      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!

Watch Vaughn Gittin Jr. hit the ice in his 2015 Mustang RTR

Thu, Mar 19 2015

There's more than one way to get a car to drift. You can set up a purpose-built drift car. Or you can put a car on a slick surface. But in this case, Vaughn Gittin Jr. has done both. In this latest video, the driftmeister extraordinaire reveals the new livery for his 2015 Ford Mustang RTR, and put it on a frozen track, flanked by snow banks. It's the perfect place to drift any car, and this custom pony car could very well be the perfect drifter. Call it a match made in heaven. A cold, frozen-over slice of heaven where rear-drive muscle cars put on one heck of a show. Gittin, for those unfamiliar, is one of the drifting scene's foremost showmen, and like Ken Block or Tanner Foust, he competes primarily in Blue Oval machinery. Vaughn will be challenging the Formula Drift series once again in the Mustang RTR, but whether the sideways-driving championship is coming to a circuit near you or not, you can scope out a piece of the action right here.

Watch how Ken Block spent his weekend in Barbados

Thu, 22 May 2014

Regardless of what you think of his skill as a racer, Ken Block is an expert showman. At this point, he has a career of showing up around the world to do vehicular stunts, and he's still able to go racing as well. It's a pretty sweet niche to carve out. Recently, Block was in Barbados to participate in Top Gear Live and the first event of the Global Rallycross Championship season, and Ford Racing produced a short video to show off his exploits.
It looked like a great show. Block got to race Lewis Hamilton in a Mercedes-Benz Formula One car and had a very weird crash during a Rallycross race that put his Ford Fiesta on its roof. Top Gear also released an extended look at Block and Hamilton's spectacle with the two of them expertly sliding around. Scroll down to watch the videos and get a taste of Block's tropical racing adventure.

Meet Floyd Pullin, 102-year-old honorary president of Ford trucks [w/video]

Wed, 28 Aug 2013

When we talk about trucks we often talk about how loyal truck owners are; it's men like Floyd Pullin who provide the proof. The 102-year-old man from Confluence, Pennsylvania has only owned Ford products since the 1920s, and he's done so well by Ford Trucks that the division named him honorary president for a day, not long after he took delivery of his latest ride, a 2013 F-150 STX.
That's the 16th Ford he's owned. If he bought his first when he was 16, he'd have flipped into a new car or truck about every five years. For 86 years. Not a bad run of business for either side.
Ford Trucks made a video to wish Pullin a happy birthday, which was celebrated at his local Ford dealership and was visited by a Pennsylvania state senator. You can watch it below.
