1972 Ford Bronco W/ 302 V8! on 2040-cars
Saint Francisville, Louisiana, United States

I bought this bronco from a good friend of mine who has bought, restored, rebuilt, and either sold or kept multiple broncos. Almost every thing you see now is from his work. The only updates I have done since then are: put in a new, larger radiator, a new electric fuel pump, installed the rear bench seat, and bypassed the fuel tank closest to the driver seat so that the main fuel line runs straight to the back tank.
It has: circuit painless wiring harness, custom paint job with door inserts, wildhorses front disc brake conversion, mallory ignition and distributor, 2" suspension and 2" body lift with 33" mud tires, and a full size 33" mud tire spare with mounting kit on the tailgate. I have never taken it off road and only enjoyed back country road cruises all around! There are no doors or top, I did not get any when I initially bought it, which makes for very relaxing and breezy rides, I know my dog has really enjoyed those. And the bikini top gives you just enough relief from the sun and if you get caught in a rain storm. My friend put the bumpers on the front and back that are on currently, along with a Warn winch. The winch is currently not hooked up, so I am not sure if it still works or not, looks nice though. Also, their are mounted KC lights on the front with covers. Both of these do work for extra lighting when you are out riding in the woods at night. The bronco also has rhino liner sprayed throughout. Original steering is still hooked up, so there is no power steering but could easily be converted. There are a few spots where the paint is chipping, but overall the paint job looks very nice and trust me, you will turn some heads driving it around. |

Ward's reveals annual 10 Best Engines list for 2013
Thu, 13 Dec 2012Ward's Auto has released its annual 10 Best Engines award winners. The 2013 list covers the full width and breadth of the internal combustion spectrum, from a spate of efficient four-cylinders to the most powerful production V8 on the planet. As always, the entries must be available in a production vehicle in the first quarter of 2013 with an MSRP of less than $55,000. The supercharged 3.0-liter V6 from the Audi S5 held on for the fourth consecutive year, and BMW earned two spots on the list with its turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder and turbo 3.0-liter inline-six.
Ford pulled in two awards for its 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder and and the supercharged 5.8-liter V8 from the Shelby GT500. Honda matched BMW and Ford with two wins of its own. Wards awarded the 2.4-liter four-cylinder from the Honda Accord Sport as well as the 3.5-liter V6 from the Honda Accord. Chrysler, General Motors and Subaru each garnered a spot on the list as well for the 3.6-liter V6 in the Ram 1500, the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the Cadillac ATS and the 2.0-liter four-cylinder the Subaru BRZ, respectively. You can read the full press release below for more information.
What next for Alan Mulally?
Wed, 23 Apr 2014Alan Mulally has emerged as a hero when it comes to American manufacturing. He came to Ford in 2006 after serving as head of Boeing's commercial aircraft division, streamlined operations, sold off the costly elements of its Premier Automotive Group and saved Ford from having to be bailed out by the federal government like its cross-town rivals Chrysler and General Motors did. But as we reported mere days ago, he's widely expected to step down from the chief executive's office at Ford shortly.
So what's next for one of the most successful executives in the business? Hard to say, but don't expect Mulally to disappear into retirement. Though he didn't ultimately take the top job at Microsoft, industry insiders expect to see him in another influential position - likely as a board director or even chairman of another company. (We say "another company" and not Ford because while Bill Ford may have stepped aside as CEO to bring Mulally on board in the first place, we don't see him giving up his chairmanship of the board also.)
Mulally has likely already lined up his next move, and could either announce what that move will be as soon as Ford confirms Mark Fields as his successor, or could wait awhile. Insiders speculate that he could leverage his transportation and aerospace experience into a position at General Electric or a major airline, his manufacturing expertise to benefit a company like Procter & Gamble or his management skills at a consultancy firm.
The history and future of the Ford Bronco
Tue, 17 Jun 2014
Some have suggested that the Bronco's demise was hastened by the fallout from the O.J. trial.
Twenty years ago today, ex-NFL linebacker Al "A.C." Cowlings drove his friend and onetime running back Orenthal James "O.J." Simpson on a parade lap of the Los Angeles highway system and onto an ignoble page of the history books. If you're in your late 20s or older, or a fastidious young student of 1990s American history, you're absolutely aware that Al and O.J.'s steed for the 'chase' was a white Ford Bronco. The white Ford Bronco, even.
