True un-restored and uncut 1966 Ford Bronco Roadster, U13 vin code. Built in October, 1965. Bought from original owner's son in 1994 in Charlotte, NC. 75,103 original miles; original engine rebuilt in 1999 but only 1,000 miles since then. Has been in storage since 2000, driven occasionally until 2006. Pulled out of storage last month, taken to the mechanic for a complete check-up, and then detailed.

To the best of my knowledge, the Bronco has never been wrecked. I've certainly never wrecked it and I was told when I bought it, that it had never even been in a fender bender. The gas tank leaks when full.

New high-quality, custom-made seat covers (front buckets and rear bench) to match the original factory spec vinyl, including gray color (only color available on the '66 models) and texture, installed in 2000. Not sure if the paint is original (it's not been painted since I've had it) but is in very good condition. Small, slight bubble rust under paint in one place on front right quarter panel, near bumper. Slight surface rust on original floor pans; slight surface rust on the original bumpers. When I say "surface", I mean surface.

Just had all fluids changed, new tires (235/75R15 Goodyear radials), new battery, new brakes, rebuilt master cylinder, new right front brake cylinder, new front axle seals. My mechanic could not find a new distributor cap or rotor button, so it "bucks" a little on take off.

Less than 5,000 Roadsters were produced by Ford. How many are still around? And how many are still around in this condition...uncut, unmolested, and un-restored? My guess is less than five.

Features:

original number-matching 170cid straight 6 engine
original 1-barrel carburetor
original lock-out hubs (rebuilt 1995) on the 4-wheel drive front axle
original oil bath air filter
original vacuum windshield wipers
original hub caps, plus 4 extra rear caps (unique to '66--not sold on pickups or any other vehicles)
original straight-end bumpers (unique to '66 and '67 models)
original driver side mirror (unique to early Roadsters, not an after-market one)
original "pencil" dash pad, with no cracks (unique to '66 and '67 models)
original eyebrow grill (only found on early production '66s)
original FOMOCO washer fluid bag
original 3-on-the-tree 3.03 manual transmission
original long-throw 4-wheel drive transfer case control stick with round ball head (only found on early production '66s)
original rubber transfer case boot (unique to '66 models)
original rear bench seat, loved by my kids when they were little
original black arm rests on rear bench seat (unique to '66 models)
original 15-inch wheels, including the spare
original rear tail light lenses (no "clear" reverse section; unique to '66 models)
original FOMOCO tail hitch
original fold-down windshield (hinged to fold flat on top of the hood, with a pin hitch to hold it in place)
original skid plate protecting the transfer case

The successful bidder must make a $250 deposit via PayPal within 48 hours of the close of the auction. Full payment for the vehicle must be made within seven days of the close of the auction. The vehicle will not be released until payment is received via bank transfer or other means acceptable to the owner. Sale does not include shipping. Buyer is responsible for all shipping arrangements and costs.

I have tried to provide an honest description of this Bronco. I encourage anyone interested in bidding to view the Bronco in person, it is located in Pine Mountain, GA. If you have any questions, please let me know prior to bidding.

This Bronco is sold as-is, where-is, with no warranty implied or given.

On Jan-28-13 at 17:47:51 PST, seller added the following information:

To answer a question I received...this Bronco came from the factory without "hard" doors and top. It came with canvas doors (mounted on metal rod frames) and canvas top. There are no door hinges, just holes to receive the metal rod frames at the bottom. The current door frames are original; the canvas doors and canvas top are replacements the original owner did in the 1980's.

I've posted a picture from a few years ago showing the Bronco with the doors off and the top rolled up in the back and on the sided. I have a picture somewhere of the top completely off but cannot find it right now; if I find it, I'll post it.

Ford F-250 boots Cadillac Escalade from atop thieves' most-wanted list

Tue, 09 Jul 2013

The Ford F-Series has been America's best-selling truck for decades, but along with the good comes the bad, apparently. In addition to being popular with consumers, the Highway Loss Data Institute notes that the F-Series Super Duty has risen in popularity among thieves. Based on its new study, the four-wheel drive crew cab F-250 Super Duty has topped the list for the country's highest rate of insurance theft claims, knocking the Cadillac Escalade from the top spot - a distinction the luxury SUV has held since this annual report was first established in 2003.
To reach its findings, HLDI looks at theft data from the previous three model years (in this case 2010-2012) to determine the frequency of claims for a particular make and mode,l as well as the average payment per claim. As the report points out, the claims aren't always for the theft of the entire vehicle - they can include components (say, wheels and tires) or property taken from the vehicle. At seven claims per 1,000 insured vehicles, the F-250 is six times more likely to suffer a theft claim than the average vehicle.
The Cadillac likely dropped from the top of the list to sixth due to additional theft-prevention features including a steering wheel lock and inclination sensor for the alarm, but GM's other fullsize trucks and SUVs still occupy eight of the list's 10 spots. Some of the least stolen vehicles with below-average loss payments include the Lexus HS250h, Hyundai Tucson, Honda CR-V and Dodge Journey. Head on over to the HLDI's website for the full list that shows the most and least popular vehicles among thieves from 2010 through 2012.

Ford F-150 EcoBoost in NHTSA probe for acceleration issue

Tue, 28 May 2013

According to Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching a probe into 400,000 Ford F-150 models over possible acceleration problems. According to the article, NHTSA has received 95 reports "alleging incidents of reduced engine power during hard accelerations" on 2011 to 2013 F-150 models equipped with the company's 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine.
Automotive News reports that Ford has issued three technical service bulletins "related to intermittent stumble/misfire on acceleration from highway cruise in humid or damp conditions," according to the government agency's documents. About one third of the 95 reports NHTSA has received cited humid or rainy conditions when these problems allegedly occurred.
These technical service bulletins have allowed dealers to address a "condition related to moisture accumulation in the charge air cooler during extended highway cruising at constant throttle in humid or damp conditions," AN reports, citing NHTSA documents. Furthermore, the TSB outlines details for "reprogramming the powertrain control module with the latest calibration and installing a new CAC and air deflector plate."

Bill Ford augments his power by nearly doubling stake of supervoting shares

Fri, 28 Jun 2013

Bill Ford Jr. has more sway than ever over the automaker that bears his surname, as the great-grandson of Ford's founder has reportedly doubled is holdings of Class B Ford stock. According to a report from Reuters (which cites a newly discovered securities filing), he acquired some 3.7 million Class B shares from an unnamed family member.
Class B shares of Ford stock are held by descendants of Henry Ford and offer expanded voting power to their holders - Bill Ford Jr. now controls roughly 11.5 percent of the total Class B pool. Ford Jr. is also a one of five trustees that manage a voting trust that oversees the majority of these "supervoting" shares. In total, Reuters reports there are 71 million Class B shares that account for 40 percent of the voting power in the company, despite making up just 2 percent of the total volume of all Ford stock.
Ford Jr. served as Ford's CEO until 2006, when he stepped down to hire and make space for current CEO, Alan Mulally. The move to consolidate Ford family voting power, at least somewhat, is seen by many as a comforting sign with Mulally's departure from the company likely to happen in the next several years.
