I purchased this from the grandson of the original 1970 purchaser. Approximately 1000 miles put on it since 1991 (maintenance sticker is on the door dated 1991 with 32,500 or so miles logged; the grandfather passed away shortly after). Always garaged since new. Grandpa used it for rock hunting hobby in Wyoming (only in the clear weather times). He also had an International 4x4 truck that was used for most transportation & some rock hunting.
There is a wood shelf mounted that Grandpa had for his dog to sit on behind his head (can be removed). A grab handle is on the passenger side of the dash which was for Grandma to pull herself into Bronco. Grandpa also must have discovered black spray sealent as you can see in the engine compartment. Sealed any possibility of air leaks around all cables, etcetera. He also kind of shielded areas where rocks might grab in the tires, fly up, scratch or dent the underside. As mentioned he'd go 4 wheel'n to look for his rock gems. Where there's rocks there's pebbles which get caught in tire tread & fly. He probably had more rough ready tires at that time. The 4x4 hubs lock/unlock and works. The floor 4x4 engager is stiff, but gets all ranges. 1000 miles since 1991 needs some lube spraying for sure. No water leaks, overheating, or oil smoke (at start up or driving). All gauges work correctly. I have not tried the tank switch yet (not sure how it works but will read up on it). Everything works (lights, roll up windows, forgot to push horn to fry-will report when know). Glass is almost perfect with the windshield having two BB/stone spots on the passenger side, but all clear/no cracks/no fogging/no seperation. According to the grandson, the top has never been off and the windshield has never been down. The rear hatch lift window & tailgate work as new. Locks all work.
Has two gas tanks, the original jack parts/spare, some small parts, two old type flares, four oil filters/old oil cans & an old fashoned magnetic trouble light. The original air cleaner assembly is included (original carb was replaced).

Other pictures are available including one of the original air cleaner (in excellent condition), engine, wheel wells, more floor areas, etc. Two locking gas caps w/keys are in parts (previous owner/grandson liked the blue painted caps. Grandson said he changed oil-filter. He drained the water system for most of the storage period after he inherited it. He added new antifreeze to the empty system a couple weeks ago do to selling decision. That decision was due to divorce. Other new items: shocks & fuel pump.

Ford offering factory-spec EcoBoost reflashes that don't void warranty*
Sat, Dec 27 2014Buy a supercharger or cold-air kit from Ford Racing and a Performance Calibration handset comes with it to reset the ECU for the upgrade. Now Ford Racing is offering the ProCal handset a la carte for $595, allowing you to reflash the ECU on your EcoBoost-equipped ride to extract more of its inherent capabilities without any additional upgrades. It gives you control of variables such as throttle response, idle speed and turbo wastegate control, among others. As for that warranty asterisk, the press release says enthusiasts can up the power "while maintaining the Ford-backed limited warranty." However Ford Motor Co. and Ford Racing are separate entities, and, best we can tell, when you reflash the ECU, your Ford warranty gets supplanted by the Ford Racing warranty. Say you bought a 2014 Ford, that means your five-year, 60,000-mile warranty becomes Ford Racing's three-year, 36,000-mile warranty, if we're reading the fine print correctly. If you have an older car and have driven more than 36,000 miles, then your warranty options are kaput, at least as far as a Ford in-house option. If have warranty concerns, you might also want to consider having a dealer perform the reflash, or at least ask about it. Once you've got past the small print, what about the numbers? At the moment Ford Racing offers tunes for the 2.0-liter EcoBoost in the Focus ST and the 1.6-liter EcoBoost in the Fiesta ST, and we're told there's a 90-pound-foot boost in torque at the crank after you've pressed the right buttons. Anecdotal evidence from a commenter at Road & Track says he went from 252 horsepower at the flywheel to 254 hp at the wheels, and 272 lb-ft at the flywheel to 354 lb-ft at the wheels, but we can't be sure that his adjustments were within Ford Racing specs. Your mileage, naturally, may vary. What about custom numbers for the 2.3-liter EcoBoost in the 2015 Ford Mustang? They aren't ready yet, but we're told we'll get something by the end of next year.

Ford Fusion and Fusion Hybrid nab five-star ratings from NHTSA
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Ford's Fusion and Fusion Hybrid have both received the highest five-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The rating is a big upgrade for the Fusion, which was completely redesigned for 2013. The previous model fell one star short of the top rating, after scoring only three stars in the frontal crash test and four stars in the side crash test and rollover evaluations. The 2013 Fusion received four stars in side crash and rollover testing and a full five stars in the front crash test.
Test results for the 2013 Fusion and Fusion Hybrid were greatly improved at least in part due to Ford's Personal Safety System. The system utilizes smarter sensors to gather crash data and tailor the car's restraint systems to the occupants. Seatbelt usage and seat position are taken into account to ensure airbags deploy with less pressure for smaller drivers, more for larger drivers.
The 2013 Fusion twins also received the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick+ designation. Read the official press release below.
Bacon-wrapped Ford Fiesta hams it up for International Bacon Day
Wed, 28 Aug 2013This is a bacon-wrapped Ford Fiesta. It is a real thing, that a real, multi-billion-dollar company designed. And it isn't even April Fools' Day. Designed for International Bacon Day, which is also apparently a thing, the 2014 Fiesta is finished in Green Envy paint - we're told black paint, like the color of a skillet, made the car look camouflaged - and features 10 gigantic decals depicting strips of tender, cured bacon.
The design, which was approved by the CEO of Benton's Country Hams, Allan Benton, show off the depth of Ford's Custom Graphics program. Unbelievably, Ford will actually start offering bacon decals to everyday customers, including (and we can't believe we're writing this) dual bacon racing stripes which will no doubt have Carroll Shelby spinning and/or salivating in his grave, and a "side of bacon," which wraps a couple of strips over the rear wheels.
Benton, who Ford claims is the King of Bacon, had this to say: "This car just makes so much sense." The Fiesta's marketing manager, Liz Elser added, "It's just awesome to drive down the road in a piece of bacon."
