For sale is my 1972 Bronco. I am the 3rd owner, and have owned it for about 6 years. It spent almost all of it's life in a garage in Southern California, which means it doesn't have any rust. The fenders have not been cut. I was told by the previous owner that the paint is original. I drove it for the first year I owned it, and then decided to take it apart and put it back together. My goal with this build was to keep it as close as possible to a stock looking vehicle, while also adding some important reliability, comfort, and safety features. I have not done any paint or body work. In my opinion the paint is too nice to mess with, and it's only original once. I have every receipt for the items purchased during the build, and they will be given to the new owner. The build included the following: Engine: The original 302 engine was bored over to 306, and all internals were replaced. The cam is a performance cam from Erson, and gives pretty good power without a rough idle. The carburetor was replaced with a Mass-Flo electronic fuel injection system with 40lb injectors. The fuel injection computer is tucked away under the dash, which hides it nicely. All ignition components are Mallory. The heads were completely rebuilt with all new internals, roller rockers, adjustable arm studs, and the ports were matched and polished. The oil pan is a Milodon deep off-road pan, and is filled with Mobil-1 synthetic. The engine was broken in with Royal Purple engine break in oil, and then flushed with a conventional Castrol 10w-30 before changing to the Mobil-1 synthetic. The air intake is a washable K&N filter. The engine exhausts through full length ceramic Headman headers leading into a Magnaflow muffler with a 3" exit. It breathes nicely, and sounds good. The original belts were removed and replaced with a single belt serpentine system. I also installed an engine block heater in case I move to Canada or something. Transmission: The transmission is a C4 3 speed automatic transmission. It was completely rebuild with performance components, and gives nice crisp shifts. The original pan was replaced with a deep pan for increased capacity. The transfer case was also rebuilt with all new bearings and gears. The transfer case is operated from a twin stick shifter from Toms Bronco. Electrical: Every wire on the vehicle was replaced. I installed a complete Centech wiring harness, along with the upgraded waterproof connectors. The wiring harness for the EFI is from Mass-Flo, and came with the EFI system. The alternator is a new 100 amp 3G, and the battery is a new Die Hard AGM. The starter is a new high-torque mini-starter, which gives enough clearance from the headers for easy removal. The instrument cluster was sent off and rebuilt, with the volt meter upgrade. The odometer was reset to zero, and now shows around 1500 miles or so (I drive it some, so the mileage will increase). Heating/Cooling: The original heater was replaced with a 'Vintage Air' air conditioning system. I also opted for the upgraded billet controls for the dash. The heat works great, and the AC blows cold when charged. The AC system is currently not charged because I decided to move one of the lines to a better position. The original radiator was replaced with an aluminum Griffin radiator, which also has a transmission cooler. Suspension/Brakes: The original springs were replaced with a 2.5" spring kit from Tom's Bronco. I had originally planned on keeping the stock height, but I now think that it looks perfect with the slight lift. The original shocks were replaced with a dual shock kit from James Duff. This placed 2 shocks on each corner, which really helps with handling and stability. The C-bushings were replaced. The original drum brakes were replaced with 4 wheel power disc brakes with stainless steel lines. The steering was upgraded to a power steering kit from Tom's Bronco, and the steering stabilizer is from James Duff. The tires are 235/75r15 BF Goodrich ATs with about 90% tread, which is a 29" tire. It is possible to install a 31" tire with the new lift. I did not have it aligned after installing the lift, but it tracks pretty straight so I haven't bothered. Fuel: The original fuel tanks were removed and replaced with a single 23 gallon rear tank. The high pressure pump for the fuel injection is located inside the tank, and is oversized in case the injectors are upgraded in the future. The fuel supply line is 3/8", with a 5/16" return. The fuel pressure regulator is located in the engine compartment, and has a gauge to monitor the pressure (currently requires 40 lbs). Towing: There is a 2" receiver located in the back, and a brake controller box in the cab. Interior: The entire floor and roof are lined with 1/4" foil insulation. It really helps hold in the heat and keep out the noise. The firewall insulation was replaced with a new kit. The door and tailgate seals were replaced with new ones. The carpet was replaced with a rubber floor liner, which makes it nice and easy to clean out. The seats are the same as I received them. I installed a locking console between the seats (Tuffy Products), which houses a CD receiver. There are a pair of infiniti speakers in custom made panels above the rear wheel wells. The original AM/FM radio is included, but not installed. The speedometer is off a bit, but can be adjusted pretty easily. Exterior: The previous owner told me that the paint is original. The paint is in pretty good shape, but of course shows some chips from being driven. There are no dents, and of course no rust issues. I suppose this restoration is incomplete since I didn't paint it, but in my opinion the paint is too nice to mess with. I built this Bronco to be a comfortable daily driver, and didn't want a fancy and expensive paint job to worry about all the time. I did paint the entire frame and undercarriage with 3M rubberized undercoating, and I painted the engine compartment with a high-temp flat black before installing the engine. That is all the painting that was done. All new door seals were installed, along with seals for lights and turn signals. The windshield is brand new. Feel free to email me with other questions about it.

Galpin Auto Sports and Fisker turn the Mustang into a Rocket in LA [w/video]

Thu, Nov 20 2014

Galpin Auto Sport and Henrik Fisker made big promises about the Rocket before its debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show today, calling it the "ultimate American muscle car." Now that this 725-horsepower carbon-fiber Ford Mustang has officially been revealed, we've now got a chance to see if their vision backs up all the bluster. The Rocket is based off the latest 2015 Mustang, but the entire exterior design has been substantially reworked by Fisker. "This is a project born out of passion, it's a dream come true, to have the opportunity to 'touch' a Mustang and apply my design ideas to it," he says in the model's announcement. The biggest changes come up front, where Fisker has added a gaping hexagonal grille with a polished bar running and two nearly hidden driving lights at the top corners. Long nostrils run down each side of the hood, taking their inspiration from the 1968 Shelby GT500. The Rocket's design also emphasizes its scalloped sides, which run back to functional ducts at the rear to cool the Brembo Grand Turismo brakes. When checking out the Rocket from the rear, it's easy to spot the wider fenders that are beautifully blended into the integrated spoiler. The interior has been left mostly alone beyond some eye-grabbing red leather and carbon-fiber trim. Under the hood, Galpin spokesperson Nathan Hoyt has confirmed to Autoblog that the Rocket employs a 5.0-liter V8 with a Whipple supercharger which can be called to attention with a six-speed manual gearbox. It took only a few months for the vehicle to go from conception to reality. Fisker showed Galpin President Beau Boeckmann early sketches at this year's Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, and the two parties went from there. "When Henrik showed me his ideas, I got chills - it's literally the most beautiful Mustang I have ever seen," says Boeckmann in the company's release. Production is set to begin in December, with deliveries starting in early 2015. There's no set production total in mind for now, but Hoyt tells Autoblog that the price will be "just over $100,000." Scroll down to read all of the details about Fisker and Galpin's Rocket.

2015 Ford F-150 [w/videos]

Thu, 02 Oct 2014

To learn more about the all-new 2015 F-150 and get an early read on its potential hero-or-zero status, we flew to the heart of full-size pickup truck country, San Antonio, TX, to spend a day driving, towing and playing in the mud with an assortment of Ford's innovative new trucks.
First, a caveat - while we feel we have a reasonably good handle on the new F-150 after attending this first-drive event, we are far from ready to pass definitive judgment on the success of this radically new rig. Our time in the various models was lamentably limited and we felt rushed. With so much at stake and with so much to talk about and experience, we had zero alone time with the vehicle - there were Ford folks shadowing us at every moment.
And we still don't know everything there is to know about the trucks, as Ford is withholding some of its most crucial numbers, including curb weight data and anticipated EPA fuel economy figures. We don't even have a firm on-sale date. All of this information is typically disclosed - or at least officially estimated - at the time of a new vehicle's first drive. This limits the scope of the judgments we feel comfortable making based on our first encounter.

Tanner Foust gets eponymous hotted-up Ford Focus ST from Cobb Tuning

Thu, 14 Mar 2013

Racer and Top Gear USA host Tanner Foust has partnered up with Cobb Tuning to create a special-edition Ford Focus ST. The limited-edition hatches will come packing a reflashed ECU, special intercooler, tweaked intake and freer-flowing exhaust for up to 20 percent more power than the stock creation. Cobb says that the changes should push the final dyno figure to above 300 horsepower. Buyers can also expect to find special carbon fiber aerodynamic bits on board along with a new grille, graphics and wheels. Cobb hasn't released pricing on this Tanner Foust Edition Ford Focus ST as of yet, but you can bet the whole kit won't be cheap.
Fortunately, the company will sell you bits and pieces from the overall package for your Ford, and word has it engineers are also whipping up a Foust Fiesta ST. Look for Cobb's Focus ST website to go live next month, complete with accurate specs and pricing. Until then, enjoy clicking through the gallery here.
