1974 Ford Bronco 4X4 Ranger
This Bronco is claimed to be a one family owned vehicle that has spent almost it's entire life in northern Arizona. It was purchased new as a motor home tow-behind and was used for that purpose from new until 2011. It then went to Southern California where it had a carburetor fire in mid 2012 and was brought back to Arizona at that time. After repairing the wiring that was damaged and replacing the carburetor the vehicle is a runner-driver again. Much of the under hood plastic was damaged or deformed by the carb fire. An original 302 V8 with automatic vehicle with part time 4 wheel drive with warn hubs, the engine runs well- no ticking or knocking- and the trans shifts tight and smooth. It does leak oil. The transfer case and hubs seem to work well and both axles appear to be in good shape. The body is original and uncut with some dents and possible partial paint work in different areas- most notable being the right front fender damage. Most of the paint and trim appear to be original and the top does not look like it ever came off the vehicle. It has the Explorer option with chrome bumpers and trim as well as power steering, but no power brakes. It looks to have the original interior- with original rear seat- that needs to be redone, and it will need the windshield replaced. The only rust indicated is minor bubbling on the inner wheel housings under the hood on both sides and the under hood vent intake on passenger's side (see pics). Floors, rockers-virtually everything else looks to be rust free. All in all, a great original example for a restoration or just shape up what is here and use it as an original. The vehicle is listed for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. It is also available for inspection locally in Phoenix, Arizona. Please contact me to schedule an inspection or if you need any additional pictures or information. Thanks for looking, and happy bidding! |

Ford Mustang, F-150, Expedition, and Lincoln Navigator recalled
Wed, Apr 27 2016The Basics: Ford will recall 201,900 examples of the 2011-2012 F-150, 2012 Expedition, 2012 Mustang, and 2012 Lincoln Navigator. The affected vehicles have the 6R80 transmission. Of the total, there are 84,000 of them in the United States and 17,900 in Canada. The Problem: The output speed sensor on the vehicle's transmission lead frame can force the gearbox to downshift into first gear. If this happens at high speed, it could cause the rear tires to slide or lock up. Injuries/Deaths: There are no reported injuries, but Ford know of three accidents related to this problem. The Fix: Dealers will update the powertrain control module software to eliminate the problem, and they'll also replace the transmission lead frame. If You Own One: Ford will begin notifying affected customers by mail on May 23.

STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM
Fri, 16 Oct 2009Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.
