Offered For Sale at No Reserve by TED DAVIS AUTO SALES.  (Ted & Seth Davis)

We specialize in clean late model Repairables and Super Duty Ford Trucks. This one had a Repairable Salvage title and was fixed by us. 

It has been inspected by our DMV and now has a West Virginia Reconstructed Title which can be registered like any vehicle with a regular title. 

Certain banks or credit unions will not finance these type titles so please check on that before bidding if you need financing.

We require a $500 deposit by Paypal within 48 Hours and paid in full within 10 days.

NOTE: Please read the full description below on this amazing truck. 

Here we have a 2002 FORD F-450 FLATBED 4X4 with only 79,000 actual miles. The best part is the truck has the 7.3 Liter Power Stroke diesel. This is by far the best engine Ford offered in their trucks.  They have been well proven over the years to go 500,000 miles or more if maintained like this truck was. The other nice thing is most mechanic shops can repair them when something does go wrong unlike the newer diesels with emission controls on them. 

The F-450 is another plus on this truck. They are much heavier built than an F-250 or F-350 with thicker frames, heavy duty suspension, etc. and if you need big brakes and 14 Ply tires for pulling heavier trailers these are superior to any pickup truck or dually. In a lot of states they require this truck for pulling a tandem axle trailer because of the heavier GVW rating it has.

As you can see the truck is in excellent condition for the year with only a few small dings and scratches that we showed in the pictures. 

The truck had right side damage to an enclosed utility box that was on it since new. The Heating and Air Condition company that owned the truck gave us a great history on it when we called them so we proceeded to buy it from the insurance company and repair the truck for our retail lot. 

The enclosed utility body sustained most of the damage so we removed it and replaced it with a brand new Aluma Brand flatbed that has never been used. These are really nice beds. They will never rust and have all LED lights on them. They also have stake pockets for racks and an aluminum head board. 

There was also some light damage on the right cab corner and door so we replaced the door with another white door and repaired the cab corner.

The truck had no frame damage whatsoever and the power train was not touched since it was hit on the right front part of the utility bed and barely caught the cab corner. This came from a light T-bone type hit from someone running a Stop Sign at a low speed. Because the enclosed bed cost so much to replace the other driver's insurance company chose to total the truck so it was issued a Repairable Salvage title.

The truck turned out fantastic and you could never tell it was ever hit since most of the damage was removed with the bed. The work we done was very minor with the only repaired area that required any filler being down low on the right side cab corner. The used white door we had was near perfect and required no repairs at all. 

Once again this truck had very light damage and it still run and drove like a new one before any repairs were made. It starts like a 79K truck should with great battery power and Glow plugs working properly. It also shifts great with good shift pressure unlike a high mileage automatic would. The A/C blows ice cold and everything works 100% on it. It is going to make someone a great truck that will do the job for many years to come and will cost much less than 1/2 of the $60K new prices these days.

The pictures should show it well and we always describe exactly what we know but if you have any questions please give us a call at 304-567-2999 or e-mail us on the listing. Also you are more than welcome to come in person and test drive it. 

NOTE: The mileage may vary with a local test drive from our lot and we also reserve the right to sale the truck and end the auction early if someone local comes in. Otherwise it will run the full seven days and be sold to the highest bidder.

Thanks for looking at our listing and Good Luck bidding. Sincerely, Ted & Seth Davis

Enterprise customer billed $47k for Mustang stolen from rental lot

Sun, 05 Jan 2014

A weekend rental of a Ford Mustang GT Convertible sounds like a nice, relaxing way to burn some gas, but one Nova Scotia woman's two-day rental is turning into a months-long headache. In early October, Kristen Cockerill picked up the Mustang from Enterprise Rent-A-Car, and she returned it the following day as stipulated by the rental contract. Unfortunately, she dropped the car off on a Sunday - a day on which the particular Enterprise office is closed - and the car ended up being stolen overnight.
Now, two months later, CBC reports that Cockerill received a bill from Enterprise for the full replacement of the car totaling $47,271 (a base 2014 Mustang GT Convertible currently costs $40,349 in Canada). As it turns out, the fine print in the contract says that the renter is responsible for cars dropped off after hours until it can be inspected the next business day - this is also reflected on the key drop seen in the news report video, which states "vehicles returned after hours are the responsibility of the renter until inspected on the next business day."
It's not clear how much, if any, of that amount Cockerhill will be responsible for once her insurance company gets involved, but if the insurance company refuses to pay, Enterprise will bill the amount to the credit card she provided during her rental. While this ordeal is far over for Cockerhill, it's a good reminder for the rest of us to always read the fine print.

1969 Ford Talladega GPT Special is a SEMA showstopper

Thu, 07 Nov 2013

Rad Rides by Troy has unleashed upon the SEMA crowds this custom 1969 Ford Torino Talladega GT Special, and it's a beauty. The car calls to mind the classic Holman Moody stock cars that circled NASCAR tracks in the late 1960's, driven by the likes of Mario Andretti, Dan Gurney and David Pearson, who won the Grand National title in both 1968 and '69 in a Ford Torino.
Even though it has plenty of stock-car influence, there's nothing retro about the car's design or powertrain, other than the fact that the engine is based on a Ford Boss 429 block. Fuel injection, aftermarket aluminum heads and a high-tech custom computer system combine to send 750 reliable ponies to the rear wheels through a Tremec five-speed manual transmission. Brakes measure 14-inches all around, with six-piston Wilwood calipers up front and four-piston units out back.
There's custom bodywork abound, painted in a two-tone Tennessee Whiskey Gold and Daytona Sand finish. Check out all the amazing details in the image gallery below, and scroll down to read all about it in designer Troy Trepanier's own words.

Ford predicts it will finish 2013 as top-selling US brand

Mon, 30 Dec 2013

Ford is ready to call the ball on its 2013 sales totals, predicting a first-place finish for units sold in the US for a single brand. The company anticipates selling more than 2.4 million vehicles when all vehicle sales over the last 12 months have been tallied, repeating the victory it trumpeted over Toyota last year.
According to Ford's accounting, it sold 329,677 more vehicles than did Toyota in 2012. This year, the Blue Oval expects that margin to grow; through the end of November, Ford says it has outsold Toyota by 396,041 units.
Retail sales of Ford products are projected to exceed 1.7 million units for 2013 (the best retail result in 6 years for the company), with passenger cars accounting for 600k of that total. The redesigned Fusion is expected to crest the 290k mark, and the Fiesta is said to be ready to hit a model-record of 70k-plus. Meanwhile, utility vehicles and trucks are still paying a lot of bills in Dearborn, with the new Escape racking up an expected 300k sales and F-Series trucks chugging along at 688,810 units sold thru November.
