Well, after 6 years of fun and upgrades I have to let the Bronco go (too many vehicles + a bad back that took a year to recover from the last 3 day trail run). Here's a list of what's in it:


1974 Bronco Sport - Very capable off road & very comfortable on road, I built this truck as a daily driver that could take you anywhere, from the beach, to the mountains, to the boulevard, and even to work. One of the best mannered Early Broncos that you will find. Always starts! I have left it sitting for 4 months with the battery connected and, 1st try, zoom.

CANVAS FOLDING "RAGTOP" sunroof 4' wide x 5' long. Better than convertible because you can lock the car. Plus, there is less wind backlash and you can actually talk with passengers while on the highway. Takes about 3 minutes to open or close and is fairly watertight (will drip a little at front passenger corner during hard rains).

351 Windsor (stock block), Edelbrock intake, 2bbl throttle body injection (Chevy system), long tube headers w/titanium wrap (very quiet). 4 core - 3 pass radiator & 6 blade race fan. Saginaw steering pump w/remote reservoir and in-line cooler.

AOD trans w/4R70 wide range gear set + Lentech Street Eliminator valve body w/ elect. OD cutoff. Dana 20 Twin Stick w/TeraLo 3.15:1 low range

Wild Horses 3" spring lift (soft, progressive rate springs) + 1" body lift. REAR axle - 9" w/ARB locker, 4.10:1 gears, drum brakes, elect. remote disconnect sway bar. FRONT axle - Dana 44 w/Trutrak posi, chromoly axles, 76 Ford disc brakes. 33" x 12.5" Goodrich Mud Terrain Radials on '90 Bronco steel wheels, 95 percent tread. 

THE WHEELS IN PHOTOS ARE INCORRECT - go to Flickr link below to view the actual wheels and tires (on the Jeep Truck at bottom of list) - THOSE wheels/tires are included with Bronco and have a much nicer stance.

Wild Horses 24 gallon fuel tank (no reserve tank). 

Older Vintage Air A/C system w/new remote R134 condenser (to be installed). 

Stock interior, Rhinoliner floor coating, 6 point roll cage, White face gauge panel, intermittent wiper switch, Tom's Bronco center console w/radio insert & cup holders, aluminum overhead console (covers wiper motor). Rebuilt driver's door - latch, handle, window channels, vent window pivot, rubber, and latch (have parts to finish passenger door w/same). BC Broncos 1/4" rock ski on passenger side rocker (have driver's side to be installed). This truck is tight and has no rattles.

Plus, many other parts to install: Hi-Lift jack w/sand platform, tow strap, tire hooks, etc. Tuff Stuff 12,500 lb. winch (not the best but you won't need it very often), mounting plate & 2x4 tubing to build custom mount using stock bumper blade. Steering box brace (wraps around frame), 1 qt. fuel accumulator/filter, extra MSD distributors, flex fan to reduce fan noise on highway, oil/trans temp, vacuum, amp gauges, and Cobra CB radio (no aerial). 

THE BAD?

Paint is not perfect but looks very good from 10', always get compliments on the truck. NO ROT but it came from Texas and the driver's floorboard had some pinholes and has been patched cleanly. Small panel buckling at bottom of driver's door (about 2" long). Driver's door needs alignment (closes tight but sticks out 1/8"). 

THINGS TO BE FINISHED

Install remote A/C condenser - Has electric fan and shroud, to be mounted under passenger floorboard (between rocker and frame rail) to keep heat out of engine compartment.

Passenger door - Install new window channels, vent wing pivot and seals, new door handle, latch and striker plate.

1/4" Rocker panel cover - on Driver's side.


SHIPPING - Is the responsibility of the buyer. I will work with any shipping company to ensure safe delivery. Most transport companies will not accept loose items in vehicles so the winch and other items will probably ship separately (and they are heavy), extra shipping fees will probably be necessary.

Almost $30k in receipts. Asking $18,500 - Email any questions. 45 pictures posted on Flickr at

Ford will probably never offer two RS models at the same time

Mon, 18 Mar 2013

Autocar has some sour news for fans of go-fast Ford products. According to Roelant de Waard, Ford's president of marketing in Europe, the automaker will probably never offer more than one RS performance model for sale at the same time. That statement runs contrary earlier rumblings that suggested Ford would launch its next-generation Focus RS in 2015 and follow the hatch with a spate of other vehicles with an RS badge. But de Waard has made it clear that Ford of Europe is now focused on squarely on the next Mustang, even though there may be more RS models on the way eventually.
"What is clear is that the RS shouldn't be a series, or a car badge that we have in our portfolio all the time. It is an extreme car - something more than ST," he said.
That philosophy makes plenty of sense. We loved the old Focus RS - shown above in RS500 trim - because it was generally bonkers and plenty exclusive. Diluting either aspect is sure to end in disappointment for everyone involved.

Ford drops Focus RS teaser ahead of Feb 3 reveal

Wed, Jan 21 2015

Ford is trying to get us hyped for the unveiling of the latest Focus RS on February 3 with this new video teaser. The clip showcases the hot hatch doing some big slides in the wet and dry during testing in Europe and the US, and it definitely makes us even more curious about what the Blue Oval has in store with the RS. Even in this short teaser, Ford continues to dress the more aggressive nose of the Focus RS in camouflage, like the previous test cars. Unfortunately, what's going on under all of that concealment remains a bit of a mystery. Rumors suggest the RS likely uses a tuned version of the Blue Oval's 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder estimated to make between 325 and 350 horsepower. A speculated torque-vectoring all-wheel-drive system should keep fears of torque steer at bay, and larger brakes on the test mules indicate that bringing it all to a halt shouldn't be a problem, either. We do know that the hotter Focus will be among the "more than 12" vehicles that the new Ford Performance division will develop through 2020, and the RS will come to the US for the first time. However, US-spec RS models will likely be imported from Europe, which will keep numbers here low and will mean prices estimated to be around $30,000 or more. Until the official specs become available, at least enjoy watching this hot hatch's ability to slide.

2015 Ford Mustang will tell authorities how you crashed and if you were belted [w/video]

Sat, 28 Jun 2014

When the 2015 Ford Mustang hits dealers, it will be with a new batch of features that will power up Sync's 911 Assist feature, and provide an even greater degree of information to first responders in the event of an accident.
911 Assist will already make a phone call, via a Bluetooth-connected phone, should you bin your car. The automatic message to first responders is a pre-recorded blurb from Ford. With the new enhancements, though, emergency personnel can learn about the maximum change in velocity and whether the crash involved a front, rear, side or a rollover impact. 911 Assist will also send information about how many seat belts were in use and if airbags deployed, allowing more accurate dispatch of resources.
"Sync will only broadcast relevant information to save time, and it constructs a very efficient message for the operator," said David Hatton, the global project leader with Ford Connected Services. "After the introductory message, the voice line opens automatically and occupants can speak directly with the operator via Sync's hands-free functionality."
