flex pic of the "Blitz"

Post by Snarba »

This is not at full flex but I don't imagine it goes much further, maybe a foot or two. It's a wild old ride I tell you....no shockies, or brakes at the moment ( good handbrake ) the winch works well and the cable is in great shape! :D

Nice Blitz! Saw one recently at the bullarto vintage tractor pull, did a demo run, think it got pretty close to a full pull, cant remember what weight it was pulling tho, was up just before the 2 stroke chamberlain super 70's so wouldn't have been bad!

Its a Ford CMP "Blitz" made in 1943 running an old flat top V8. I plan to just get it running good and use it round my block moving timber n rocks and pulling my buggy outa the creek from time to time :D might look into vintage rego at some stage...it would definately be a novelty at an event but I reckon the Mogrover would still hold "recovery vehicle" honours...these trucks weren't made to turn corners :) till next update...

You're not the only that thinks it is beautiful. I love ugly as well.

Bring on the Blitz, I am surprise we haven't seen more of them on here though. I want one preferably hauling a 25pdr along behind

They are not rare or hard to find if you really want them.
