Yes, this is the real deal...
This is the rare show truck you have been seeking for years, with a low starting bid and no reserve.

64,721 Miles - Strongly believed to be actual!

Very Low starting price and NO RESERVE. 
NOTE: We hate to have to to this; but the tire-kickers, low-ballers, bottom-feeders, and other undeveloped lifeforms are brutal. If you do not have cash, permission from your spouse, and a healthy respect for how crazy-low the starting price is, please do not bother wasting either of our time. If there are not any real buyers paying attention on ebay, I'll just take it to Barrett-Jackson in the fall with my other cars, where it will go BIG. If you have a Buyitnow offer above the opening bid amount (before there is an opening bid); we will consider it.
To be fair, we will be very reluctant to pull it down once there is an opening bid.  So... the best way to get it is to bid early.              

1951 Ford F1 Original/Matching number V8 Flathead with correct Vermillion Red in base/clear
0 miles since complete Frame-off restoration.

Laser straight with best-of-show paint job.  We were able to find the formula for the Vermillion Red on the trim tag and it is correct.

Flathead V-8 runs smoothly and starts quickly. Battery relocated from subfloor to firewall

Very rare long-wrap rear bumper.
Grille teeth were painted the correct silver/gray
Bumpers and running boards correct gloss black

New Interior and Carpet, New chrome on hood, Glass is clear and excellent.

Replaced the entire 6v wiring harness to match factory

New wood with 7 coats of clear (top & bottom).

Tires are in great shape

Obviously it is an AS-IS 63 year old truck
Clear Texas title and 5-year Classic registration to drive today
It can go straight from the transport truck to the car show next weekend in your town.

We have a few local dealers sniffing around, so we reserve the right to end early, but they do not move very fast.
I have great respect for real buyers & sellers on fleabay, but emails from low-ballers and the illiterate will not be answered.

With contract expiration days away, UAW targets GM first for negotiations

Tue, Sep 3 2019

The United Auto Workers union on Tuesday said that it would target General Motors as the first of the Detroit automakers for talks ahead of the current four-year contract's expiration on Sept. 14. This year's contract talks between the union and GM, Ford and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV are expected to be contentious as U.S. new vehicle sales are slowing and automakers face rising costs associated with the development of electric vehicles and self-driving cars. Rising healthcare costs, job security, profit sharing and the use of temporary workers are expected to be major sticking points. GM in particular has been a target of union ire since announcing the closure of five North American plants late last year. That move drew a wave of criticism, including from U.S. President Donald Trump. Trump has repeatedly prodded GM and last week said the No. 1 U.S. automaker should begin moving its operations in China back to the United States. "We are prepared and we are all ready to stand up for our members, our communities and our manufacturing future," UAW President Gary Jones said in a statement. In a statement, GM said, "We look forward to having constructive discussions with the UAW on reaching an agreement that builds a strong future for our employees and our business." The contracts come at a difficult time for the UAW, as a federal corruption investigation into the union continues to grow. Last week, the FBI conducted searches at Jones' home, a union retreat and multiple other locations, including the home of the union's previous president, Dennis Williams. To date, seven people linked to the union and the automaker have been sentenced in the government's corruption investigation. Reporting by Nick Carey.

Ford blamed in drug mule lawsuit

Tue, 30 Jul 2013

If a college student is caught smuggling drugs across the border, one might think the kid got what was coming to him. But when a Mexican student at the University of Texas in El Paso was caught by Border Patrol agents with duffel bags filled with marijuana in his trunk, the man used a classic excuse: He claimed they weren't his.
While a claim like that is almost unbelievable, Ricardo Magallanes, the student, is now suing Ford for handling its vehicles' key codes negligently enough to allow drug smugglers to break into his Ford Focus and stash the drugs, The Daily Caller reports. The twist here is that four other people who lived in Juarez and worked in El Paso were involved in the same type of scheme - allegedly unwittingly, just like Magallanes - and all the cars were Fords except one model from General Motors. FBI agents also found an employee at a Dallas Ford dealership that had accessed the key codes to all four of the cannabis-stuffed Fords.
While we all may not own Fords, the case still causes us slight paranoia. We'll definitely be checking our trunks before we cross any more international borders.
