ATTENTION BIDDERS/POTENTIAL BIDDERS,

I just talked to my friend Larry on the phone. He has discovered that the title he holds in his name for this truck is one digit off on the VIN. The title states: "1951 Ford Pickup...VIN # F1RDL26781". The VIN on this truck is stamped into the passenger side frame rail, near the radiator, it is clearly stamped F1R1DL26781. I did some research on-line, and the fourth digit of the VIN should be the model year, "1" for '51...so it's definitely a typo on the title.

Today, Larry brought this to the attention of his DMV. They gave him all the paperwork required for a title correction to add that number 1 to the fourth VIN position. Larry was also able to get his town's Chief of Police over to his house to perform the required VIN inspection.

It may take a few weeks to receive the corrected title, but we aren't positive on that. Of course no money will be expected from the winning bidder, until Larry has the corrected title in hand. Full payment will NOT be due within 7 days of auction end. You'll also notice that no earnest money is due within 48 hrs of auction end.

If you are bidding on this truck, and you needed it right away, please accept my apologies and feel free to retract your bid.

Please call Larry with any questions, his phone number is listed in the original item description.

Thank you,

-Owen

Ford lowers MPG ratings on six vehicles

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

Ford has announced that it will be lowering the fuel economy ratings on a number of its 2013 and 2014 model year vehicles after an error was discovered in the company's internal testing data. The EPA has been notified.
Worryingly for Ford, the vast majority of the vehicles affected are hybrids, including the C-Max, Fusion and MKZ in both hybrid and plug-in varieties (where applicable). Also covered as part of the rerating is the entire lineup of 2014 Fiesta engines, with the exception of the ST, including the turbocharged, three-cylinder EcoBoost.
The C-Max was originally rated at 47/47/47 mpg, but dropped to 43/45/40 last year and now to 40/42/37.

Chip Ganassi Racing switches to the Ford EcoBoost-powered Riley Daytona Prototype

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates (CGRFS) announced yesterday at Ford's SEMA press conference that it will field a Ford-Riley Daytona Prototype with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 in the 2014 United SportsCar Championship (USCC). CGRFS is the second team to commit to the new Ford-Riley car, behind Michael Shank Racing (which has already used the racecar to break a 26-year-old top-speed record at Daytona International Speedway).
"Over the last 10 seasons we have been able to experience a great deal of success in Grand-Am," Chip Ganassi says, "and now with the dawn of the new United SportsCar Championship we feel that Ford power will be a key ingredient to writing the next chapter of our sports car program."
In the last Grand-Am season, CGRFS raced a BMW-Riley Daytona Prototype. The team has won seven Daytona Prototype championships, all in the past ten years. Scott Pruett and Memo Rojas return as the team's prototype co-drivers, and will attend their maiden race in the Ford-Riley at the Rolex 24 at Daytona in January.

Leno chooses his top 10 Mustangs

Sat, 14 Jun 2014

He may be a few months late to the party, but in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Ford Mustang, Jay Leno has delivered a short video in which he runs down which of the Blue Oval's pony cars from the past 50 years are his favorites.
The list is pretty darn similar to our own, with some of the big names from the Mustang's half century making an appearance, while there are three or four cars here that we think you'll be pretty surprised by.
Take a look below for this short video from Jay Leno's Garage.
