1972 Ford Bronco that is in very decent driving condition and looks pretty sharp overall.. This is a pretty nice truck overall, but it does have some basic flaws that would need to be addressed to be a show truck. The truck is very straight overall, but does have some scratches or blemishes here or there, but is still a very clean truck that gets some awsome attention where ever it goes.
The powertrain is a great running 351 Ford with a 3-speed standard transmission, power steering but no power brakes but has 4 Wheel Disc Brakes. It has had a smaller lift kit and urethane bushings installed some time ago, and all of that is in good shape. The 4 Wheel Drive works as it is suppose to, and I have used in on the lake shore on more than a few occassions. The interior of the truck is actually pretty nice, and the hard top even has a full headliner in it.
As with all of the early Bronco's there are some minor rust issues that has been addressed or needs to be addressed. There isnt anything major on this truck, and I am not knocking the truck at all, but if anyone has had some experience with these early Bronco's they will fully understand what I am talking about.
If you have any specific questions or need any specific pictures, I will be happy to get you what ever information you might need. I have a very reasonable transport company that I deal with, and I will be happy to supply that information with any serious bidder, because he is normally about half of what the typical Ebay Shipper quotes are..
Here is a YouTube walk around video of the Bronco, so take a look.

70% of pickups could use aluminum by 2025
Wed, 11 Jun 2014In the next decade, the auto industry will see an explosion in its use of aluminum to cut weight and increase fuel economy, according to a study from market analysts Ducker Worldwide cited by The Detroit News. We are already seeing the lightweight metal show up extensively in luxury models from Europe, but with the impending launch of aluminum-intensive 2015 Ford F-150 (pictured above), North America is using it even more, as well. The report predicts 70 percent of US pickups to have aluminum bodies by 2025.
It won't just be pickups that see the benefit, though. The average amount of aluminum in US vehicles is forecasted by the study to grow from an average of 350 pounds in 2013 to about 550 pounds by 2025. The most common parts to use it will be hoods, doors and - to some extent - roofs, as well.
The massive increase in pickups' aluminum content hardly seems surprising. The F-150 is predicted to use so much that it might cause a short-term shortage, according to one earlier report. At the same time General Motors is heavily rumored to be negotiating with suppliers for the next generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. Ram is the last holdout of the Big Three, but the study predicts that not to last.
Riding along in Ford's bonkers Fiesta ST Global RallyCross car [w/video]
Wed, 28 Aug 2013
The Mountune-worked Fiesta ST GRC does 0-to-60 mph in 1.9 seconds.
On any given day, and every single weekend, there's at least one parking in the country invaded by manufacturer and team trucks. The be-chromed beasts and their 53-foot trailers are slotted into rows, men and women decorate the lot with orange cones to mark the invisible tracery of a temporary track, cars get unloaded, crews fret over them. The ritual can be as beautiful as the sunrise to those with enthusiast hearts, but it's just as common.
2015 Ford F-150 spied in the rain
Mon, 10 Jun 2013Standing as quite a contrast from the spy shots of the 2015 Ford Mustang we saw earlier today, our spies also sent along these pictures of the next-generation F-150 pickup out testing in its (heavily camouflaged) full prototype body. Much of the new truck's design is hidden under the bulky coveralls, but we expect a lot of its new lines to be inspired by the Atlas concept that debuted at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show.
Perhaps the biggest unknown surrounding the new F-150 is what, exactly, its body will be made of. Earlier reports have suggested that lightweight aluminum materials may be used throughout, offering a serious reduction in weight versus previous models. But Ford engineers will need to be careful, though, as they need to keep a tight rein on costs while preserving class-competitive (if not class-leading) towing and payload capacity.
On the powertrain front, the new F-150 will undoubtedly carry on with EcoBoost engines, and we'd bet on a normally aspirated V8 as well. A diesel option hasn't been confirmed, but we wouldn't be surprised to see one some time in the truck's lifecycle. Mum's the word on when the production F-150 will be revealed, but our best guess is that we'll see it at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show.
