1971 Ford Bronco on 2040-cars
Armona, California, United States
Feel free to ask me any questions about the car : burchard73@zoho.com .
Hi, I'm selling my personal frame off resto-mod Bronco. I purchased this for the sole purpose to build an
incredible show car and weekend driver. The restoration took almost two years and no expense spared. The body was
removed and the entire bronco taken apart. The body was blasted and the panels that needed to be replaced were. Not
necessarily from any issues but wanted to have the best canvas to start with. The body was then sealed and sent to
the body shop for paint. There was over 120 hours spent on making sure that the Lamborghini paint was going to be
prefect. The under side was coated with a bedliner type paint. The frame was sent to blast as well and was painted
with a frame gloss black paint. A disc brake conversion and new brake and fuel lines were installed as well as all
body mounts, shocks, gas tank and skid plate, springs (3 1/2), bumpers and t-case mount. The top was also blasted
sealed and painted and installed all new glass, seals, shocks, and hardware. Once the body was painted is was
placed back on the frame for final assembly. I installed a brand new create 302 and every nut and bolt was
replaced. The engine has new valve covers, manifold, ignition, oil pan, carb, plug wires, fuel pump, water pump,
fan, radiator, radiator hoses, belts alternator, and power steering pump. I also had a custom intake done so that
there was no clearance issues with the new factory hood. The transmission shifter cane was customized and installed
to allow the np435 to clear with a very clean look. The interior was completely insulated and all new carpet was
installed. 4 speakers were installed as well as an amp that allows you to play your phone through the speakers with
no head unit. A new console was installed and custom switch panel with push button start was fabricated to be
locked into the console for parking and storage. All new front and rear seats were installed along with new trim
and seat brackets. Racing seat belts were installed for the front seats. The dash was custom made for the auto
meter gauges. All new column, steering wheel, intermediate steering shaft, pedals, and dash were installed. The
wiring was a new kit and was made with custom hidden fuse box. All wiring was done, terminated, and loomed. New led
tail lights. The all new windshield, seals, door seals, inner door mechanics, door panels, door glass, mirrors,
handles, hinges and latches were installed. A custom roll cage was built, powder coated and installed.
Almost every single nut or bolt was replaced with ford bronco specific hardware. A custom dual flow master exhaust
was done.
All new driveshafts, joints and hardware
Basically everything is new
I am not a company that built this as a cookie cutter for profit. This bronco was built as a 1 off custom build for
my personal collection.
Before delivery the bronco will be sent out for polishing, break in oil change, once over on all bolts to ensure
its perfect. There was a couple small things that need touched up from the final assembly. I have put roughly 60
miles on it sense it was completed. It is absolutely incredible to drive. Life has changed in the last two years
and I can no longer keep it. If the bronco doesn't sell for what the market dictates for a build like this then it
will wait to be sold at either Barrett Jackson or Mecum later this year. Thank you for looking and let me know if
you have any questions.
I am located in Northern California and buyer is responsible for pickup. I will help facilitate though.

2013 Ford Explorer Sport
Thu, 04 Apr 2013When one speaks of sporty and fun-to-drive utility vehicles, few would put the Ford Explorer in the same category as the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, BMW X5 or Porsche Cayenne. Yet, with just a few reservations, I'd toss the new-for-2013 Ford Explorer Sport close to that arena for consideration.
As a recap, the sportiest of Explorers is fitted with Ford's twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter Ecoboost V6, making 365 horsepower and 350 pound feet of torque. Acceleration is brisk (figure about 7 seconds to 60 miles per hour), as power goes to all four wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission. Contributing to its more athletic demeanor are larger front brakes, a sport-tuned suspension, chassis upgrades, quicker steering ratio and a more aggressive wheel/tire package. Cosmetically, the Sport is distinguished by its blacked-out lights, black trim and noticeable lack of chrome (with the exception of the door handles).
Ford recently handed me the keys to a Ruby Red Metallic Explorer Sport. Rather than mindlessly drive the big seven-passenger all-wheel drive hauler in soccer mom circles around Los Angeles, I loaded up my family and embarked on a long weekend road trip to Yosemite National Park.
Ford Focus 1.0-liter Ecoboost to only get manual trans in US
Sun, 23 Feb 2014Photos of the 2015 Ford Focus leaked earlier today, but now we're able to tell you more details of the global five-door hatchback. Bucking automaker's troubling trend of ditching manual transmissions in favor of automatics, Ford says the new 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine will come only in a six-speed manual in the US, because, well, American drivers aren't as sophisticated as our European brothers and sisters.
Ford didn't come out and say it that way, but it has found American drivers are more prone to complain about automatics in smaller-engine cars, Raj Nair, Ford's group vice president of global product development, said at a press conference last week. The recent JD Power Vehicle Dependability Study backs up Ford's claims, pointing out that drivers are complaining about rough transmission shifts, engine hesitation and lack of power, particularly in small cars. In Europe and other parts of the world, drivers seem to understand the quirks of these pint-sized engines, Nair said, so they'll have the option to buy an automatic. Ford is working on tuning its dual-clutch transmissions to make them more amenable to American driver's tastes.
Ford will show off the refreshed 2015 Focus at the Geneva Motor Show in early March. The car is due for an update, having been on sale in its current form since 2012. The automaker said it is jamming the car full of new technology - like a USB port that promises to charge your phone in half the time as a regular USB port. Features like Sync and a rear back-up camera will come standard. For a more in-depth look at the car, take a look at the full press release.
Woman reunited with stolen Mustang after 28 years
Sun, Dec 28 2014An enthusiast Christmas story: Salinas, California resident Lynda Alsip bought a 1967 Ford Mustang in 1984 when she was 17 years old, having saved $800 after a summer of toil at a grocery store. She got a vanity plate that read "LYNDA67," for the year she was born, but she only got to enjoy the car for two years: in 1986, after a night out, someone stole it from her apartment complex. She hadn't seen it since. Then a man – another Salinas resident – tried to register the car at the DMV this year. He said he bought it as a project car in 1991, yet the DMV couldn't find any record of it. The DMV office sent the case of the untraceable car to the California Highway Patrol, where Officer Christopher Menchen dug into the records, and his search paid off. The officer located Alsip's stolen record report from 1986 and connected the Mustang to it's registered owner in 1986, who was Alsip's mother. The CHP found the forest green Mustang in the man's garage, and they figure it's been there since 1991. After waiting through the still-ongoing three-month investigation, the CHP reunited Alsip – now a wife and a mother of two – with her car on December 22. It's undriveable, but her original vanity plate is back on and she plans to restore it. The video above has the story.
