For Sale is my 1966 Bronco Sport. I bought this in 2009 as a restoration project. I did all the work myself except the paint. It took me 7 months of evenings and weekends to complete. It was originally uncut and I left it that way for a year. Eventually, I could not stand having the wheels I really wanted so I cut the fenders and installed the bushwacker fender flares. I kept the cutouts in case someone would want to revert it back. My goal for this bronco was not for it to be a show truck, although it has been in a few. I built it purely for the purpose of hunting and fishing. I used it to launch my boat into the river from my property and to hunt the mountains of North Central PA (primarily in Potter and Clinton County). For hunting in the mountains I've taken this back some of the most remote unplowed roads available, I never got stuck and it always gets me home or gets the deer out. I have a new project now and need the garage space.
For the restore I replaced nearly every mechanical part available. New brakes, drums, shoes, lines, reservoir, radiator, alternator, headlight switch,am/fm cd radio, fuel pump, electronic ignition, rebuilt carb, all new door hinges, latches, all new body mounts (mounts are 1" thicker than stock, providing a one inch lift), bronco II mirrors, washer and pump, and more. The top end of the engine has been rebuilt with new valves and gaskets. It is the original 6cylinder engine, which is an early 66 engine, since it has solid lifters (same engine as was in the ford econoline, had to get help from a very old mechanic to figure out how to adjust the valves). I left the inside fairly stock except for the rear seat which is an after market with seat belts (required to take the grandkids for a ride). I keep the bronco at my hunting camp near Lock Haven, PA. I have thousands invested and many receipts. I have replaced many more parts than I have listed. It always passes inspection and is super dependable. However, its an old school ride with 3 on the tree manual shifting, hand choke to warm it up, and its geared very low so not an ideal highway vehicle. When I do take in on the highway I usually do not go over 55mph, the 31" tires have an aggressive tread and are quite noisy over 45mph. I'm not revealing the reserve, but it is much lower than the buy it now price, and very fair given the condition of the bronco.
Not included in the sale are the air horns, gun racks, and grenade shifter. Included, but not pictured, with the buy it now price is an assortment of spare bronco parts: stock bumpers, completed upholstery kit for front and rear stock seats, adapter and 2 barrel carb (to upgrade from 1barrel), and numerous other parts like battery box and a tailgate. Fender cutouts are included in the auction sell as well as a matching spare rim to the wheels on the Bronco..
Questions: Rust is always the first asked on this vehicles. When I bought this project Bronco there were no major rust issues only small issues that I mostly addressed by cutting out the area and replaced with new metal. Previously repaired was the drivers floor pan and the rocker panels. Since both of these repairs seemed pretty solid I left them as is and have not had any issues in this area since 2009. The area I didn't address, but now regret is the rear quarter panels. From a previous owner, both quarters have some bondo in the seam between the upper and lower sections. As you can see in the pictures on the right rear quarter it began to crack over time. Probably because I drive the bronco mostly on rough mountain roads. The other area that I re-enforced was the rear of the frame where the after market bumper is attached. It looked thin to me so I welded in additional plate steel before adding the bumper. Mainly because I use the Bronco to tow my boat to the lake as well. When I did the restore I scaled the entire frame and coated it with the stuff that neutralizes surface rust and makes the paint extra hard. The roof and rockers I painted with spray bed liner, some of that is flaking off the roof. There are also a few chips and scratches in paint. A larger chip is on the top of the right front fender, from a zipper, its touched up in the picture. Any additional questions, feel free to contact me.
Preferred payment is a M&T Bank money order or one from the US Post Office a scan/copy needs to be sent to me at least 5 days before pickup so it can be verified.
Additional pictures available upon request.

Ford recalling 850,000 cars and SUVs for airbag issues
Fri, 26 Sep 2014Ford has announced a major recall of 850,000 vehicles from model years 2013 and 2014 due to a problem with the "restraints control module."
According to Ford, a short circuit could develop in the module, causing the airbag warning light to illuminate. In more severe cases, dependent on where the short develops, the airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioners may not work in the event of an accident. The problems can be more wide-ranging than that, too, as systems that rely on information from the control module, such as the stability control can be affected.
With 850,000 vehicles affected, it's no surprise that some of Ford's volume leaders are covered. That includes the Fusion and Lincoln MKZ sedans, as well as the incredibly recall-prone Escape and the C-Max MPV.
Ford Explorer Jackson Pollock Edition results in trip to hospital
Tue, 02 Jul 2013Among the many useful pieces of driving advice we've taken to heart over the years, "Safely secure all cargo" is etched pretty high on our personal stone tablets. We've had a couple of frustrating moments over the years (numerous wonky cupholders and too-tall lidded cups; a radar detector that released its suction cups and dashed itself below the dashboard, etc.), but never anything like the scene above.
These photos above come courtesy of the Washington State Patrol, and they show the unfortunate aftermath of a driver, his dog, and his Ford Explorer after it crashed near the town of Belfair last week. According to reports, the man was schlepping five-gallon containers of paint inside his vehicle when he was involved in an unexplained accident. It's not clear what triggered the crash, but the impromptu abstract painting covered the whole of the interior, including the driver and his faithful companion.
The man was transported to a local hospital for minor injuries, and his dog was cleaned and later taken to a humane society.
NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder
Fri, 11 Jul 2014There may be more steering woes for the Ford Crown Victoria. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation into the Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis from the 2004 to 2007 model years and the Mercury Marauder for the 2004 and 2005 model years because the steering shaft can jam. The issue could potentially affect an estimated 500,000 vehicles.
According to the regulator, there is a possibility that the driver's side heat shield for the exhaust manifold can rust, dislodge, and then wedge into the steering shaft. If this occurs, it leads to a situation where the driver can no longer control the car.
NHTSA has received five complaints of this happening, including one alleged case with an injury. In that situation, the car was driving onto the highway, lost control and rolled over. One occupant was hurt in the accident.
