WORLDWIDE NO RESERVE AUCTION

1972 FORD EARLY BRONCO 4X4

                            

If you're looking for a great early Bronco this is the one to own.

 Why? For starters it has just three owners from new 

With a 302 under the hood and that unique hardtop it's a very high-quality SUV with a pedigree that's 100% ready to play in the dirt. Like its sibling the Mustang the early Bronco could be just about anything an owner wanted just by checking the right option boxes. This one has rear seating compartment and if you want to attract attention this is a great way to do it. 

Dark grey paint doesn't hurt either and It has an incredible shine.

 Will note that it sports a somewhat rare dual fuel tank option.

 The interior is in excellent condition with cloth bench seats is an unusual feature that's quite welcome here for safety.

 The black door panels are not original but look good and grey carpets tie everything together quite neatly and the paint on the door jambs and inner panels is every bit as nice as the exterior;

A manual transmission works with the 302's ample torque curve and  perfect for climbing through the rough stuff.

 

302 cubic inches' worth of V8 in a relatively lightweight package makes this Bronco extremely entertaining on the road and formidable in the dirt. The engine bay looks pretty authentic from the heavy-duty air cleaner to the unique angled master cylinder and power brake booster and it runs superbly.

 A massive radiator up front keeps it cool even when you're just creeping along in low gear and a recent carburetor means that it runs quite well.

Ford Blue paint and correct decals give it an authentic look and with a Pertronix ignition system it starts almost instantly. Underneath it shows well with lots of originality but excellent maintenance throughout. The manual transmission and transfer case are linked to a pair of Dana 44 axles with a modest lift kit to accommodate the oversized off-road tires on shiny aluminum wheels from a late-model Ford. With a great pedigree and extremely high-quality work this awesome little Bronco is one of the smarter moves you can make with these red-hot 4x4s.

This woman owns the first Ford Mustang sold in the US

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

As Ford celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Mustang with the unveiling of the all-new sixth-gen design, one Chicago women can lay claim to a piece of Mustang history. According to CBS Chicago, Gail Wise was the first person in the US to buy a Mustang in 1964, and she did so two days before the car was even unveiled to the public.
Wise, then a 22-year-old teacher, went into the Chicago Ford dealership wanting to buy a convertible, and a salesperson ushered her over to car covered by a tarp. That car was a baby blue Mustang convertible, which she still owns today - along with the documentation. After sitting for almost 30 years and undergoing a full restoration, the car now looks to be in original condition. The report says that this $3,400 purchase could be worth anywhere between $100,000 and $250,000. While this worked out well for Mrs. Wise, we wouldn't recommend anyone going into a dark, back room of a dealership hoping to get a jump on the purchase of a 2015 Mustang.

Weekly Recap: Marchionne's Manifesto again calls for industry consolidation

Sat, May 2 2015

Sergio Marchionne isn't taking no for an answer. Despite public rebuffs from General Motors and Ford, the leader of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles continues to push for consolidation within the auto industry. His latest assertion came Wednesday when he said a combination of FCA with another automaker could net savings of $5 billion or more annually. No, this isn't about selling his company, he claimed, it's about cutting costs. Put simply, the auto industry wastes money, Marchionne said during FCA's earnings conference call. Companies invest billions to develop basic components that all cars use, but many consumers don't care how they work or recognize the differences. "About half of this is really relevant in terms of positioning the car in the marketplace," he said. "The other half, in our view, is stuff which is neither visible to the consumer nor is it relevant to the consumer." In 2014, top automakers spent more than $100 million on product development, FCA estimated. Marchionne said consolidation could save up to $1 billion on powertrains alone, noting that almost every automaker offers four- and six-cylinder engines. Not everyone has to make their own, he contended. "The consumer could not give a flying leap whose engines we are using because they are irrelevant to the buying decision." That's pretty provocative for enthusiasts, but less so for average consumers. Still, there are major differences in power and efficiency ratings, even among similar engines. Skeptics could argue consolidation would also weaken competition and reduce choices for car buyers. Marchionne stressed his presentation, curiously entitled Confessions of a Capital Junkie, wouldn't require closing factories or dealerships. It's not his final "big deal" as CEO, intent to sell FCA, or a way to elevate his company up the automotive food chain. He claims he wants to fundamentally change the industry and its habit for burning cash. "The horrible part about this, and the thing that I find most offensive, is that the capital consumption rate is duplicative," he said. "It doesn't deliver real value to the consumer and it is in its purest form, economic waste."

How Ford's light lab keeps the sun shining on the new Mustang just right [w/video]

Thu, 02 Jan 2014

Anyone who's bought one of those old school metal shift knobs knows they're really cool until they sit in a parking lot in the sun for a few hours. Then they're not cool at all. Likewise, features such as the aluminum dash on the 2015 Ford Mustang can be all kinds of neat right up until the sun hits it just the right way and sends shards of blinding light through the cabin. The Ford Visual Performance and Evaluation Lab is where engineers figure out how to make sure that doesn't happen.
Cars like said Mustang are parked inside the 30-foot reflecting dome under 6,000 watts of lights that can mimic the sun at any time of day and in any weather condition. Engineers can then spend cold, overcast days inside, testing for interior legibility, glare and reflections on every interior and exterior surface as if it were bright and sunny. They can also learn how a car's sheetmetal and colors will look out of doors, all year round.
Ford showed off the lighting lab without the music and interviews three years ago when the Explorer was being prepared. You can watch it at work again in the video below, and read about it in the press release below that.
