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.

Lincoln Aviator could make a comeback

Tue, Jun 9 2015

The idea of Lincoln dropping its alphanumeric scheme in favor of real names was welcomed by fans of the marque and even appeared possible after the rousing reception to the Continental concept. Now, rumors suggest that the next of the luxury brand's nameplates to see a possible revival just might be the Aviator. Don't get your hopes up quite yet, though. The Truth About Cars admits that this tip comes from a second-hand source, but the person reports that Lincoln has a project codenamed Aviator as a model based on the Explorer. There's evidence to give the rumor some shaky support, though. Ford already has the trademarks for the name and AV8R. Also, an Explorer-based vehicle in 2019 is included for the brand's predictions in the recent Car Wars forecast. Autoblog reached out to company spokesperson Sam Locricchio, but he would not speculate about future products. The same source claims to The Truth About Cars that the Blue Oval might not replace the Ford Flex or Lincoln MKT when the current generations come to an end. Also, the next-gen Expedition and Navigator could use 10-speed automatics and follow the F-150 to get aluminum bodies, which is also already rumored. Although, all of this should be taken with a big grain of salt until anything more official has arrived. Lincoln spokesperson Stephane Cesareo gave The Truth About Cars no comment on the rumor, but said, "By 2020, we expect to expand the segments that we participate in by adding two new nameplates to the Lincoln brand. We have not provided any indications about the products or their names." Related Video:

Ford confirms 1.5-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine for 2014 Fusion

Thu, 11 Apr 2013

Earlier this week, reports were swirling 'round the internet about the 2014 Ford Fusion getting a new 1.5-liter three-cylinder EcoBoost engine. That was... half correct. Ford today confirmed that the 2014 Fusion is, in fact, getting a new 1.5-liter EcoBoost mill, but it has four cylinders, not three.
The new 1.5-liter engine will be the fifth EcoBoost powerplant from Ford Motor Company. Initially to be built at the automaker's Craiova, Romania plant, it will also be offered in the Fusion's twin, the Mondeo, in other markets. This engine will debut at the Shanghai Motor Show next month, and the 1.5-liter is of particular importance in the Chinese market - there is significant tax relief in the People's Republic for vehicles powered by engines with a capacity of 1.5 liters or less.
At a media briefing Thursday, Ford declined to divulge exact power or fuel economy numbers, though Joe Bakaj, vice president of powertrain engineering, told Autoblog that power output should be similar to that of the current 1.6-liter inline-four, and that overall efficiency will be "better than the 1.6." Our earlier report stated that the 1.5-liter four will produce 177 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque - losses of 1 hp and 7 lb-ft versus the 1.6-liter engine. Ford states that the 1.5-liter four will feature many of the same technologies used on the company's 1.0-liter EcoBoost inline-three, including an integrated exhaust manifold that recaptures much of the engine's heat.

Leno chooses his top 10 Mustangs

Sat, 14 Jun 2014

He may be a few months late to the party, but in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Ford Mustang, Jay Leno has delivered a short video in which he runs down which of the Blue Oval's pony cars from the past 50 years are his favorites.
The list is pretty darn similar to our own, with some of the big names from the Mustang's half century making an appearance, while there are three or four cars here that we think you'll be pretty surprised by.
Take a look below for this short video from Jay Leno's Garage.
