First things first. This is a 1969 so its not a Stroppe. Its a clone put together back in the late 70's. Secondly, this Bronco has a special history to me and I didn't think I would ever sell it, but we've got to move to Washington state from Mississippi and I've got too many vehicles to move. Doesn't mean I won't move them, it would be better if I didn't have too. That's probably the reason I've been lazy doing some small items that needed to be fixed.
This Bronco began life in Salt Lake. It spent most of its time in the Las Vegas and Eastern California area before moving North to Idaho. It made its way to Vancouver, WA where I purchased it after a short 8 or 9 month stay (the Bronco, not me). After a brief inspection,oil change and new set of 33" Maxxis Bighorn's, we set out for Mississippi. We left Vancouver, traveling down through Oregon, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas and finally Mississippi. The trip is recounted in issue 54 of Bronco Driver Magazine. Other than a loose connection on the battery and jumping out of 2 high in the transfer case it made the trip trouble free, getting 15.5 mpg. We spent some time offroading in the Mt. Carmel, Utah area searching for slot canyons. We covered 3044+ miles for the trip.
As for the Bronco, it has a good solid body. The only area of rust through I've found is a repaired area in the seam under the accelerator and brake pedals. I'll touch on the transfer case later but I opened up a small area in the floor to change out the shifter. This will need a cover plate installed. There are some dings in the body that will need some attention. The paint is tired and needs to be freshened up. Or you could do like me and just drive it. All the glass is good. All the doors open and close properly with new locks installed. The top is nice and the hatch opens and closes properly and it locks also.
The interior had some of the infamous "racing" bucket seats in it when I got it. It now has seats from a Taurus with the drivers seat being power. Let me say, I'm on the short side and also I like to sit higher up so I can see the front of the truck especially on trails. So the seats sit a little high for most probably. They're mounted to a frame work and bolted in place so could be easily removed and replaced if wanted. I didn't hook the power up permanent to the seat yet. The dash pad has a piece of material glued to it so I'm assuming its bad. All the instruments and controls with the exception of the fuel gauge (surprise, right) work. Both sending units are bad. Both tanks are good with no leaks. The wiper cover is in place and the wipers work great. I've put the Cherokee wiper arm conversion with conventional wiper blades on it. The headliner was painted sometime in the past and is flaking off now.
As for drive train. It has a 302, with a C4 automatic. Remember this is a 69, so I don't know when this transmission conversion was done. It was done with factory parts and looks nice. It has a Dana 30 in front and a 9" in the rear with 3:50 gears. I can't say what's in the differentials traction wise. I would assume they're open. The tires are 33" Maxxis Bighorns with less than 3500 miles. The chrome spoke wheels have some light rust pitting.
When I got it, it was manual steering and brakes. Since then I've put power steering and power brakes on it. The power steering system came from Bronco Graveyard and the brake conversion came from Horsepower Sales LLC. Both work great and I couldn't be happier with them. At the same time I put a 79 Ford truck tilt steering column in. I haven't put the lower firewall seal around the column but I have it. It has Warn hubs on it.
Now for the transfer case. On the trip, the transfer case began jumping out of gear. I used bungees to hold it in place for the rest of the trip. When I got home, I replaced it with another case I had. It's hard to shift and I'm not sure I'm any better off with it than I was with the other one. I bought a rebuilt transfer case and it comes with the Bronco.
That's about it. All questions should be directed through Ebay messaging. If you want to talk directly, send your number and I'll call you back. I'm retired and available most of the time. I'll work with a shipper loading or should you want to fly in and drive it home I'll pick you up at the airport.
$500 deposit within 48 hours of auction end. Rest in cash at pickup. Cashier's check Ok, but must clear before transfer. IF YOU HAVE ZERO FEEDBACK, DON'T BID, I'LL CANCEL YOUR BID. NO EXCEPTIONS!!

2015 Ford F-150 [w/videos]
Thu, 02 Oct 2014To learn more about the all-new 2015 F-150 and get an early read on its potential hero-or-zero status, we flew to the heart of full-size pickup truck country, San Antonio, TX, to spend a day driving, towing and playing in the mud with an assortment of Ford's innovative new trucks.
First, a caveat - while we feel we have a reasonably good handle on the new F-150 after attending this first-drive event, we are far from ready to pass definitive judgment on the success of this radically new rig. Our time in the various models was lamentably limited and we felt rushed. With so much at stake and with so much to talk about and experience, we had zero alone time with the vehicle - there were Ford folks shadowing us at every moment.
And we still don't know everything there is to know about the trucks, as Ford is withholding some of its most crucial numbers, including curb weight data and anticipated EPA fuel economy figures. We don't even have a firm on-sale date. All of this information is typically disclosed - or at least officially estimated - at the time of a new vehicle's first drive. This limits the scope of the judgments we feel comfortable making based on our first encounter.
Lexus gets top brand marks from Consumer Reports; Ford, Jeep hit hard
Tue, 25 Feb 2014Consumer Reports has released its 2014 Car Brand Report Cards, with Lexus again reigning at the top and doing so with the same industry-topping score of 79 that it registered in last year's Report Cards. This year, the institute credited its lineup for being "usually quiet, comfortable, and fuel-efficient," noting it's the only brand on the list "to achieve an excellent average overall reliability score." The Car Brand Report Cars list is meant to rank the best all-around vehicles based on CR testing and reliability results tallied by subscribers it surveyed. Each brand included must have sufficient test and reliability data for at least three models, a standard which left out 11 marques including Fiat, Jaguar, Land Rover and Porsche.
This 2014 Brand Report Cars edition is the first of a new format in which sub-brands have been broken out from their parent brands, with Acura using this year to move up the leaderboard into second place with a score of 75 for its "reliable, well-finished and somewhat sporty models." The top three was rounded out by Audi, climbing from eighth to third by scoring a 74 for "well-crafted interiors, nice handling and good gas mileage." Audi scored highest in the road-test portion, its improved reliability aiding its rise. The top nine was completed by Subaru, Toyota, Mazda, Honda, Infiniti and Mercedes-Benz.
Ford and Jeep weighed in at the other end of the rankings, Jeep taking the lowest overall score in the road tests and hampered by "a mix of spotty reliability." Ford was sunk by reliability issues with its MyFord Touch infotainment system which consumers found troublesome enough to negate its cars earning "solid test scores" for being "very nice to drive." Perhaps the rumored switch from Microsoft to Blackberry's QNX for the next generation SYNC will help them out. Cadillac's score also took a hit for infotainment reasons after it was the leading US brand last year, the CUE system in the XTS dragging Cadillac to the bottom of all General Motors brands.
Ford readying 2015 F-150 drift truck for SEMA
Sun, 19 Oct 2014Between the Mustangs you'd find in Formula D and the Fiestas in the Global and World rallycross championships, there's no shortage of Ford drift cars on the scene. But at the upcoming SEMA Show in Las Vegas, the Blue Oval automaker intends to show off a different kind of drift machine.
Created in collaboration with driftmeister Vaughn Gittin, Jr., this custom F-150 has been designed for "on- and off-road capabilities, as well as drifting and jumping." It's got a suspension with components from Kibbetech King and Air Lift Performance to give it 12 inches of travel and comes packed with 5 Recaro seats. Other details remain limited, but if the rendering above is anything to go by, it ought to be pretty awesome.
Alongside the Gittin truck, Ford will also be showcasing another F-150 designed together with freestyle motorcross rider Brian Deegan, packing the 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine and a long list of enhancements. Between these two trucks, Ford hopes to extend its winning streak for the Hottest Truck award that it's taken four years running now. Feel free to read more in the press release below.
