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![]() .

Ford can't seem to build F-150 SVT Raptors fast enough. The off-road-ready trucks have been one of the Blue Oval's most reliable sellers, with record sales in eight of the last 10 months and a 14-percent jump in 2013. That's impressive enough, considering that the least expensive Raptor starts at $44,000. Factor in the modded F-150's fuel economy (it's rated at 11 miles per gallon in the city and 16 on the highway) and a national average gas price, as of this writing, of $3.55 per gallon, and its success is as unlikely as Ford's home team, the Detroit Lions, winning the Super Bowl this year (sorry, Lions fans, we're just quoting the experts in Vegas...).
Yet for some reason, Raptors spend an average of just 15 days on dealer lots before being snapped up, which is a quarter of the 60-day industry average. According to Ford's truck group marketing manager, Doug Scott, it's capability that keeps the Raptor selling strong. "What's helping drive Raptor sales is that Raptor delivers unmatched off-road performance to our customers. Raptor is also proof of our commitment to offer a truck for every customer and continuously improving them to meet our customers' evolving needs."
To address the strong demand for Raptors, Ford will bump production from three trucks per hour to five. Not much, we agree. But building an extra 48 trucks per day, at most, seems like a prudent way of addressing demand without oversaturating what is ultimately a niche market. Check out the press release below for more.

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.
