Clean And Solid Western Truck W/ V8 Power Steering And Gorgeous Paint & Chrome on 2040-cars
Zeeland, Michigan, United States
Offered for auction is a very clean and extremely solid western
classic Bronco. This sweet Bronco spent the majority of its life roaming the West
between San Diego and Seattle. This Bronco still retains all of its original sheet
metal and 302 V8 runs very strong. I
have owned several vintage Broncos and this is one of the sweetest! Clean uncut examples of vintage Broncos like this are getting more and more difficult to find and continue to be a solid investment. This 1970 Bronco is just that, a true investment quality vehicle. Engine: The original equipment engine has been completely rebuilt and has approximately 20K miles on it. I recently did a compression check and all 8 cylinders which have great compression (150-155 psi). The previous owner did install an aluminum four barrel intake with a new carburetor which has electric choke, so cold starts are not an issue. The engine does not smoke, burn or leak oil. It runs very strong and sounds great. Also a new fuel bump and spark plugs have been installed. Body: This Bronco is extremely solid! All the original sheet metal and panels are still in place and very straight! The driver side front floor has been patched at the seam as the floor angles up toward the firewall. The passenger floor is still the original and very solid. The rear bed area is very solid along with the rear quarter panels seams. The front door post and kick panels are in great condition. The driver and passenger door strikers are in perfect condition. The tailgate and doors are rock solid with no rust issues. The both rocker panels are super clean and show no signs of rust. The driver side rear quarter panel (just below the taillight) did receive a slight bump at one time. I have a receipt stating the repair from the previous owner. The base coat clean coat paint on the Bronco is very nice and only shows a couple minor stone chips. Frame / suspension / axles: The frame is extremely clean with no rust issues only very minor surface rust. The Bronco does have a very nice 3.5 inch suspension with Rancho shocks at all 4 corners. The rear axle is a 9 inch set with 3.50 gears and limited slip which is all very tight. The front axle is a Dana 30 also set with 3:50 gears and limited slip dif. this is also nice and tight. Transmission / Transfer-case: The transmission is the stock 72 Bronco 3 speed manual. The transfer-case is a stock Dana 20, which works great. The shifter moves in and out off all gears smoothly. The front lockout hubs have recently been serviced and function extremely well, the manual steering column shift effortlessly into all gears. Wheels / Tires: The aluminum rims are in very nice condition with no scratches or pitting and are mounted to a fantastic set of 235x76x15 mud terrain tires. The tires have less than 5000 miles on them. Steering / Brakes: The Bronco has a very nice factory power steering setup. The steering box and pump are extremely smooth and don’t leak any fluid. The tie rod ends and drag link are all nice and tight. The king pin system on the Dana 30 is in great condition very tight. The Bronco has recently received a complete brake job on the front axle. The rear brakes are in good condition and show 60% life remaining. This Bronco stops great and drives very smooth and straight. Electrical: All lights and turn signals work great! All the gauges are accurate and functional including the fuel gauges for both the front and rear tanks. The wiper, and emergency flasher systems work great! The factory heater works amazing! The pull cable for the heat control does pull a little hard. The blower motor and switch function like new. The Sony CD player and stereo works well and sounds great with the door mounted speakers. Interior / soft trim: Recently I installed a new black carpet kit complete with new aluminum tie down strips. The OEM Bronco seats have been redone with new covers. The seat belts have also been replaced for added safety. The door seals and window felting are in great condition. The front windshield and gasket has been replaced. The door locks are all functioning and locking with a key.

2014 Ford Cobra Jet announced with new colors, parachute mount
Fri, 22 Mar 2013Ford's drag-strip-ready Mustang Cobra Jet is back for 2014, and it's sporting a few changes to make it even better - both in competition and while sitting still. Rolling off the assembly line ready for duty in the NHRA Stock or Super Stock classes, production of the 2014 Cobra Jet is limited to just 50 units.
Racing upgrades for 2014 include the addition of a new three-speed transmission and a parachute mount, and while these will make the car better in the quarter mile, the Cobra Jet's new colors will make it look better tearing down the track. Buyers can now get their racecars painted up in Gotta Have-It Green or a custom, Cobra Jet-exclusive matte black hue. Ford and Ford Racing have already teamed up to make this an incredible factory drag racer with a full rollcage, massive Hoosier slicks, a race-tuned suspension setup and a supercharged 5.0-liter V8. Now, if only wheelie bars came standard...
Unlike the confusing third-party ordering system announced for the COPO Camaro, all you need to snatch up a 2014 Cobra Jet is $97,990 and good timing (as the cars will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis). Ordering opens up next month with production commencing in July. Check out the press release below.
Focus ST diesel variant coming, just don't look for it here
Fri, 07 Mar 2014A few years back, Volkswagen made some waves when it announced the Golf GTD - a diesel-powered car that, aside from its ultra-efficient, ultra-torquey engine, was identical to the gas-powered GTI. That meant cosseting sport seats, larger wheels, sportier suspension, larger brakes and a body kit that made the GTD indistinguishable from the GTI, except for the three little letters on the back and in the grille.
Now, Ford is looking to replicate VW's success, with a diesel version of the Focus ST. According to Motor Trend, the diesel-powered ST will use a 2.0-liter, 182-horsepower four-cylinder. With an unspecified amount of torque on offer (we'd guess around 280 pound-feet), the diesel hot hatch should hit 62 miles per hour in about eight seconds.
The report, which originally comes from Auto Express, claims the ST Diesel was confirmed by Ford Chief Marketing Officer Mark Fields during this week's Geneva Motor Show. Not surprisingly, it doesn't appear there are any plans to bring a diesel-powered Focus of any kind to the US, let alone one that uses the suspension, steering and other items from the ST. Of course, if there's an official confirmation from Ford, we'll be sure to report on it.
Ford ST Octane Academy [w/video]
Wed, 04 Jun 2014
The ST school is about more than just handbrake turns, hot laps, and sliding into parking spaces.
I felt like such a rock star. On my second pass around the UrbanCross course (read: fancy autocross) at the Ford ST Octane Academy, I absolutely nailed the exit, sliding the bright-yellow Focus ST sideways into a box the size of a parking space, all four wheels in line.
