      Regretfully I am selling my 1978 Bronco.  Due to the recent sequester I will not be getting paid on a crop insurance policy I purchased through USDA soon enough to pay some bills or possibly at all so I have to sell this Bronco immediately.  I just bought this Bronco back from a friend in November.  I had bought it from the original owner in 1997 when I was 20 years old. It was my daily driver for a year and I loved it.  In 1998 I sold it because I needed a pickup to work out of.  I sold it to a family friend and fellow Ford enthusiast.  He took excellent care of it only putting about 500 miles on it in 14 years.
     All the time he owned it I always told him that if he decided to sell it I wanted it back.  Last spring after sitting for quite a while he discovered that the engine had become seized for some reason.  He purchased a nicely rebuilt 400 from a mutual friend who is a professional mechanic and they installed it.  The engine was properly installed and broke in right with zinc added to the oil and primed.  It also received a new gas tank and lines as well as new power steering pump and master cylinder.  The radiator was flushed and belts were changed.  It also had brand new tires put on the factory painted wheels not long before I got it.  It now has approximately 1500 miles on the new parts and engine and runs and drives excellent.
     At the time of this listing it is back in the shop getting the air conditioning serviced and recharged as it had not been done yet from the engine swap.  Also the rear window electric motor is being replaced with a new one because it is a little slow.  When it leaves the shop the only thing not working will be the cruise control which is all there but won't engage, maybe the buyer can figure it out.  This Bronco is very close to original condition and is in good overall condition.  To my knowledge there was never any rust repair done and the only known rust is a small spot on the bottom of the tailgate caused by a leaky rear window seal that has since been replaced.  I tried to photograph it as best I could.
     For a 35-year-old vehicle it is in great shape but it is not perfect.  It is however an honest Bronco that has not been messed with much and is 99% rust free.  In fact, it still has an 8-track player in it!  This Bronco would make an easy restoration project or a good driver. The paint is cracked and front seats are torn but the dash pad is perfect. These Freewheeling package Broncos are getting harder to find.  I would not be afraid to drive it anywhere.  I have tried to be as honest as possible in describing it and will be happy to answer questions.  I will be happy to work with the shipper you choose.  If not for finances I would not be selling it.  I am not at a computer very often so it is best to call me at 6202711216 or my wife at 6206408414. 
     I would like $500 within 24 hrs of the auction ending and payment in full within 7 days.  Thanks for looking!

Ford could use Raptor name on Ranger in Australia

Sun, Jun 14 2015

Ford might be flying the Raptor name into the market Down Under, but rather than on a high-performance F-150, the aggressive moniker could be used for a mean Ranger. The Australia-based site Car Advice recently spotted the Blue Oval testing a modified Ranger over some off-road terrain. The pickup was equipped with a snorkel over the roof for wading into deep water, a brush bar to protect the front, a higher ride height, and fender flares. The regular version of the truck launches Down Under later this year, including the somewhat rugged Wildtrak trim level (pictured above). So where does the Raptor name fit into this? Ford filed a trademark in Australia on June 5 for the Ranger Raptor. There's no guarantee for that as the truck's moniker, though. As of May 28, the Blue Oval also owns the right to the Ranger FX4 title. Although, don't start saving yet. With the Ranger remaining unavailable outside of the US for the latest generation, there's no chance of a Ranger Raptor coming here. Hopefully, Aussie off-roaders get plenty of enjoyment out of the truck, if it sees production. Related Video:
