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

2015 Ford Mustang specs revealed, GT to pack 435 HP

Thu, 17 Jul 2014

The 2015 Ford Mustang sounds great so far - at least on paper. Ford has just announced specs for the latest version of the iconic pony car in Dearborn, telling Autoblog that it will pump out as much as 435 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque from its 5.0-liter V8.
Those gaudy figures power the naturally aspirated GT model, and they easily eclipse the "more than" 420 hp and 390 lb-ft that Ford originally estimated.
The 2.3-liter turbocharged EcoBoost four-cylinder makes 310 hp and 320 lb-ft, and it's the first turbo Mustang since the 1986 SVO.

Ford hybrids getting update to improve fuel economy

Tue, 16 Jul 2013

Ford has announced that it is introducing "calibration updates designed to improve on-road fuel economy for owners of the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid, 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid and 2013 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid."
We can speculate that these changes are at least due in part to lawsuits over mileage claims of hybrid vehicles. The automaker is enhancing 2013 models starting in August by raising their electric cruising speed to 85 miles per hour from 62 mph, optimizing the use of active grille shutters and the climate control system, shortening the engine warm-up period by 50 percent and reducing electric fan speed to minimize the fan's energy consumption.
It bears mentioning that Ford is doing pretty well in the US electrified vehicle market this year. The company claims to have grown its share in the segment by 12 points to 16 percent while taking a high number of Toyota Prius trade-ins in the process. Conversely, Toyota has experienced a five-percent drop in new-Prius sales over the same period. Additionally, Ford states that it has increased its share of the US vehicle market by one percent this year, more than any full-line automaker.

Ford increasing Super Duty production by 15 percent

Fri, 31 Jan 2014

Ford has announced a hefty $80 million investment in its Kentucky Truck Plant, which is responsible for building the F-250, F-350, F-450 and F-550 versions of the Super Duty pickup. The influx of cash will add 350 jobs to the factory.
The investment is also good for a 15-percent increase in annual production thanks to retooling and other facility upgrades, which equates to an extra 55,000 units of production. Considering that Ford makes even more money off its Super Duty than it does on the hot-selling F-150, this could mean some serious coin to Ford's bottom line.
Hop below for the full press release from Ford on its latest investment.
