This is a 78 model full size Bronco with 4 wheel drive. It has the 4.10 gear ratio with lock-out hubs. 4x4 works good. Engine is the 351M400 with an automatic transmission. I parked it earlier this winter because as it is, its pretty hard on fuel due to a fowl carburetor. It starts and runs ok as is, and can be driven but there is some fuel seepage at front of carb...Possibly the fuel injector pump in carb is sticking. So its going to need the carb attended to, or changed. It is licensed through May 2013, and I have the clear title in hand. New parts are entire front member gears...(ring, pinion, side, spiders...entire gear cage), also new are windshield wipers, fuel pump, and fuel tank. It needs a new fuel level sending unit in tank, and also an up/down dash control switch for the rear door glass. I also noticed when I was driving it earlier this winter, a clunk sound towards the rear of vehicle between accelerations...This may be a u-joint, but I think more likely something worn or loose in the rearend, but I havent looked into it so cant know for sure. Could also use new tires. Windshield is cracked. original grille missing, but I do have an entire front grille with square headlights from a vehicle 2 years newer that I will include. As you can see in pics, the hood hinge supports of cab are excellent shape. The odometer reads 18959.8 so I'm just assuming mileage to be 118k. I need the money more right now to pay prop taxes and such, rather than keep and continue to fix up, so here it is for sale. 218-835-8991.

Ford evaluating new Fiesta RS?
Wed, 08 Jan 2014Word coming in from across the pond has it that Ford is working on developing the business case to create a new Fiesta RS. The development is encouraged by the extremely positive reception the existing Fiesta ST has garnered to date, and the emergence of the above-pictured Fiesta RS WRC rally car, but it'll take more than goodwill to make a more extreme version a reality.
According to Auto Express, a new roadgoing Fiesta RS would almost certainly be based closely on the ST version, albeit with some vital differences. Its 1.6-liter turbo four would be increased from 180 horsepower to somewhere around 230 hp, and that powertrain would be accompanied by lightweight alloys inside blistered wheel arches, a stripped-out interior and possibly lightweight bodywork.
The vehicle's approval would reportedly require a strong business case in Europe, and not just in the UK where Ford hot hatches traditionally enjoy a strong following. It's unclear whether the Fiesta RS would potentially make the transatlantic voyage to American showrooms, but between it and the larger Focus RS, hopefully the Blue Oval wouldn't leave its home market out of the action altogether.
Ford Focus ST checks into Jay Leno's Garage
Mon, 23 Sep 2013In a change of pace from the high-end vehicles that often appear in Jay Leno's Garage, Ford sends its hottest hatchback (in the US, at least), the 252-horsepower Focus ST, to be featured on Leno's show. Accompanying the five-door hatch is its chief engineer, Jamal Hameedi.
Riding on stylish 18-inch wheels with summer tires and with a spoiler that doubles as a lunch tray, Hameedi and Leno walk us through the finer points of what makes the ST special, which also includes bigger brakes, torque vectoring, a manual transmission and, of course, 252 hp and 270 pound-feet of torque from the 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, which is made possible by 21 psi of turbocharged boost.
Watch the video below to see what Leno thinks of the global Focus ST.
NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder
Fri, 11 Jul 2014There may be more steering woes for the Ford Crown Victoria. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation into the Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis from the 2004 to 2007 model years and the Mercury Marauder for the 2004 and 2005 model years because the steering shaft can jam. The issue could potentially affect an estimated 500,000 vehicles.
According to the regulator, there is a possibility that the driver's side heat shield for the exhaust manifold can rust, dislodge, and then wedge into the steering shaft. If this occurs, it leads to a situation where the driver can no longer control the car.
NHTSA has received five complaints of this happening, including one alleged case with an injury. In that situation, the car was driving onto the highway, lost control and rolled over. One occupant was hurt in the accident.
