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

2015 Ford Mustang [w/videos]
Thu, 05 Dec 2013
It'd be unwise to bet against the sixth generation of this legendary nameplate.
The 2015 Ford Mustang is assuredly the most anticipated new vehicle of the year. The redesigned Pony Car has been the subject of frantic gossiping and covert spy photos covering everything from the way it looks to the tech it will include, its performance, mechanicals and a bevy of other aspects of Ford's performance icon.
Ford and BraunAbility team up for wheelchair-accessible Explorer
Fri, Jul 24 2015BraunAbility, a creator of wheelchair-accessible vehicles that are usually based on minivans, has teamed up with Ford to create the MXV, a vehicle the company hails as the first of its kind. In addition to the obvious exterior modifications that include sliding doors, this Explorer-based mobility vehicle has removable driver and passenger seats and a powered ramp that nestles into the vehicle's floor. Modifications to the regular Explorer platform will allow wheelchair users to operate the MXV from the driver's position with the normal seat removed, ride along as a front passenger, or enjoy 56 inches of cabin height in the middle row, which is large enough to accommodate most power wheelchairs. Best we can tell, there are no changes to the Explorer's powertrain, which means a 3.5-liter V6 engine with 290 horsepower and 255 pound-feet of torque will provide motivation, not to mention 5,000-pounds worth of towing capacity. Fuel economy from the MXV matches that of the Explorer, with 17 city, 24 highway, and 20 combined. The twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 isn't available. Unfortunately, all-wheel drive also isn't available from BraunAbility due to the lowered floor necessary to make the vehicle large enough to work as a proper mobility vehicle. Even so, the Explorer looks like a pretty nice platform with which to build such a wheelchair-accessible vehicle, with good looks, good driving manners, and the kind of rugged looks you can't find in a minivan. Expect to see the MXV at BraunAbility dealers this fall, but don't expect to be first in line. Vehicle No. 1 has been promised to wounded veteran Mike Delancey, a United States Marine paralyzed by a sniper's bullet while serving in Iraq in 2006. Take a look at the images above, and feel free to peruse the press release for all the details below.

Alan Mulally talks about why Ford's Falcon had to die
Tue, 20 Aug 2013When Ford made the decision to end production of the Falcon sedan and Territory CUV in Australia, it wasn't a popular move Down Under. The large, four-door Falcon had been in production for 50 years, and while Ford has reaffirmed its commitment to the Australian market, it's understandable that some people still aren't all that crazy about the Blue Oval's decision.
Speaking to CEO Alan Mulally after Ford's Go Further event in Sydney, Australian site Go Auto reports that the decision was not one made lightly, and that the automaker is doing everything possible to respect the Falcon and Territory's "stakeholders." It's an interesting piece that shows a softer side of a corporation, while demonstrating that Ford is doing everything in its power to make the end of production as smooth as possible for all parties.
Head over to Go Auto for the full series of remarks from Mulally, and then let us know what you think of Ford's handling of the Falcon and Territory discontinuations, in Comments.
