I would not drive it on the road the way it is the brakes are weak (need bled out) and the front end needs an alignment, tires have good tread but they are very dry rotted, in it's current state I would not drive it on the road till the brakes got bled out, was last on the road the winter of 2012 I put about 2k miles on it when ever it snowed enough for 4wd did all the mentioned suspension work last summer hasnt been on the road since. the mileage is actual this Bronco has been in my family since the 80's I got it about 3 years ago after it had sat in a barn for quite a while, my brother put a new tail gate on it several years ago tail gate is in good shape, and a new radiator, has the factory style exhaust "y pipe & catalytic converter still on it, could use some shocks when I did the suspension and springs the shocks were fine Rancho 5000, pry more new parts than I listed everything I mentioned I replaced was new in box from "Jeffs bronco graveyard. com" everything works on the truck even the power tailgate window, the top has the slider vent windows in it, I purchased the complete suspension & body Energy Suspension Red urethane "kit" I do have the complete body bushing kit still in the box never put on the truck. Jeff's sold me the right suspension kit "I believe 4 degree pitch" matching the 3" lift Spring kit I purchased, rear springs are complete new main leaf all new leaves new bushings no redneck blocks or add a leaf to achieve the lift. For off road you just need to turn the key and go.. I would suggest new quarter panels tires and an alignment before it be road worthy again NOTE::: has the set of 4 Bush Wacker wheel flares the photos show the rear drivers side missing I have it, I took it off so I didnt lose it somewhere on the road as you can see that quarter panel is pretty bad, also the photos show no rear sway bar I have that too just not on the truck atm.. - Mileage discrepancy odometer reads 64,000 miles it is original miles, the title however at one point when I filed it got filed as exceeds limits and shows 162k rather than 62k I know the history my brother was the 2nd owner since the 80's it never turned over but the title shows it has so im listing as undetermined miles, I dumped a ton of money in last summer with high hope of finishing it and painting it now I am just trying to avoid putting it back in the barn because I dont know if/when I'll have time to do any more work to it. ******************************************************************************* AS IS NEEDS WORK - PROJECT - PARTS CAR - YOU CAN NOT DRIVE IT HOME - NEEDS TOWED AWAY - PICK UP ONLY WILL NOT CRATE PACK OR SHIP THIS ITEM<>BUYER MUST TOW IT OR TRAILER IT AWAY Clean Ohio title |

2013 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year finalists announced [w/poll]
Wed, 12 Dec 20122012 is almost in the books and automakers are spending December gearing up for the 2013 auto show season, which tips off next month at the Detroit Auto Show. Traditionally, the latter opens up with the announcement of the North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year awards, and this year figures to be no different.
But up until this moment, we didn't know which six vehicles would be parked ahead of the stage as finalists, with executives and engineers waiting for the winners to be disclosed. Whittled down from October's "short list" of nominees (11 cars and 10 truck/utility vehicles), the finalists are as follows:
2013 North American Car of the Year:
50 new vehicles by 2025: Ford making big push in China
Tue, Dec 5 2017SHANGHAI — Ford will launch 50 new vehicles in China by 2025, including 15 electrified vehicles, the U.S. firm said at an event in Shanghai on Tuesday, as it looks to rev up sales growth in the market and shift towards cleaner electric cars. Ford's sales in China have been weak in recent months, and the company is scrambling to come up with electric and hybrid vehicles to comply with strict Chinese quotas over production and sales for so-called new energy vehicles, or NEVs. The U.S. automaker is undergoing a broad review of its China operations, part of a strategic re-think under new Chief Executive Officer Jim Hackett, which will likely see the company focus on electric commercial vans as well as electric cars. "Between now and 2025, we will launch 50 new vehicles in China, and of those 50 new vehicles, 15 of them will be all-new electrified vehicles," said Peter Fleet, Ford's head of Asia Pacific, pointing to big growth in the "utility" segment. Fleet also said Ford's China revenue would grow by 50 percent over the same period. China is pushing automakers toward electric and hybrid petrol-electric vehicles, setting tough quotas for NEVs that come into play in 2019, and has signaled a longer-term shift away from traditional internal combustion engine cars. The major shift in the world's largest auto market has jolted some automakers, sparking a spate of recent electric vehicle (EV) joint ventures in the market. Ford has announced an EV tie-up with China's Anhui Zotye Automobile Co Ltd. "We've never seen change like we do today," said Ford Executive Chairman Bill Ford. "Everything is being disrupted" by the development of autonomous vehicles, trends such as ride-sharing and electric vehicles, he added. "It's clearly the case that China will lead the world in EV development, and so we at Ford are investing enormous amounts of money both here in China and globally to bring electrification into fruition."

Detroit's new fleet of donated police cars have safety issues [w/video]
Wed, 23 Oct 2013In a show of generosity in mid-August, Detroit's business leaders donated $8 million to the Police Department and Fire Department in order to buy 100 new police vehicles and 23 EMS ambulances. But now officers have discovered - and complained - that the police vehicles have glaring safety issues, Deadline Detroit reports. It is not made clear what models of the fleet vehicles - which include police versions of the Ford Taurus, the Chevrolet Caprice and the Dodge Charger - are affected by the safety issues.
Officers reportedly have complained that the Plexiglass partition separating front-seat officers and back-seat prisoners is easily breached, and that the front passenger seat is installed too close to the dashboard. Prisoners who manage to writhe out of their handcuffs can bend the Plexiglass and reach into the cockpit, and sitting too close to the dashboard can render airbags more dangerous and make officers more vulnerable to injury in a crash.
Mark Diaz, president of the Detroit Police Officers Association, received the complaints and reportedly said the vehicles would get safety updates addressing the issues. But Deadline Detroit reports that it checked some of the offending police cars and, as of the last few days, they hadn't been updated.
