1974 Ford Bronco

 

Background:

This truck was purchased by my father and myself around 2004 out of North Carolina.  We started restoring from the ground up and finished it around 2007.  It is essentially a frame up restoration, except we did not strip the frame because it was already in great shape.  In 2011 the title was switched over to my name and I have been using it as a daily driver since. It has always been kept under cover, except for the last 2-years.

 

Modifications/Accessories:

  • 302 motor built by Lloyd McCleary.  Lloyd has been featured in many Hot Rod Magazines and was famous for his Nascar motors.  He has since gone out of business (not due to the quality of his work), but we were lucky enough to get one of his motors prior to their closing.
    • Ported and polished
    • all performance part
    • aluminum heads
    • roller rockers
    • Edelbrock carb
    • MSD Ignition system
    • Edelbrock RPM Air Gap Chrome intake manifold
    • I watched this engine turn out 460 HP on the dyno when we went to pick it up from Lloyd.
    • recently had the top end re-done with all high end parts and reusable racing gaskets
  • all new light plastic and trim
  • white soft-top
  • white bikini top (not shown in pictures
  • door inserts (not shown in pictures) painted to match
  • 3.5" Wild Horses Suspension Lift
  • new chrome bumpers
    • front bumper is starting to loose some chrome plating
  • wired for in dash-stereo (unfortunately there is not one currently installed)
  • 6x9 marine grade speakers in Tuffy speaker boxes
  • Tuffy lock  box/tool box behind back seat (not shown in photos)
  • Duff brand floor shifter for factory 3-spd transmission
  • brushed aluminum trim for door panels, dash, shifters, etc.
  • Duff brand "twin-stick" shifter for 4x4 (makes life easy)
  • Front disk brakes
  • power stearing
  • Warn locking hubs
  • tachometer
  • and so much more..... too much to list

 

Comments:

The paint job is incredible.  There is a very small amount of rust at the bottom of the driver door.  This rust accumulated when I had the doors in storage (I had the door inserts installed at the time).  It has not been repaired but is completely unnoticeable unless you know where to look.  I have included a picture of this.

There is a very small dent in the hood.  I included a picture.  This small dent happened when a mechanic left something on the wheel well and closed the hood.  the dent sticks upwards.  It is an easy-cheap repair.

This Bronco has tons of power and looks awesome!  Whoever gets this will have a very nice Bronco that turn heads constantly!

The rims are starting to develop some rust inside the dish of the chrome rim.

The tires are worn.  Buyer will need to equip with new tires. 

Lastly, the speedometer has recently stopped working.  all other gages work in the cluster (fuel, temp, oil pressure, alt charge)

 

Thank you for looking and goo luck!

Ford reveals EcoBoost-powered Riley prototype for Daytona 24

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

It's not the first time Ford has participated in the Daytona Prototype class as an engine supplier, but in revealing this new EcoBoost V6-powered Riley Technologies prototype for the new United SportsCar Championship, Ford is making a statement: "We want to show Ford EcoBoost's capabilities as an engine that provides both performance and fuel economy, on and off the track," says Jamie Allison, director of Ford Racing.
In addition to supplying the 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6, Ford had its production designer Garen Nicoghosian give the racecar brand-inspired design cues with support from Ford Racing chief aerodynamicist Bernie Marcus.
The car is scheduled to compete at next year's Rolex 24 at Daytona on January 25-26, but before that, Michael Shank Racing is working with Ford at another goal. Driving his Ford Thunderbird, NASCAR champion Bill Elliott set the track's top speed record at 210.364 miles per hour during a qualifying run for the Daytona 500 - way back in 1987 -- and Ford thinks it's about time for that record to fall. What better time the introduction of this new Ford-powered Daytona Prototype? Michael Shank Racing plans to use the twin-turbo V6-powered racer to beat Elliott's record, and it expects to begin prepping for the top-speed run on October 9. Scroll down for the full press release below on Ford's latest race effort.

Ford to announce Mulally retirement, Fields CEO as early as May 1

Mon, 21 Apr 2014

Ford CEO Alan Mulally may be about to announce his long-rumored retirement from the Blue Oval, according to a pair of insiders who spoke to Bloomberg. An official statement on the succession could arrive as soon as May 1. Chief Operating Officer Mark Fields is rumored to step up as the new CEO. The company is said to be readying the announcement soon to ensure an orderly transition of power, according to the insiders.
Mulally's retirement from Ford has been a hot topic for a while. He was seriously rumored last year to be leaving the automaker to take over as the CEO of Microsoft. The board even said at one point that it was okay with them if he stepped down early. However, the CEO maintained he would stay with the business through at least the end of 2014. Fields has been rumored as a frontrunner to take over the top spot at the company since he was promoted to COO.
For the moment, Ford isn't officially confirming any of these plans. "We don't comment on speculation. We do have succession plans in place for our key leadership. We take succession planning very seriously," said Susan Krusel, Ford Global News Manager, to Autoblog.

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.
