HERE WE GO WITH YET ANOTHER GREAT LITTLE 1976 BRONK. WE DID A YOU TUBE MOVIE TITLED  76 BRONCO EM2"BIG BLUE" THIS ONE WAS OWNED BY THE SAME FASTIDIOUS OWNER FOR OVER 22 YEARS. GARAGE KEPT MOST OF IT'S EXISTENCE. THERE ARE NO RUSTED PANELS ON THIS BRONCO....PERIOD! WE HAVE NEVER SEEN A BODY THIS RUST FREE ON AN EARLY FORD BRONCO. EVEN THE INNER FENDERS ARE SPORTING ORIGINAL FACTORY PAINT!!. WOW. WE HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT BRONKS FOR THE LAST 12 YEARS AND HAVE YET TO FIND AN UNRESTORED BRONCO THIS RUST FREE AND MECHANICALLY SOUND. WE HAVE THE RECEIPTS FOR THE NEW LONG BLOCK THAT HAS AROUND 2800 MILES ON IT SINCE INSTALLATION. THE TRANS IS PERFECT AND THE TRANSFER CASE AND DIFFERENTIALS ARE NOISELESS IN 2 OR 4 WHEEL DRIVE. THE ENTIRE BRONCO OPERATES AS FORD INTENDED KEEPING IN MIND TECHNOLOGY FROM 1976. LOL
                              THE NEW MOTOR(LONG BLOCK) WAS FITTED WITH AN EDELBROCK 1406 4 BARREL, ALUMINUM DUAL PLANE HIGH RISE INTAKE, HEADERS, DURASPARK IGNITION, NEW WATER PUMP, BELTS, N HOSES. THE RADIATOR IS FLUSHED AND GOOD TO -50. THE BRONCO RUNS DOWN THE ROAD AT 180 DEGREES AND 65 LBS OIL PRESSURE. THERE ARE ZERO LEAKS ON THE SHOP FLOOR! THE BRAKES ARE NEW 11" REAR DRUM AND IN 1976 THEY USED THE BIG DANA 44 AND  FORD TRUCK DISC BRAKES. THE BRONK STOPS RIGHT NOW! THE STEERING IS THE QUICKER RATIO FORD IN 1976. BOTH FUEL TANKS WORK AS DESIGNED AND THE FUEL GAUGE WORKS. EVERYHTHING IS FULLY FUNCTIONAL ELECTRICALLY EXCEPT THE BACKUP LIGHTS. THEY DO NOT HAVE A SWITCH ON THE 4 SPEED AND THE LINKAGE IS INTEGRAL. THE REST IS EXCEPTIONAL. THIS BRONCO STARTS IMMEDIATELY, RUNS VERY WELL, HAS A NEW CENTERFORCE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY AND NEEDS NOTHING!! THE EXHAUST IS DUAL FLOWMASTER WITH TWIN CATS AND CROSSOVER. IT SOUNDS AMAZING. IF I WERE TO KEEP A BRONK FOR MYSELF THIS WOULD PROBABLY BE THE ONE.  AFTER I GET A FEW MORE MUSCLE CARS OUT OF THE CORRAL I WILL BREAK A BRONK FOR MYSELF. IT'S GONNA BE WILD FOLKS!

THE INTERIOR IS FULLY RHINO LINED OVER EXCEPTIONAL FACTORY RUST FREE FLOOR PANS. THE DASH PAD IS A 67 STRAIGHT PAD VS. A STOCK 76 THAT WOULD HAVE A PORTION JUTTING OUT INTO THE PASSENGER AREA. I LIKE THE STRAIGHT ONE BETTER.
THERE ARE A GAZILLION GOOD THINGS ABOUT THIS BRONK AND A FEW BAD THINGS.WHEN WE TOOK THE ORIGINAL DOOR PANELS OFF, WE LUBRICATED THE GLASS REGULATORS AND WERE ASTONISHED THAT THE WINDOW HAD NEVER BEEN WORKED ON AND IS AS SMOOTH AS BUTTER. EVEN THE FACTORY SOUND PROOFING PAPER WAS INTACT. I CAN FIND NONE BETTER THAN THIS REGARDLESS IF THEY ARE RESTORED OR NOT.

FOR THE BAD:  BIG BLUE IS NOT A SHOW RIG YET, IT NEEDS A PAINT JOB AND SOME VERY MINOR BODY WORK ON THE PASSENGER REAR QUARTER NEAR THE MARKER LIGHT. IT DOES NOT NEED ANY RUST REPAIR ,PERIOD!!  THE PAINT IS 23 + YEARS OLD.IT ALSO HAS NO BACKUP LIGHT SWITCH. THE TIRES ARE NOT NEW BUT HAVE TONS OF TREAD YET AND SHOW NO CRACKING ON THE SIDEWALLS SO THEY ARE KEEPERS FOR NOW. THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL 3/8" ANTENNA HOLE ON THE TOP OF THE PASSENGER FENDER WHERE AN ANTENNA WAS AT ONE TIME AND A GROUP OF THREE PLUGGED HOLES(APPRENTICE PLUGS) AT THE REAR QUARTER EXTENSIONS WHERE A DIFFERENT RACK WAS INSTALLED YEARS AGO. ALL IN ALL A SUPER START ON A 40 K BRONK THAT I WOULD NOT HESITATE TO DRIVE TO NY AND BACK IN ANY SEASON....JUST ADD PAINT! A NEW  BLACK BEST TOP SOFT TOP CAN BE INSTALLED IN LIEU OF THE HARDTOP AT NO ADDITIONAL COST TO BUYER AND WE KEEP THE HARD TOP.IF THE BUYER WANTS BOTH TOPS ADD $750.00..

Question of the Day: Most degraded car name?

Fri, May 27 2016

When Ford came up with a not-so-sporty version of the Pinto and slapped Mustang badges on it in 1974, that was a low point for the Mustang name. When Chrysler applied the venerable Town & Country name on perfectly functional but unglamorous minivans, it saddened many of us. But perhaps the biggest demotion for a once-proud model came when, in 1988, General Motors imported a misery-enhancing Daewoo from Korea and called it the Pontiac LeMans. The original Pontiac LeMans was a great-looking midsize car with fairly advanced (for the time) suspension design and engine options including potent V8s and a screaming overhead-cam straight-six. The Daewoo-based Pontiac LeMans was a cramped, shoddy hooptie that served only to ruin the LeMans name forever, while stealing sales from the Suzuki-based Chevrolet Sprint. Sure, using the once-respected Monterey name on the Mercurized Ford Freestar was bad, but Mercury didn't have long to live at that point. I say the downward spiral of the LeMans name was the most agonizing in automotive history. What do you think? Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

NHTSA opens investigation into Ford Explorer PI brakes

Wed, 27 Aug 2014

This year more than most, it's pleasant when we can string together a few days without word of an automaker or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announcing a bunch of new recalls. It's seemingly been a little quiet on this front lately (barring a spider-related Suzuki issue revealed early today), but now we have word of the government safety agency opening a Preliminary Evaluation into the 2013 Ford Explorer Police Interceptor, a probe that could potentially affect an estimated 20,000 vehicles.
The issue being investigated concerns failures of the front brake hose on the vehicle that show "small splits in the hoses near the body side ferrule of the hose assembly," according to the agency, and the issue could result in longer stopping distances. The feds have reports of 13 malfunctions affecting 11 Explorer units. However, it's important to note that all of the incidents come from a single, unnamed metropolitan police fleet that operates 46 of them. According to The Detroit News, the failures generally took place between December and July.
NHTSA is investigating further to find if this is a more widespread issue than just this one fleet. Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker confirmed to us, "We are cooperating with NHTSA on this investigation, as we always do." Scroll down to read the agency's report.

2018 Ford Expedition vs other big SUVs: How it compares on paper

Fri, Nov 10 2017

With our Alex Kierstein rightly impressed in his first-drive review of the new 2018 Ford Expedition, we decided to dig a little deeper into the numbers, and we came up with the spreadsheet below to highlight how the new 2018 Expedition compares on paper to its main full-size SUV competitors: the 2018 Chevy Tahoe and Suburban (and therefore the 2018 GMC Yukon), 2018 Toyota Sequoia and 2018 Nissan Armada. We also threw in the new, even bigger 2018 Chevrolet Traverse since, as you'll see, its massive dimensions should put it on the radar for anyone who needs loads of passenger and cargo space but doesn't care as much about towing. A few notes about the chart above. First, the 6.2-liter V8 that's included with the new-for-2018 Tahoe RST trim level is the standard engine on the GMC Yukon Denali. You can apply most of the Tahoe's numbers to the entire Yukon and Yukon XL lineup. Second, though we highlighted categories where the Traverse led, we also highlighted the runner-up full-size SUV, since this was ultimately about that segment. Traverse numbers are broadly applicable to the new Buick Enclave.
