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

Chris Harris pits Fiesta ST against Mercedes G63 AMG in 0-60 battle... sort of

Thu, 01 Aug 2013

Vehicle performance tests are serious business, with reputations made or broken by things like braking distance, top speed, and lateral g-forces. King of the metrics, though, is the 0-60 run, which for unknown reasons has become the benchmark for what truly makes a car a performance machine.
Now, Chris Harris from Drive has turned the whole idea behind the sprint to 60 on its ear. Taking a new Ford Fiesta ST, Harris asks a simple question: would the ST be quicker to 60 on its own, or on a trailer being towed by a Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG?
It's a fair question, really. The Fiesta Harris tested hit 60 in 7.2 seconds on a slightly uphill section of runway. It should be noted that Harris quotes his ST at 182 horsepower, which is about 15 ponies less than what we're getting in the US, so these numbers might not hold up all that well against an American model. The G63 AMG, meanwhile, is a 536-horsepower monster, powered by a twin-turbo V8 that, able to propel the big SUV to 60 mph in just 5.2 seconds without towing a Fiesta.

Google's new Android Autos OS unveiled, will be in cars this year [w/video]

Wed, 25 Jun 2014

Connected cars are coming en-masse. We know this much. How, though, remains something of an open question, especially as two of the world's largest tech companies are preparing to battle for control of your car's dashboard. On the one hand, we have Apple and its CarPlay system. And now, we know what Google has been working on with Auto Link.
Its new name is Android Auto, and yes, it's based off the Android architecture that is the primary challenger to Apple's iOS mobile operating system. Announced at Google's I/O conference today, Android Auto functions similarly to CarPlay - owners will need to plug their smartphones into their cars to access the full breadth of capability.
In Android Auto's case, that means a wealth of voice controls to limit distracted driving. Google's marquee apps will be available when the interface arrives in production models later this year, including Google Play Music, Google Maps and voice-activated texting and text playback. Meanwhile, developers will be able to begin designing custom apps for the new system via an upcoming software development kit.
