 1971 Bill Stroppe prepared Baja Edition Bronco, rust free, highly optioned very nice Bronco.  This Baja is on the Baja Bronco Registry and is a highly optioned Baja. It had all of the standard options. Saginaw power steering (present), Stroppe lettered automatic transmission adapter (present), padded steering wheel (not present), Stroppe Deluxe roll bar (present), trailer hitch (not present), dual shocks (present), cut fender rear wells (present), trimmed front fenders (present), spare tire cover (reproduction), and front bumper braces (passenger side present).  In addition to the standard package, this Baja has a very cool Stroppe installed hood scoop. 

I found this Bronco painted green and the interior was brushed with asphalt emulsion.  It was horrible to remove but kept the original floorboards rust free.  The Bronco was given a paint job using Dupont Chromabase materials.  All the chrome, the bumpers, and all the lenses were replaced.  The suspension parts and axles were removed and all parts were powder coated when possible, otherwise painted.  A 2 1/2" suspension lift was installed with all new poly bushings and 8 new shocks.  The frame and underside of the tub were thoroughly cleaned and painted.  I found some vintage American Racing slotted aluminum wheels, had them polished, and put 32x11.50 BFG All Terrain tires on.  The seat springs and frames were powder coated and new foam and upholstery was installed.  The dash was painted its original parchment color and the pad was replaced.  

The engine compartment was cleaned, painted, the gaskets were replaced on the motor.  New valve covers, air cleaner, and exhaust have been installed.  Many other things have been done to this Bronco such as a larger after-market fuel tank and a dual motor wiper conversion kit.  A few custom touches have also been added to this Bronco.  Bronco Design Roadster style door inserts were installed with custom belt line chrome added to the inserts.  Bronco Design rear flares were put on, custom rivet-style bolts were used, and hood pins were installed to give it a super clean look.

Running gear on this Bronco is all in excellent condition.  The transmission shifts beautifully and the 351W is very powerful.  2 1/4" exhaust with glass packs makes this Bronco sound unbelievable.  This Bronco draws a lot of attention at car shows or driving down the freeway.  It looks and runs amazing, however it is 1971 technology and it's lifted with wide tires and a short wheel base.  Every time I take it out, it takes me a minute to get used to driving it.  Additionally this Bronco sits in the garage most of the time.  It has always run great for me but I only take it out a few times a year.  It's being sold as-is with no warranties.  The fuel gauge has stopped working properly.  The needle moves when you turn the key on but stays on E.  The rear main does drip a little bit due to sitting.  The radio is just a face plate only,  I did not need an AM only radio but like the clean look of the original.

This Bronco has performed excellent for me but I have only driven it to local car shows and parties.  The paint is about 5 years old so some rock chips and normal wear and tear has occurred.  Feel free to give me a call with any questions or to come take a look and drive it.  My number is 360-921-4278. 

Seller is responsible for arranging and paying for shipping.  My house is very near I-5 and there is a truck stop 5 minutes from my house for easy pick-up.

Ford recalls 1.3 million Fusions, MKZs: Steering wheels could come off

Wed, Mar 14 2018

When driving a car, the steering wheel is only expected to move in a rotational fashion, either clockwise or counter-clockwise. When it moves in some other direction, something is wrong, and when it moves the wrong way enough that it is no longer attached to the steering column, that's a really, really bad thing. And apparently, according to a recall issued by Ford, there are over 1.3 million Ford Fusions and Lincoln MKZs that are at risk of this happening. And at least two accidents and one injury have been attributed to the issue. Ford says the problem is that the steering wheel bolt that keeps the wheel attached to the column might not provide enough torque, resulting in the bolt slowly loosening and working its way off the column. The good news is that the fix is really simple. Ford will install a larger bolt with more threads along with a larger nylon patch to keep it all locked down. The fix is completely free to owners. Cars affected by the recall include 2014 to 2017 Fusions built built at the Flat Rock plant in Michigan between August 6, 2013, and February 29, 2016. Model year 2014-2018 Fusions and MKZs built at the Hermosillo factory in Mexico are also affected. So if you have one of those sedans, please get in touch with your local dealer to have the issue addressed. Related Video:

Ford, GM still doing new business with Takata amidst airbag crisis

Thu, Nov 20 2014

Lengthy vehicle development times make it difficult for automakers to cut and run from the supplier. You might expect automakers to be fleeing any connection with beleaguered supplier Takata in the wake of the company's exploding airbag inflator crisis. After all, with a Senate hearing, pending lawsuit, plummeting stock value and demand for a national recall, the tier-one supplier isn't at its strongest right now. However, years of cooperation mean that automakers are standing by Takata, and necessity may be playing a role, as well. About 39 percent of Takata's business comes from airbags, and seatbelts make up another significant chunk of the operation too, says Bloomberg. The long-term relationships and lengthy vehicle development times make it difficult for automakers to cut and run from the supplier. "Takata has so much product breadth that I don't really see that they could just disappear," said AutoPacific analyst Dave Sullivan to Bloomberg. For example, Takata helped develop the unique front center airbag with General Motors in models like the Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave. Outside of safety tech, it is also a partner with Ford on the adaptive steering system available on the upcoming 2015 Edge. These long-lasting partnerships make change difficult now that there's a problem. According to Reuters, automakers claim it would take a year or longer to set up with a different supplier for replacement airbag inflators. Switching to a completely different part for the repairs might not be a viable option either, because of the engineering time needed. BMW is taking action, though. According to Reuters, the Bavarian brand is working with the supplier to move inflator production from Monclova, Mexico, to a Takata factory in Freiburg, Germany. The Mexican plant may be the source of some of the faulty parts. News Source: Bloomberg, ReutersImage Credit: Jens Meyer / AP Photo BMW Ford GM Safety Takata airbag recall
