1973 FORD BRONCO NEAR MINT CONDITION. I bought this truck from a family where a frame off restoration was started and the dad passed away before completion. The frame was sanded down and smoothed out and repainted. On reassemble of the frame all new body bushings, radius bushings, brake lines, brakes and hardware, axle seals, 2 new fuel tanks and hoses, all new suspension coil springs and leaf springs, shocks, exhaust,new bumpers, and body bump stops were used. No expense was spared and everything is new. As for the body, it was very solid to start. the only rust repair needed was on the floor pans. Both floor pans were cut out and new OE pans welded back in. the rest of the body was sanded down and primed with a high build primer then shot with a bright white base coat to make the calypso coral really pop. This base coat was wet sanded and prepared for coral basecoat. After the calypso coral was applied it was sanded to 1500 then several coats of clear applied. The final wet sand was cut and buffed to 2500. Paint looks great. Underside of body had undercoating applied also. The drivetrain was rebuilt also. Engine was totally rebuilt and runs strong as can be. After motor was rebuilt I added several modifications...Chrome intake, chrome Edelbrock carb, chrome breather, valve covers, and Chrome brake booster. All new plugs, plug wire, distributor, new alternator, new starter, new fuel hoses, radiator hoses, etc.... A very nice Centech wiring harness was installed professionally and as you can tell in the engine compartment was all properly covered in loom and hidden as much as possible. The interior was updated as follows: James Duff shifters added, new seats and foam, new door panels, arm rests, door handles, mirrors, Rhino lined floor, all gauges work as if new, all lights work, turn signals, some new felt was installed around door glass, new upper and lower door seal, new hardtop and windshield seals, with new windshield glass. This Bronco sits on brand new 31/1050/15 all terrain tires and Pacer wheels. This Bronco has approximately 1000 miles on it since the restoration was complete and operates flawlessly.

Ford reports $3B profit in Q4, $6.9B for the year
Tue, 28 Jan 2014Good news out of Dearborn today, as Ford announced $3 billion in profit for the last quarter of 2013, a 90-percent increase over the same period of 2012. Net income for all of last year, meanwhile, jumped to $7.2 billion from $5.7 billion in 2012, while pre-tax profits sat at a decade-topping $6.9 billion for all of 2013.
The results of the substantial profit increases are bigger profit-sharing checks for UAW employees. How big? A record $8,800 on average for 47,000 UAW workers, making 2013 the biggest year for profit sharing in Ford history. In total, $414 million will be paid as part of the profit-sharing scheme.
Now, it should be pointed out that a fair portion of Ford's Q4 profits were due to tax benefits, totaling $2.1 billion, according to Automotive News. Total profits would have also been higher, had there not been a significant recall on the Escape, as well as plant issues in South America.

Ford to revisit CVTs?
Thu, Dec 11 2014Today, Ford wishes its first experience with non-hybrid continuously variable transmissions was far behind it. The Blue Oval was awash in complaints and a couple of class-action lawsuits over the CVTs used in its 2005-2007 Ford Freestyle, Five Hundred and Mercury Montego models, which were a manufactured in Batavia, Ohio as part of a joint venture with ZF. The company gave up on the CVT after just two years, but with fuel economy standards pressing automakers to conjure new tricks, Ford's global product development head, Raj Nair, is now saying the transmissions might make a return, "particularly in the low torque applications," says Automotive News. An obvious candidate for CVT consideration is the 1.0-liter Fiesta that can presently only be had with a five-speed manual. Beyond that, the company's 1.6-liter and 2.0-liter four-cylinder engines might fit the bill. Ford hasn't given any indication as to what vehicles it might use to reintroduce the CVT to the US market, or hints about timeline or who would develop it, however. Some CVT trivia: The 1990 Subaru Justy II was the first US passenger car offered with a continuously variable transmission - Subaru called it the ECVT. It handled gearing duties for a 1.2-liter, inline three-cylinder engine that got all of 70 horsepower. A contemporary blurb about the car begins with "Goodness, gracious, great gobs of gimmickry," and goes on to say that "We can't imagine where you would take this car for repairs, but we are certain that the one mechanic in the world who can fix it lives in a very expensive house." The transmission didn't win any fans, but the ECVT and the car have been largely forgotten, while Subaru played the long game and now you'll find its vastly improved Lineartronic CVT on six of the eight models it sells.
