1968 Ford Bronco. Had a frame off restoration around 12 years ago. Truck was stripped to the metal and epoxy primed. 289 V8 with Edelbrock Performer 289 cam, intake, timing chain kit, Edelbrock Performer 500CFM carb. High flow water pump, Be Cool aluminum radiator. C4 Trans and transfer case were rebuilt during the restoration. Has a stock 73 Bronco automatic steering column. The paint is decent but not perfect. There are chips and a few cracks(please see below pics and I will point out the flaws) It has not been driven much since the restoration, but when it has it was mostly off road. The inside floor and bed sides, and the underside of the fenders have been Linexed. All the glass, window tracks, window & door seals, and light lenses have been replaced. Heater box resealed. Rebuilt door hinges. Centec wiring harness, power steering, power front disc brakes, extended braded steel lines between axle and body, 2 1/2" suspension lift with Wild horses 11 pack rear leafs and progressive front springs. Ball joints & u joints, front & rear drive shaft and front axle bushings(suspension &body) are all replaced. Front has 7 degree camber bushings, which put the camber back into factory spec. Ford 9" rear end, Dana 44 front, both were rebuilt during restoration, and had limited slip units installed. Front and rear pre runner style bumpers with Hella lights on front. I believe they came from Tom's. 32" BFG's, American Racing Wheels, Warn hubs, 24 gallon gas tank, satellite radio, runs like a top, and is an absolute beast off road.

Below are pics of the car, and then flaws after that. The red on the diff pumpkin and back of the tank is not rust, it's red mud from Wheeler Geological Area. It's a nice Bronco, but it's not a trailer queen or a concours restoration. It was built to 4 wheel and that's what was done with it. Any question will be routed to my associate handling the sale. The truck has a Colorado title, and is currently in Pasadena California, where an appointment can be set up for a viewing. It is being offered at 32,500 with offers being considered. $1000 deposit required upon commitment to buy, with remainder due before release of vehicle by cash or cashier's check. All cashier's checks will have to be verified as good before release of vehicle.

Which is more fuel efficient, driving with a pickup's tailgate up or down?

Tue, 26 Aug 2014



Thanks to the smoke wand in the wind tunnel, you can actually see the difference in our video.
Should you drive with your pickup truck's tailgate up or down? It's an age-old controversy that's divided drivers for decades. Traditionalists will swear you should leave the tailgate down. Makes sense, right? It would seem to let the air flow more cleanly over the body and through the bed. But there's also a school of thought that argues trucks are designed to look and operate in a specific manner, and modern design techniques can help channel the airflow properly. So don't mess with all of that: Leave the tailgate up.

Trump did talk to Bill Ford, but the Kentucky plant was never moving to Mexico

Fri, Nov 18 2016

President-elect Donald J. Trump has been butting heads with Ford for a while now. A lot of it seems to stem from misunderstanding or misrepresenting facts about how the automaker currently does business and its plans for the future. After a sit-down with executive chairman Bill Ford Jr., the misunderstandings continue, but Trump has apparently convinced the company to make some changes. During his campaign, Trump claimed that Ford was going to fire US workers and move manufacturing to Mexico. That wasn't the case – yes, Ford planned to transfer Focus and C-Max production from Wayne, Michigan, to Cuautitlan, Mexico, but no, that wouldn't mean anyone losing their job. The Wayne plant will continue to operate, and likely busier than before, as it will be the home of the new Bronco and Ranger. So Ford CEO Mark Fields responded with the facts, and then chairman Bill Ford Jr. sat down with Trump over the summer. Things apparently weren't resolved to Trump's satisfaction, so he and Bill Ford spoke on the phone yesterday as he claims in this tweet: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Let's pick that apart. First off, it's not a Lincoln plant, per se – the Louisville Assembly Plant currently builds the Ford Escape and Lincoln MKC, two small crossovers that share a platform. Ford was considering moving MKC production out of Kentucky to Mexico, but it would not have resulted in many lost jobs if any – the union had already agreed to moving the MKC in 2015 negotiations, and taking production of the slow-selling Lincoln out of the plant would open up capacity for more Fords. Be that as it may, Ford has decided not to move MKC production out of the plant, either for political reasons of placation or because it didn't make the greatest deal of business sense, maybe a combination of the two. That means Trump isn't really saving any American jobs in the short term. If anything, this move could keep Ford supply-constrained and result in reduced sales, which in turn brings the company less money and affects the bottom line and all employees. But that's speculation, so we won't tweet it. There is of course the possibility that Ford will be convinced, either by sheer will or by a more attractive trade situation, to invest in increased US production, which could bear fruit later on. We are told by Ford that the two men did in fact speak yesterday.

Ford to reveal Vignale sub-brand with special Mondeo in Frankfurt

Tue, 03 Sep 2013

Ford says that 10-15 percent of its customers in Europe want their cars to be set apart from regular Fords - even those wearing the top Titanium X trim - and the Blue Oval will answer them with the Vignale sub-brand. The new brand proposes a more upscale look and a much-improved dealership experience, Autocar reports. The Vignale Mondeo will debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show to kick off the new endeavor.
The first Ford to receive the Vignale treatment will be the 2015 Mondeo, a Euro-only model, followed by the new S-Max and Edge. The Vignale Mondeo is set apart visually from other Mondeos by a chrome grille and chrome door handles and mirror caps. Mondeo badging will be deleted - only Vignale badging will make an appearance.
The interior will get a more upscale flavor, as well, with quilted leather seats and door trim and leather covering the instrument panel, center console and steering wheel. A Vignale-badged storage drawer will be installed in the trunk, and in-car Wi-Fi is available.
