      I am selling my Frame OFF 1976 Ford Bronco and my reserve is less then half its value.  After a full blown 100% frame off restoration,  I bought this Bronco in 2009 with 1000 miles on it.  I have a clear Indiana title to this truck in my name.  I have had this Bronco 5 years and it now has 2900 miles on it.  I only drive it in nice weather.  The previous owner did a 100% nut and bolt frame off restoration on this Bronco and spared no expense.   It took him 2 years to restore this Bronco and he PAID out $46,000 in parts.   I have in my possession every receipt ever spent on this machine.   The receipts are 2 inches thick and I totaled them up and they equal $46,000.  This is just the PAID receipts.  This $46k does not include the 1000's of hours of labor spent on this machine.   I have the restorers name, phone number, and address.  This information will be turned over to the buyer in order to contact him.  Doug, the restorer, meticulously documented the restoration every step of the way through many, many photographs.  Ebay only allows 24 pictures, but if you want more, I have 200 pictures that Doug took during the restoration.
     I also have pictures from when Doug bought this truck from Texas and it was rust free.   Doug starting buying parts from Wild Horses, Tom's bronco, and BC Bronco which are 3 the big suppliers.  We are talking $46,000 in spent receipts.  Everything on this bronco was disassembled down to the bare frame and every single part is either new or refurbished.  From memory I will try to describe what the Doug did.

1.   New Crate 351 motor with new Edelbrock carburetor
2.   New Air Conditioning.
3.   New Stainless Steel Wind shield frame which allows for the wipers to be below. (Bronco wipers are on top)
4.   New 5 Speed Tranny
5.   New Dual Gas Tanks which are controlled by switch
6.   New WARN Differentials which are controlled independently.  In other words, the truck can be front wheel
      drive, rear wheel drive, or 4 wheel drive.  All 3 options can be independently in High or Low gear.
7.   New front Brush Guard
8.   New remote wireless Winch
9.   New Fog Lights
10. New rear Guard and Spare tire holder and Gas can holder
11. New tires and 5 New rims
12. New Full Roll Cage (Not Installed but goes with the truck)
13. New Radiator Alternator, Battery, Fuel Pump, Oil Pump, etc....
14. New shocks
15. New Lift Kit for a tasteful 3" lift
16. New Exhaust system which rumbles with Flowmaster Mufflers
17. New Wheel Well Fender flares
18.
 Totally refurbished removable top in perfect condition with dark tinted windows
19. Dark tinted windows all around
20. New steering wheel and the truck turns on a dime.  Very tight radius
21. New hydraulic brakes, lines, and rotors which stop on a dime 
     New EVERYTHING!!  New carpet, primer/paint, wiring through out, gauges, radio/CD/flash drive, steering shaft, head liner, sound proofing insulation, belts, battery, every part under the hood is new, every seal, clip,and part on the truck is new except the body, glass, frame, and seats.

     The guy I bought it from, Doug, ran out of money and therefore told me that he did not do 3 things to this vehicle.
1. He did not recover the seats.  There are no rips or tears and Not needed in my opinion!!
2. He did not fix a very little chip in the windshield.  If I did not tell you this, you would not see it.  Not needed!!
3. Finally, since the new windshield frame is stainless steel, the paint had a hard time sticking to it in one area.  There is a small area on the
    windshield frame that looks OK, but if you want it perfect, it would require a repaint.  It does not look bad however.  I am nitpicking.  

       I suggest that if you are interested in this Bronco to call me and request the 200 pictures.  Some people do not like bidding on Ebay and want to speak to the owner
personally.  I encourage that!!!   You should know WHO you are buying this from.   I have 100% feedback and nothing to hide so here is my phone.  317 201-7777.  I know it sounds ridiculous how much money and time Doug put into this restoration.  To the tune of $70,000.  I am letting it go for less half  that.

Thanks and Good Luck

Did a US automaker blow the whistle on Hyundai, Kia fuel economy issue?

Mon, 17 Dec 2012

In all of the most hotly contested mainstream segments of the motoring universe, the difference of one mile per gallon averaged on a widow sticker can mean the difference between a sale and a walk-off - to say nothing of two or three mpg. So, when Hyundai and Kia were forced to reveal that many of their 40-mpg ratings were actually 38s and 37s, well, it made for big news.
It also, conceivably, made for a competitive disadvantage immediately, when the Korean automakers' products were being shopped versus the guys down the block. And it's that disadvantage that makes a recent story from Automotive News so juicy.
AN is reporting that Margo Oge, former head of the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Transportation and Air Quality, got a tip in 2010 that Hyundai/Kia were "cheating" to get its impressive fuel economy numbers. The tip, said Oge (who retired from the EPA this past September), came from a senior vice president from a domestic automaker. The source was credible enough for Oge to launch an audit of the Hyundai figures, which ultimately lead to the debacle that we reported on a few months ago, and that the Korean company has been trying to bounce back from ever since.

Get a taste of Ford GT ownership from Dust Devils

Thu, Jan 1 2015

It seems that the automotive world might be right on the cusp of getting some kind of follow-up to the Ford GT. It might not be called the GT or even use the coupe's retro look, but rumors point to such a beast being on the way. If the future halo model can inspire as much adoration among fans as the previous ones, then the Blue Oval is sure to have another winner on its hands. To get idea just how closely GT owners are bonded to their cars, take a ride with the participants in the ninth Ford GT National Rally in this short documentary titled Dust Devils. The owners convened with over 80 of the retro supercars in Las Vegas, NV, to admire the coupes and give them a workout on the desert roads. It's especially nice to see the drivers of these limited production Fords unafraid to take their cars to the track and stretch their legs a little. Related Gallery 2016 Honda Accord Coupe V6: Quick Spin View 25 Photos There's just something about the shape of the GT and the GT40 before it that gets everything right aesthetically. The long, low-slung look is simultaneously menacing and lithe, and the growl from the latest model's supercharged V8 is nothing to complain about either. Get just the slightest taste of what it's like to have one of these halo Fords in this clip, from the people that love them the most.

Watch Piquet and Mansell bend some sheetmetal in Ford Fusion GP

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

As we told you about before, there were four episodes planned for the Ford Fusion GP campaign in Brazil, and the whole series has now run its course. The Ford ads pit Brazilian Formula One driver Nelson Piquet against English F1 pilot Nigel Mansell driving the new Fusion, the two coming together again after their partnership at the Williams F1 team ended in a miserable state more than 20 years ago.
They're lined up for you below, in reverse chronological order. You should watch number three first, though, as it adds a bit more spice to the NASCAR action in the fourth.
