78 Custom Ford Bronco:
If you are looking for a Stock 78 Bronco to keep or modify this is a good one. The body is in excellent shape inside and out and underneath. It was bought new in North Carolina and second owner bought in NC and he said he drove from NC to FL many times before he stayed down here. I know it has been garage kept for the past 10+ years and the previous owner had it painted years back. It runs and drives great. Everything works on the Bronco, like lights, signal gauges, etc and including the a/c!
It is a 1978 Ford Bronco Custom, 351M, C-6 automatic trans, power disc front brakes, power steering, A/C, and am/fm cassette stereo. It has the stock ford locking hubs and the dash pad has no cracks. Front and rear chrome bumpers are in great shape. There is no lift on Bronco and has stock exhaust. The valve covers and breather have been replaced with aftermarket type. Manual windows in front electric rear window and the doors work and close as good as new. It does show 60k miles but I believe it is 160k like I said the 2nd owner put some highway miles on it as far as I can tell by the way it looks.
Recent upgrades are:
Front bucket seats were reupholstered.
Rubber floor mat was replaced in front and back passengers area.
New spark plugs, air filter, oil filter, oil, trans filter screen and gasket, trans fluid, wiper blades and battery.
Replaced 33 gal fuel tank and sending unit.
Replace the electronic ignition module.
2 barrel carburetor was rebuilt.
Minor things:
The old module leaked its guts down the inside of the engine compartment where it is bolted its very sticky but does not hurt anything.
The custom emblem on the glove box has slid down about an inch for the Florida heat.
I have been driving some with the tires they have good tread but they are older and will need replaced soon.
There are a couple of small cracks or chips on door panels and cups. not very noticeable just cosmetic.
Email any questions.
Seller has the right to remove from auction early.

Ford recalls 83k Taurus and crossover models for halfshaft issue
Fri, 15 Aug 2014Ford and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have issued a recall for some 83,250 vehicles in the US, for an issue with halfshafts. More specifically a "halfshaft retention circlip" might not have been properly installed on affected vehicles, with the result being halfshafts that may move improperly or disengage completely from the linkshaft while driving. The NHTSA release also notes that the issue may occur "without prior warning" which obviously factors in to the timeliness of getting this checked.
Should the halfshaft disengage, a few troubling things could happen. If it occurs while driving, power from the engine will no longer be transmitted to the wheels. And, if the vehicle is parked without the parking brake applied after disengagement of the circlip, vehicles may roll away even if they're transmissions have been placed in "Park."
Affected vehicles are as follows: Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX crossovers from model years 2012 to 2014; Ford Taurus and Lincoln MKS sedans from model years 2013 to 2014; Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT vehicles from model years 2013 to 2014.
Ford C-Max Solar Energi takes a recharging station wherever it goes
Wed, 08 Jan 2014Companies ranging in size from small startups to major automakers have been experimenting with solar-powered charging stations for EVs and plug-in hybrids. And, of course, people have been powering vehicles with onboard solar panels for quite some time, too. Still, Ford's new C-Max Solar Energi Concept shows the promise of a truly practical implementation of solar on a production vehicle, and it may not be as far off in the future as we had thought.
As we reported a few days ago, the Solar concept makes use of a "concentrator lens" that focuses sunlight onto the Ford's roof-mounted solar panels. The special lens follows the rays of the sun to maximize the amount of charge being fed to the batteries of the car, taking about a day to fully charge the 21-mile, all-electric range of the C-Max Energi. Ford data suggests that combination might be enough to power 75 percent of all trips made by a statistically average driver. In turn, using the sun to power a vehicle could reduce yearly C02 emissions by up to four metric tons when compared with the driver of an average gasoline-powered sedan.
We've got live images of the C-Max Solar Energi Concept, jauntily tilted on its display to best present it's signature solar panels, straight from the CES floor.
