1977 Ford Bronco 1 Owner, Original Paint, 44k Miles, on 2040-cars
Nashville, Tennessee, United States
|
Available is a special Bronco. I found her at this years Bronco Super Celebration in Townsend TN. The owner was an old timer from Marion NC. He drove it to the show and back home, a total of 300 miles that sunny Saturday. The bronco was bought new from his friend in 1977 ( I have the original receipt when it was bought). His friend recently passed and he bought the Bronco from the estate, and sold it to me in May. He delivered it to my sister in Knoxville, and my Dad who is 75 drove it from Knoxville to Nashville (175 miles) a few weeks ago. She's reliable daily driver, as is or restore to show quality status. Fly in and drive her home of have her transported.
She's in very good overall original condition. It The paint is original and has plenty of patina. I had it buffed and it removed most of the oxidation. The top has never been off. The doors are the tightest closing doors I've seen. The inner and outer strikers and posts are perfect, with NO door sag. All sheet metal is original and there is no bondo anywhere. The belly is super clean as seen in the pictures. She's almost completely rust free. There's a couple minor spots in the front floor seams and on the right rear seam by the wheel well, and the right rear quarter seam, that's about it. The rockers, tailgate, kick panels, windshield frame, front hood lip, inner fenders are all rust free. The front seats have been recovered at some point, the rear seat is original. It has the factory front and rear Black mats. It still has the original AM radio too! The original 302 purrs, doesn't smoke and even appears to have it's original muffler and catalytic converter. The previous owner said the Bronco sat for a couple of years before he bought it and his mechanic told him it has sticky lifter ticking. It has been driven about 500 miles, and drives excellent. The transmission shifts fine, it has the 4 turn close ratio power steering only available in 76 and 77. 4WD works fine. It has 5 new AT tires, new master cylinder. All the lights work, even the dash light bars, shift indicator, side markers, and license plate light. It also has the optional remote drivers side view mirror. It's rare to find a '77 with only 44K miles, uncut with original paint, but here it is! Ask questions before you bid. Sold as is with no warranty. Sold with clear title. I refuse the right to end the auction early If I decide to list it locally for sale. All questions will be answered. A $500.00 non refundable deposit is due at auctions end. I have a transport company I can refer. Their rate is typically .75/mile. THANKS |

Lincoln MKC recalled because start button located too close to touchscreen [UPDATE]
Wed, Dec 31 2014UPDATE: Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker responded to our questions and let us know that the fix for the push-button start on the 2015 MKC has the switch moved to the top of the of the column of gear shift buttons instead of the bottom. Owners should be notified about both campaigns "toward the end of February." After massive campaigns from General Motors and to fix Takata airbag inflators, 2014 will undoubtedly go down as The Year Of The Recall. And with little time to spare, Ford is getting in just under the wire to adding two more to its yearly total. The larger of the campaigns is actually one of the most bizarre campaigns we've heard of all year. Lincoln is recalling 13,574 units of its 2015 MKC compact crossover in North America to move the location of the push-button ignition switch on the dashboard. According to the automaker's announcement: "Due to the switch's close proximity to other controls, occupants are inadvertently shutting off the engine while driving." The button is located near the bottom of the touchscreen, which can apparently make it possible to hit by mistake. Back when Autoblog first drove the new MKC in June, we came away very impressed, but noted: "... we're still not completely sold on the aforementioned pushbutton transmission selector ... it still seems somewhat gimmicky and it can't be operated by feel alone, as you might when shifting a traditional console-mounted lever from Park to Drive." According to Lincoln, there have been no reported accidents or injuries stemming from this button misapplication. Of the affected vehicles, there are 11,144 in the US, 2,033 in Canada and 397 in Mexico. To fix the problem, dealers are moving the button to a different location and reprogramming the powertrain control module. According to Automotive News, models built since September already have a different layout. The change was reportedly done to match the rest of the Lincoln lineup. The second recall covers 12,205 units of the 2014 Ford Escape (2015 model year pictured below) and 2015 Lincoln MKC in North America because of a problem with nickel plating on the fuel pump. The issue can cause the pump to seize, which can cause the crossovers not to start or stall while driving. The automaker is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this fault. Dealers are replacing the fuel deliver module to fix the situation. Of the affected vehicles, there are 9,038 in the US, 3,074 in Canada and 93 in Mexico.

We go hands-free on the highway with Audi, narrowly avoid a collision with Ford and hear all about BMW's drifting driverless car. But first we take a ride on Induct's self-driving Navia shuttle.
As US exports top 2 million, is America becoming the world's source of cheap cars?
Mon, Feb 9 2015North American auto production is booming with 2014 figures just shy of the of the 17.3-million vehicle record set in 2000. With more models being built on the continent, even more are being shipped overseas. Factories in the US exported 2.1 million cars last year – the highest number ever. About half of those went to Canada and Mexico, but more than ever have been heading to places like the Middle East and China. The upswing comes in part from from after-effects from the Great Recession, according to The Wall Street Journal. With a weak dollar and lower production costs after the financial crisis, building vehicles in the US was relatively cheaper and more competitive in the world. At the same time buyers around the world are going crazy for crossovers. According to the WSJ, BMW and Mercedes-Benz are already exporting the majority of their US production of these models overseas. Both automakers have also announced investments to expand production further here to send more vehicles abroad. Even Honda has been shipping more models out of the country than it imported here. There is a concern this international strength could start slowing because the dollar is strengthening against other currencies, though it's too early to know what the actual effect of this could be, according to the WSJ. "Of course, we closely watch currency exchange, but we don't make changes in production or allocation based on temporary fluctuations in the exchange rate," Ford North American boss Joe Hinrichs told the newspaper.
