1928 AHRENS FOX FIRE ENGINE for sale

Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2.25) based on 322 votes
This truck has been owned by a non-profit organization in the Watts community of South Central Los Angeles since 1967.

The truck has been moved around over the years from storage facility to another.

We now want to sell the truck so that a museum or other collector can restore it to its original glory as the "Deusenberg" or "Rolls Royce" of Fire Engines.

In the 1920's. Ahrens-Fox's bread and butter products were still engines with the distinctive front-mounted piston pumper.

But in 1928. the company introduced a companion line of 500. 00 and 800 gpm pumpers equipped with midship-mounted rotary gear pumps.

The Ahren's Fox Rotary style pumper featured a "double-seal" rotary gear pump patented by Charles H. Fox.

One of the models was G-N-80-4.

In this model designation. G indicates Gear pump. N is for Ahrens-Fox Model N (5-1/2" x 7") T-Head Motor. 80 stands for 800 GPM pump capacity and 4 indicates is equipped with a booster tank.

On this truck. there are no visible serial numbers or model information.

After looking at many photographs of the Ahren's Fox line of pumpers. I concluded that this truck is the 1928 N series with the massive 6 cylinder in-line engine.
