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.

Man turns Ford Fiesta into a one-car band

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

The one-man band is a rather ridiculous idea, drawing up images of one person attempting to manipulate several instruments, at once, in a vain attempt at creating music. It's usually represented by silly scenes like this. Interestingly, the concept isn't much more successful when the "man" in "one-man band" is replaced with "car," as we see in this video.
It seems that someone rigged up and edited (699 times, we might add) a Ford Fiesta, a bucket, 12 PVC pipes and the natural sounds that a car makes to come up with a song. Now, we don't recognize the tune, so we've no idea if this is a cover or an original piece. And while it's hardly Beethoven, we have to admire the amount of effort the "conductor" went to in his attempt to turn a subcompact car into a musical instrument(s). Take a look (or listen) below for the entire video.

Xcar shows how to drive the Ford Model T

Wed, Jan 21 2015

A couple of weeks ago Xcar posted a teaser review of the Ford Model T, a look at what the British duo would have been doing if they'd been doing their thing for 100 years. Now we have their complete, 12-minute take on the what might be, as they say, "arguably the most important car of the 20th century." Thankfully, instead of just a review, Xcar spends about half the time giving us a tour of history, from Ford's early days working for the Edison Illuminating Company to his racing days and founding of several car companies that either died or became other car companies after he left, like Cadillac. They also line up the pieces and the sales realities that led to Ford implementing – not creating, mind you – assembly-line production of the Tin Lizzie. And then they get into how crazy it is to drive, like how a driver needs two of the three pedals, the handbrake lever and a steering column stalk to get into high gear. Enjoy the video above on a 100-year-old car that is "unbelievably comfortable," "mildly terrifying" and ready to do just about anything.

Ford Fiesta banned from SCCA autocrossing because of rollover risk

Wed, Jan 14 2015

Autocross can be a great way to break into motorsports, especially at SCCA events that allow run-of-the-mill, street-legal vehicles to be run through the cones in parking lots across the country. But while a wide array of vehicles are eligible, not every one is. And now the Ford Fiesta has been removed from the list of qualifying vehicles in the Sports Car Club of America's Street category for solo events. The removal of the Fiesta was publicized in the latest issue of the SCCA's Fastrack News bulletin, which stated that, due to roll-over risk, Fiestas "do not meet the requirements and are to be removed" from the HS category of eligible vehicles. H Stock (or HS for short) is the lowest category of vehicles certified by the SCCA for use in sanctioned events. The disqualification applies to Fiestas from the 2011 model year onwards, and does not apply to the Fiesta ST, which remains eligible. Of course the Fiesta isn't the only model deemed ineligible for SCCA autocross events. According to Jalopnik, other small hatchbacks and crossovers including the Dodge Caliber, Fiat 500, Scion xB and iQ, Nissan Juke and Mini Countryman are also prohibited from competition. We've reached out to both Ford and the SCCA for clarification on the issue, and will issue an update if and when we receive any substantial information.
