GR Auto Gallery is excited to present this 1987 Ford C8000 E-ONE Firetruck, an impressive and fully functional piece of firefighting history. Finished in striking Firetruck Red, this massive rig embodies the boldness and authority of a true emergency vehicle. Built on Ford's legendary C-Series chassis, this truck features classic industrial design elements like the split windshield, large chrome bumper, and side-access compartments that once stored vital equipment. It proudly still wears its "Legacy Financial Network" logos on each side, adding a unique touch of provenance and history. A mounted firehose up top, working emergency lights, and detailed E-ONE badging make this a remarkable example of an era when firetrucks were built as much for strength as they were for lasting visual impact.
Powering this machine is a 10.4-liter Caterpillar 3208 turbo diesel V8, paired with an automatic transmission. Known for its durability and torque, this engine provided the raw strength needed to haul heavy equipment and water tanks to emergency scenes with ease. Air brakes ensure confident stopping power, while the truck's sheer size and power remind you of its serious purpose. It's a piece of machinery that was engineered to perform under pressure and still operates with that same mechanical authority today.
Inside, the black leather bench seat offers a rugged and functional layout. The cab is outfitted with vintage communication and control systems, including a PA300 CB and PA system that remain operational, along with working sirens and horn controls. Every switch, lever, and gauge contributes to the sense that this was once a command center on wheels, designed to get the crew to any emergency safely and efficiently.
Around back, multiple compartments and storage bays line the body, each once home to hoses, tools, and rescue gear. The top-mounted firehose and operational lighting system complete the authentic presentation, making this truck ideal for collectors, departments, or enthusiasts looking for an attention-grabbing showpiece. Vehicles like this Ford C8000 represent more than just fire service, they symbolize American craftsmanship and community dedication.
