1976 Early Ford Bronco, 351 Windsor, 4-speed ***no Reserve on 2040-cars
Meridian, Idaho, United States
|
1976 Early Ford Bronco, No Reserve I purchased this Bronco 18 years ago and put about 50,000
miles on it myself since its purchase in 1996.
The odometer now reads 23,550 miles on it, I am pretty sure it is actually 223,550 on the vehicle. I’m sad to see it go but its time for me to
raise some funds for a new business. This truck is a super sound runner. The 351 Windsor has about 30,000 miles on it,
and was installed 5 years ago. I have
kept up with all full service oil changes every 3-4k miles. Since I have had it I have replaced and
upgraded much of the truck, getting stronger and better parts than what came on
it. I have held off doing much to the
body or paint though, as I was putting everything I could into it for
reliability and durability. So I
consider the truck kind of stealth, in that mechanically it is super sound and
complete. It’s been in need of a paint
job for many years, and if you were now ready, the paint choice is all yours. The usual Bronco rust spots are very clean on
this truck, the floor pans and door posts are in great shape. I built this for sturdy off-road use, but
only made it rock crawling to Moab a handful of times. Original Goodies (some specific to
the 76 and 77 years) Upgrades -351 W Engine
(around 30,000 miles since rebuild) It has the original intake and 2-Barrel
Carburetor I prefer for its simplicity, reliability and gas efficiency. Other replacements/work I can think of in
last 30,000 miles -MOST ALL PARTS HOOKED ONTO & PLUGGED INTO THE ENGINE. Things Wrong with the Truck
-Some paint and body damage as seen in pics Summary

NHTSA upgrades Ford floor mat unintended acceleration probe
Mon, 17 Dec 2012According to a Bloomberg report, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has upgraded an investigation into complaints of unintended acceleration lodged against Ford vehicles. The investigation began in June of 2010 when just three complaints had been received and it only concerned the Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan, but this was at a time when the phrase "unintended acceleration" made grown men go pale. With 49 additional complaints received since then, the investigation has been reclassified as an engineering analysis - the last phase before a recall - and it has been expanded to include the Lincoln MKZ, making for a total of "around 480,000" units affected between the three sedans from the 2008 to 2010 model years.
The ostensible cause is that floor mats are trapping the accelerator pedal, but according to a Ford statement at the time, the entrapment is due to owners placing the optional all-weather floor mats, or aftermarket floor mats, on top of the car's standard floor mats. NHTSA has backed up that assessment, pinning the blame on "unsecured or double stacked floor mats."
On the face of it, it would appear that NHTSA has upgraded the status not because of Ford's error, but owner error, and Ford has stated publicly that it is "disappointed" in NHTSA's move. On top of NHTSA still being skittish after that other unintended acceleration debacle, it could be seen to be taking its time investigating all of the variables: it's reported that Ford changed its accelerator pedal design in 2010, a "heel blocker" in the floorpan has been considered a potential culprit in how the floor mats could be trapping the pedal, some drivers have said the floor mats weren't anywhere near the pedal, and according to a report in the LA Times, in "a letter sent by Ford to NHTSA in August 2010, the automaker said it found three injuries and one fatality that 'may have resulted from the alleged defect.'"
Automakers' rush on aluminum may result in shortage
Thu, 13 Feb 2014Aluminum is the new buzzword in the automotive industry. The latest Range Rover and Range Rover Sport both take advantage of the lightweight material to shave huge amounts of body fat (only it's called "aluminium" over there). Audi and Jaguar have been using the stuff for years in their A8 and XJ, respectively, and now, aluminum is going mainstream, arriving on the 2015 Ford F-150.
While we're excited to see aluminum make an impact outside the premium market, its widespread adoption apparently won't come without some problems, notably in terms of supply. "There isn't an automotive manufacturer that makes vehicles in North America that we're not talking to," Tom Boney, of Novelis, the largest global supplier of aluminum sheetmetal, told The Detroit News.
According to Boney, Ford's use of aluminum on such a large scale has forced auto manufacturers in "every boardroom" to reconsider their plans following the F-150's unveiling, for one simple reason: there's not exactly enough aluminum to go around, at least in the short term. The auto industry presently only accounts for six percent of the aluminum sheet produced, but as the material is adopted by more and more brands, that figure is expected to swell to 25 percent within the next six years.
Project Ugly Horse alive and kicking at Road & Track
Thu, 29 Aug 2013The hallways of the Autoblog campus are much quieter now that Zach Bowman has taken his prose, along with his welders, wrenches and hammers, over to the digital pages of Road & Track, but that doesn't mean our favorite project Mustang is gone forever. Project Ugly Horse is still coming along, and Zach has gifted us another update on his unfoxy Fox Body.
Last we saw of the Ugly Horse, Zach was strengthening up the '89 Mustang's chassis as he prepares to stuff the turbocharged, direct-injected EcoBoost engine of a Ford Focus ST under the hood. First things first, the old mill must go. Head on over to Road & Track to catch the latest chapter of Project Ugly Horse.
