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 unveils all-new 2016 F-650 and F-750 at NTEA
Tue, 04 Mar 2014Medium-duty work trucks might not be the most exciting vehicles, but they perform necessary jobs everyday. Ford is in the process of a complete refresh of its entire commercial vehicle lineup over the next 18 months, and it is debuting the all-new versions of its F-650 and F-750 trucks at the NTEA Work Truck Show in Indianapolis, IN.
"The all-new F-650/F-750 allow us to leverage our strengths and sales leadership in Classes 1 to 5 to create a better F-650/F-750 that's designed, engineered and built by Ford in the USA," said Ford spokesperson Mike Levine to Autoblog via email.
Huge amounts of torque is vital for trucks like these, and both models are offered with some of Fords biggest engines. Buyers can opt for either the 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 diesel with TorqShift 6-speed automatic with available power takeoff or a gasoline-fueled 6.8-liter V10 with a 6-speed automatic. The V10 can also be ordered from the factory to be fueled by compressed natural gas or liquid propane gas.

Ford's Mulally now said to be in lead for Microsoft CEO job
Sun, 29 Sep 2013There have been rumors that Ford CEO Alan Mulally could assume the top job over at Microsoft, whose CEO, Steve Ballmer, will retire within the year. Mulally hasn't come out and said that he's considering moving to Microsoft after (or before) his contract with Ford through 2014 ends, but sources in the know say he's the front-runner to become the tech giant's CEO and has opened up to the idea more in recent weeks, AllThingsD reports.
Mulally is no stranger to Washington, where Microsoft is located, having worked in the state for Seattle-based Boeing Commercial Airplanes as CEO years ago. He also recently was an adviser to Ballmer in an effort to realign the company's management structure to help it become more competitive in a fast-changing computer hardware and software market. And when Ford developed its Sync digital interface, it tapped Microsoft to provide the operating system, Microsoft Auto. Perhaps the least crucial connection - but nonetheless an important one - is that Mulally still owns a house in the Seattle area, and it's been said he wants to return there, according to AllThingsD.
A main challenge Microsoft's next CEO will face is how to manage the company's numerous, fractured operations and, eventually, streamline them. But even on this front, Mulally has experience; after all, it was he who ushered in an era of global Ford vehicles, after the automaker had become complacent developing and selling vehicles by region leading up to the economic recession of 2008-2009.
