I purchased this from the grandson of the original 1970 purchaser. Approximately 1000 miles put on it since 1991 (maintenance sticker is on the door dated 1991 with 32,500 or so miles logged; the grandfather passed away shortly after). Always garaged since new. Grandpa used it for rock hunting hobby in Wyoming (only in the clear weather times). He also had an International 4x4 truck that was used for most transportation & some rock hunting.
There is a wood shelf mounted that Grandpa had for his dog to sit on behind his head (can be removed). A grab handle is on the passenger side of the dash which was for Grandma to pull herself into Bronco. Grandpa also must have discovered black spray sealent as you can see in the engine compartment. Sealed any possibility of air leaks around all cables, etcetera. He also kind of shielded areas where rocks might grab in the tires, fly up, scratch or dent the underside. As mentioned he'd go 4 wheel'n to look for his rock gems. Where there's rocks there's pebbles which get caught in tire tread & fly. He probably had more rough ready tires at that time. The 4x4 hubs lock/unlock and works. The floor 4x4 engager is stiff, but gets all ranges. 1000 miles since 1991 needs some lube spraying for sure. No water leaks, overheating, or oil smoke (at start up or driving). All gauges work correctly. I have not tried the tank switch yet (not sure how it works but will read up on it). Everything works (lights, roll up windows, forgot to push horn to fry-will report when know). Glass is almost perfect with the windshield having two BB/stone spots on the passenger side, but all clear/no cracks/no fogging/no seperation. According to the grandson, the top has never been off and the windshield has never been down. The rear hatch lift window & tailgate work as new. Locks all work.
Has two gas tanks, the original jack parts/spare, some small parts, two old type flares, four oil filters/old oil cans & an old fashoned magnetic trouble light. The original air cleaner assembly is included (original carb was replaced).

Other pictures are available including one of the original air cleaner (in excellent condition), engine, wheel wells, more floor areas, etc. Two locking gas caps w/keys are in parts (previous owner/grandson liked the blue painted caps. Grandson said he changed oil-filter. He drained the water system for most of the storage period after he inherited it. He added new antifreeze to the empty system a couple weeks ago do to selling decision. That decision was due to divorce. Other new items: shocks & fuel pump.

Has original rubber floor mat. Vehicle ID plates are in correct places. Florida title.

Ford's Galhotra succeeds Farley as head of Lincoln
Wed, 23 Jul 2014Ford Motor Company is announcing a major personnel shakeup that could have a dramatic effect on the future of the Lincoln division. Kumar Galhotra (pictured above), currently vice president of engineering at Ford for all of its vehicles worldwide, is taking over as the president of the luxury brand on September 1, replacing Jim Farley. The automaker is also hiring a new head of advanced engineering.
Galhotra has a huge job ahead of him as the new boss of Lincoln worldwide, overseeing product development, marketing, sales and service. His task is to turn the luxury division into a world-class brand as quickly as possible, and he reports directly to Ford President and CEO Mark Fields.
"These changes underscore our commitment to build on the success of our One Ford plan by accelerating our pace of progress. They also make clear we are serious about Lincoln as a world-class luxury brand and that product excellence and innovation are what will deliver growth and define our entire company going forward," said Fields in the company's announcement.
GM readying aluminum-body fullsize pickups
Wed, 19 Feb 2014Ford's extensive use of aluminum in its 2015 F-150 is a big deal. A really big deal. Big enough, in fact, that General Motors is reportedly changing its fullsize pickup strategy. According to The Wall Street Journal, The General has locked in partnerships with Alcoa Inc. and Novelis Inc. - companies that will supply aluminum for the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks.
"Ford's introduction of the 2015 F-150 pickup truck was a game changer, and it's the first, not the last, conversion of this type," Novelis spokesperson Charles Belbin told the Journal. The switch to aluminum has allowed Ford to shave roughly 700 pounds off its fullsize truck's curb weight. And while official mileage ratings have not been announced, the weight loss should go a long way for improving efficiency, especially when combined other efficiency-minded improvements including better aerodynamics and new, turbocharged V6 engines.
Of course, aluminum-bodied cars are nothing new. But extensive use of aluminum in a major, best-selling product like the Ford F-150 is expected to kick off widespread use of this weight-saving material as availability rises and cost decreases. The WSJ reports that GM had originally explored the idea of moving to aluminum pickups back in 2008, but abandoned the idea due to cost concerns amid economic woes.
Weekly Recap: Auto execs face life in prison for recall delays under proposed legislation
Sat, 09 Aug 2014
The stiff punishments are part of broader transportation legislation, but clearly McCaskill has automakers in her sights.
Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill threw down the gauntlet this week, proposing a bill that could send auto executives to prison for life if they were found to have delayed a recall. She also wants to eliminate the limit for fines for auto safety violations, which are currently capped at $35 million.
