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

Subcompact sales slump, yet again
First Ford Mustang prototype shots caught by legendary spy shooter Jim Dunne
Fri, 12 Apr 2013You know how people refer to someone as having "been around the block" to mean they're very experienced? Well, when it comes to automotive spy photography, Jim Dunne actually laid down the concrete slabs of the block's sidewalk. The unforgettable Dunne more or less invented the car spy game - a fact he cemented by writing book called Car Spy - and has been delivering spy shots and reporting on the industry for some 45 years now. (He also once employed this writer as his impromptu personal chauffer on a Volkswagen trip in Germany, while he slept, but that's a story for a different time.)
In any event, Dunne must be on a mission to prove that "elder statesman" doesn't also mean "washed up" as it is his shots of the upcoming new 2014 Ford Mustang that we've been handed by our friends at KGP Photography.
Mr. Dunne has likely spent the last few years obtaining powerful telescopic lenses, as the Ford in question has clearly been photographed from some distance. Nevertheless, what you see here is visual evidence that the sixth-generation Mustang has moved beyond the mule stage, and is now testing in proper prototype form. Sources indicate that there are production-spec body panels under that baggy canvass dress; but the slightly less bulky silhouette of the new car can be just made out. While the car's bumpers have been removed to obfuscate things, we can tell by way of the camo's apertures that the car's taillights have moved upwards and towards the lip of the tail. A fender vent appears to be visible, too, just behind the front wheel.
Ford adding stop-start to all major model lines
Sun, 24 Nov 2013Ford has gone all-in on its efforts to offer most of its new vehicles with a fuel-efficient EcoBoost engine, but the automaker is reportedly preparing to take another big step toward improving vehicle efficiency. Automotive News is reporting that Ford will soon expand the availability of start-stop technology, which was first offered - presumably the first non-hybrid vehicle, that is - on the 2013 Fusion (equipped with the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine) as a $295 option.
The benefit of start-stop is reduced fuel consumption as it shuts the engine off at long stops, and AN quotes Ford as saying that drivers can save more than $1,000 on fuel costs over five years. Despite this, the option hasn't been popular on the Fusion thus far, but it could be more beneficial on bigger vehicles like the F-150. Ford also said that the next-gen Edge, which was previewed in concept form at the LA Auto Show, will be equipped with auto start-stop to help make the EcoBoost engines even more efficient.
