This is my 1995 Ford Bronco XLT Full Size big Bronco 4x4 5-speed manual transmission...this Bronco is mechanically excellent, sound body with mininal dings and areas of rust...see photos. Black exterior with a gray interior. I purchased this to do a restoration. It was a Colorado truck by way of Dallas Tx when I purchased. It has some dings and paint needs attention but very presentable and drivable as is. It does have one area of rust that has finally taken hold on the left rear fender (as seen in photos). However, it is not yet "rotted" thru as the inside lip feels solid. the other areas you see are truly surface. It has NONE of the usual Bronco rust rot issues that you usually see. All is solid except as noted and very much a candidate for either full restoration or just inexpensive cosmetic touch up and driving. Mechanically I did everything to this car so that should not need any attention other than continued regular maintenance. When I got it in 2011, I did all fluids, belts, hoses ignition wiring and so forth. It has a completely replaced ignition and starting system from the battery to the starter...like new tires and so forth. The minor issues it has is the dash light for airbag blinks (4-2 I think) and the cable is stretching on the driver inside door handle opener but it works...I would replace but dont have the money...I would not be selling if I didnt need the money. The Air Conditiong works great. Heat works great. The rear window work great (only from the key in the door but not the dash switch)...The 5 speed (4 plus overdrive) manual transmission I had taken out and had it gone over and brought up to spec and replaced the clutch...pressure plate and throwout bearing...it gets 14 miles to the gallon...Bronco owners will appreciate that as Broncos can usually go at 9 mpg. I had all the brakes, rotor discs, fluid, lines and so on replaced or at least checked. Any questions let me know. Also, I wanted to mention, I only use synthetic oil and it does not leak or burn oil, the rear door and window work!, and you will see that the lower driver's side dash seems to be not installed...that is because I had removed an old alarm system and forgot to reinstall the fuse door and the panel screws but took the pictures anyway...its all good now. Very reliable and well maintained truck. Buy it and drive it anywhere and do the cosmetics at your leisure without the usual "pig in a poke" discovery of basic running gear that needs replacing. This one is solid.

And I DO RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END AUCTION EARLY AS I HAVE IT LISTED LOCALLY. Thanks for looking.

It's Official: Ford Names Mark Fields Its Next CEO

Thu, May 1 2014

Alan Mulally, the man who transformed Ford Motor Co. from a dysfunctional money-loser to a thriving company, will retire July 1 and be replaced by Mark Fields, the current chief operating officer. During his eight-year tenure at Ford, Mulally gambled all of the company's assets on a credit line that kept Ford out of bankruptcy, then used a simple "One Ford" plan to change the company's culture. He was hired away from aircraft maker Boeing Co. in 2006 by Bill Ford, who at the time was running the company. Fields, 53, has been in charge of Ford's daily operations since December of 2012 and was widely expected to one day ascend to the top job. The change in leadership is taking place about six months ahead of schedule, but Ford said that was based on Mulally's recommendation that the new leaders were ready. "Alan and I feel strongly that Mark and the entire leadership team are absolutely ready to lead Ford forward, and now is the time to begin the transition," Bill Ford said in a statement Thursday morning. Bill Ford, the company's executive chairman, is the great-grandson of company founder Henry Ford. Mulally, 68, was trained as an aeronautical engineer. He spent 36 years at Boeing - and was president of the company's commercial airplane division - when Bill Ford lured him to the struggling automaker eight years ago. Mulally overcame skepticism about being an outsider in the insular ranks of Detroit car guys by quickly pinpointing the reasons why Ford was losing billions each year. Mulally put a stop to the infighting that had paralyzed the company and instituted weekly management meetings where executives faced new levels of accountability and were encouraged to work together to solve problems. It took two years for Mulally to turn the company around, but since 2009, Ford has posted pretax profits of $34.5 billion and its shares have more than doubled. Fields was one of the executives passed over when Mulally got the top job in 2006. When he was named COO in 2012, Bill Ford said Fields' decision to stay at Ford and learn from Mulally showed a lot of fortitude and has made Fields a better leader. "There was a lot of speculation about whether he was capable. To his great credit, he stuck to it, he learned from it and showed tremendous fortitude in grinding through an incredibly difficult process," Bill Ford said. This marks the second change in leadership at the top of one of the Detroit automakers this year.

F-150 just the start of Ford's aluminum plans

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

Not only have we been told that the 2015 Ford F-150 is tougher, more durable and up to 700 pounds lighter than the current truck, Ford COO Mark Fields said it's also "CAFE-positive." That means, for the first time in the history of corporate average fuel economy standards, the F-150 would be a positive contributor on Ford's CAFE balance sheet instead of being a vehicle it needs to counterbalance with frugal offerings.
Fields' comments made at the Detroit Auto Show were among quotes from other Ford execs that confirmed the carmaker will be using aluminum for more of its vehicles. CEO Alan Mulally said it would "proliferate across our lineup," with speculation being that we'll see it applied to crossover and sport utility models first, since they'll benefit the most. Even gaining the massive scale of using aluminum on the world's best selling vehicle for its first effort - on average, the company sells two times as many F-150s in a single day as Land Rover sells of its aluminum Range Rover in a month - Ford will be looking to further spread the cost of its five-year development investment in aluminum technology. And that should mean better handling and fuel economy for those of us who don't need to wear hardhats at the office.

Last 2014 Ford Shelby GT500 Convertible nets $500k for charity at Barrett-Jackson [w/video]

Tue, 13 Aug 2013

The last 2014 Ford Shelby GT500 Convertible was sold on Saturday at a Barrett-Jackson auction in Reno, Nevada, for $500,000. Ford donated the Mustang to be auctioned for charity, and all of the money is going to the Brain Injury Association of America.
Parnelli Jones, winner of the 1963 Indianapolis 500, was there on behalf of the BIAA with his son Page, who suffered a brain injury in a sprint car crash in 1994. The bidding increased quickly, reaching $500k in no time, spreading a bit more hope to people who live with brain injuries.
The winning bidder will be able to choose the GT500's exterior, interior and stripe colors, and is scheduled to receive the car, signed by Parnelli Jones in appreciation for the donation, by the end of 2013. Watch the video below to see the auction-block action.
