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

Ford Mustang to get four-cylinder in Europe, but not US

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

Fans of the Ford Mustang SVO, which was produced from 1884 through 1986 with a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine and a manual transmission, may be interested to know that Ford is reportedly going to introduce something similar for 2015. But don't get too excited if you live in the US, as Edmunds reports that the vehicle will be offered in Europe only. Boo!
According to the report, Ford will put a version of its EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder into the engine bay of the Mustang. The engine would be enlarged from its current 2.0 liters to 2.3 liters, taking horsepower from 252 to around 300. The well-known 5.0 V8 engine will also be available in Europe.
"The Mustang is uniquely Ford and has a huge fan base here in Europe. Now those fans have something to look forward to and we look forward to providing more details in the near future," says Ford of Europe CEO Stephen Odell. That's great... but why not offer buyers in the States the (likely) fuel-efficient turbo option, too?

Car and Driver lists 10Best for 2013, same as it ever was

Wed, 05 Dec 2012

Forgive us for having the distinct feeling of déjà vu, but it certainly feels like we've been here before. By that we are referring Car and Driver and the announcement of its annual 10Best vehicles for 2013. To be sure, it's an impressive selection of cars that combine heart-pounding performance and frugal sensibilities, but it also represents something of a broken record on the part of C/D. We're not so sure that's a flaw, though, as the resulting list is tough to argue with.
Vehicles like the Ford Mustang, Porsche Boxster, and BMW 3 Series have maintained their high-horsepower spots on this list for several years now. Even on the more practical and nimble end, the Honda Accord, Honda Fit and Mazda Miata have not budged. These continued spots are even in light of redesigns for some vehicles such as the Accord, Boxster and 3 Series.
In fact, the only newcomer to the 10Best list this year are the Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ twins, which knocked out the Cadillac CTS-V. We think it would have been a huge misstep to have excluded the FR-S/BRZ, even in light of the supercharged Caddy's lamentable departure from 10Best.

Transit Courier completes Ford's new commercial van line, will we get it?

Sat, 13 Apr 2013

This week Ford rolled out the 2014 Transit Courier, the fourth addition to its Transit range. Ford says its the first time for the nameplate in the compact van segment.
"Ford has now completely transformed its commercial vehicle line-up, with four all-new, class-leading Transits for European customers," said Barb Samardzich, vice president of product development for Ford Europe. "With the all-new Transit range, we expect sales to grow to 400,000 units per year by 2016, well over 50 percent more than we sell today."
When the Courier goes on sale in the Spring of 2014, it will offer more than 1,400 pounds of payload capacity, multiple mounting points for racks or other framework and a rear cargo area that can carry items 5.3 feet-long. An optional folding passenger seat boosts the cargo length to 8.5 feet.
