1968 Ford Bronco 289 Manual Transmission 4wd Convertible Solid Not Alot Of Rust! on 2040-cars
United States
This is my 1968 Bronco. It has been under an old shed for years, but the roof was falling. I'm not going to let the elements ruin this Bronco. Here it is for your consideration. If you have been looking for a solid body you should give it a look. It has a 289 engine, manual shift on the column, 4wd, a virtually rust free body. I mean that there are almost no rusted through areas. It does have some surface rust in areas. The rockers, firewall, and floors are in great shape. There is some rust through on the front of the drivers fender. Basically, the majority of this Bronco is very sound. It is perfect for a build. This Bronco is solid. It is not currently running. The last time it was on the road was in 1990. This is a V8 4wd Bronco. Title is free and clear. I have all of the glass minus the drivers door glass. It was broken. That's why you see the surface rust on the drivers front floor pan, but it isn't bad at all. Underneath this Bronco there is old mud and surface rust. The windshield is cracked. I laid the gas tanks, chrome molding, headlight chrome, rear drive shaft, etc. in the driveway. Please see the photos and ask about any concerns. Please ask if you have any concerns at all. It has a 289 engine with a 3 speed on the column shift transmission. The engine is in need of a fuel pump, valve covers, wires, and I honestly can't say if it still runs. It does turn. Be prepared for a rebuild as the worst case scenario. You shouldn't have to, but it has been sitting along time. It was last on the road in 1990. The steering coupler rag joint needs replacing, drivers door glass is broken, needs locking hub on the front drivers wheel, and the rear driveshaft is not complete. Please ask any and all questions that you have prior to bidding. You don't have to guess or wonder about anything. I will give honest and prompt answers to all of your questions to help you make a good decision about whether or not you should bid on this 1968 Ford Bronco. I could only upload 24 photos. Please let me know if you need more. Please only bid if you are capable of finishing the transaction. I'm located in Duluth, GA 30096. You will need to bring your trailer when you come to pickup the Bronco. I will help you load up everything and secure it. If you do decide to ship the car with a transporter that will not be a problem. I will assist your transporter with loading, securing, and promptly send you photos of the loaded vehicle as the transporter leaves me. Please bid to win. I'll do my part to take care of you. Thanks for your consideration.

Consumer Reports says Toyota, Ford, Honda and Chevy are big winners in brand perception survey
Wed, 05 Feb 2014According to Consumer Reports, the automotive brands that stand out in the minds of car buyers are, in order: Toyota, Ford, Honda and Chevrolet. This news comes after the magazine polled its readers, asking them to take into account vehicle quality, safety, performance, value, fuel economy, design/style, and technology/innovation - which are the factors that car shoppers are most influenced by.
It's important to note that this award is only about perception. In other words, it's perceived quality, not actual quality. "Often, perception can be a trailing indicator, reflecting years of good or bad performance in a category, and it can also be influenced by headlines in the media," said Jeff Bartlett, Consumer Reports deputy automotive editor.
The brand that made the biggest jump in perception amongst Consumer Reports readers is Tesla, which posted an impressive 47-point gain to finish in fifth place. Subaru is also notable for finishing in the top 10, despite being one of the smaller manufacturers doing business in the US.

Ford rethinking vehicle launch strategy
Tue, 07 May 2013With a new boss at the helm, Ford is looking at new ways to improve its vehicle launches in North America to prevent recent issues that have popped up with models like the Lincoln MKZ, Ford Escape and Ford Fusion. Speaking with Automotive News, Ford's new president of the Americas, Joe Hinrichs, revealed a few ways the automaker plans to avoid early build issues such as the engine fires on certain 2013 Escape and Fusion models and months-long delays for customers to receive their MKZs.
It sounds like the root of the problems may have been Ford's relationship with suppliers compounded by the fact that the product surge came on the heels of the recent industry-crippling recession, and in the AN article, Hinrichs says improvements are being made to reduce problems during the launch of new or redesigned models. Three such improvements that were implemented during the first quarter of this year including more rigorous quality comparisons, better use of computer technology to catch major problems sooner and hiring engineers to work closer with suppliers.
Hennessey unleashes 2015 HPE700 supercharged Ford Mustang
Sun, 05 Oct 2014Thanks to the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat there is a new magic number in the muscle car world - 707. To raise eyebrows these days in the power war, a vehicle needs to match or preferably exceed that palindromic figure. The tuners over at Hennessey took a look at it for their 2015 HPE700 Mustang and decided to go one better. Well, ten actually, because they bestowed their latest creation with 717 horsepower and 632 pound-feet of torque.
The HPE 700 Mustang takes the standard Mustang GT with its 5.0-liter V8 and turns up the power a few hundred notches with a Roots-type supercharger running at 7.25 psi. Hennessey claims that this boosted 'Stang can rocket to 60 miles per hour in about 3.6 seconds and cover the quarter-mile in 11.2 seconds at 131 mph. For those keeping score at home, those figures are very similar to Challenger Hellcat.
To cope with all of the added boost, the engine gets a high-flow throttle body, upgraded injectors, new fuel pump, stainless steel exhaust and Hennessey's calibration for the engine management. Pricing for the package is $59,500, including the base 2015 Mustang GT, but the company is limiting production to 500 units for the 2015 model year. Founder John Hennessey told Autoblog that he has already received about a dozen orders for them.
