1951 Ford F1 Original V8 Flathead & Vermillion Red, 0 Miles Since Frame-off - Nr on 2040-cars

Year:1951 Mileage:64721
Location:

Houston, Texas, United States

Houston, Texas, United States

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.

Amelia Island 2013: 50 years of the Ferrari-slaying Ford GT40

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

Originally developed with the sole purpose of being a Ferrari rival to compete at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Ford GT40 became a prominent racing machine in the 1960s in both Europe and the US. Not wanting to leave such an important car out of the fun, the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance also took time out from its other celebrations to recognize the 50-year anniversary of the GT40.
Over its short lifespan, the GT40 was offered in a handful of configurations, but the classic short-tailed (Mk I and Mk II) bodystyles were well represented... especially in Gulf livery. James Glickenhaus (of Ferrari P4/5 fame) had his bright yellow Mk IV in the field, and there were several others in this bodystyle, including one that has seen plenty of time on the track judging by its chipped-up nose.
As a fitting statement for the car's lengthy racing history, GT40 Chassis Number 1075 won this year's Concours de Sport award. This car took home the checkered flag at Le Mans in 1968 and 1969, and racked up a total of six wins in just 11 races.

Amazon looking to bring Kindle to your next car?

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

Maybe so. The online retailer and digital media monolith recently announced the Amazon Cloud Player, an application for Ford Sync that allows users to stream media from their Amazon Cloud account directly to a Ford vehicle. This foray into automotive technology got the minds at Gigaom.com thinking about what could be next for Amazon. As Kevin Fitchard writes, the logical step is to make audio versions of your Kindle library selections available in your car. As he points out, Amazon has already laid the groundwork for such a move.
Amazon pulled the sheets back on Whispersync for Voice last year. The tech pairs ebooks with an Audible book for a small extra fee, allowing users to either read along with a narrator or switch between audio and text versions on command. Fitchard says it wouldn't be some great leap to apply the same principles to a car, where voice recognition software would allow users to pause or select chapters without ever taking their eyes off of the road.
It all sounds just fine to us, but Amazon hasn't said a thing about such a move. Still, we wouldn't be surprised to see the company come down this road in the near future just the same.

Hot Wheels' 2022 Green Speed cars bring EVs to small scale

Sun, Apr 24 2022

With more and more EVs hitting the market, it was only a matter of time before the new breed of cars would find representation in diecast form. For 2022, Hot Wheels is coming out with a new Green Speed series that puts the spotlight on a diverse lineup of electric cars. The five-car series features a fun mix of EVs from different manufacturers and in a wide range of styles. Some are completely bone stock. For a traditional luxury sedan, there's a Lucid Air in silver, complete with glass (or in this case, clear plastic) canopy. For fans of Teutonic 4-door "coupes" there's the Audi RS e-Tron GT in Daytona Gray. Ticking the truck box is a Hummer EV in a yellow that can only be described as a throwback to the H3. But because this is Hot Wheels, there are "hot-rodded" variants in the lineup as well. Rather than just a regular Nissan Leaf, they've elected to cast the carbon fiber-bodied NISMO RC 2.0 race car. Likewise with Ford, instead of the standard Mustang Mach-E, they've gone with the Mustang Mach-E 1400 drift car. This isn't the first time Hot Wheels has put out a Green Speed series. The line debuted in 2016 but reflected the limited EV choices in the real car market at the time. The only non-fantasy cars in the series were a first-gen Tesla Roadster, a Tesla Model S, and Chevy Volt. Hot Wheels revisited the line again in 2019, this time adding a Tesla Model 3 and a Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo. Hot Wheels also makes other mini EVs that don't fall into this specific line of models. If you want to collect 'em all, there's the second-generation Tesla Roadster concept, Cybertruck, Jaguar I-Pace, Pininfarina Battista, Porsche Taycan, and a Volkswagen ID R. Similarly, Matchbox has released a version of the Tesla Roadster with sustainable packaging to boot. If you must have an old school gasoline burner, Hot Wheels has plenty of options for you too, like, say, this snazzy FJ60 Toyota Land Cruiser. The 2022 Hot Wheels Green Speed series should be on shelves at your local retailers now. Related Video:
