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. 76,000 original miles; original engine rebuilt in 1999 but less than 1,000 miles since then. Has been in storage since 2000, driven occasionally until 2006. Pulled out of storage last year, taken to the mechanic for a complete check-up, new tires, 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 (see picture). 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, points, rotor, exhaust gasket, manifold re-surfaced, and carb completely rebuilt. Pull to the right when breaking hard, but I've yet to see an old Bronco that did not do this.

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

Recharge Wrap-up: Mercedes B-Class Electric Drive is a rock star, FedEx tests electric trucks

Thu, Oct 2 2014

The Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive is in a new music video for I Lived by OneRepublic. The band's singer, Ryan Tedder, has also been brought on as a brand ambassador for the German automaker. OneRepublic will also be performing the song at the Mercedes-Benz Media Night on the eve of the Paris Motor Show. No word if Mercedes plans to offer hordes of screaming teenage fans as an option package with the B-Class Electric Drive. See the video (the car shows up around the four-minute mark) or read more in the press release below. FedEx is testing converted electric delivery trucks with diesel range extenders. Looking to shrink its carbon footprint, the company has converted a handful of trucks as part of a pilot program. In addition to battery packs, each truck is equipped with diesel turbine generators (supplied by Ian Wright's company, Wrightspeed) to provide electricity when the battery is depleted. Because the diesel motors aren't powering the vehicle directly, they can continuously run at their most efficient speed, making the trucks about twice as efficient as those powered by traditional means. Read more at Wired. Ford's new aluminum-bodied F-150 will be 5 to 20 percent more efficient, the company says. The fuel economy gains depend on the particular version of the truck, but the biggest improvement will likely come from the 3.5-liter V6 and the 2.7-liter EcoBoost V-6. Automotive News predicts the F-150 SFE to be rated at 21 mpg city/28 highway/23 combined, which are identical figures to the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel. The result could be a noteworthy fuel economy battle between Ford and Ram trucks. Learn more at Automotive News. The US Department of Energy is providing $25 million in funding toward reducing the price of algal biofuels. The goal is to get the price of these renewable fuels below $5 per gasoline gallon equivalent (gge) by 2019, and less than $3 per gge by 2030. The money will fund projects to develop better algal cultures that produce biofuel and other useful bioproducts, and projects to boost biomass productivity. The DOE says it wants to help develop a "bioeconomy" that provides jobs, helps the environment and ensures energy security. Read more at Energy.gov. This content is hosted by a third party.

Ford Focus ST checks into Jay Leno's Garage

Mon, 23 Sep 2013

In a change of pace from the high-end vehicles that often appear in Jay Leno's Garage, Ford sends its hottest hatchback (in the US, at least), the 252-horsepower Focus ST, to be featured on Leno's show. Accompanying the five-door hatch is its chief engineer, Jamal Hameedi.
Riding on stylish 18-inch wheels with summer tires and with a spoiler that doubles as a lunch tray, Hameedi and Leno walk us through the finer points of what makes the ST special, which also includes bigger brakes, torque vectoring, a manual transmission and, of course, 252 hp and 270 pound-feet of torque from the 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, which is made possible by 21 psi of turbocharged boost.
Watch the video below to see what Leno thinks of the global Focus ST.

Ford-sponsored survey says a third of Brits have snapped a 'selfie' while driving [w/videos]

Fri, 08 Aug 2014

Talking on the phone while driving isn't advisable, and texting while driving is downright dangerous. Considering those truths, the fact that we even need to point this out this is incredibly disturbing: taking "selfies" while behind the wheel is exceptionally stupid. But, it's a thing that a third of 18- to 24-year-old British drivers have copped to doing, according to a new study from Ford.
Ford, through its Driving Skills for Life program, surveyed 7,000 smartphone owners from across Europe, all aged between 18 and 24, and found that young British drivers were more likely to snap a selfie while behind the wheel than their counterparts in Germany, France, Romania, Italy, Spain and Belgium.
According to the study, the average selfie takes 14 seconds, which, while traveling at 60 miles per hour, is long enough to travel over the length of nearly four football fields (the Ford study uses soccer fields, but we translated it to football, because, you know, America). That's an extremely dangerous distance to not be focused on the road.
