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!

Ford Q1 profits dragged down by warranty costs

Fri, 25 Apr 2014

General Motors isn't the only Detroit automaker posting falling profits in the first quarter. Ford just released its Q1 2014 financial data, and it reported a net income of $989 million, down $622 million from Q1 2013. The drop is partially blamed on higher warranty and recall expenses than the company had anticipated.
Financially, Ford suffered a rough quarter almost across the board. Its pre-tax profit of $1.4 billion was also down $765 million from a year ago. Things were even worse in the North American market where operating profit fell significantly to $1.5 billion, down from $2.392 billion in Q1 2013. However, its global revenue ticked up slightly to $35.9 billion, from $35.6 billion in this period in 2013.
Ford admitted that it spent about $900 million on expenses that it hadn't planned for during this quarter. According to Reuters, the company paid about $400 million in additional warranty and recall costs in North America. The automaker didn't explain why the costs were so much higher than expected. However, in the last three months, Ford has had several recalls, including on the 2001-2004 Escape for rust, Explorer for its steering, Edge for its fuel line and others.

They address a couple interesting news topics, including an upcoming Ford pickup that's smaller than the Ranger, as well as a future electrified Dodge Challenger. They also opine about the new Honda Urban EV prototype that's scheduled to debut at the Geneva Motor Show. Then they talk about the cars they've been driving, including the new Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid, Volvo V60 and Audi A6. Finally, they take a question from Autoblog's recent Reddit AMA to help spend a Redditor's money.

MyFord Touch getting buttons and knobs back to counter criticisms

Mon, 17 Jun 2013

Ford deserves credit for being a front-runner in offering advanced infotainment technology with its Sync and MyFord Touch systems, but continued consumer complaints over its confusing touchscreen interface and capacitive controls has made the automaker relent. The Wall Street Journal reports that physical buttons and knobs for controlling tuning and volume will be coming back to Ford vehicles equipped with the controversial infotainment system.
The 2013 F-150 with MyFord Touch gives us a glimpse of what the new layout with buttons and knobs might look like, as Ford says a similar balance of touch screen capability and buttons/knobs are what's being planned for future models. And, while capacitive controls have no fans in the halls of Autoblog, many of Ford's models with MyFord Touch do have a large physical knob for adjusting volume with integrated buttons for tuning and advancing tracks, though most of those are models with the optional upgraded Sony Audio system. Lincoln models with MyLincoln Touch, however, feature only capacitive controls for all stereo and climate functions.
Despite receiving enough complaints to throw buttons and knobs back into the mix (a move that reminds us of BMW's iDrive trajectory, among others), Ford reports that Sync and MyFord Touch have still been sold on 79 percent of its 2013 model year vehicles, a number it claims is double the rate that Honda and Toyota are getting for their infotainment systems. Ford also states that owners who do opt for the duo of technologies are more satisfied with overall vehicle quality than those who don't have it.
