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

2016 Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang rated at 526 hp, 429 lb-ft

Tue, Jun 2 2015

When Ford debuted the Shelby GT350 Mustang at the LA Auto Show last year, we were told it'd have more than 500 horsepower and over 400 pound-feet of torque. And indeed it does; Ford confirmed today that its hot 'Stang will make 526 hp at 7,500 rpm and 429 lb-ft at 4,750 rpm. Compared to the GT350's main rival, the Chevy Camaro Z/28, that's an increase of 21 hp, but a loss of 52 lb-ft. That said, this Mustang packs some serious prowess, especially in its most hardcore GT350R trim. It sounds pretty wicked, too. It's worth noting that both the standard GT350 and GT350R use the same engine, with the same output ratings. It's also worth noting that this is a flat-plane-crank engine. It's the most powerful naturally aspirated engine Ford has ever made, with 102 hp per liter. Redline is 8,250 rpm. It's a lightweight engine, too – the 5.2-liter mill weighs less than Ford's own 5.0-liter Coyote V8. Perhaps most impressive is the price point for the 2016 Shelby GT350. The standard car comes in at $47,870, while the GT350R will command $61,370 Â– a big drop over the Camaro Z/28 and it's $73,300 sticker price (including destination but not gas guzzler charges). Ford confirmed the power output news at a media briefing today near its headquarters in Dearborn, MI. Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available. Related Video:

Tanner Foust tackles 'Ring in SVT Raptor

Sat, 16 Mar 2013

Here's a math problem: if Tanner Foust has a 24 hours to kill in Germany and one blue Ford Raptor, how long will it take him to decide he wants to lap The Nürburgring? Extra credit if you can get your answer precise to the millisecond.
A very truck-like and slidey lap of the 'Ring is exactly what happened when the Ford-sponsored rallycross driver took time off from set-up duties for his 'day job.' Thankfully no one even thought to worry about posting a time, but you can watch some Raptor skid marks getting laid down between the kerbs in the video below.

2014 Ford Mustang GT

Fri, 17 May 2013

I was more than a year removed from my last experience with the Mustang GT and its delicious 5.0 V8 when this new 2014 example rolled up to my driveway recently. Good weather and a planned road trip across the state meant that I would get plenty of seat time in this conservatively specified example, too. In total, I logged about 400 miles in a week of driving - not a lot for some of you super commuters out there, but quite a lot for this work-from-home journalist.
The basic formula of the 5.0 has stayed the same for 2014. The 2013 model year saw a number of updates to keep the Mustang fresh until it's replaced with an all-new generation for 2015. So, for its bon voyage tour, the fifth-generation Pony Car has seen only a few modifications: a couple of new paint colors (Oxford White and Ruby Read Metallic), trim and wheel revisions and, sadly, the deletion of the Boss 302 from the Ford lineup. However, while the limited-edition Boss is likely to reappear sometime after the gen-six Mustang makes its debut in 2015, the GT Track Package cars like the one I tested provide at least a partial solution for those looking for hot laps.
