4 Sale, Very rare uncut nice looking and driving restored Early Classic Ford Bronco. Bronco is still very original to what it was when sold new over 43 years ago!  The Vin plate decode - U15 = 3800 gvw soft top or hard top option with full hard doors.  G = Factory V8  302 Bronco.   J = Dana front end fitted with rare factory 350 gears. (Great on and off road gears). Let's you drive the highways and Interstate at lower RPM.  Rear axle  I 8  = also matching 3.50  factory rear end gears. This Bronco can be driven out of town on long road trips (unlike most of them with 4:11 or rock crawl gearing).  C = Factory manual transmission = better performance on and off road than auto trans in my opinion and that of most Broncos owners. The factory paint code color is "1"  =  Factory color of Calypso Coral Orange. (Great color).  Then to top it off  the Bronco is a true factory Sport Model = lots of chrome trim and stainless on the body. All trim looks great! This Bronco is still all the above 43 years later and that's a rare thing for sure. Bronco has less than 12,000 proven, driven reliable miles on the oldest part of the restoration and 400 miles on the newest part of the restoration. This classic Ford Bronco is very sanitary and nicer than most you will ever see that get driven. It looks very nice inside and out and it runs and drives great. Bronco was built to drive and enjoy and is (very reliable) turn key and go first time /every time.  It has factory bronco 4 wheel drive and locking hubs so it can be enjoyed off road also. All the factory 4 wheel drive running gear is in great running order. The Bronco is powered by a nice running Ford V8 302 ci  motor as it should be. (Same V8 motor used in the early classic mustang).  The motor has been fitted with aluminum intake - headers and 4 bbl carb and dressed in chrome to look good. The motor and motor bay area both detailed very nice = SEE PHOTOS.  The motor runs 45 lb plus oil pressure and 180 deg water temp all day long! (NO LEAKS UNDER THIS BRONCO).  Motor is backed by the Factory Bronco manual transmission that shifts and downshifts nice = SEE VIDEO.  Ford 9 inch rear end fitted with factory 3.50 gears so it will run the highways and Interstate fine if you want to take the out of town on long road trips. (Was not built to be a mud truck or rock crawler)  Bronco has not been molested over the years like most!  Not lifted and cut up - rear fenders not cut off  - nice body and door fit.  90 percent or better of all older Broncos have been cut up and abused over the years. This Bronco still retains the correct factory Bronco suspension under it and it rides like a car, not like a bus or log truck like most of them with modified rock crawl suspensions - gearing and big body lift's and huge tires. It was rebuilt and restored and kept as original possible. A true Classic ( garage art ) and will turn every head in town driving in it or just parked on the street. The Bronco was repainted one time the original factory color, of  "Coral Orange" 12,000 mile ago on the outside. The Bronco has been waxed and garaged kept and the paint and Body paint touched up as needed to keep it looking very nice. SEE PHOTOS. Body paint still has a very nice high gloss shine to it and you will get a lot of thumbs up when driving in it. The inside of Bronco was just repainted for the first time less than 30 days ago to finish the project correct.  The Inside was also painted the original factory color of Coral Orange and it looks outstanding = SEE PHOTOS !  New door rubbers - new dash mat - new glove box insert - new FM /Cd stereo - new shift boots all installed new after inside was painted. New looks better! All lights work correct - all dash gauges work correct = SEE VIDEO. Bronco also also just fitted with a (New black full soft top with dark tinted removable side windows that zip in and out for open air driving) = SEE PHOTOS and VIDEO.  I just drove this Bronco on a 4 hours road trip and it drove very nice. No Issues, a fun drive for sure. Bronco has two gas tank also factory option. Bronco was upgraded to power steering so it is easy to drive. Also updated to power brakes and will stop on a dime. Broncos not sold with power steering and power brakes option in 1971 "so" it was added to make it fun and easy to drive. Column shift was moved to the floor ( FUN FUN FUN ). The inside driver and passenger floor pans were replaced during restoration being 43 years old, not bad but new is always better and inside looks great. The rear original floor pans looked perfect so kept in place. Inside was gutted and restored very nice = SEE PHOTO. Looks better than the day it was sold new by Ford. Bottom side pans cleaned and finished in SEM water proof rust inhibitor to seal and protect it from the harsh road elements for many years to come. Exhaust was older but in great shape so cleaned and painted in black hot rod ceramic paint. Frame - front end -rear end all cleaned and painted black = SEE PHOTOS. Bottom side is much cleaner than most of them for sure. Vehicle just serviced and detailed from top to bottom and ready to roll. So in a nut shell it is a very nice looking very original Bronco overall. It is powered by a V8 302 - Has manual transmission - Power steering -Power brakes. It runs nice and fun to drive. It is still very original and very hard to find them like this 43 years later. Less than 17,000 total Broncos built in 1971 . About 650 built as Baja Broncos makes it 16,400 left sold to the public and about 10,000 of them sold with V8  motor option.  Say 20 to 25 percent of them U14 factory half cab builds = 7,500 U15 Broncos left . Then about 10 percent painted in Coral Orange = round it off at 800 Factory Orange ones left - and then add in about 40 percent of all built being having Sport model package = 340 total maybe left on the planet. Then ask yourself how many left UNCUT . Most have been - cut up - lifted - running gear changed out - rusted - damaged - rolled over - bent up - vin numbers removed or missing all together over the past 43 years ?? -  I don't think you can find 100 left on this planet this original!  Above build numbers can be found on the internet.  Do the math = This Little Bronco is very rare still being the original color - uncut fenders and retaining it factory options 43 years later. I have owned or repaired and restored over 100 plus Classic Broncos over the past 30 years and can confirm this Bronco is nice and it's rare being so original on options and Vins. I don't build or repair them for the public anymore and won't (so please don't ask!)  It's still my hobby and always will be. Great investment being uncut = they only go up in value if you take care of them. California truck most it's life and was smog exempt in California due to age. Bronco garaged at my home in Las Vegas, Nevada at this time. Buyer more than welcome to inspect in person before end of auction. I have nothing to hide. I have done a long detailed listing, added 25 large photos , listed a ton a facts, and did a walk around & driving Video to show the vehicle in even better detail than most sellers ever will.  Bid with confidence this is a nice classic Bronco for sure. Clear California title to Buyer when PAID IN FULL. All Factory original Vin Numbers and plates still on vehicle 43 years later ( That's Very Rare ) .  Factory vin and ID plate still on the inside of the original glove box door as it should be. Original vin tag also on drivers door jam as it should be - and the factory Vin Number is still on the frame ( located on the top of the frame behind the passenger side front shock (in the area below the firewall as it should be). It the real thing! Seller will hold vehicle in locked garage until new owner can pick up in person or have transported to them. ( This Bronco is also for sale outside Ebay and this listing will be removed early if sold - so bid to own.)  Any Questions at all CALL SELLER Direct anytime at 702-592-2181 Enjoy Photos and Video.

Weekly Recap: Toyota propels hydrogen fuel cells

Sat, Jan 10 2015

Toyota is serious about hydrogen fuel cells, and it wants the auto industry to follow suit. The Japanese automaker said this week it's releasing 5,680 fuel cell patents from around the world, including technologies used on its upcoming sedan, the 2016 Mirai. The move is unusual, but not unprecedented, as Tesla similarly released its electric vehicle patents last year. The idea for Tesla, and now for Toyota, is to spur development of alternative propulsion. "By eliminating traditional corporate boundaries, we can speed the development of new technologies and move into the future of mobility more quickly, effectively and economically," said Bob Carter, Toyota Motor Sales senior vice president of automotive operations, in a statement. Toyota's fuel cell patents will be free to use through 2020, though patents related to producing and selling hydrogen will remain open forever. Toyota said it would like companies that use its patents to share their own hydrogen patents, but won't require it. "What Toyota's doing is really a logical move, and really a good move for the industry," Devin Lindsay, principal powertrain analyst with IHS Automotive, told Autoblog. The announcement was made at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. It comes as Toyota prepares to launch the hydrogen-powered Mirai in a limited number late this year in California. The launch will be extended to the Northeastern United States next year. Toyota also has announced plans to support networks of fueling stations in each region to try to smooth consumer adoption. The Mirai has a 300-mile range on a tank of hydrogen, and it takes about five minutes to refill. Fuel cells have been receiving increased attention recently, and Audi and Volkswagen debuted hydrogen-powered cars at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show. Honda, another proponent of the technology, also showed its updated FCV concept in November in Japan. The company, however, has delayed its fuel cell sedan a year until 2016. Like Toyota, Honda says its hydrogen-powered car will have a range of 300 miles or more. Meanwhile, Hyundai currently offers leases for fuel-cell powered Tucsons, which have a 265-mile range, in Southern California. Despite the optimism some automakers have for fuel cells, the technology still faces barriers. A lack of filling stations has long held it back, and many consumers are not familiar with the potential benefits.

Ford hybrid sales rebound following MPG controversy

Sun, 31 Aug 2014

Ford hybrid customers apparently have very short memories. With two EPA fuel economy reratings in the last year, sales of the C-Max, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ haven't been too terribly dented, Ward's Auto reports.
All three vehicles saw sales dips following the August 2013 rerating, although sales of the MKZ Hybrid had begun to rebound as early as November of that year. C-Max sales, meanwhile, took slightly longer, with sales on a steadily improving course as early as February of this year.
The second rerating, in June of this year, has had an even smaller effect on the Blue Oval's hybrids. The C-Max has actually been subject to a sales increase, while both the MKZ and Fusion saw minor sales drops (less than 400 units between the two in the month following the rerating).

Ken Block is at it again in Gymkhana 6

Mon, 11 Nov 2013

If there's one thing we'll say about Ken Block and his latest installment in the Gymkhana family, it's that it's far more structured than previous videos, but that doesn't mean it skimps on the entertainment. Block is on a purpose-built course which was touted as "The... Ultimate... Gymkhana... Grid... Course" in last week's preview. Unlike Gymkhana 5, which took placed on closed streets in San Francisco, this course seems much more compact.
Block has an entire array of challenges to tackle in his 650-horsepower Ford Fiesta ST, and none of them look particularly easy. In fact, we'd argue that Gymkhana 6's grid course requires much more precise driving that previous titles. There are Segways, Lamborghinis and massive pieces of construction equipment that all must be dealt with.
We've got the entire 6:28 of Gymkhana madness for you down below. Scroll down for the video and then hit Comments and let us know how this installment compares to previous Block works.
