This is a 1973 Ford Bronco. I am the second owner. I believe it to be in very good condition, but it certainly has been used and has wear. I have never abused this vehicle nor do I believe the original owner did either. My wife and I have only used it during hunting seasons on "ranch" roads that we have permission to hunt. The left rear corner was in a minor to moderate accident prior to my ownership. It has some very minor evidence of rust but no serious rust issues of any kind. It was repainted prior to 1996. It has had no internal engine work done since new, but all external components have been replaced or overhauled (i.e. fuel pump, water pump, carb, radiator, heater core, motor mounts, starter, alternator). The engine runs good and does not use oil. The transmission was overhauled in 1976 at either 6100 miles or 61000 miles. I do not know which. Both rear end and front end have had new axel bearings installed, but no internal work done (i.e. gears). Every u-joint in the drive train has been replaced. All brake components have been replaced with exception of the drums. It has all new neoprene suspension parts on the front end. All new shocks with duel shocks being added to the front. Engine, transmission and steering do leak some oil due to age, but not really due to a malfunction. The odometer reads 98,501. When I asked the original owner if that was correct he stated that it had turned over. So, I have to assume that it has 198,501 miles, but I do not know what the actual miles are. The speedometer has always worked since I got it. This vehicle is almost all stock with the exception of the rear fenders being cut and flairs installed. Duel shocks being added to the front. The original steering wheel being replaced. The rear upholstery, carpeting and back seat have been removed for a more utilitarian use. The front bumper has been replaced with a winch type bumper. It has no winch at this time. It has no steel top nor am radio and speaker. But the dash has not been modified. I have modified the door hinge pins for quick and easy removal of the doors while hunting.

Overall this Bronco is in excellent condition for it's age. But, it is 41 years old. I get many compliments on it. It has been garaged the whole time that I have owned it and well taken care of and serviced. The only reason that I am selling it is I wish to get an ATV that I can haul in conjunction with my travel trailer.

First retail 2015 Ford Mustang headed to Barrett-Jackson

Fri, 20 Dec 2013

Want to be the very first person to own a 2015 Ford Mustang GT? Here's what you'll need to do: be in Scottsdale, AZ on January 18 for the Barrett-Jackson auction and bring a very big checkbook. Having a passion for charity isn't a bad idea either.
Yes, the first 2015 Mustang to be sold to the public will be crossing the block at Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale, with proceeds from the auction going to JDRF, the charity formerly known as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
"Ford Mustangs have always been among the most popular collector cars at Barrett-Jackson Collector Car events," said the president of Barrett-Jackson, Steve Davis. "While every collector wishes they had snapped up the first Mustang sold in 1964, this is an opportunity to realize that dream in a different way."

eBay Find of the Day: 1987 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe is showroom fresh

Tue, 27 Aug 2013

There's an ultra-rare Ford Thunderbird for sale on eBay, although it's not quite the T-Bird you're probably thinking. This is a 1987 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe, complete with a five-speed manual transmission and just a shade over 13,000 miles on the clock. The condition is said to be mint, and judging by the interior and exterior pictures, we're inclined to believe the seller. The paint is glossy and the interior looks showroom new, while the underbody is stunningly clean for a 36-year-old car.
Underhood sits a 2.3-liter, intercooled and turbocharged four-cylinder (also found in the Mustang SVO) that was producing 190 horsepower when it left the factory. Inside, the five-speed manual transmission adds to the car's rarity. The vehicle's sole owner has been as immaculate with the paperwork as he has with the rest of the car - it's all there, including brochures and other product material.
The eBay auction ends tomorrow at midnight (9:00 PM if you're on America's west coast). Bidding has reached $10,200, and there's still plenty of time to get in on this future classic. The vehicle is located in Millstone Township, NJ.

Nuclear-powered concept cars from the Atomic Age

Thu, 17 Jul 2014

In the 1950s and early 60s, the dawn of nuclear power was supposed to lead to a limitless consumer culture, a world of flying cars and autonomous kitchens all powered by clean energy. In Europe, it offered the then-limping continent a cheap, inexhaustible supply of power after years of rationing and infrastructure damage brought on by two World Wars.
The development of nuclear-powered submarines and ships during the 1940s and 50s led car designers to begin conceptualizing atomic vehicles. Fueled by a consistent reaction, these cars would theoretically produce no harmful byproducts and rarely need to refuel. Combining these vehicles with the new interstate system presented amazing potential for American mobility.
But the fantasy soon faded. There were just too many problems with the realities of nuclear power. For starters, the powerplant would be too small to attain a reaction unless the car contained weapons-grade atomic materials. Doing so would mean every fender-bender could result in a minor nuclear holocaust. Additionally, many of the designers assumed a lightweight shielding material or even forcefields would eventually be invented (they still haven't) to protect passengers from harmful radiation. Analyses of the atomic car concept at the time determined that a 50-ton lead barrier would be necessary to prevent exposure.
