Up for auction is a 1971 Ford Bronco with half cab. It has a 170 cui inline 6 motor with 3 speed column shift manual transmission. This bronco is mainly stock except for the lift kit that was installed by the previous owner and a new wiring harness that I had installed a few years ago. It sits on 33X12.5" tires with Rancho suspension. I hate to sell it but I have not had time to work on it or to enjoy it. It should be with someone who can.
There is very little rust, just some minor rust on windshield and top. There is some minor surface rust on floor and inside of hood but nothing major. I believe the pictures show the condition very well. The wheel wells and floor panels are solid which is quite rare for these trucks. The interior is in pretty rough condition as far as missing carpets and dash being in rough shape. The windshield motor is not installed but I do have it and the cover, but I have no idea if it works or not.
The engine fires right up but could use a rebuild or at least a tune up. It is pretty impressive that it runs as well as it does. It is 42 years old after all and I do not know if it has ever been rebuilt. The transmission is in similar condition. I believe it needs a new clutch, but it does work. the steering and brakes are manual. No luxuries here. The last time I started it the brakes did not work. I think they may just need to be bled. The steering's gear box is showing some wear so there is some play in the steering. This bronco has dual gas tanks that can be switched over by a valve below the drivers seat. I believe the sending units are out because the fuel gauge does not work.
I am by no way a mechanic so these are just guesses on the condition of the vehicle, but this would make a great project with the condition of the body being so good. The mileage is unknown since the gauge cluster has been replaced a few times. Bronco also comes with some extra trim as well as some other parts. Do not really remember what is all there.
Bronco is located in Milbank, South Dakota. The Buyer is responsible for shipping charges. Payment is to be made via cashiers check, or cash in person. Once payment has been cleared, a clear title will be provided, along with a bill of sale and the vehicle will be released for pickup or delivery. A $500 non refundable deposit via Paypal is required upon auction end.
If you have any questions, please contact Eric at (605)-228-7143. I will be happy to answer any questions and I apologize if I forgot to mention anything. Thank you for looking. I believe the new owner will be very happy with it.

Ford only automaker to make 2012 Buzz Rankings, Toyota most improved
Wed, 30 Jan 2013Ford landed itself a spot among the top 10 brands in the 2012 Buzz Rankings. The annual index scores 1,100 brands in 41 categories to determine which nameplates had the most positive buzz throughout the year.
For the third year in a row, Subway took the top honors overall with a score of 40.3, and Ford was the only automaker to break into the top 25 by earning a sixth-place finish overall. The manufacturer earned a score of 32.1 points, which was enough to push it up one spot from the 2011 Buzz Rankings. Honda managed 21.2 points overall, which is still well behind 25th-place Kohl's at 26.5 points. Toyota, Volkswagen and BMW all round out the top five automakers.
The 2012 Buzz Rankings also keep track of which brands improved the most over the past year, and this year, Toyota was the manufacturer with the largest leap forward. The Japanese automaker jumped from just 14 points in 2011 to 20.5 in 2012. Chrysler, Kia, Dodge and Volkswagen all saw sizable steps forward as well. Be sure to head over to the Brand Index site for more information.
Hurricane Sandy cost automakers 15,000 vehicles, may have ruined up to 200k
Wed, 07 Nov 2012Hurricane Sandy was the largest Atlantic storm in US history, and its total economic impact is just now coming into view. According to Automotive News, Toyota, Chrysler, Nissan and Honda are set to scrap around 15,000 new vehicles ruined by the storm. Nissan alone accounts for about 40 percent of those, with 6,000 Nissan and Infiniti models deeded "un-saleable" due to damage. The company saw 56 dealerships shuttered due to the storm, but 51 of those have since reopened.
Toyota, meanwhile, had some 4,000 vehicles at its Newark port facility, and of those, 3,000 may be scrapped. An additional 825 were dealer inventory when they were ruined. Honda and Acura dealers are reportedly sending 3,440 vehicles to the salvage yard. By comparison, Chrysler weathered the storm fairly well with 825 units destroyed, while Hyundai suffered only 400 lost units and Kia scrapped around 200.
As you may recall, Fisker also suffered some losses, and Automotive News reports the manufacturer saw 320 Karma models damaged beyond repair. Ford and General Motors have yet to come up with estimates, and no automaker has commented on the full cost of replacing the vehicles.
2014 Ford Fiesta gets fuel economy bump to 41 mpg
Fri, 07 Jun 2013The 2014 Ford Fiesta is in showrooms now with refreshed styling and new performance ST model, but it's what isn't yet available that should help the Fiesta stand out from the growing crowd of subcompacts. Aside from the new 1.0-liter EcoBoost model coming later this year, Ford recently told us that a new Fiesta SFE trim level is on the way that should put the updated Fiesta at the top of its class for fuel economy.
The new Fiesta SFE will hit an estimated 41 miles per gallon on the highway when equipped with the six-speed automatic transmission. The current listing on fueleconomy.gov shows the 2014 Fiesta getting up to 29 mpg city and 39 highway, but the SFE will get minor aero tuning and a recalibrated engine controller to help bump the highway figure past rivals like the Chevrolet Sonic and Nissan Versa - both of which top out at 40-mpg highway. There's still no word as to when the small 1.0-liter EcoBoost will show in the US, but Ford has indicated that engine's fuel economy isn't expected to be released until October.
