For Sale is my 1966 Bronco Sport. I bought this in 2009 as a restoration project. I did all the work myself except the paint. It took me 7 months of evenings and weekends to complete. It was originally uncut and I left it that way for a year. Eventually, I could not stand having the wheels I really wanted so I cut the fenders and installed the bushwacker fender flares. I kept the cutouts in case someone would want to revert it back. My goal for this bronco was not for it to be a show truck, although it has been in a few. I built it purely for the purpose of hunting and fishing. I used it to launch my boat into the river from my property and to hunt the mountains of North Central PA (primarily in Potter and Clinton County). For hunting in the mountains I've taken this back some of the most remote unplowed roads available, I never got stuck and it always gets me home or gets the deer out. I have a new project now and need the garage space.
For the restore I replaced nearly every mechanical part available. New brakes, drums, shoes, lines, reservoir, radiator, alternator, headlight switch,am/fm cd radio, fuel pump, electronic ignition, rebuilt carb, all new door hinges, latches, all new body mounts (mounts are 1" thicker than stock, providing a one inch lift), bronco II mirrors, washer and pump, and more. The top end of the engine has been rebuilt with new valves and gaskets. It is the original 6cylinder engine, which is an early 66 engine, since it has solid lifters (same engine as was in the ford econoline, had to get help from a very old mechanic to figure out how to adjust the valves). I left the inside fairly stock except for the rear seat which is an after market with seat belts (required to take the grandkids for a ride). I keep the bronco at my hunting camp near Lock Haven, PA. I have thousands invested and many receipts. I have replaced many more parts than I have listed. It always passes inspection and is super dependable. However, its an old school ride with 3 on the tree manual shifting, hand choke to warm it up, and its geared very low so not an ideal highway vehicle. When I do take in on the highway I usually do not go over 55mph, the 31" tires have an aggressive tread and are quite noisy over 45mph. I'm not revealing the reserve, but it is much lower than the buy it now price, and very fair given the condition of the bronco.
Not included in the sale are the air horns, gun racks, and grenade shifter. Included, but not pictured, with the buy it now price is an assortment of spare bronco parts: stock bumpers, completed upholstery kit for front and rear stock seats, adapter and 2 barrel carb (to upgrade from 1barrel), and numerous other parts like battery box and a tailgate. Fender cutouts are included in the auction sell as well as a matching spare rim to the wheels on the Bronco..
Questions: Rust is always the first asked on this vehicles. When I bought this project Bronco there were no major rust issues only small issues that I mostly addressed by cutting out the area and replaced with new metal. Previously repaired was the drivers floor pan and the rocker panels. Since both of these repairs seemed pretty solid I left them as is and have not had any issues in this area since 2009. The area I didn't address, but now regret is the rear quarter panels. From a previous owner, both quarters have some bondo in the seam between the upper and lower sections. As you can see in the pictures on the right rear quarter it began to crack over time. Probably because I drive the bronco mostly on rough mountain roads. The other area that I re-enforced was the rear of the frame where the after market bumper is attached. It looked thin to me so I welded in additional plate steel before adding the bumper. Mainly because I use the Bronco to tow my boat to the lake as well. When I did the restore I scaled the entire frame and coated it with the stuff that neutralizes surface rust and makes the paint extra hard. The roof and rockers I painted with spray bed liner, some of that is flaking off the roof. There are also a few chips and scratches in paint. A larger chip is on the top of the right front fender, from a zipper, its touched up in the picture. Any additional questions, feel free to contact me.
Preferred payment is a M&T Bank money order or one from the US Post Office a scan/copy needs to be sent to me at least 5 days before pickup so it can be verified.
Additional pictures available upon request.

Focus STs for SEMA include Lotus and Gulf liveries, rally-fied police car
Tue, 22 Oct 2013Ford, as we mentioned on Saturday, is pulling out all the stops for November's SEMA show, bringing 57 vehicles to the Las Vegas event. Ford will be staggering the release of its SEMA flotilla, though, so expect to hear a lot about the new additions to the fleet in the weeks to come. We already showed you the Fiesta, Fiesta ST and Mustang models that made up the first batch of SEMA cars. Next up, we have a quartet of modded Focus STs joining Ford's SEMA roster.
Our first Focus ST (pictured above) sports the legendary livery of Gulf Racing. The orange-on-blue scheme, which Ford helped make famous at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, has been updated for 2013, with a more vibrant blue. This ST was built by Universal Technical Institute, while the exterior was done by Neil Tjin of Tjin Edition. Side exhausts, a Vortech supercharger and a Motiv Concepts high-flow cat allow the ST to breathe a bit easier, while Forgestar wheels contrast well with the iconic paint scheme.
Focus ST number two has been done-up by PM Lifestyle and is inspired by "Southern California car culture." Sporting a sleek, pale blue paint job, there's also no shortage of carbon fiber on the car's exterior. The 2.0-liter, turbocharged, four-cylinder engine has been massaged by the likes of Banks Power, COBB Tuning and Ford Racing, while the suspension is wearing a shiny, new set of coilovers and sway bars. The meaty brakes, tucked behind 19-inch, Rotiform wheels, come from Wilwood, while the cabin has been fitted with a pair of Sparco Chrono seats and five-point, Schroth harnesses.
