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.
Thanks for looking!

Ford sued over alleged 3.5-liter EcoBoost defects
Thu, 16 May 2013Three Ford owners from Ohio have filed a lawsuit against the automaker over defects that they allege exist within the company's twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine. Automotive News reports that the lawsuit claims the engine "contained serious latent design, manufacturing, or assembly defects." Those defects, the suit claims, cause the vehicle to shake, misfire and lose power quickly.
Two of the plaintiffs, a married couple, own a 2010 Ford Taurus SHO, and allege they experienced a loss of power and stalling, while the third, an F-150 owner, claims he lost power while accelerating. In addition to the Taurus SHO and F-150, the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine is also available in the Ford Flex, Explorer Sport and Lincoln MKT and MKS. Other three- and four-cylinder EcoBoost engines are not included in the suit. There have been no recalls associated with 3.5-liter V6 engine, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is currently not investigating the matter.
The plaintiffs, however, claim Ford has known about the problem, citing several technical service bulletins issued to dealers of the F-150 that suggest possible fixes. Ford had no comment for Automotive News, saying that it's yet to review the lawsuit, which was filed last Friday in Columbus, OH.
Texan finds creative way to clear highway fast lane
Tue, Jun 14 2016Few things are as infuriating as someone driving slow in the fast lane. A Jeep driver from Texas found himself in just such a predicament near Fort Worth, and came up with a creative way to urge the offending lane-blocker to get a move on. Machine, a YouTuber and off-road enthusiast from the Lone Star State, posted some dashcam footage to his account back in March which showed him stuck behind a slow driver. He was attempting to pass a slow-moving bobtail Peterbilt tractor when he got hung up by a white Ford Econoline squatting in the passing lane. On his YouTube page, Machine stated that the van, which apparently belonged to a plumbing company, was traveling along between 60 and 70 miles per hour along a stretch of highway with a stated speed limit of 70 mph. Confronted with the slow-moving van blocking the left lane, and traffic in the right lane, Machine called the number on the back of the Econoline and politely asked him to get out of the way. In the Econoline, the passenger picked up and was momentarily confused as Machine asked him to ask his driver to move out of the lane and let traffic pass. The van sped up, passed a tractor-trailer, and got out of the way, much to the relief of the traffic behind him. According to CBS news, 38 states have laws on the books to punish slow drivers squatting in the passing lane. In five of those states, the fine is upwards of $1000, and 22 states classify it as a misdemeanor.

We spy the Ford Mustang King Cobra early at SEMA
Tue, 04 Nov 2014As is the case with most auto shows, waiting for the reveal of hot new models is the worst part. So, while our own Drew Phillips has been wandering the halls here in Las Vegas since they unlocked the doors for SEMA 2014, we didn't expect him to come back with any big reveals until later in the day. Until this happened.
Meandering by the Ford stand, Phillips eagle-eyed a trunk lid that caught his attention. Popping out from an otherwise draped 2015 Mustang, the matte black lid clearly has the name King Cobra embossed on the rear.
That name is interesting for a few reasons: to start, Ford hasn't used the Cobra name (without "Jet" attached) since way back in 2004, so a new snake is certainly something to take note of. Second, the King Cobra name dates all the way back to the ill-remembered Mustang II, meaning there is a clear link to Blue Oval history here.
