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. |

Ford calling in 28k Edge crossovers over fuel line leak
Thu, 16 Jan 2014A problem with the fuel line on certain examples of the Ford Edge has prompted the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall. The issue revolves around the metal housing on the fuel line pulse damper, which was apparently improperly manufactured in the first place and is prone to crack in certain circumstances, leading to a fuel leak. And as we all know, a fuel leak is not a good thing.
The problem affects model year 2012 and 2013 Edge crossovers equipped with the 2.0-liter engine and manufactured between September 2, 2010 and April 25, 2013 - a total of 27,933 units. Although the Lincoln MKX is closely related to the Edge, since it isn't offered with the same engine (to which the problem is related), the recall does not include the premium-badged version. See the recall notice below for further details.
Ford recalls select Explorer, E-Series vans
Tue, 21 Jan 2014Just a few days ago we brought you news that Ford had issued a recall on 28,000 units of the Edge crossover for problems related to the fuel line. But now the Blue Oval has issued recall notices on two more of its larger vehicles.
The first relates to the Explorer, 395 examples of which from the 2011 and 2012 model years were found to have problems with their steering systems if they underwent service after September 1, 2013. An apparent software glitch could lock the steering gear, preventing the driver from steering the vehicle and thereby increasing the risk of a crash. As a result, Ford dealers are being instructed to check their records to identify the problematic vehicles and bring them in to have the steering gear replaced. Details of the recall can be found in the PDF linked here.
The second problem revolves around E-Series vans that may develop bubbles in their windshields under hot temperatures. The decrease in visibility through the problematic windshield could - you guessed it - "increase the risk of a crash." As a result, Ford is calling in 4,532 units of the E-150, E-250, E-350 and E-450 vans built in the relatively short window between May 12 and May 26, 2011. Details of this recall can be found in the notice below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Verizon buys Telogis in connected vehicle market push
Wed, Jun 22 2016(Note/disclaimer: We are owned by Verizon, by way of AOL. This gives us no inside track whatsoever when it comes to news.) With a lot of tech companies and automakers staking their claims in the connected car space, now there are signs that others are looking to move in, too. Today, telecoms giant Verizon announced that it is acquiring Telogis, a California-based company that develops cloud-based solutions for mobile workforces, and specifically telematics, compliance and navigation software used by Ford, Volvo, GM and other car companies, as well as Apple and AT&T. Financial terms of the deal have not been disclosed, although we'll try to find out. Considering that Verizon in 2015 reported full-year revenues of $131.6 billion, the price would have to be very high to be considered "material" and may not be made public for some time, if ever. Telogis in its time as a startup raised a substantial amount of money, just over $126 million in all, including $93 million in 2013, supposedly ahead of an IPO, all from Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers. Back in 2013 when KPCB made its investment (which was the first from a VC firm in the company), Telogis told TechCrunch it was profitable and forecasting revenues of $100 million annually for the year. It's not clear what size those revenues are now, but if it was on the same growth trajectory as before the funding, sales would be around $150 million annually, with profitability, at the moment. Other investors include some very notable strategics: the investment arm of General Motors, and Fontinalis Partners, which also invests in Lyft and was co-founded by Bill Ford, the executive chairman of the Ford Motor Company. Before the acquisition, Verizon actually had a business in fleet management and telematics; in fact, the two companies competed against each other for business from the trucking and other industries. Verizon Telematics, as the business is called, is active in 40 countries. But in a way, Verizon buying Telogis is a sign that the latter may have proved to be the more superior, and the one with the key customer deals.
