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. |

Amazon looking to bring Kindle to your next car?
Mon, 25 Feb 2013Maybe so. The online retailer and digital media monolith recently announced the Amazon Cloud Player, an application for Ford Sync that allows users to stream media from their Amazon Cloud account directly to a Ford vehicle. This foray into automotive technology got the minds at Gigaom.com thinking about what could be next for Amazon. As Kevin Fitchard writes, the logical step is to make audio versions of your Kindle library selections available in your car. As he points out, Amazon has already laid the groundwork for such a move.
Amazon pulled the sheets back on Whispersync for Voice last year. The tech pairs ebooks with an Audible book for a small extra fee, allowing users to either read along with a narrator or switch between audio and text versions on command. Fitchard says it wouldn't be some great leap to apply the same principles to a car, where voice recognition software would allow users to pause or select chapters without ever taking their eyes off of the road.
It all sounds just fine to us, but Amazon hasn't said a thing about such a move. Still, we wouldn't be surprised to see the company come down this road in the near future just the same.

KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners
Sat, 30 Mar 2013The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.
