1983 Big Bronco that we've owned for over 10 years. Was daily driver until youngest son left for college. Most everything has been repaired, replaced or rebuilt over the last couple of years. Excellent daily driver that is also excellent off road or in the mud.

A few more details - as far as we know this has been an Oklahoma / Texas truck since originally sold in Edmond Oklahoma.

Rust - None that I know of. There was some rust on the passenger front floor which was cut out and replaced, and the tailgate was rusted (pretty common for this model). The tailgate was replaced with a new tailgate from Jeff's Bronco Graveyard before the truck was re-painted. One dime sized rust bubble in rain guard rail.

Dent's & Dings - It's a 30 year old truck so there are some - body is not perfect. Dent on passenger door upper frame from it being pushed when closing. Front bumper dented from someone putting a tow strap around it to pull someone out. There is also a dent on the passenger rear quarter where the spare tire support hit it when being opened.

Mechanical - Motor and Transmission rebuilt within last 1000 miles. New drive-shaft and u joints at same time. Rebuilt carburetor, rodded radiator, new fuel pump (2), new water pump, new brakes. Six inch lift, with new shocks and springs and 35" pro-comp mud terrains - probably 2000 miles on those. A/C all original and working, Radio / speakers / amp all aftermarket. Transfer case, front hubs, differential and front end all original. The one thing that will need attention, that we just never got to is the front end - it's loose, and while the steering box has been replaced she needs new tie rod ends, ball joints and bushings in the front end.

Interior - The interior has been re-done - the flooring was replaced with rubber floor from Jeff's Bronco Graveyard. The quarter panels in the rear were re-done covered with vinyl and the seats are covered in saddle blanket aftermarket seat covers designed to fit this model. Dash also has a new dash pad cover that is hard to distinguish from the original.

Ford Escort is ready to focus on the Chinese market

Mon, 21 Apr 2014

Ford officially revived the Escort name in China, showing of the new, four-door compact at the Beijing Motor Show. Painted in a stylish brown-bronze, the new sedan wears a number of global Ford styling cues while sharing its platform with the Ford Focus.
Power for the new model comes from a 1.5-liter four-cylinder, although Ford doesn't specify just how much power is on offer, simply saying that the fuel economy of the new mill will be "outstanding." It's unclear what transmission will be distributing the engine's power, although based on the images we've seen, the Escort will definitely offer a two-pedal setup.
The layout of the cabin is fairly clean, although as we mentioned in our initial post on the new Escort, it's a decidedly sparser environment than we've grown use to in US-spec Fords of late. If anything, it's like a weird blend of current Ford switchgear with an overall look that reminds us of older Ford layouts. Still, it looks like a comfortable way of moving five people about without too much fuss. There's ample space both front and rear, and a rather spacious trunk.

Watch the Hennessey Ford GT makes its record run at Texas Mile

Wed, 27 Mar 2013

We said they'd probably be out with an official video, we did not lie. The Hennessey-powered camouflage Ford GT sat at one end of the runway at the Texas Mile sitting still. At the other end of the runway it had broken its own speed record, the twin-turbo 5.7-liter V8 pushing the aerodynamic supercar up to 267.6 miles per hour, a 4.3-mph improvement over the old mark.
There's not much in the video you haven't already seen, this just makes it official. That said, who doesn't want to see a twin-turbo Ford GT set an incredible speed record? You can watch it below.

Ford F-150 King Ranch celebrates 'history and authenticity' for 2015 [w/video]

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

What's life like on an authentic Texas ranch? We honestly have no idea, having never lived on such a ranch, but we imagine it requires lots of hard work, grit and determination to keep all 825,000 acres - that's larger than the state of Rhode Island - of the King Ranch in Texas under control. Indeed, a total of 350 vehicles, all of which come from Ford, we're told, are currently in use by the ranch. No wonder, then, that the collaboration between Ford and King Ranch has lasted for 15 successful years.
For 2015, in celebration of that 15th anniversary, Ford is debuting three new King Ranch models today at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. The most significant is the 2015 F-150 King Ranch, which, naturally, will add unique interior and exterior bits and pieces to the new aluminum-intensive F-Series pickup. Color choices will consist of Caribou, Bronze Fire, Guard and Ruby Red Metallic Clearcoat, with a range of two-tones to go along with a monochromatic scheme in Caribou. Inside, a bespoke King Ranch interior will be swathed in Premium Mesa Brown leather.
Joining the F-150 King Ranch on dealership floors later this year will be 2015 King Ranch editions of the Super Duty pickup and Expedition fullsize SUV, all of which will offer similar levels of content. Scroll down for more details and two videos from Ford, and be sure to check out the high-res image gallery above, which was shot by the official State Photographer of Texas, Wyman Meinzer.
