 I have an incredible truck at an incredible price ! So often too good to be true is just that, but in this case it is true. I have up for auction one of the 23,776 original first year broncos ever made. And, its one of the few left that didn't get the rear flares cut to make way for oversized tires. This timeless classic is the one that really helped start the off road and suv craze. It has been well owned and well maintained for years. It is a great riding and driving truck with its original 3.3 ltr 200 cu in straight 6 engine and three on the tree manual transmission. It absolutely cranks, drives, and shifts as it should with no hick ups at all. It was professionally and expertly painted three years ago with an enamel paint that looks virtually new. The interior is all there and all the gauges work as well as the blinkers, horn, lights, heat, fan and everything else. The only flaw there is the windshield wipers are out of sinc. I'm told I need a relay to be installed but have not followed up, I have the drivers side working and I never take it out in the rain so I had no interest in making the repair. The interior is as close to perfect as you can get, and the color combo looks great. The top is in great shape and the paint looks like glass. The only thing that's not stock are the bumpers that were made for this truck and fit and look better than the stock bumper, it also has a working 10,000 lb wench installed that has never been used to the best of my knowledge. Underneath the truck looks as good as the inside and outside of it does. I have been underneath and I will try to get it to a rack and update some photos later. I am going to sell it, and I am going to market it locally so I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. The truck is sold as is and I recommend anything you buy off of the computer you either inspect personally or send someone to do it as I have bought 4 cars on EBAY alone and 2 were as advertised and 2 were misrepresented to say the least. If you have any questions or would like to arrange an inspection or showing please text, or call me, my name is Robert and I can be reached at (256)508-4722. I have sold 6 cars on ebay and had 100% satisfaction with my listings and sold all my cars reasonably so bid with confidence and good luck !

 

      

Ford’s first-generation off-roader has gone from cult classic to mainstream collector

If you haven’t noticed lately, vintage 4x4s are heating up the collector market and the first-generation Ford Bronco is leading the way. Conceived as a competitor for elemental off-roaders such as Jeep and International-Harvester’s Scout, the Bronco’s dimensions were somewhat in between them. Its 92-inch wheelbase and 151.5-inch overall length were considerably longer than the Jeep CJ-5’s 83-inch wheelbase and 139-inch length, but shy of the Scout’s 100-inch wheelbase and 155-inch length.

Much like the groundbreaking Mustang, the original 1966 Bronco (introduced in August 1965) represented a brave new world for the Blue Oval, as Ford had never developed a dedicated 4x4 sport-utility vehicle. The frame, chassis and body would be created from scratch, although engineers logically adapted the front and rear axles from the company’s four-wheel-drive F-Series pickups and used them with a Bronco-specific Dana 20 transfer case.

Its 105-hp, 170-cubic-inch straight-six engine was a “pick-up,” too – from the Falcon, although the carburetor was fitted with a unique float to prevent fuel starvation on steep, off-road grades. The fuel pump was heavy-duty, too, for the same reason. A 289 V-8 would join the lineup later in the ’66 model year and would be supplanted by the 302 engine in 1969.  

A three-speed, column-shifted manual transmission was the only gearbox offered at first and an automatic transmission wouldn’t arrive on the option list until 1973. All models through all of the first-gen production years used a Ford 9-inch rear axle. A Dana 30 front axle was used through early 1971 and was replaced by the stronger Dana 44.

The transfer case drove the front and rear axles through constant-velocity, double-cardan universal joints. The design enabled a higher mounting position and greater ground clearance. A coil-spring front suspension and leaf-spring rear suspension were used. The front “mono-beam” axle was located by a pair of forged radius rods and a track bar. Out back forward-angled shocks were used on early models and replaced by rear-canted shocks. The short wheelbase and unique chassis/suspension features contributed to a super-short turning radius of less than 35 feet.

Three body styles were offered initially: the boxy wagon, a pickup-style half-cab and a Jeep-like Roadster. The roadster was the lowest-price models, with a base price of only $2,404 in 1966, but wasn’t popular and was axed from the lineup after 1968. All models were designed for work and the roster of factory options included items such as free-wheeling hubs, a limited-slip differential, heavy-duty cooling package and more, while dealers touted available post-hole diggers, power booms and power sprayers. The Bronco could even be upfitted as a small fire truck or tow truck.

With sales of 23,776 in its first year, the Bronco was off to a promising start. But with its Spartan interior – no carpeting, sound-deadening material or even a standard heater – it was definitely an SUV that emphasized utility over sport.

Updated Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator caught in new spy photos

Mon, Oct 26 2020

Face-lifted Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator prototypes were spotted in the wild Monday wearing fairly extensive camouflage disguising updated bodywork for the 2022 model year. Ford's two body-on-frame offerings (BOFferings? Nope. Pretend that didn't happen.) are both due for a nip and tuck, and with GM's fresh slate of full-sizers now available, the timing couldn't be more perfect.  There's not much we can discern from this Navigator prototype. The camo does a good job of masking whatever Lincoln has in store for the nose, but the tailgate has some discernible updates, including a significantly more pronounced recess for the license plate that also appears to be mounted higher on the hatch. This would likely indicate that the rear lighting scheme is getting an overhaul, as there doesn't appear to be enough room between the lower edge of the glass and the plate for the current scheme to be preserved.  The Expedition, on the other hand, has quite a bit going on. For starters, this prototype is not sporting the chrome-and-polish look we've come to associate with these often-blingy SUVs. Instead, we see a set of Goodyear Wrangler all-terrains on what appear to be 18" wheels, which are positively dwarfed by the turbine-style wheels on the Lincolns. Leaning even harder into the off-road theme, this prototype is not wearing the scalloped front air dam seen on other Expeditions. While it may have been removed for testing purposes, its absence (or replacement) would certainly do wonders for the big SUV's approach angle. Elsewhere, we can see what appear to be a new set of tail lights, and it would be safe to assume based on the camo that we'll see new front and rear bumper treatments.  We can also see a bit of the Expedition's interior, and there are quite a few things to note on this front. For starters, the prominent, vertically oriented infotainment screen takes after the Mustang Mach-E's unit. This is significant not only on spec, but also because it signals that the Expedition's interior will be departing more significantly from that of the F-150.  Related Video:

Ford's Farley apologizes for saying Blue Oval tracks customers with GPS

Fri, 10 Jan 2014

Ford marketing head honcho Jim Farley made waves at CES this week by telling show attendees, "We know everyone who breaks the law, we know when you're doing it." according to a report by Business Insider. Farley continued by saying, "We have GPS in your car, so we know what you're doing. By the way, we don't supply that data to anyone."
Farley has since amended his statement, saying that Ford dose not, in fact, track its customers in their cars "without their approval or consent."
Apparently carried away with a hypothetical notion, Farley was attempting to describe how Ford might be able to employee aggregated user data for things like accurate traffic reporting and pattern spotting. A Ford spokesperson confirmed with Business Insider that its GPS units are not sharing the whereabouts of drivers, though there are a few on-board services that might do so. After opting in to the services (and presumably being made aware of any/all tracking and data collection), Ford's Sync Services Directions and Crew Chief software do, in fact, allow data collection as a means of improving both systems. Farley added that the opt-in data is not shared, even when being tracked.

2013 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year finalists announced [w/poll]

Wed, 12 Dec 2012

2012 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:
