1969 Bronco Sport, 351w, 3 Speed Column Shift, Great Project Bronco! on 2040-cars
East Berlin, Pennsylvania, United States
|
Up for auction is my 1969 Bronco Sport. Firstly the pictures are 4 years old....the Bronco is buried in the back of my garage where it has sat for the past 4 years. I will add more pics when I get it out! My plan was to restore it but I never got around to it. Have too many other projects going on and decided to let it go. It has a 351W engine, 3 speed column shift, 4WD, and standard brakes and steering. The roof is NOT a factory half cab. It is a standard wagon roof that was cut down by the previous owner and it was done very nicely. From the outside the only way you can tell is that it has a hatchback instead of the regular rear window. The divider behind the seats was fabricated by the same guy who did the roof. It needs a full restoration but is a VERY good candidate for one! It is VERY straight but rusty. I did find a rust hole in the frame near the LR shock mount but repairing it shouldn't be a problem, it didn't go to either flange. It has the typical Bronco rust in the floors and you can see the rocker panels. There is no exhaust, just short down pipes on the exhaust manifolds. Fenders and hood are very good other than some rust through in the leading edge of the hood on the right hand side. The rear door posts where the door strikers are need replaced. Front posts seem pretty solid and the doors close pretty good. Dash pad is no good and glove box door is bent. The brakes are not working at all. When I bought it the LR emergency brake cable was frozen and I had to cut it to get the brake to release. It could be pulled on a tow dolly but you would have to bring tires for it, I would not recommend pulling it on the tires that are on it. I will help load it. I did have the engine running when I bought it but the carb was leaking gas. I did drive it around a little and the 4WD worked and the transmission worked in all gears. The electrical system seemed good, most of the lights worked and I suspect the ones that didn't had corrosion issues with the bulbs. It had sat for 7 years when I bought it. I have the PA title in my name. Buyer would be responsible for transfer fees and there is a notary about 15 minutes from me. I accept Paypal or cash when picked up. I will help load it. It is also for sale locally at the buy it now price so the auction may end at any time. If you have any questions feel free to contact me! Thanks for looking! I have removed it from the garage and added more pictures. The front floors have been repaired and do not look bad, they are solid. There is rust through behind the seat in the floor. I included a picture of the rusted out part of the frame. It is on the bottom between the axle and rear spring hanger. Still repairable in my opinion, it is a box frame and could easily be pieced in and reinforced. The floor in the rear isn't bad, just a few spots around the edges. ****Edit-7/18/14**** I just want to clarify about the hole in the frame. It is clearly visible in the last picture. In this picture you are looking at the LR corner of the Bronco from underneath looking back. The hole is beside the spring hanger on the bottom of the frame. |

Top Gear's latest trailer shows off a golden Bugatti Chiron
Thu, Feb 23 2017Top Gear is returning on March 5, and after a lackluster first series with the new hosts, the new group seems determined not to hit a sophomore slump. Chris Evans is gone, and the latest teaser trailer shows the new trio of Matt LeBlanc, Chris Harris, and Rory Reid strapped into some pretty fantastic cars, including the Bugatti Chiron and the Ford GT. All of the typical Top Gear segments appear to be present, though the quick cuts don't give us many details. The trailer shows a copious amount of powerslides from an assortment of cars, and even Chris Harris racing around Daytona. Aside from the Bugatti and Ford, cars from Porsche, Lamborghini, Ferrari, BMW, Aston Martin, and Alfa Romeo are all present. Co-hosts Eddie Jordan and Sabine Schmitz don't appear at all, so it seems their roles may be downplayed to focus on three guys, as was the case pre-reboot. We have some hope for this re-relaunched show and will be keeping an eye out for more details in the lead-up to the series premiere.

Ford cuts 950 Russian jobs on weak demand
Thu, 03 Apr 2014The Russian auto market, in decline for the past year and further hit by the declining value of the ruble and recent sanctions over its annexation of Crimea, has forced Ford to cut jobs and shifts at two of its joint venture plants there. Around 700 of the 2,700 total workers who build the Russian-market Focus and Mondeo will be cut at the plant in Vsevolozhsk, near St. Petersburg as it drops to a single production shift. A second plant about 700 miles away in Yelabuga, in the Tartarstan region, will lose 250 workers. That plant builds seven vehicles, including the Explorer, Kuga and Edge.
The Moscow Times says Ford has been especially hit by the market decline, the overall market losing 5.5 percent in 2013 compared to the year before, but Ford sales dropping 18 percent in 2013 year-on-year. This year isn't going any better, with The Blue Oval posting a 21-percent decline through the first two months of 2014. That's why, though the Yelabuga plant builds the CUVs that customers are moving into, even it is facing cuts.
The job cuts in Vsevolozhsk come on top four-week plant shutdown planned so that the paint and body shops can go to one shift. In a statement, the company said, "Ford Sollers remains absolutely committed to the Russian market and is confident it has the right product plan, people and assets to deliver long-term profitable growth."
Mysterious small Ford spied in Germany
Sat, 29 Jun 2013Our spy photographers have just popped off a few shots of something curious. This little runabout was spotted in Germany out testing with a current-generation Ford Fiesta. We're fairly confident the machine is a Ford, but exactly which Ford model is up for debate. The hatchback could be the next-generation Ka, but we've also heard that the Blue Oval supermini might not get a replacement. Our shooter says the five-door is a bit smaller than the current Fiesta, though there is a chance that this rig is just an engineering mule for drivetrain development. Then again, it could be a model built specifically for the South African market or China, or not a Ford at all.
Whatever it is and wherever it's headed, you can check out in the gallery for a closer look before heading into Comments to weigh in with your best guess.
