1977 Ford Bronco Sport, All Original, Uncut Fenders, Rust Free on 2040-cars
Tempe, Arizona, United States
Up for auction is a super clean, rust free 1977 Ford Bronco with the coveted Sport package, factory 302 V8, finished in light copper with white vinyl buckets and bench. I purchased this Bronco a few years ago from the second owner. The truck spent most of its days in Denver Colorado where it was used by the original owner who loved to go fishing and bird watching. He drove it only occasionally and never touched the original features of the truck. The rear fenders remain uncut from the factory. The driver and passenger floors were professionally replaced with OEM style floor pans and the fit is perfect. The original driver side floor pan was rusted through with a quarter size hole in the flat part of the floor. The passenger side was very clean with mostly surface rust but I had both sides and decided to pay to have them both replaced. The shop that installed the new floors finished the entire rest of the truck floor with black POR 15.
This truck has 72,919 original miles as documented by the working odometer and Box A (actual miles) Arizona Title. The title is clear and in my name. The truck runs and drives. I would recommend a tune up, new motor mounts, transmission mount, and interior. The original interior is in fantastic shape for a 1977 truck. I do have the passenger side seat, it was left out for pictures but it is included along with the rear bench seat. The top was repainted by a friend, it needs to be color sanded and despite his efforts the paint job was not perfect and I would recommend a re-spray along with the rest of the truck. The rear hatch glass and side glass have been removed and I do have new rubber all the way around for the removable top. The dash pad is new and the door panels are new. This would be a great fun daily driver or show truck restoration candidate. The old truck market is very hot right now, especially for early Bronco's. The Desert Southwest climate is perfect for these rust prone classics and this is a great example. Take a look at the pictures and you will see every detail. There is no rust on this truck, it is clean and solid. If additional pictures are wanted please message me and I will do my best to respond quickly. I have a two post lift in my garage so if you want any detail pictures of the undercarriage that I have not included feel free to ask. I will be available this weekend for picture taking and out of town Mon - Thur next week. If you e-mail me through eBay and would like to talk over the phone please leave a number and I will call you. The truck is located at my home in Queen Creek, AZ but I can accommodate out of state buyers. My office is 15 minutes from Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport and I would be happy to pick you up at the airport and bring the Bronco to my office for inspection. I also have a lift at my office. I will also be glad to help with transportation. I have used Reliable Carriers and they are located close to my office in Tempe. I can drop at their terminal which usually saves you a hundred dollars versus a residential pickup. Good luck and happy bidding.

Recharge Wrap-up: Ford's "snowtonomous" Fusion Hybrid, Porsche eyes battery makers
Fri, Mar 11 2016Bosch and Panasonic are vying to be the battery supplier for Porsche's electric sports car based on the Mission E concept. While Bosch's costs may be higher, its solution would offer simpler logistics. Panasonic is already well established as a battery maker, providing the packs for the Porsche car's rival, Tesla. "We're in the final stage of making a decision," says Porsche CEO Oliver Blume, declining to comment on specific manufacturers. Neither Bosch nor Panasonic provided comment. Read more from Automotive News. Renault will supply a fleet of 150 Renault Zoe EVs for a smart solar charging project in Utrecht, Netherlands. The project involves the installation of 1,000 EV chargers powered by 10,000 photovoltaic panels. The Renault Zoes would be used as part of a carsharing program powered by the solar chargers. Renault and its partners will also implement a vehicle-to-grid system to provide energy during peak demand from the solar chargers and connected EVs. Read more in the press release from Renault. Ford has been testing an autonomous Fusion Hybrid prototype that is capable of driving itself in snowy conditions. Ford uses 3D mapping to scan the drive route. Its LiDAR laser mapping can even detect single falling snowflakes. It collects and processes up to 600 gigabytes of data per hour, comparing its environment to saved maps, a process that helps establish location more precisely than GPS. In addition to the LiDAR systems, the car is also equipped with cameras and radar to help it navigate. Eventually, the car could even be able to clean off its sensors when it detects loss of performance from ice and dirt. Read more in the press release below. FROM AUTONOMY TO SNOWTONOMY: HOW FORD FUSION HYBRID AUTONOMOUS RESEARCH VEHICLE CAN NAVIGATE IN WINTER DEARBORN, Mich., March 10, 2016 – Driving in snow can be a slippery challenge, with the potential for one blizzardy gust to white-out your field of view – a situation faced by the majority of people in the United States. So if self-driving cars are to become a reality – and they almost certainly will – they must be able to navigate snow-covered roads. In its quest to bring self-driving vehicles to millions of people around the world, Ford reveals six facts about its technology that allows for a car to drive itself in snow. 1. Mapping the way: Ford first creates high-resolution 3D maps using LiDAR technology to scan the area its autonomous vehicle will later drive in the snow.
Uber releases fleet of self-driving vehicles to select few in Pittsburgh
Wed, Sep 14 2016Starting today, a select group of Uber users in Pittsburgh, PA will have the ability to request a self-driving vehicle. If a self-driving vehicle is in the area, Uber will send it, as well as a safety driver, to drive loyal customers to their destination. The announcement to give customers the opportunity to get a ride in one of Uber's self-driving vehicles comes roughly a year and a half after the company set up its Advanced Technologies Center in the city. On Tuesday, the company offered a few members of the press the opportunity to ride in one of the company's self-driving cars. The fleet, despite Uber's collaboration with Volvo, was comprised of 14 Ford Fusions equipped with a host of self-driving technology, reports TechCrunch. Uber is giving away free rides as a way to obtain real-world testing, which is crucial for self-driving technology. Recently, nuTonomoy beat Uber to the punch by launching the world's first autonomous taxis in Singapore. While the choice to release its self-driving cars in Pittsburgh mainly comes down to the fact that its ATC is located there, the city faces four seasons and its difficult streets that are comprised of bridges, railroad lines, and an irregular grid layout will prove to be a challenge for the autonomous cars. Since the self-driving vehicles are still being tested, the cars will come with two full-time Uber employees. One employee will loosely grasp the car's steering wheel, ready to take over if something goes awry, while the other will monitor the computer's software. As TechCrunch points out, Uber's autonomous vehicles drove in a similar manner to a regular driver. It obeyed traffic laws, mimicked a driver by coming to stops gently and at other times abruptly, as well as driving slightly into another lane to dodge a poorly-parked vehicle, reports TechCrunch. There's no word on whether regular Uber customers will get a ride in one of the company's Fusions or one of the Volvo's that its working on. Automakers and companies alike have been in a race to put autonomous vehicles on the road. Tesla recently updated its Autopilot system, Apple laid off dozens of employees to reboot its self-driving car project, and Google is working giving its autonomous vehicle the ability to detect emergency vehicles. While this is a large step for Uber, vehicles with autonomous capabilities still have a long way to go.
Next Ford F-150 delayed for aluminum body panel issues?
Wed, 11 Dec 2013The timetable for next-generation Ford F-150 may be in trouble if a report from The Truth About Cars is true. The next F-150 is slated to make extensive use of weight-saving aluminum in its body, but the aluminum alloy provided by suppliers hasn't met Ford's requirements in the earliest phases of pre-production, according to the report.
The F-150 represents a huge portion of Ford's profits and is the best-selling truck in the US, even in the face of increased pressure from cross-town rivals General Motors and Ram. While the current truck is treading water against its competition, we'd be lying if we said the F-150 weren't growing quite long in the tooth.
If production of the next-generation of the Ford cash cow, said to be based on the Atlas Concept from the 2013 Detroit Auto Show (pictured above), is delayed, it could be bad for Ford. Production at Ford's Dearborn Truck Plant is already set to be delayed six to ten weeks, missing an internal on-sale deadline of Memorial Day.
