1947 Ford Coe Original Flathead V8 Rollback on 2040-cars

Year:1947 Mileage:32799

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.

2015 Ford F-150 specs revealed, EcoBoost 2.7L to make 325 hp and 375 lb-ft [w/video]

Tue, 22 Jul 2014

Our new man Greg Migliore is in attendance at a Ford media event at the Blue Oval's Dearborn, MI headquarters today, and he's reported in with a handful of the 2015 F-150 stats that we've been dying to know. Ford is slow-playing the news release here, but we can still offer up some interesting output and performance figures after half-year of waiting.
We have all be quite aware that Ford's shift to aluminum construction would save a lot of weight for F-150 models, and the results we're hearing now are duly impressive. For instance: in Super Crew trim, a 2015 F-150 is a whopping 732-pounds lighter than was its closest 2014-model-year equivalent. That's like hauling three middle-aged dudes to your bowling alley's league night for free. Polish your balls, guys.
Ford isn't willing to offer up any actual curb weights just yet, but if we take that 732-pound loss and extrapolate with the 5,128-pound curb weight of the 2014 F-150 Super Crew with the 3.7-liter V6, we can guesstimate that 2015 models will measure out in the 4,400-pound range. That's impressive.

Rowan Atkinson crashes at Goodwood Revival

Sun, 14 Sep 2014

To quote Harry Hogge (played by Robert Duvall) in Days of Thunder, "rubbin, son, is racin'." That can mean some unfortunate damage to high-end racing machinery, which may be repaired easily enough in stock car racing, but when it comes to vintage racing, the stakes can be that much higher. And yet incidents do occur, like at this weekend's Goodwood Revival.
Among the many competitors taking part in the retro racing event in England was none other than Rowan Atkinson, the actor perhaps best known for playing Mr. Bean. Driving a classic Ford Falcon Sprint in the Shelby Cup event, Atkinson (pictured above at the 2012 revival) reportedly crashed head-on into another car on track.
According to reports, the two cars up spun out. The driver in between managed to avoid a pile-up, but Atkinson couldn't steer clear and hit the obstructing vehicle. Fortunately Rowan walked away unscathed (and, we imagine, in a humorous manner), but while we don't know how extensive the damage was to the Falcon, it was enough to take it out of the race.

1964 Ford GT40 prototype sells for $7M

Mon, 14 Apr 2014

Seven-figure Ferraris are not horribly rare. Heck, an eight-figure Ferrari isn't a rare occurrence. Between modern masterpieces like the Enzo and more classic offerings, cracking the million-dollar mark isn't a particularly tall order for the cars from Maranello. For a Ford, though, it's a big deal.
Now, this is not just some rare Mustang. This is a GT40, the car that Henry Ford II commissioned to whip Enzo Ferrari around a track in France. As far as the Le Mans-winning racers go, they don't get much rarer than this one. Sold at the Mecum Auctions in Houston, this is one of the prototypes, meaning it's one of the very first GT40s ever built. That makes its $7 million winning a bid, a record for on-air coverage of the auction, a pretty darn impressive figure.
You can watch the auction below, but first, take a look back at our original story on this rare Blue Oval.
