Here is my Ford Bronco that I must sell.  Cash only sale, no checks no money orders no paypal, cash only purchase.  

I have the two missing pieces of trim. I broke the tabs on them and have ordered new ones. They will be back on when you pick it up with factory style clips. No accidents for this truck, all the metal is original to it. Drove it from Arizona in 2013, never seen salt/snow, no rust ever.. Repainted in the factory original chamois metallic ppg paint 2 stage with clearcoat. I posted photos of it in shade - looks a deep metallic brown, in the sun a awesome metallic orangish tone. This is the factory original color it was originally painted. I dont remember them looking this good though and i never expected it to be like this...i expected doodoo brown metallic and fell for this color after seeing it as a serious favorite for another bronco when i can buy another or even bythis one back. And this is no hack paint job. All prepped right, sealer, primer, 4 base coats, 6 color coats, 2 clear. all ppg and by a professional restoration specialist in a $80k paint booth that usually paints duesenbergs and rolls royces..., not a paint and body collision shop busting out toyotas and minivans. no rust repair on it done.  It has not been wet sanded at buffed at all. This is how it left the booth. It is not flawless - but dang nice as you can see in the photos. It was done to last 20 years not peal and flake off in 2.  There are some dings in the hood from hail, i could not get them to show in the photos and some dings that I prefered not to be filled with bondo to cover them up. Its all metal here but i dont want to you to be surprised by anything though.  Rebuilt 351. Starts runs and drives good, no leaks or smoke. Edelbrock intake and Holly carb. Rebuilt c6 shifts fine and firm. manual 4x4 208 t-case & hubs, trailer special, 9" axle. Sorry no reciepts for the rebuilds. Poly front bushings, flow master exhaust.   Has Trailer Special package, ready to pull anything. restored 70s Detroit Vintage Wheels Western Wheels Cyclone II and brand new 31" kevlar lined goodyear duratracs. I restore these wheels for the trucks I preserve like this Bronco. I had not yet got to the interior. I had planned on replacing the regulator on the driver side - it is sticking, replacing the climate control unit, it seems to be not working right, redoing or replacing the front seats (not bad but not what i wanted), hooking up the front KC daylighters and the rear floods (the toggles were removed to re wire them all). The radio is in-op and a old pos anyway, and i was going to replace the door seals, they are pretty old and not the best sealing as with most old broncos. These are not anything that would inpead driving it home any distance. I drove it 2200 miles just as it is. It drives good - could use an alighment in time. Brakes good but the pedal is dropping low - back shoes or master is going out. The fronts are newer.  Thats all i can think of at the moment. Please ask any questions.  I have to relocate for work and cannot take it with me. Sux, its a awesome truck. have over 13k invested and I know I will never get near it back out and i never planned on selling it. But i am relocating for work and here it is. I would discount the final price and put the steel wheels with goodyear wranglers on back on it that were on it when i bought it. just plain ford steel wheels with 31" good goodyears on them if you are not a fan of these period correct turbines that would have been put on it when it was new.
2488902504 with any questions. 
Cash sale please. If you want to arrange to have it shipped, you need to send me a bank to bank money transfer, no paypal, no checks, no money orders, or UPS me the cash and have your driver pick it up. 

Auction ends on Tuesday at 7:50pm EST, its NO RESERVE...so dont forget and email me after bidding ends to buy it if the winning bidder does not go through with it. And please do not bid if you do not have the funds to pay for it within 7 days after the listing ends. 


On Apr-29-14 at 17:26:52 PDT, seller added the following information:

I will also install new stainless steel center caps on the wheels, I also have everything for a full tune up, rad hoses, filters, the driver window regulator to go with it.

2015 Ford F-150 brings big aluminum to the Rust Belt [w/video]

Mon, 13 Jan 2014

Just when you thought you'd figured the fullsize truck market out, Ford goes and throws us a massive curve ball with the 2015 F-150. The big headline news aren't tow or payload ratings, though we're sure those figures will be fully competitive if not class leading, they haven't yet been announced. Instead, the big headline news Ford is highlighting are the truck's new aluminum-intensive structure and 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 engine.
And with good reason - all that aluminum means that Ford was able to cut a massive 700 pounds from the truck's curb weight. That is going to cause all sorts of great things to happen to the 2015 F-150's driving dynamics, performance and fuel efficiency, not to mention its ability to haul heavy loads. For those customers worried about the strength of aluminum versus the more conventional steel, Ford is quick to point out that many military vehicles, such as the HMMWV and Bradley Fighting Vehicle, use a very similar sort of aluminum alloy in their construction.
It's also worth mentioning that the backbone, a fully boxed ladder frame, is hewn from high-strength steel. Ford says "2015 Ford F-150 is the strongest and most durable F-150 ever," for what it's worth, claiming that "torture tested" in labs and in the real world for more than 10 million miles. What's more, the truck, in disguised form, completed all 883 miles of the Baja 1000.

Road & Track names its 2013 Performance Car of the Year

Thu, 14 Nov 2013

Road & Track recently staged its first annual Performance Car of the Year test, pitting 13 new and updated performance cars against each other on track, then graduating the top six to a road test before picking a winner. Additionally, the magazine staff picked the best automobiles of the year in eight categories.
But first, let's cover the PCotY segment. Here's the list of cars brought to the comparison test: Audi R8 V10 Plus; BMW 435i; BMW M6 Competition Package; Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z51; Ferrari F12 Berlinetta; Ford Fiesta ST; Jaguar F-Type V8 S; Jaguar XFR-S; Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S-Model Wagon; Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series; Mini John Cooper Works GP; Nissan GT-R Track Edition; and Porsche Cayman S.
To find out the results of the comparison, head over to Road & Track's website or check the press release below, where you'll also find the magazine's top-rated vehicles in eight categories. Want more? Head over to the 2013 PCotY hub. But before you do that, take a stab at guessing the winner of PCotY (we'll give you one hint: it isn't a Porsche).

Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes

Mon, 18 Jul 2011

Ford has announced through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling nearly 3,000 examples of its Five Hundred and Mercury Montego (pictured) sedans from the 2007 model year.
The action, which affects 2,945 vehicles, is due to potentially defective welds between the filler neck and the fuel tank, a condition that could result in a fuel leak or the smell of gasoline reaching the occupants. In the worst-case scenario, a leak could cause a fire. Cars with the affected fuel tank problem could see an illuminated dashboard warning light as a result of the evaporative emissions leak being detected.
Ford will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no cost to owners (those who have already had the procedure done at-cost can apply for reimbursement), and the Dearborn automaker will begin notifying Five Hundred and Montego owners beginning August 15. Check out the official NHTSA press release after the jump for further details.
