Clean '78 bronco xlt. Bought for hunting truck but it's too nice to tear up. I'm the 3rd owner and have known this truck since it was new. Have all the original paperwork and manuals. Was owned by a local farmer and was driven sparingly by his wife and daughters then stored in the early 90's until it was bought by my buddy in 2011. He never drove it and i bought it from him in 2012. Was started and drove around the barnyard a couple times a year to keep it in shape. Has only 82k original miles! Seats are in great shape, didn't want to remove covers for pics. Driver seat has one small wear spot on vinyal portion. Rear seat is black and in perfect condition, i belive it was added in later years. No cracks in dash, visors or door panels. Tilt column. INTERIOR IS NEARLY PERFECT. Rear window works good from the dash, the key switch on the tailgate seems to need replaced. Body has what seems to be surface, paint is flaking but body feels smooth and is solid. Truck was completly repainted about a year before it was stored, bad paint prep perhaps? Has nearly new tires, new shocks, new brakes, brake lines, master cyl and booster. Has 351m with edelbrock performer intake with new 600 cfm electric choke holley. Burns no oil, rear main has dime sized drip. Newer extra cooling raditator. C-6 trans with rv shift kit and aux tranny cooler. np 205 t case. 3.55 axles. 4x4 works fine. New a/c compresor and accumulator, A/C is ICE COLD. New gas tank, sending unit and fuel pump. Still retains it's factory exhaust, quiet and solid. Have original bronco spare tire cover in great shape, not pictured. No trailer hitch, has NEVER pulled anything! Everything works as it should except key on tailgate as noted earlier. This truck runs and drives like a new, Would not hesitate to drive it cross country tomarrow. Will help load on truck you send or local pickup. $200 Non refundable depost through pay pal at time of purchase and the balance in cash if local pickup or certified check if shipped. check clears before truck leaves my possesion.

Ford shows off V8-powered Ranger headed to Dakar Rally
Tue, 30 Jul 2013Avert your eyes now if you're jealous that the global version of the Ford Ranger is not offered in the US. Ford's midsize pickup is being tuned up to take on the 2014 Dakar Rally, and the result is a truck that is probably even cooler than any F-150 SVT Raptor we've ever seen in the States. Ford is actually building two versions of the truck for Dakar, which will run from January 5 through January 18, covering more than 5,000 miles from Argentina to Chile.
Starting with a fully composite body and a 5.0-liter V8 plucked from a Mustang, nearly every aspect of the trucks have been purpose built to take on the grueling race. This includes things like the six-speed sequential gearbox, liquid-cooled rear brakes and the 132-gallon fuel tank. As proof that Dakar is more about endurance than speed, the engines used in these race trucks will be limited to around 350 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque, and will max out at a top speed of just 105 miles per hour. Scroll down for Ford's official press release offering more information about the trucks and teams being prepped for Dakar.
Ford Mustang GT Bi-Fuel CNG
Tue, 23 Jul 2013Highly intrigued, we recently visited a Southern California Gas Company office to check out several hybrid vehicles promising something new. Unlike more commonplace gasoline-electric hybrids, we were there to evaluate innovative gasoline-compressed natural gas (CNG) hybrids - yes, they run on unleaded gasoline and compressed natural gas. According to the experts on hand, this arrangement delivers extended range and reduced emissions while chipping in with lower operating costs than pure-gasoline vehicles. There are advantages over its gasoline-electric counterparts, as well.
The program is part of a three-way collaboration between The Carlab, a Southern California-based automotive consulting firm, Landi Renzo USA, a company specializing in alternative fuel solutions, and America's Natural Gas Alliance, a group that promotes CNG. Long story short, the team has engineered a way to allow a modified internal combustion vehicle to seamlessly switch between two fuels (gasoline and CNG) with no driver intervention. In theory, and if it works as well as promised, it's a win-win for the vehicle owner and the environment.
Parked at the Gas Company office were six different gasoline-CNG hybrid vehicles. To demonstrate the technology's versatility (just about any gasoline vehicle may be modified) Carlab brought a varied assortment of bodystyles, each from a different automaker. After taking a quick glance at the half-dozen in the parking lot, we made a beeline for the performance-oriented Ford Mustang GT - a 2012 model - with the six-speed manual gearbox.
Ward's Automotive Ten Best Engines of 2014 dominated by diesels, turbos
Thu, 12 Dec 2013With the Car and Driver Ten Best decided, the North American Car and Truck of the Year finalists announced and Cadillac, Ram and Subaru chalking up wins with Motor Trend, it's fair to say that the automotive awards season is in full swing. The next set of trophies to be handed out will be from Ward's Automotive, which has announced the winners of its 2014 10 Best Engines.
The latest contest was marked by the widespread emergence of diesel power and the continued success of turbocharged engines. There was even an electric motor on this year's list. In fact, only three of the ten winners were naturally aspirated and only two winners returned from last year.
"We weren't looking to throw the bums out, as they might say about an election. We were just really impressed with the flood of new powertrains," said Ward's Automotive Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter. Those new powertrains include the 83-kilowatt electric motor from the Fiat 500e, the 1.0-liter, EcoBoost three-cylinder from the Ford Fiesta and the 2.0-liter turbodiesel from the Chevrolet Cruze.
