1977 Ford Bronco 4x4 302ci V8 - Early Classic Bronco on 2040-cars
Miami, Florida, United States
|
Condition:
This 1977 Early Ford Bronco runs great, has been in climate controlled-garage, and has had routine maintenance and minor repairs by mechanics over the years. Body is in very good condition, with small dings, scratches, and paint chips throughout (see photos). There are small bits of rust, but nothing anywhere major (see photo driver kick panel). Crack in hood (see photo) has been the same size since I bought it. Original windshield is flat, with 1 small ding in it. Lock on driver side door works, passenger side does not, but there is no top--so its never locked. I have moved it across the country 3 times without issue (NJ, LA, Miami). It is the original factory paint job--37 years faded :-) Truck is not a show rebuild--but looks used and well enjoyed. I use it with the top off, but it comes with both the Kayline soft top, and the original hard top, as seen in the photos. I will also have stainless steel nerd bars from Jeff's Bronco Graveyard to add in that I have never attached. I have used it for the beach, golf course, quail fields or driving around town, mostly just weekends. It does require a warm-up on cold starts, but fires right up afterwards. Drives great, with a slight kick during initial acceleration (10-15mph), but I hardly notice anymore. There is not a day I drive it that I do not get a compliment. Features:
History - Clear Title. I have owned for several years without any major issues, mostly routine maintenance. I have had some wiring replaced, battery replaced, carburetor cleaned out and resealed, safety switch replaced, choke replaced, fuel fill neck replaced; I am not a mechanic, and had all this done professionally. Previous owner was out of California, owned for 15 years, and had stated that the motor was a rebuild with only 14,000 miles on it at the time (2010). He indicated the transmission was a rebuild, and that the smog pump, radiator, hoses, cat converter, fuel tank he had replaced new over his ownership. I could not verify, but sharing for history on this Bronco. This is a 37 year old Bronco in very good shape, but if you actually use it, there will be items over time that will eventually come up. I have been able to find nearly anything I needed off of Tom's Bronco Parts or Jeff's Bronco Graveyard, and had found a "Bronco enthusiast" mechanic anywhere I have lived. Questions?

2014 Ford Fiesta Titanium
Mon, 28 Oct 2013You might not be interested in owning a subcompact (B-segment) hatchback for $20,000. Let's be clear from the get go here: there are any number of reasonable arguments for staying away from the highest-content versions of these small cars. Ford's player in the B-segment arena is the newly updated 2014 Fiesta, and the Titanium trim represents the most luxurious instantiation of the model. We recently were loaned a Fiesta Titanium for a week, whose final sticker price hit $20,390, with navigation being the only standalone option added to the bottom line. By way of comparison, the most basic version of the all new, one-segment-up Mazda3 hatchback costs $19,740 with delivery and destination accounted for, and no options added on.
Hold on to that thought for a moment, we'll get back to it.
Is it time for American carmakers to give up on dual-clutch transmissions? [w/poll]
Mon, 22 Jul 2013Last week, in the midst of Detroit's first days seeking relief in Chapter 9 of the bankruptcy code, Automotive News contributor Larry P. Vellequette penned an editorial suggesting that American car companies raise the white flag on dual clutch transmissions and give up on trying to persuade Americans to buy cars fitted with them. Why? Because, Vellequette says, like CVT transmissions, they "just don't sound right or feel right to American drivers." (Note: In the article, it's not clear if Vellequette is arguing against wet-clutch and dry-clutch DCTs or just dry-clutch DCTs, which is what Ford and Chrysler use.) The article goes on to state that Ford and Chrysler have experimented with DCTs and that both consumers and the automotive press haven't exactly given them glowing reviews, despite their quicker shifts and increased fuel efficiency potential compared to torque-converter automatic transmissions.
Autoblog staffers who weighed in on the relevance of DCTs in American cars generally disagreed with the blanket nature of Vellequette's statement that they don't sound or feel right, but admit that their lack of refinement compared to traditional automatics can be an issue for consumers. That's particularly true in workaday cars like the Ford Focus and Dodge Dart, both of which have come in for criticism in reviews and owner surveys. From where we sit, the higher-performance orientation of such transmissions doesn't always meld as well with the marching orders of everyday commuters (particularly if drivers haven't been educated as to the transmission's benefits and tradeoffs), and in models not fitted with paddle shifters, it's particularly hard for drivers to use a DCT to its best advantage.
Finally, we also note that DCT tuning is very much an evolving science. For instance, Autoblog editors who objected to dual-clutch tuning in the Dart have more recently found the technology agreeable in the Fiat 500L. Practice makes perfect - or at least more acceptable.
