This is a 1977 Bronco with Automatic C4 transmission, Power steering, Power disk brakes and a strong 302 V8.

Pros- Rust free CA car, driven to NYC from Bay Area, in December. Garage kept for its few short months in NYC.

The Bronco ran great on the drive, did not leak or burn any oil.

New Holley 350 2 barrel carb.

New 12 Gallon Auxiliary tank with electric switching valve. (Has never had gas in it).

New Fold and Tumble rear seat.

23 Gallon main tank.

3 inch Wild Horses lift kit.

33 Inch Yokohama tires with plenty of life.

Wiper motor lowering bracket.

4X4 works great, hubs lock and unlock with ease, drove great in the storms over the last winter.

79,000 miles on odometer. I dont know most of the history of this truck, but the condition is good enough that I think it is accurate.

Besttop softop in decent condition.

Located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn 11211.

This truck drives like a car. Automatic transmission, power steering and disk brakes have almost made me forget how brutal the earlier models were, with the 3 speed on the column and no power steering. A completely different animal.

My 100 pound wife has no problem jumping in it and driving it all over NYC. (Yes, for those of you who have seen her driving it around Brooklyn, thats her, and no. She is not part of the sale. Im doing my best to keep that one :-)

Cons-

Does not come with the Hardtop. ( I actually think thats a good thing. Finding a place to put the top when you take it off has never been easy!)

Hazard lights and front driver's turn signal are not functional. Hazards just stay solid and turn signal socket is broken. I havent had time to deal with it.

Slight leak on Transfer case; you can see a light coating of oil on the bottom of the case.

No A/C.

No stereo.

For clarity- when I say no rust I mean there is no body rot anywhere, I see a light coating of rust on the leaf springs and the u joint knuckle, and a few other places on the underside. I would cover it with undercoating if I were keeping the truck, but I knew Id be selling it, and I didnt want to hide anything from the next owner.

Paint - a good ten footer. Looks great until about 10 feet away, then you see things like cracks and bubbles in areas on the hood scoop. Overall it looks good, but it is by no means perfect.

2020 Ford Explorer, Lincoln Aviator reportedly facing numerous QC issues

Mon, Sep 16 2019

A lengthy report in the Detroit Free Press delves into a range of quality control issues confronting the 2020 Ford Explorer and its luxury platform sibling, the 2020 Lincoln Aviator. Freep says it's been following the issue for two months, tapping various unnamed sources for information on the automaker's unorthodox route to resolution. Seems the problem is Explorers and Aviators leaving the production line at the Chicago Assembly Plant with flaws in areas like the chassis, transmission and suspension, said vehicles trucked to Ford's Flat Rock Assembly Plant (FRAP) outside of Detroit for repair. The estimates range from 10,000 to 18,000 vehicles affected, numbers so high that Ford has sought help from Roush Engineering in nearby Allen Park, and brought workers and managers from other plants in the Midwest to FRAP to get vehicles repaired and shipped to dealers. Ford hasn't shared the nature of the problems with anyone outside the company, including dealers and customers. Freep's sources are said to include workers who have provided photos of certain vehicles and of tents used to house parts at the FRAP repair site. The Explorer chassis allegedly has an unidentified problem that engineers are using X-rays to diagnose, and the transmission is having problems sensing when it's in park or going into park. Both the Explorer and Aviator have come off the line with HVAC units that only blow hot air. And the Aviator's height-adjustable suspension enters failure mode for unknown reasons. These come on top of quotidian mishaps common to every new vehicle, but that are meant to be sorted in pre-production, like missing emblems and trim pieces. They also come on top of a recall in early August issued for the Explorer and Aviator concerning the instrument cluster and parking brake, and another at the end of August over rear seatbacks that could collapse in a crash. An automaker spokesperson told Freep, "Making updates to preproduction models based on all-new platforms as they roll off the assembly line – is standard industry practice." Except these aren't pre-production, these are early production vehicles that paying customers and dealers are waiting for, and some of the affected vehicles have been pulled off dealer lots. Dealers say they are fine waiting for the trucks to get sorted out, and they'd rather have Ford fix the problems before the SUVs go to customers.

2015 Ford Focus ST zooming toward Goodwood reveal [w/video]

Mon, 23 Jun 2014

Ford has quite a party ready for the Goodwood Festival of Speed starting on June 27. Not only is the 2015 Mustang going to be driving in front of the European public for the first time, the Blue Oval is also unveiling its 2015 refresh for the Focus ST.
Official details about the latest Focus hot hatch are practically nonexistent at this point. Ford's teaser image shows narrower headlights, and the company says that the ST also benefits from the technical and quality improvements from the refreshed standard model, which likely means an even more Aston-Martin-like grille. However, any improvements for the power or handling are a mystery for now.
Ford will even give visitors to the festival the chance to drive the new ST - at least virtually. Gran Turismo 6 kiosks will be on hand with the hot hatch loaded up to race the Goodwood Hill Climb. There will also be real-time races between former Stig Ben Collins in the real ST challenging a player up the hill in the game.

2014 Ford Transit unveiled in Chassis Cab and Cutaway versions

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

As a leader in commercial vehicles here in the US, we knew Ford wouldn't take too long to show off the chassis cab and cutaway versions of its 2014 Ford Transit van. Set to go on sale this fall, Ford already revealed the full-body version of the Transit, and now it has pulled the cover off exposed-frame models just in time to to compete against the all-new Ram Promaster.
The term "chassis cab" refers to models with a fully enclosed cabin used for box vans or rental trucks, while cutaway models leave the cabin open behind the B-pillars for a pass-through on vehicles such as Class C motorhomes or ambulances. Both will offer three wheelbase options (138, 156 and 178 inches), the choice of single or dually rear axles, and plenty of upfitter-friendly touches including a pre-wired body harness and multiple body mount locations.
The new design will also help make upfitting a little easier since the fuel filler is now built into the cab (just behind the driver's door). Those integrated fuel filler necks will serve to feed either a 3.7-liter V6, a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, or a 3.2-liter Power Stroke diesel. Transit chassis cab and cutaways will wear varying Gross vehicle weight ratings from 9,000 pounds to 10,360 pounds depending on spec.
