There isn't much to say about this truck but WOW. This is an original 1974 Bronco, not a restoration project. What you are looking at is exactly what left the factory in 1974 plus a lot of great upgrades. To build this truck as it is setup would run you well north of 45k if you could find a specimen this nice to start with. The owner is realizing he has a few too many toys and some of them need to go, he is also the owner of an excavating company and he knows how to treat his fleet. The pics speak for themselves. This Bronco rarely sees daylight, it is driven and shown a few times annually. I am helping to sell it, the owner is a very good friend of mine.

So what you have here is an original 1974 Bronco Ranger Edition. The body is rust free, there is one small spot of surface imperfection under the paint as seen in the pics. There is one small ding on the LR corner and  molding as seen (we are not sure when or how it happened but I don't like surprises when picking something up so it is pointed out.) This is the original interior fabric and carpet.
The original unmolested 302 still sits proudly under the hood, it now has a HEI electronic ignition. The hood was professionally reconfigured to accommodate the taller more reliable distributor. Standard 3 speed (on the tree) has never been touched other than oil service and shifts like the day it was purchased. Limited slip front and rear axles.
Vehicle is OIL UNDERCOATED (HEAVILY)

New Clutch w/ 19 finger modern pressure plate with disc flywheel and throw out bearing were installed (NICE)
Factory steering gearbox was replaced with 3:1 ratio.
Rancho Steering Dampener and Front Springs
New Rear Shocks
US Wheel Chrome Spoked wheels with BF Groodrich Radial T/A (Like New)
Power Brakes 
Roll Bar and 3 point seat belts were added
Class 3 Receiver W/Hitch and Wiring installed (I don't think it's been used) 
8000 Series Warn Winch  
New C bushings and alaignment
New Flowmaster Dual Exhaust
Duff 2 inch Lift
ClassisAir  A/C professionally installed 
Factory Dual Fuel Tanks with Skid Plates 
Aftermarket AM/FM Clarion Cassette
Folding Chrome Exterior Mirrors,
Adjustable Track Bar
Custom Steering Wheel

This Bronco is very well documented with ultra low mileage. Current Owner is the 4th owner, we have the original window sticker, owner's manual, brochure, sales invoice, registration, original title and many other related documents.
This Bronco is a very rare find in this condition. The vehicle is sold as is with no warranty but I can tell you this truck runs and drives as nice as it looks it is a real piece of American History and a treasure for a Ford Collector or enthusiast. The current owner has over 33k invested in this truck, the reserve will reflect that. Please no low ball offers, we are not desperate to move it . The truck is for sale locally and via other venues so this listing could end without notice. If you want to make a reasonable offer send it, the worst we can say is no.
All standard equipment parts  removed are included with the sale. The only thing we do not have are the stock wheels but we do have the original hub caps (not reproductions). The truck currently sits in it's stable in Castleton Vermont and can be seen by prearranged appointment. We would love to show it, please let us know if you are interested.
I would not hesitate to drive it home regardless of where home is. We will be happy to help with shipping or Export. We can also help with transportation to or from a nearby airport, however anything beyond the sale price of the vehicle is the responsibility of the buyer.
 
A 500 Dollar non refundable deposit is due within 24 hours of the sale. Completion and payment in Cash or Certified Funds is expected within 10 days of purchase.

I have provided the most accurate description I can and provided great pictures but remember this is a 40 year old vehicle. What you see is what you are buying there will be no surprises when you come to pick it up.
THIS VEHICLE IS SOLD AS IS WITHOUT WARRANTY.

VW going turbo-only in 3 to 4 years

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

This really was a matter of when, rather than if. Volkswagen will apparently be the first manufacturer to phase out naturally aspirated engines in favor of turbocharging its full slate. VW is kind of responsible for ushering in this push towards small-displacement, turbocharged engines that's taken the industry by storm. When it dropped its direct-injection, 2.0-liter turbo in the 2005 GTI it demonstrated that strapping an iron long to an engine can enhance the powertrain as a whole. VW made fuel economy gains, while also giving a linear, non-laggy turbo experience that it has replicated, model-after-model, to this day.
Speaking with The Detroit News, Volkswagen's executive Vice President of Group Quality, Marc Trahan, told the paper that, "We only have one normally aspirated gas engine, and when we go to the next generation vehicle that it's in, it will be replaced. So three, four years maximum."
Really, it's hard to get teary-eyed about either of these engines going away. VW has access to smaller powerplants that could easily match the performance of the 2.5 five-cylinder and the 3.6 V6, while gobbling up less fuel and providing a better driving experience. What we are sad about is that a similar statement about the extinction of NA engines came from the Vice President of Powertrain Engineering at Ford, Joe Bakaj. We'd certainly get teary-eyed over a world without Ford's excellent 5.0-liter V8.

Aussie Ford Falcon GT shows its rear end to Lamborghini Gallardo

Sun, 27 Apr 2014

When Ford Australia announces, as it did recently, that it wants to celebrate the end of its Ford Performance Vehicle division with a Falcon FPV GT-F that celebrates big-bore origins of the nameplate, it's talking about the kind of car in this video.
At some point the classic Falcon GT - said to be an XY series - was invited to a test of acceleration against a Lamborghini Gallardo. At the very least, the Falcon GT had a 351 cubic-inch motor and 300 horsepower, but whatever this guy's got under the hood of his yellow sedan makes has him so confident that he doesn't even move his elbow from its resting place on the door.
You'll find a reminder of Ford Australia's heyday, a raucous exhaust note and some NSFW language in the short video below.
