I am reluctantly selling my 1990 Ford Bronco II, 4x4. 2.9 liter, v6 engine. The truck starts right up, and sounds good. There is almost none of the common lifter "tick" that these 2.9's are infamous for. This nice looking truck has 6 inches of body lift (and some suspension lift too) and oversized (brand new) tires (31.5 inch). It's the 5 speed manual transmission and has manual shift 4x4 and manual locking hubs. Trust me, the electronic hubs and shifters are NOT worth the pain. Keep it simple...and always dependable! I put a new clutch in it right after I bought it (about 3-4 years ago) and new oversized shock absorbers, front and rear. The paint is in pretty good shape. There is some fading. Numerous chips and dings here and there. Very minimal body rust. One spot of rust on a rear fender can be seen (see pic). There are a couple of indentions on the upper part of the left front fender. These would probably pop right out if you have one of those suction tools. The frame and underbody is in good condition and has nothing but surface rust. This has not been driven much on salted roads.
The Interior is not in great condition. But is okay. The front seats need replacing. The passenger seat is not too bad, but drivers' seat is very worn, mostly from climbing up and down into the lifted cab.. Carpet is aged and stained. Headliner is good. Back seats are very nice. Dash has some cracking.
Here are some things that I know DO NOT WORK:
AC not working.
No stereo. There are some speakers present. Just no radio.
Passenger-side door is not opening. And the electric window and lock on that side is not working.
Please understand that this is a very highly lifted truck. That means that this is not a vehicle for your 16 year old daughter or your crazy teenaged son. They will roll it over. This is a vehicle made for looking cool or for someone who wants to do 4x4 jeep trails. It is not a drag racer. The rear end is not stock, and seems to be pretty high speed. This means that the initial take off of this truck is sluggish. The small 2.9 liter doesn't jump out of the gates as it pushes these BIG tires and all the body lift. It cruises really comfortably at 45 to 55 mph. But I wouldn't drive it long distances, as it's simply not safe at high speeds. It is top heavy. When using the 4 wheel drive in low range, this truck creeps along and will pull just about anything in the world up a mountain. It's a great trail rig. It is a fun to drive and fun to look at truck. I hate to let it go.
Note about the Vehicle History Report Summary: the sole discrepancy here is the previous owner had to have a new title printed by DMV due to losing the old one. He didn't have the mileage of the vehicle with him, so he simply put down 100,000. But the actual mileage was somewhere between 60,000 to 70,000 on the odometer. The reason the truck has been driven so few miles in the last number of years is because IT IS A LIFTED TRUCK. You don't take these on vacation drives across the USA. There's nothing I can do the clear this title issue up, due the previous bonehead owner! But look at the rest of the report and you can see there has never been an accident. Hope this explains the issue.
Since it is 23 years old, the truck is sold "as-is" and where it is. There is no warranty expressed or implied. I have done my best to accurately describe the vehicle. a $300 deposit will be required within 24 hours of auction end. If the deposit is not received in that time period, I will automatically relist the item. Don't bid unless you plan on buying the truck. There's not that many of these trucks left, so let the people who know what they're doing have them. Okay?!! The truck is for sale locally for $2000. People just started looking at it today (March 16). I reserve the right to end the auction early if I sell it locally (regardless of bidding history on the eBay auction.)
Please read this listing carefully and look at all the pictures. If you still have questions, then fire away. I'll do my best to answer in a timely fashion.

XCAR stages epic drag race between Ford GT40, GT70 and GT
Mon, 19 Aug 2013XCAR has put together what it believes is a first - a drag race between Ford's legendary, Le Mans-winning GT40, the more recent GT supercar it inspired and the little-known GT70 rally car. The three mid-engined monsters were all built for very different purposes, and not surprisingly, they come to battle with very different powertrains.
The GT40 is powered by a thumping, naturally aspirated V8. This example, which looks like a Mark IV model, is likely powered by a 7.0-liter engine, although it's not entirely clear how much power it's putting down. The GT70, meanwhile, was Ford's response to the Lancia Stratos. Considering that the Lancia is one of the greatest rally cars in history and many of you are probably just hearing of the GT70 for the first time, you can imagine how much success Ford had with it. Only six were produced before a change in regulations doomed this mid-engined rally car.
The Ford GT, meanwhile, doesn't really need an introduction. 550 horsepower is on offer from a 5.4-liter, supercharged V8, which keeps the GT competitive even against more modern supercars. 60 miles per hour arrives in well under four seconds while the top speed sits at 212 mph. Not bad for a car that went out of production in 2006.

BMW 328i: it's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gets called out for being more powerful and frugal than the six-cylinder it replaces.
How did Ford keep the GT a secret before Detroit?
Mon, Feb 2 2015True secrecy is a rarity in the automotive industry. Sure, companies try to keep their future projects under wraps all of the time, but usually a spy shot or blurry development photo leaks out. The complete lack of any hard details before its unveiling likely helped make the Ford GT one of the biggest stars of the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. Not only was it the favorite of Autoblog's editors, but the supercar scored a prestigious EyesOn Design Award, too. Rumors about the vehicle had circulated for weeks before the show, but no one really knew much about the GT until it rolled onto the stage for Ford's press conference in Joe Louis Arena. Amazingly, the Blue Oval kept things mostly a secret during the car's 14- month gestation period prior to its debut. According to Automotive News, the GT project began in late 2013 by a skunk works team, including six designers, that guided the supercar along from birth until the unveiling. Ford kept things clandestine by locking the vehicle in a basement storage room, and only the group members got a key to the lock. Much of the development was also done at night to further keep the secret, but occasionally the prototype was hauled outside on weekends to check it out in natural light. Because of the speed in getting the development done and for even more stealth, the designers didn't get input from the Blue Oval's other styling teams around the world. But that was somewhat of a double-edged sword. "You don't actually get to bounce opinions off people," Ford design boss Moray Callum said to Automotive News. "We were on tenterhooks ourselves until the first people saw it." Even now, there are still mysteries surrounding the GT. There's still no official word on the supercar's power; just that it's over 600 horsepower. There are also the persistent rumors going back months that the Blue Oval plans to take the GT racing to celebrate the 50th anniversary of automaker's Le Mans victory. Although, maybe this time the secrecy wasn't so good because we might have got a glimpse of the racer, recently. Related Video:
