Up for grabs is this 1974 Ford Bronco!  This Bronco is super clean and features the 302 V8 (believed to be original) mated to a three speed manual transmission (on the tree), great Goodyear Wrangler tires, and more!  This Bronco is in very good shape and was recently featured in a music video with "Nashville" TV star Connie Britton!   Please feel free to ask any questions, either through eBay directly or alternatively, my cell phone is 615-300-6004. 

Mechanically, the Bronco starts up easily, and a I have had the vehicle tuned-up, to include a fresh oil change, new plugs/wires/filters/fuel filter, and even a compression test (all cylinders were the 170 psi range).  There do appear to be aftermarket headers and a new exhaust present, and the Bronco drives well at highway speeds.  The three speed manual transmission shifts well, and I recently had a new shift collar installed.  Dual fuel tanks are both operational.

The body has been repainted at some point, paint is good/shiny but does have some nicks/chips; there is some slight peeling of the clear coat.  Overall, there is very little surface rust present (almost zero on the body), the only significant portion is on the passenger side cowl (under the hood), please contact me directly for additional pictures. 

Plenty of tread on the four Goodyear tires on the ground, the spare is not matching. 

Interior is very clean and features carpet all around, houndstooth side panels, a dash pad with NO cracks, an AM radio, and even the owner's manual!  Gauges do function, as does the horn.  Seat belts are present for both front seats, rear seat is present but does not have seat belts.  The roll bar is in place and does have padding.  Top is removable. 

Please check with your spouse/child/religious leader/pet/whomever BEFORE bidding, and please only bid if you have sufficient funds.  The reserve is set very low for a Bronco in this shape, if you want to spend $40,000, look at all of the other vehicles on eBay.  However, if you want a solid cruiser that starts easily, looks good, and will impress your friends, this is the Bronco for you.  I would be happy to provide the name and contact info of the mechanic who worked on this Bronco to any serious and qualified bidder, after we speak first.   

We ship vehicles frequently, and for less than you think, please send me your zip code for an estimate on shipping.

We take the following forms of payment: Personal check, Cashier's check, Wire Transfer (small fee applies), cash, and credit/debit cards (3% swipe fee applies).  Title will be released only after all funds clear.  All sales will have a a $199 doc fee and a small city tax added.  I only collect sales tax for Tennessee residents.  

Please ask any and all questions BEFORE the end of the auction, my cell phone is 615-300-6004.  

Thanks!

Bill Ford op-ed argues we can't just build and sell more of the same cars

Thu, 10 Jul 2014

It's hardly a secret that the auto industry is undergoing an enormous, tectonic shift in the way it thinks, builds cars and does business. Between alternative forms of energy, a renewed focus on low curb weights and aerodynamic bodies, the advent of driverless and autonomous cars and the need to reduce the our impact on the environment, it's very likely that the car that's built 10 years down the line will be scarcely recognizable when parked next to the car from 10 years ago.
Few people are as able to explain the industry's many upcoming changes and challenges as clearly as William Clay Ford, Jr., better known as Bill Ford. The 57-year-old currently sits as the executive chairman of the company his great-grandfather, Henry Ford, founded over 110 years ago.
In an op-ed piece in The Wall Street Journal (subscription required), Ford explains that the role of automakers is, necessarily, going to change to suit the needs of the future world. That means changing the view of not just the automobile, but the automaker. As Ford explains it, automakers will "move from being just car and truck manufacturers to become personal-mobility companies."

Ford Focus 1.0-liter Ecoboost to only get manual trans in US

Sun, 23 Feb 2014

Photos of the 2015 Ford Focus leaked earlier today, but now we're able to tell you more details of the global five-door hatchback. Bucking automaker's troubling trend of ditching manual transmissions in favor of automatics, Ford says the new 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine will come only in a six-speed manual in the US, because, well, American drivers aren't as sophisticated as our European brothers and sisters.
Ford didn't come out and say it that way, but it has found American drivers are more prone to complain about automatics in smaller-engine cars, Raj Nair, Ford's group vice president of global product development, said at a press conference last week. The recent JD Power Vehicle Dependability Study backs up Ford's claims, pointing out that drivers are complaining about rough transmission shifts, engine hesitation and lack of power, particularly in small cars. In Europe and other parts of the world, drivers seem to understand the quirks of these pint-sized engines, Nair said, so they'll have the option to buy an automatic. Ford is working on tuning its dual-clutch transmissions to make them more amenable to American driver's tastes.
Ford will show off the refreshed 2015 Focus at the Geneva Motor Show in early March. The car is due for an update, having been on sale in its current form since 2012. The automaker said it is jamming the car full of new technology - like a USB port that promises to charge your phone in half the time as a regular USB port. Features like Sync and a rear back-up camera will come standard. For a more in-depth look at the car, take a look at the full press release.

Toyota, Ford decide to end hybrid collaboration before it starts

Tue, 23 Jul 2013

Not all so-called Memorandum of Understanding pacts end in actual collaborations. For instance, after a two-year "feasibility study," Toyota and Ford have just announced that they will not be developing hybrid systems for use in light trucks and SUVs as previously planned, and the two automakers will instead continue to develop their own hybrid technology independently.
The would-be collaboration was first announced in August of 2011, and would have seen a rear-wheel-drive hybrid platform that would "improve the efficiency of trucks and SUVs while still allowing them to be driven in the way customers expect," according to our initial post on the topic.
Keep in mind that this announcement isn't to say we shouldn't expect hybrid pickups and SUVs from the two automakers, but that they probably aren't coming very soon - Ford says it will have a system "before the end of this decade" and we haven't heard much from Toyota on the hybrid truck front since the 2008 A-BAT Concept (pictured above) - and that they will not share any components between them (and they never have, for what it's worth).
