78 Custom Ford Bronco:
If you are looking for a Stock 78 Bronco to keep or modify this is a good one. The body is in excellent shape inside and out and underneath. It was bought new in North Carolina and second owner bought in NC and he said he drove from NC to FL many times before he stayed down here. I know it has been garage kept for the past 10+ years and the previous owner had it painted years back. It runs and drives great. Everything works on the Bronco, like lights, signal gauges, etc and including the a/c!
It is a 1978 Ford Bronco Custom, 351M, C-6 automatic trans, power disc front brakes, power steering, A/C, and am/fm cassette stereo. It has the stock ford locking hubs and the dash pad has no cracks. Front and rear chrome bumpers are in great shape. There is no lift on Bronco and has stock exhaust. The valve covers and breather have been replaced with aftermarket type. Manual windows in front electric rear window and the doors work and close as good as new. It does show 60k miles but I believe it is 160k like I said the 2nd owner put some highway miles on it as far as I can tell by the way it looks.
Recent upgrades are:
Front bucket seats were reupholstered.
Rubber floor mat was replaced in front and back passengers area.
New spark plugs, air filter, oil filter, oil, trans filter screen and gasket, trans fluid, wiper blades and battery.
Replaced 33 gal fuel tank and sending unit.
Replace the electronic ignition module.
2 barrel carburetor was rebuilt.
Minor things:
The old module leaked its guts down the inside of the engine compartment where it is bolted its very sticky but does not hurt anything.
The custom emblem on the glove box has slid down about an inch for the Florida heat.
I have been driving some with the tires they have good tread but they are older and will need replaced soon.
There are a couple of small cracks or chips on door panels and cups. not very noticeable just cosmetic.
This is the nicest 78 Bronco that I have ever seen would love to keep but I like the 66-77 Broncos style a bit more.
The reserve has been lowered. I am in central Florida if you are in the area come by for a drive you wont be disappointed.
Email any questions.
Seller has the right to remove from auction early.

Ford Focus RS ready to make our hot hatch dreams real
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Ford's current hot hatch siblings the Fiesta ST and Focus ST are already two pretty great entries into the segment, but there's always a desire for a little more. Thankfully, it looks like the Blue Oval is ready to satiate that need because it's continuing to test the even more powerful Focus RS around Europe. According to our spy shooters, these shots come from near the Nürburgring.
As with previous photos, Ford engineers continue to heavily camouflage the front end of the RS prototypes, but there's a big difference here. Unlike earlier ones, this example appears to have a closer-to-production-ready front bumper rather than just a horizontal strip for the license plate. That may point to development getting somewhat closer to wrapping up. Although, this one lacks the larger rear wing from prior testers, and the exhaust also appears to be a work in progress with the rear diffuser covered in mesh in these latest shots.
The RS is rumored to be using the 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder from the 2015 Mustang, but power is reportedly turned up from 310 horsepower in the 'Stang to somewhere between 325 hp and 350 hp for the Focus. Routing all that just through the front wheels could be a recipe for serious torque steer, and all-wheel drive is potentially being used for better traction.
Edmunds ranks the best used cars for 2013
Sun, 15 Sep 2013When people ask us what car we would recommend for them, it's usually not easy to answer. To make a useful recommendation we must consider which of the numerous vehicle segments fits their needs best, and then choose one of the many vehicles offered in each segment. For some people, new cars don't meet their expectations of value, because they lose so much of it the moment they are purchased and driven off the dealer lot. For them, there's always the used-car market, where great deals can be found, but cars' histories of reliability and maintenance records - and perhaps that Certified Pre-Owned warranty - become ever-important factors playing into purchase choice.
To help out, Edmunds has done us the favor of assembling a list of the best used vehicles money can buy, covering model years 2006-2011, according to what it considers the most important criteria when shopping for used autos: reliability, safety, value and availability. That means unreliable, unsafe, super-expensive or limited-edition models don't appear on the list, but instead cars from each segment that are more likely to satisfy the general population.
There are some real goodies on the list, including but not limited to vehicles such as the capable Honda Fit, the cultish Honda Accord coupe (which can be had with a 240-horsepower V6 and a six-speed manual transmission some years), and the powerful Chevrolet Corvette. While Edmunds' choice of the Volvo C70 for best used convertible baffled us at first (not that it's a bad car), it redeemed itself by stating that the Mazda MX-5 still is an unofficial top choice if you don't require more than two seats.
STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM
Fri, 16 Oct 2009Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.
