FIRST YEAR of the V8 Bronco. Removable half-cab makes it even more rare. Completely uncut, unaltered original '66 Bronco repainted with original Caribbean Turquoise color in EXCELLENT CONDITION. Restored to its original condition, the only exception being a rebuilt bored-out 302 c.i. V8 block plus engine upgrades vs. the original 289 c.i. V8 completed about 500 miles ago.

Clean title, no wrecks, no rust, 4 WD. Original three speed on the floor. New suspension, new brakes, new shocks, new tires (including spare). The engine has an Edelbrock intake manifold with a four-barrel carburetor, new exhaust headers, and new exhaust system and mufflers. The valve covers are old-school Mickey Thompson. New power steering, coil, and fuel pump as well. Full restoration completed by the masters at Beach City Broncos with excellent paint. Rear rumble seat with all three seats reupholstered, heavy duty roll bar repainted black, bikini top, and trickle charger. This is a great value for the first year early Bronco in excellent condition. Exterior in near perfect condition with absolutely no dings, dents, or scratches. Half-cab top also repainted white without a scratch. A true classic collector's vehicle that will continue to increase in value.

Full restoration began in 2009 and was just completed with the following work performed:

-Original turquoise exterior color (code 12876)

-Suspension, 6 Ranchero shocks, brakes, tires

-Rebuilt bored-out 302 Ford V8 engine, hoses, belts, etc.

-4 barrel carburator, headers, exhaust system

-Power steering

-Ignition coil

-Electric fuel pump

-Fuel sending unit/gas tank sensor on main tank

-Voltage regulator

-Fuel gauge

-Window gaskets, including vent window and all window seals

-Dash gauge cluster

-Rubber hood bumpers

-Signal switch

-Gaskets for around doors, above windshield, below top in rear, rear glass gasket

-Window regulators

-Ignition switch

-Exhaust pipe, muffler, tail pipe

-Clutch

-Both gas tanks

-Water pump

-Reupholstered fabric insert front and rear seat

This is a nearly flawless restoration with the following exceptions:

-Independent windshield wipers work sporadically

-AM radio works well but tuner dial doesn't move needle

These are both items I refuse to replace with new parts. I have gone through much time and expense finding refurbished hardware for the entire restoration and I'm still on the hunt for these two items.

**Odometer is in working condition but not sure if 88,000 mileage is accurate, as the Bronco is nearly 50 yrs old. Due to age and smog exemption, no odometer readings available through Carfax, Autocheck, etc. I have no reason to believe this isn't the accurate mileage but simply can not guarantee it (just with any other classic that isn't original owner).**

Sale comes with approx. $30,000 in documented receipts (parts and PROFESSIONAL labor) organized in 3-ring binder. This doesn't include the hours I have put into the restoration or the original sales price of the Bronco. For questions please email. I am more than happy to take additional pictures of any square inch requested. Serious inquiries only please.

UK auto magazine says this is the best car commercial of all time [w/videos]

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

There have been many great car commercials over the years, but is it possible to define the best? Well, Ad Week recently took a crack at it by rating the top commercials of the year by looking at their view counts on YouTube, but Auto Express took a more democratic approach by putting the decision to a vote. Just after Thanksgiving, Auto Express came up with a list of the 20 popular commercials, and it tasked its readers with choosing the winner for the best car ad of all time. The winner? Honda's 2003 commercial for its then-new European Accord titled "The Cog."
While the ad never aired in the US, most car people have surely seen the impressive Rube Goldberg-style spot. In fact, the only commercial on this list that we saw on US television was the Volkswagen ad "The Force," but many of the others have become viral videos, including transforming and dancing Citroën C4. Of the 19 other commercials that vied for the title of best ad of all time, only the Ford Puma "Steve McQueen" commercial gave Honda a run for its advertising money.
Scroll down to watch Auto Express' top five commercial in order and to check out a press release, then let us know some of your favorite car commercials in Comments.

First Ford Mustang prototype shots caught by legendary spy shooter Jim Dunne

Fri, 12 Apr 2013

You know how people refer to someone as having "been around the block" to mean they're very experienced? Well, when it comes to automotive spy photography, Jim Dunne actually laid down the concrete slabs of the block's sidewalk. The unforgettable Dunne more or less invented the car spy game - a fact he cemented by writing book called Car Spy - and has been delivering spy shots and reporting on the industry for some 45 years now. (He also once employed this writer as his impromptu personal chauffer on a Volkswagen trip in Germany, while he slept, but that's a story for a different time.)
In any event, Dunne must be on a mission to prove that "elder statesman" doesn't also mean "washed up" as it is his shots of the upcoming new 2014 Ford Mustang that we've been handed by our friends at KGP Photography.
Mr. Dunne has likely spent the last few years obtaining powerful telescopic lenses, as the Ford in question has clearly been photographed from some distance. Nevertheless, what you see here is visual evidence that the sixth-generation Mustang has moved beyond the mule stage, and is now testing in proper prototype form. Sources indicate that there are production-spec body panels under that baggy canvass dress; but the slightly less bulky silhouette of the new car can be just made out. While the car's bumpers have been removed to obfuscate things, we can tell by way of the camo's apertures that the car's taillights have moved upwards and towards the lip of the tail. A fender vent appears to be visible, too, just behind the front wheel.

Ford and 'Dirty Jobs' pitchman Mike Rowe part ways [w/videos]

Thu, 20 Feb 2014

Former Dirty Jobs host Mike Rowe has one less job as of today - the pitchman is no longer a pitchman for Ford, with yesterday's announcement from Rowe ending a seven-year partnership between the TV host and the Blue Oval.
Rowe made the announcement to political pundit Glenn Beck, saying the two are "going in different directions" and wishing Ford "every possibly success that any car company could ever have," according to The Detroit News. Rowe and Ford got together in 2005, right around the time the 51-year-old came to prominence as the host of Dirty Jobs and the narrator for Deadliest Catch, two of the Discovery Channel's most popular shows.
Take a look below for a few video snippets of Rowe's tenure at Ford.
