Super Duty Tow Truck on 2040-cars
Gold Beach, Oregon, United States

What i am putting up for auction is an old school rig. The short wheel base allows you to maneuver this rig anywhere. The two 20 K booms have about 150ft of cable, one is new on the spool , and I have another new cable inside the box, if you need to reach out farther then 150 ft.
One of the door's hinges ( on the box ) needs to be welded. Door still works . minor fix. I might get to it. I ave concentrated mainly on sanding/grinding any rust ( mostly surface ) and have applied 5 coats of Direct to metal primer/ and finish paint. I also plan on painting an Eagle on the hood. ....Of course. I was told the 7.3 has only 140, XXX but cannot verify. Motor is very tight, and other mechanic's that have looked at it believe it to be true. Has one new battery, the other is about 2 yrs old. Fire's right up. Oil pressure is around 50 psi. There is a block heater for the cold days, i have never used it. New radiator, probably from when the previous owner had been shot at after repo a vehicle.......I left the hole. . He had also replaced the clutch, so it has app. 1000 miles on the 5 speed. Micro lock braking system. 4 wheel disc brakes.Tire and brake's are in very good shape I had purchased Boomer ( she named it ) to use the cranes . There is a heavy duty hitch that can be attached to the wheel lift , so you could easily pull a trailer carrying heavy equipment. . This is gear low , (you don't want to take this over 55 ) but still doesn't get terrible mileage. I am figuring 14 mpg... Dual tanks, i have driven 300 miles , and still have fuel in both tanks. . As of right now, its about $100.00 ( 4.00 a gallon for diesel here ) to fill it up. |

This unique '64 Mustang was Edsel Ford II's first car
Thu, 02 Jan 2014You probably had the same dream when you were a teenager. Your sixteenth birthday is coming up, or Christmas, or maybe both, and all you want is a muscle car to call your own. That dream has come true for some, and one of them was none other than Edsel Ford II.
Henry Ford's great grandson turned 16 on December 27, 1964 - two days after Christmas and eight months after the original Mustang went on sale. And that's just what was waiting for him in the driveway, courtesy of his father (and reigning chief executive) Henry Ford II.
The specially-prepared pony car had a pearlescent cream paintjob with narrow blue racing stripes, functional hood scoop, chrome trim, Euro-spec fender-mounted mirrors, a blue leather and aluminum interior, a monogrammed fuel cap... and a 289-cubic-inch V8 under the hood.
Ford Focus was best-selling nameplate in 2012
Tue, 09 Apr 2013Last August, Ford made a few waves by claiming that the Ford Focus was, at that point, the top-selling car in the world. The automaker failed to account for variations of the Toyota Corolla wearing a different name (such as the Auris and Matrix), however. With official data from Polk coming in now, Ford is able to say that the Focus was, in fact, the best-selling nameplate in the world last year.
Using new-car registrations (which doesn't factor in fleet sales), the Polk data shows that a total of more than one million Focus models around the world. Strong sales in the US and China have led to a 16 percent increase in year-over-year Focus sales from 2011 that helped to create even more of a gap between it and the second-best global seller, the Corolla.
Ford also had the Fiesta and F-Series listed in the top 10 for worldwide nameplates, but what's even more impressive is the fact that the F-Series is only sold in North America. Scroll down to see the list (compiled by Ford using Polk data) of the top global sellers last year and a press release from Ford.
Ford files trademark application for 'Model E'
Fri, 27 Dec 2013In early December, Ford filed an application with the US Patent and Trademark Office for the name "Model E." Historically, Ford never produced a Model E, and while automakers are known to file for trademarks they never use, some have wondered if the application might be used for a concept car.
Based on other recent events, though, it could be a legal move. In 2000 Ford sued an online start-up called Model E over the similarity of that name to Ford's industry-shaping Model T, but the judge dismissed the case citing lack of proper grounds. In August 2013, Tesla applied for trademark registration for Model E, and at the time, Ford said it would review the application. Tesla actually made two applications for Model E, one for automobiles and structural parts therefore, the other for "providing maintenance and repair services for automobiles," and there are plenty of theories about what the name could be applied to.
The Published for Opposition date for Tesla's applications is December 31, 2013, after which anyone who thinks they'd be harmed by Tesla being granted the trademark gets 30 days to register their issues. This is just speculation, but Ford's application - which was filed for automobiles only - might be about protecting what it sees as unwelcome encroachment on the name Model T, protection it wasn't able to enforce before when the stakes were only online and much smaller.
