Up for auction is a 1975 Ford Bronco with a 351W and C4 automatic transmission. I purchased the Bronco back in 06' from a guy that started a frame off restoration but did not complete it. I have decided to sell it because I have not done much with it in the past couple years and it really needs to be shown and driven. Over the last 6 to 7 years I have thrown a ton of money at it and added many new parts inside and out. I purchased the 351W motor from Ford Racing and it only has a few hundred miles. It is a pretty mild motor and runs great! I had the C4 transmission rebuilt just prior to adding the new motor.

The only part of the Bronco that I would say is lacking is the paint. It is shiny and looks great from about 10 feet but when you get close you can see that it is not a high quality job. Everything was primered in orange prior to the green paint. My intentions were to repaint it which would really finish it off, but it is not necessary. There are miscellaneous scatches and chips but nothing major. The only rust appears to be some bubbling in the rear quarter on the driver's side. Both rear quarters have some cracks where the tires used to hit prior to when I trimmed them a bit. The underside of the Bronco is very clean and looks like the floors had been redone and coated by the prior owner. The wheels wells, underside, hood, tailgate, doors, etc. all look great!

The interior looks new and was completely sprayed with SEM bedliner. I added new Bestop jeep seats with brackets, seats belts, tuffy lock box, steering wheel, and Sony cd/stereo with high watt marine type speakers on the roll bar. There is a small crack in the dash pad as seen in the pictures.

I have 3 tops for the Bronco including the STC soft top which is in great shape, the hardtop, and an unused bikini top. The hardtop has a cardboard type headliner which is coming off, but it really should be removed anyway. The hardtop is in solid shape with good glass. There is some bubbling that is starting to form in the front outside corners, but it still looks great.

The horn and emergency brake do not work properly and the gas gauge doesn't seem to register quite at the full mark when filled up. Other than that, everything else seems to be in working order.

 

Here is a list of new parts from what I can remember:

Ford Racing 351W (M6007S58)

Rebuilt C4 with oil cooler added

Edelbrock 600 cfm 1406 Carb

Front Disc brake kit with proportioning valve, brake lines, and Tom's Bronco Parts  Power Brake Booster

BC Boncos 3 core radiator and brackets

Tom's Bronco Parts powder coated radiator shroud

BC Broncos 17" fixed fan and spacer

Pro Flow chrome long tube headers

Y pipe and magnaflow muffler

Wildhorses fuel tank, sending unit, and filler hose

Bestop front and rear folding seat

SEM bedliner

Arm rests

door handles

starter

battery

3" Body lift

sound damping material

gas hood springs

grant steering wheel

Tuffy storage console

Mickey Thompson Classic 2 Wheels with BF Goodrich Tires

STC Soft top and bikini top

Twin stick shifter

I am sure there are a bunch of other parts but that is what I could remember.

 

I highly encourage you to come take a look at it before bidding as everyone seems to have a different opinion when it comes to overall condition (I would think I am pickier than most). I have a clear VA title and the car is located in Cincinnati, OH. I also have the Bronco listed locally and reserve the right to end the auction early due to a local sale.  I can be reached at 858-232-0757 if you have any questions.

 

A 500 Dollar non refundable deposit is due within 24 hours of the sale. Completion and payment in Cash or Certified Funds is expected within 10 days of purchase. The vehicle is being sold as is, without a warranty.

Thanks for looking!

Ford to add Android Auto and CarPlay to 2016 SYNC 3 cars via update

Fri, May 19 2017

Ford is updating a large number of 2016 model year cars equipped with SYNC 3 infotainment software, adding Android Auto and CarPlay to the vehicles with a free, over-the-air update via Wi-Fi, or using either USB or going through their dealer. The upgrade will be available for around 800,000 vehicles in total, giving a huge number of Ford car owners the chance to get big infotainment improvements without having to buy a newer model car. The OTA update option is also a big step for Ford – it's the company's first for software ever, and it's one of the major reasons that Ford recently hired around 400 new mobile smartphone engineers, the company tells me. For CarPlay, users will still also need to upgrade their vehicle's USB hub to make this work (which will also incur a dealer visit and a cost), but for those on Android, all that's required is a simple software installation. The USB install method is also faster, but the Wi-Fi update option is the start of the company's efforts to really increase its OTA update program, which will be used for security improvements as well as infotainment bumps. Even with a dealer visit and hardware upgrade for CarPlay, this sounds like a worthwhile thing for 2016 vehicle owners to do. CarPlay and Android Auto are huge upgrades vs. most in-car software, offering navigation and entertainment options that follow you from your phone to your car. Retroactively offering this kind of thing to car owners is a definite change in tone for carmakers, since they typically use these kinds of things as incentives to get people interested in vehicle model updates. But as data becomes increasingly important to automakers as a business, it makes sense to encourage greater in-car use of devices.Written by Darrell Etherington for TechCrunchRelated Video: Auto News Ford Lincoln Technology Infotainment android

How the Ram Multifunction Tailgate compares to Ford, GMC, Honda

Wed, Feb 6 2019

Ram just announced its Multifunction Tailgate — a descriptive if not very creative name. It's an asymmetrical barn-door arrangement, which can both fold down like a conventional tailgate or swing open like a gate. There's a new bed step, but unlike Ford or GM, the step isn't part of the tailgate itself. Rather, it kicks out from under the bumper (as opposed to out from under the driver's side of the rear bumper in its previous incarnation). So let's just focus on the tailgate functionality. A video of the Ram Multifunction Tailgate in action is above. For one, either of the swinging tailgate sections can be opened independently. They open to a full 88 degrees. In conventional flip-down mode, the tailgate works just like a normal one, too, with a 2,000-pound rating. The bottom line is that while it gives a variety of types of access to the load area, it doesn't "do" anything else. It's a $995 option on any Ram 1500. Its closest analogue is the Honda Ridgeline, which works basically the same way, but on that truck the tailgate swings as one piece. And the Honda's load rating isn't as hefty as the Ram's tailgate: 300 pounds. As Honda says, that's sufficient to hold the weight of the part of an ATV hanging out of the bed, or something similar, but it's a lighter-duty unit (and a lighter-duty truck) than the Ram's overall. Let's also get Ford's one-trick tailgate out of the way before comparing to the more analogous, and complicated, GM MultiPro. A bit of trivia: Ford's optional Tailgate Step is actually designed and supplied by Multimatic, better known as the outfit that builds the Ford GT and produces the DSSV spool-valve shocks. This step has been available for years. It pulls out of the top edge of the tailgate when the tailgate is lowered, deploying a single step. A separate handle pulls out from beside the step and flips up, giving a handhold. While it was initially (and infamously) mocked by competitors, with load floor heights as high as they are it's better than toting around a stepstool. It's currently a $375 standalone option. Now we get to the GMC MultiPro tailgate, the most complicated and multi-functioned around. It's essentially a tailgate within a tailgate, with a fold-out stopper that deploys from the inner tailgate. This gives it several functions depending on the position of all the parts. It can still be used like a normal tailgate, dropping down at the push of a button or using the key fob.

Autocar pits Formula Ford against Germany's finest

Wed, 25 Sep 2013

Ford has quite the racing pedigree, but usually, its racers are relegated to the track. Not the new Formula Ford EcoBoost, though. It's a turbocharged, open-wheeled racer complete with a 200-horsepower, 1.0-liter, three-cylinder engine... and it's legal on the roads of the UK.
That's stressed in this video from Autocar, with the mag going so far as to show the car's tax disc and license plates. Being a road-legal offering, it's tempting to see just how well an open-wheeler that delivers racecar-like performance while also netting over 100 miles per gallon (assume this is on the British cycle, for obvious reasons) stacks up against modern performance cars.
Autocar lined up the Formula Ford against an Audi R8 V10, a BMW M6 Gran Coupe and a Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG in a number of situations to see which would come out on top. Take a look below for the full video.
