1966 Ford Bronco Sport Utility on 2040-cars
Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, United States
|
This truck is an excellent example of an original 1st year Bronco. The original Bronco, or Early Bronco as it is usually referred to as, was manufactured by Ford from 1966 through 1977. Although the body remained mostly the same over the twelve year period, the 1966 model has several parts exclusive to that model year that make the '66 Bronco the most collectable. This Bronco features all of these parts including: 170 c.i six-cylinder (with only 83K miles), silver-blue seats covers (original material in excellent condition), tail lights without back-up lights, transfer case shifter knob, door & window handles, forward mounted rear shocks, hubcaps & squared off bumpers. The original 1966 Bronco hubcaps & bumpers are very rare and difficult to find when restoring these trucks, as they are not reproduced. This Bronco also features a fold down windshield & removable vent windows. Included with this sale is the original steel hardtop and also a white EZ-Trac soft top. Both tops are in excellent condition. The soft top features removable side & rear tinted windows.
I am the third owner of this Bronco. I have the original owners manual indicting that the 1st owner purchased this truck from Henson Ford, Inc., Clifton Forge, VA in 1966. The second owner brought the Bronco to Harrisburg, PA where it received new exterior paint, but otherwise was left untouched and used very sparingly. I purchased this Bronco approximately eight years ago and completed the following in order to make it an excellent driving and presentable show vehicle: New rocker panels and tailgate from Dennis Carpenter Ford Parts, repainted front & rear bumpers, degreased, wire brushed and painted underside of truck with Rust Encapsulator chassis paint from Eastwood, degreased and cleaned engine compartment, repainted engine block with correct color Ford Blue using high temperature engine paint from Eastwood, applied all OEM correct engine compartment decals from NPD, installed OEM style carpet kit with stainless trim from the Bronco Graveyard, new side mirror & outside door handles from Dennis Carpenter, new fuel pump, radiator & alternator, new exhaust system from AutoCrafters Inc., new spark plugs, wires, cap & rotor. Engine compartment and interior retain the factory original paint. The "Paint OK" stamped by Ford during manufacturing in 1966 is still present on top of firewall. Amazingly the seat covers are the original material and they are in excellent condition. Everything works on this truck - all gauges, lights, 4-wheel drive - EVERYTHING!! Tires & brakes are good. It starts right up every time and is ready for summer cruise nights & shows. NADA classic car guide lists the value of this 1st year Bronco at $14K to $25K. I've seen them sell as low as 1K (rust bucket) and as high as 40K (100 pt. show winner). It all depends on what type of Bronco you are looking for. This Bronco is priced right in the middle and is an excellent example of a well preserved vehicle with little changed from when Ford rolled it off the assembly line almost 50 years ago. It is a great driver and gets lots of attention at shows. I love this bronco and i am only selling it because I have several other projects and no room to store everything. This is a great running truck that very hard to find in original factory condition. AND PLEASE - IF YOU HAVE PLANS TO CUT UP THIS BRONCO & MAKE SOME OFF-ROAD TRAIL TRUCK, KEEP SEARCHING. THIS BRONCO DESERVES TO STAY ORIGINAL!!!! $500 bank check by US Mail required within three days of auction end. The Bronco should be picked-up within 2 weeks of auction end. Final payment accepted in form of bank check or cash only. No PayPal accepted for deposit or final payment. Please email, text or call me with questions at 215-892-6610. I'd be happy to answer any questions about the truck before you bid. |

Jay Leno and Lee Iacocca reflect on 50 years of Ford Mustang
Mon, 30 Dec 2013Lee Iacocca oversaw the birth of the Ford Mustang back in the 1960s, rocketing the new pony car nameplate into million-unit sales territory in its initial go-round and cementing its place in the history books. Thus, we were immediately drawn to this latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage, in which the funnyman hosts Iacocca for a look at the origins of Ford's most iconic sports car. The legendary auto exec is looking notably more frail than when we last saw him, but if we're being asked around as a video guest when we're 89 years old, we'll consider that evidence of a life well lived.
Serial No. 0001 is on hand for the occasion for Jay's romp through history, as is the historic Mustang 1 showcar from 1962. Of course, the all-new 2015 Ford Mustang GT (in prototype form) makes an appearance at the end of the episode with chief engineer Dave Pericak, as well. Get some, below.
Ford won't be releasing GT500 lap times for the 'Ring, or any other car
Wed, 27 Nov 2013Trucks have towing capacity, EVs have driving range and performance cars have Nürburgring lap times. What do all three have in common? They should all be taken with a grain of salt. Currently, there is no sanctioned way to record lap times or verify production-spec cars - a lesson we recently learned with the 2015 Nissan GT-R Nismo - and until there is a way to do so (and there probably never will be), we'll never officially know the actual time it took for Ford to lap the 'Ring with its ultra-powerful Shelby GT500.
After posting a Ford-made video of a 2013 GT500 running around the 'Ring, the guys over at SVTPerformance.com (an enthusiasts forum not affiliated with Ford or SVT) wanted more answers. They got in touch with Ford's Global Performance Vehicle Chief Engineer Jamal Hameedi, who said until there is a way to verify the times and inspect the cars, Ford will not get involved with lap-time wars. In the email, Hameedi pointed out that the 'Ring is a useful tool in that it allows a wide spectrum of track conditions, but until there is a governed way to record times, there is no way to accurately compare cars head-to-head.
And as much as some may not like it, Hameedi speaks the truth. It really isn't possible to compare times from one car to another, unless those cars were lapping the same track at the same time with the same driver. Not that any of this means there won't be continuous wars by fans and manufacturers alike... in other words, feel free to voice your opinions in the Comments below.
Consumer Reports explains its disdain for infotainment
Thu, 20 Mar 2014One of the perks of reviewing all manner of cars and trucks is that we're exposed to all the different infotainment systems. Whether Cadillac's CUE, Chrysler's UConnect, BMW's iDrive or MyFord Touch, we sample each and every infotainment system on the market.
Not surprisingly, some are better than others. It seems consumers have come to a similar consensus, with Consumer Reports claiming that Ford and Lincoln, Cadillac and Honda offer the worst user infotainment experiences. Not surprisingly, you won't find much argument among the Autoblog staff.
Take a look below to see just what it is about the latest batch of infotainment systems that grinds CR's gears. After that, scroll down into Comments and let us know if you agree with the mag's views.
