1973 Bronco with a Harley Davidson theme....

 

This Bronco has just had a facelift within the past year.  As you can see, it is a rust free solid Bronco that I purchased from its second owner who had the Bronco in Texas for over 25 years.  He bought it from his neighbor, the original owner, who sold it when he needed some money in the early '80's.  The Bronco had only 24K on this original motor when I purchased it from the second owner.

 

Being an avid biker myself, I changed the theme of this fun truck to please the Harley Davidson side of me. I have retuned and conducted a facelift on this truck to please most that see it.  It is really sharp and runs like a champ.  This engine is the original 302 cubic inch motor with a little over 26K on it now.  It has loads of power!  I have only maintained it and cleaned it up with new points, plugs and wires, new valve covers, and changed out the 2bbl to a 4bbl carburetor, and new air cleaner.  It starts like a jewel without problems and has absolutely no leaks anywhere underneath it.  I can't tell you enough how fun it is to take the top off and drive this powerful little truck!  It steers on a dime with power steering that is very reactive. 

I have the swing lever mount (painted up) for back spare tire to use as originally designed.  New power brake system (works great).  

One year old paint job (3 part DuPont system with two final coats on it)

HD logo seats with Marine/Boat grade material for no worries weather conditions. 

36 inch tires with aluminum polished wheels and new fender flares on the body

New roll bar for the off-roading look and feel

Turned out duel exhaust for great sound and rumble

2 and 1/2 inch lift kit for more 4x4 clearance

New professionally installed Marine grade CD/Radio with IPOD capabilities of programming

Also, three Marine grade box speakers for no worry weather conditions.

New one year old vinyl canopy sport top cover for nice weather driving like a jeep that will keep the direct sun off you and the passenger

 

I hate to get rid of it and really am truly sad that I am selling it, but have way too many toys now and need to sell a few off to please my wife.

I will be happy to answer questions to only serious bidders.  You can contact me at 217-325-3210 or on my cell @ 618-593-5129

Buyer will be responsible for pick up or delivery within a week of final sale. Seller reserves the right to end auction early as the vehicle is also for sale locally.

NHTSA closes Ford F-Series Super Duty steering probe without recall

Wed, 05 Feb 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's investigation into 2008 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty pickups, which was originally opened last year, has now ended without a recall. NHTSA was looking into steering failures on some 336,000 trucks.
The issue rested with the steering gear - NHTSA received five complaints of failures - which was redesigned in 2005. According to the report on the matter, investigators "found evidence of broken sector shaft gear teeth and piston damage consistent with incidents of single event overload."
NHTSA investigators, however, "found no evidence of fatigue or material property defects in any of the fractures. Analysis of complaint rates by vehicle build month showed no patterns indicating potential manufacturing quality issues and no difference before and after Ford introduced design changes to the input shaft and sector shaft seals in July 2007 to address potential leak concerns," according to the report, obtained by The Detroit News.

Guess which brand's not on a top 10 list of best EVs (hint: it's Tesla)

Thu, Jun 22 2023

Few surprises lurk in Autotrader’s list of its 10 best electric vehicles of 2023, but there is one that stands out: no Teslas. There's Hyundais and Kias, Porsches and Fords, a BMW and a Nissan. But Â… no Teslas. Although many of us admit to being over-Musked and tired of reading about him, the lack of a Tesla model on a selection of the 10 most desirable current EVs is conspicuous by its absence. Asked about this particular omission, we received this rather vague response from Autotrader spokesperson Brenna Buehler at Cox Automotive: “Tesla models were included in consideration but didnÂ’t get sufficiently high scores by the Editorial team to qualify for the top 10.” At least some Tesla offerings appeared to meet all the requirements set by the website. The manufacturers must offer 2023 model year vehicles, and they have to be sold in at least 15 states. Check. Only pure EVs were allowed on the list; there are no hybrids, plug-in hybrids or hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles. Check. The base manufacturer's suggested retail price must be less than $100,000. Check. Let the debates begin. Moving on, it should be noted that two Genesis models, a G80 sedan and GV 60 SUV, are listed, along with a Lucid Air midsize sedan, the Rivian R1T pickup, and the Porsche Taycan. Here is the full list, with the remarks and comments from Autotrader's raters. (And we've included links to Autoblog's own reviews for a deeper dive). The EVs are listed in alphabetical order by brand, so don't read anything into the order of presentation: 2023 BMW i4 BMW reboots its EV approach and comes up with a winner: Whatever you thought of BMW's first run at EV, the i3, it was missing a certain something – it didn't look or perform like a BMW. The 2023 BMW i4 corrects course with a Gran Coupe that our editors agree looks and drives like a BMW. 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning Ford's electric pickup gathers steam in its second year: The F-150 Lightning somehow synthesized decades of pickup truck knowledge with the latest and greatest EV technology and infused thoughtful details and user-friendly features. 2023 Genesis Electrified G80South Korea's luxury brand shows how to elevate the executive EV sedan without breaking the bank: Genesis, Hyundai's luxury offshoot, rethought the gasoline-powered luxury sedan, the G80, and developed the 2023 Genesis Electrified G80. Precisely as the name hints, the Electrified G80 replaces the G80's engine with an all-wheel-drive EV powertrain.

Watch these Australian Ford and Holden muscle cars duke it out

Wed, 21 Aug 2013

Australia's Motoring has put together a little video on two of the great performance vehicles available down under - the Holden VF Commodore HSV GTS and the Ford Falcon FPV GT R-Spec. And while both FPV and the Falcon might be on their way out, there's still plenty of time for a little head-to-head comparison between the two.
The cars aren't all that well evenly matched, though. The Ford boasts a 5.0-liter, supercharged V8, which the Aussies measure out at 449 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. The HSV, though, with its Corvette-derived, 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 is just too powerful - 576 hp and 545 lb-ft of torque.
Predictably, it doesn't end too well for the Ford. As the guys from Motoring point out, the new VF Commodore is just too new and too good, with its extra power and its adaptive dampers (GM's excellent MagnaRide). Interestingly, Motoring did point out that the Holden's electric steering is better than the Ford's hydraulic steering, which is a lot like a Porsche purist saying they prefer water-cooled engines to air cooled.
