1976 Ford F750 Crew Cab Oleynik Enclosed Race Car Transporter- Vintage Car Safe on 2040-cars
Petaluma, California, United States
|
I purchased this truck about three years ago from a well regarded PNW vintage racer who put one race car inside and another on a trailer and towed everything to the track. When I bought the truck it was in storage in southern California. A friend flew down to pick it up, loaded in a Buick Skylark in LA and drove it to San Francisco without incident. I had plans to preserve the vintage character but upgrade to diesel power. That project never was initiated. Instead the truck has served as a rolling garage and tow truck for my street Alfa Romeos. The paint appears to be original, but the gloss is long gone. All the body panels appear original condition. No evidence of collision damage/repair. The interior is in very good condition. No rips or tears in the vinyl seats, front or rear. Carpet is fine. Headliner should be replace as some water intrusion has warped the backing board. The box is 20' x 8' x 8'. Tee side compartments include a gas generator for trackside repairs. Rear roll-up door is wood, and is starting to rot on the bottom panel (seen only from inside) and should be replaced. The interior paneling is in good condition. The solid oak floor is in excellent condition. Electric winch is recessed into the floor. Fiberglass roof fairing. Good tIres including a spare front tire/wheel. The engine is a V8, 5sp manual, 2sp differential. Hydraulic brakes. LR brake cylinder leaks. Pinion seal leaks. Steering gear box has a lot of play in it. This truck has been largely off the road for a few years and requires some attention (wheel cylinder, steering gear box) to be ready for anything more than a cross town haul, mostly because of the wheel cylinder. Good oil pressure. Gauges work, lights work, turn signals work. To travel any considerable distance the truck should be transported on a flat bed trailer to your location. The wheel cylinder can be repaired locally for a couple hours labor at a reputable big rig shop. I can arrange the repairs for the buyer prior to pick up.
NO RESERVE! THIS TRUCK WILL SELL TO THE BEST BID This truck is outdoors in a secured location and does not have to be moved immediately. If you purchase the truck it can stay until summer, rent-free. The truck is located in Sonoma County, 40 minutes north of San Francisco, CA. |

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.
Ford recalling nearly 700k Escape CUVs, C-Max hybrids over two separate safety issues
Fri, 09 May 2014Poor Escape. Ever since its launch in 2012, Ford's small CUV has been the subject of many, many, many recalls. And today, The Detroit News is reporting that Ford is adding two more recalls to the 2013-14 model year Escape's permanent record, one of them also involves the C-Max hybrid hatchback.
The first recall, covering 692,500 Escape and C-Max vehicles, is due to a software glitch that could cause the airbags - specifically, the safety canopy - to not deploy in a timely fashion during rollover crashes. According to the News, Ford says no crashes or injuries have been reported in relation to this problem.
The second recall, covering 692,700 Escapes, is related to the door handles. The News reports that the exterior door handles could open while the vehicle is in motion, and could also fail to latch properly. Once again, no crashes or injuries have occurred because of this. The National Highway Safety Traffic Administration has not issued an official notice on either recall as of this writing.
2015 Ford Mustang specs revealed, GT to pack 435 HP
Thu, 17 Jul 2014The 2015 Ford Mustang sounds great so far - at least on paper. Ford has just announced specs for the latest version of the iconic pony car in Dearborn, telling Autoblog that it will pump out as much as 435 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque from its 5.0-liter V8.
Those gaudy figures power the naturally aspirated GT model, and they easily eclipse the "more than" 420 hp and 390 lb-ft that Ford originally estimated.
The 2.3-liter turbocharged EcoBoost four-cylinder makes 310 hp and 320 lb-ft, and it's the first turbo Mustang since the 1986 SVO.
