I am reluctantly selling my 1974 Ford Bronco. According to Bronco lovers, my is rare and highly sought after. It's has all original 302 ci 2 barrel carb with power steering. Everything is original down to the plug wires. I did change the spark plugs, oil changed, and cleaned the carb because it was running rough. Now it runs like new again, literally. Don't take me for my word, you'll see. I'm selling the Bronco because I moving my family to California and I'm having to sell off some toys.
This is an original 27,800 mile Ford Bronco, and I am the first and only registered owner, with all the documentation to prove what I claim. This Bronco was used as a Lot truck at Bo Bueckman Ford off of Manchester Rd. in St. Louis until the late 80's. It was used to service and jump used and new cars, run parts, and clear the lot of snow in the winter. The service manager there still recalls the Bronco. The Bronco sat for years on their lot, until it was sold to Suburban Auto in 2004, and finally put up for sale to the guy I bought it from. That guy never paid the Mo State taxes on it and therefore did not register it. I paid the State Taxes and got a clear title through Department of Revenue, and learned I'm the first and only registered owner.
GOOD and BAD.
GOOD:
Everything is there, Everything! except for the original seats. Everything works as it should, turn signals, dash lights, speedo, heater, ECT, ECT, ECT..... The tranny is perfect, the suspension is solid, and the four wheel works great and tight, and the steering is easy. It still has the 1970's equipment that Bo Beuckman Fords put in it to jump the cars on the lot. The snow plow works up and down.
BAD:
It sat so long and was probably never washed. The body is rusted and every panel needs attention, but the frame is solid. I took pics of the body, but I'll be the first to say it's rusty.
This truck is amazing and needless to say a barn find. I won't get the chance to restore it, but the person that gets this I hope will. If you need any more pics or have any questions, please email me. I can make a short video if needed to make the deal.

NHTSA closes investigations into Ford Taurus, Hyundai Santa Fe
Wed, 03 Jul 2013Ford and Hyundai are out from under the scrutinizing eyes of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration after the government agency said it was closing investigations against both automakers over vehicle safety concerns.
Ford was being investigated for reported damaged speed control cables on Ford Taurus (shown above) and Mercury Sable models, both built between 2000 and 2003. Vehicles with the company's Duratec engines allegedly failed to allow owners to brake as expected. Owners lodged 100 complaints and were involved in five accidents, according to NHTSA records. The American automaker responded to the reports, and on June 21 of this year, said that it would inspect and repair all affected vehicles, regardless of the mileage.
Hyundai was under investigation for a reported loose fastener on the steering shaft of its 2011 Santa Fe (shown in the gallery below). After NHTSA launched its inquiry, the Korean automaker responded with its own investigation that yielded four affected vehicles. Following the inspection of 680 vehicles at its assembly plant, Hyundai said the issue was due to employee error and that no further defects have been found.
Honda poised for growth, Detroit to hold steady, Car Wars study says
Fri, Jun 5 2015The automotive industry is expected to keep booming in the US over the next several years, but the train might start running out of steam in the long term, according to 2015's Car Wars report from Bank of America Merrill Lynch analyst John Murphy. The forecast focuses on changes between the 2016 and 2019 model years, and the latest trends appear similar in some cases to the past predictions. Sales are expected to keep growing and reach a peak of 20 million in 2018, according to the Detroit Free Press. The expansion is projected to come from a quick pace of vehicle launches, with an average of 48 introductions a year – 26 percent more than in 1996. Crossovers are expected to make up a third of these, maintaining their strong popularity. However, Murphy predicts a decline, as well. By 2025, total sales could fall to around 15 million units. As of May 2015, the seasonally adjusted annual rate for this year stands at 17.71 million. Like last year, Honda is predicted to be a big winner in the future thanks to products like the next-gen Civic. "Honda should be the biggest market share gainer," Murphy said when presenting the report, according to Free Press. Meanwhile, in a situation similar to Car Wars from 2012, a lack of many new vehicles is expected to cause a drop for Hyundai, Kia, and Nissan. Based on this forecast, Ford, General Motors, and FCA US will all generally maintain market share for the coming years. The report does make some future product predictions, though. The next Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra might come in 2019, which is earlier than expected. Also, Lincoln could get a Mustang-based coupe for 2017, a compact sedan for 2018 and an Explorer-based model in 2019, according to the Free Press.

Ford mulling EcoSport for US? [w/poll]
Mon, 03 Jun 2013"We certainly have that ability. We're studying it very, very closely." Those are the words of Jim Farley, global head of sales, marketing, service at Ford. The investigation Farley is referring to is the possibility of selling the company's new EcoSport crossover in America.
The diminutive Fiesta-based EcoSport was developed for emerging markets like Brazil and, more recently, China, but it apparently may have a future in the States, where it would form a new entry-level rung below the Escape in Ford's already robust crossover stable. Ford has big plans for its tiny CUV - Farley tells Automotive News that the EcoSport is only available in 10 countries right now, but by 2017, its distribution will have mushroomed to 62 countries. At the time the second-generation model launched at the 2012 Beijing Motor Show as a 2013 model, Ford said the EcoSport would eventually be sold in nearly 100 markets worldwide.
The Brazilian- and Indian-assembled EcoSport is available with a variety of gasoline-powered engines, but the 1.0-liter, three-cylinder EcoBoost giving 118 horsepower and 125 pound-feet of torque would seem to be the powertrain of choice for America, as it was recently confirmed for the stateside 2014 Fiesta.
