRA drag racers at the wheel, the Stage 3 and GT500 go head to head for three races. Scroll down below to see the results in the full video.
Ford celebrating 80 years of Aussie utes as it prepares to shutter Oz manufacturing
Wed, 26 Feb 2014Ford is ending Australian production after 90 years in 2016, and with it may go perhaps the most iconic vehicles in its auto market - the ute. Car-based pickup trucks like the Ford Ranchero and Chevrolet El Camino were always more of a curiosity than a true market force here, but in Australia, they have long proven hugely popular.
As the legend goes, Ford invented the niche after a farmer's wife had asked Ford Australia's managing director for a more utilitarian car. Her request was simple: "My husband and I can't afford a car and a truck but we need a car to go to church on Sunday and a truck to take the pigs to market on Monday. Can you help?"
Ford's design team came up with a two-passenger, enclosed, steel coupe body with glass windows and a steel-paneled, wooden-frame load area in the rear. The sides of the bed were blended into the body to make it look more unified, and to keep costs down, the front end and interior were based on the Ford Model 40 five-window coupe. Power came from a V8 with shifting chores handled by a three-speed manual. Within a year, the new vehicle was ready, and production began in 1934. Lead designer Lewis Bandt christened it the coupe-utility.
