Up for bid is this nice 1978 Ford Bronco Ranger XLT.  It has NO RUST, and no bondo or filler that we have found.  AZ 4X4, has a 351 Cleveland with approx 20K miles on the motor.  The odometer reads 74,221, however those miles are actually unknown, as it was owned prior to my dad.   The vehicle runs excellent, fires right up with no problems and travels great on the highway.  The rebuilt 351 Cleveland was installed in 2004, and has only had 20k miles put on since.  As you can see, it does not get driven much and averages 2k miles per year. It is not a Salvage title, it is a class C title which means actual miles unknown.  It could possibly be 74k original miles, but its not known.  It does have new door panels, new carpet, and new visors.    The four wheel drive works, and there are no issues with the running gear. It had new U-Joints installed front and rear in Oct 2012, along with a new rear drive shaft.  In Jan of 2012 it had a new cap, rotor, points, and condensor installed, and in Feb 2011 it had new plugs and wires.  This year its had a new battery box installed, new windshield washer container and pump.  Chrome valve covers, Edlebrock intake, carb, and air cleaner.  4” lift with Bridgestone 33x12.50x15 tires at 75% tread.  The vehicle has very minor leaks, occasionally you will see a drip from the tranny, or a small drip from the oil pan, but it does not have actual leaks that need fixed or that cause the vehicle to have to replace fluids constantly.  It has MM locking hubs, Dual exhaust with flow masters (sounds awesome), the belts and hoses are all in great shape.  It does not have a radio or a CD player in it, the dash has never been cut or altered to have stereo system installed (rare).  There is no backseat in this Bronco.  It does have a spare tire in the back, but obviously no spare tire carrier on the back, please see photos.  It does have the original dash, which does have cracks in it, also note that it does have a split bench seat, with a tear in the seat on the drivers side.  The rear window is electric, it does work, however it needs a new switch.  Prior to listing the window was tested, it does work, again just needs a new switch.  There are very minute small dings on the vehicle, however there is one actual dent on the drivers side door, very small dent, please see photots.  Also the rear bumper does have a small dent as well.  The bronco has small paints chips, especially behind each tire from rocks on the highway.  On the front there is a chrome brush guard, all the lights work with the exception of the dome light, it just needs a new bulb.  The side windows on the shell are both sliders, and there are various spare/extra interior parts that will come with the vehicle.  On the rear bumper it is missing a license plate light.  The wheels are aluminum, 10” wide, and in good shape.  It does not have AC, even though it is AC compatible, and the heater works.  Again this is not a salvage title, which is a hard thing to find on these older vehicles.  It has NO RUST!!! AZ vehicle well taken care of and maintained!!! For someone looking to do a full restore this is the one!!!     This Bronco is bad to the bone off road, I would highly recommend putting an experienced off road driver behind the wheel!!! The 351 Cleveland has an extreme amount of power!!!

Watch how Ford torture-tested the 2015 F-150

Wed, 09 Apr 2014

The Ford F-150 has been the best-selling truck in the United States for the past 37 years, and the best-selling vehicle outright for the past 32. That's quite a legacy, and thus, it's no surprise that Ford worked super-duper-extra hard on creating the all-new, aluminum-bodied 2015 F-150 that debuted at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.
During an event at the company's headquarters in Dearborn, MI this week, we were able to see all of the ways that Ford endurance tests, not just the new F-150, but all of its vehicles. From examining things like light exposure to interior materials and paint finishes, to making sure that corrosion absolutely does not happen when steel components come in contact with aluminum panels in the new truck. The goal: ensure that the new F-150 is nothing short of "Built Ford Tough."
But that's only a small part of the story. Of course, the new F-150 has to be able to withstand whatever a pickup buyer might throw at it - and truck buyers arguably demand the most from their vehicles. So in an effort to convey just what the new F-150 had to go through before being given the final go-ahead, Ford has released a series of videos, showing how its new halo truck was indeed torture tested.

Ford auctioning off F-35-themed 2015 Mustang for charity

Wed, 16 Jul 2014

Ford's been a supporter of EAA AirVenture, a huge, annual air show held in Oshkosh, WI, for several years now, with one of its most notable contributions being a modified Ford Mustang, designed to look like one of America's great fighting aircraft. There was an SR-71 Mustang, based on the legendary spy plane, a Red Tails edition, which honored the ground-breaking Tuskegee Airmen of World War II, as well as Blue Angels and Thunderbird Mustangs, based on America's two great military aerial demonstration teams.
Each car is auctioned off, with all proceeds going to the EAA Young Eagles program, which introduces kids to the joy of flight. For the 2014 AirVenture, which runs from July 28 to August 3, the one-off pony car is based on the new-for-2015 Mustang, and America's latest fighting aircraft - the controversial F-35 Lightning II.
The unique Mustang sports titanium paint scheme, with both glossy and matte sections, as well as yellow-and-blue trim and decal elements inspired by CF-1, the first F-35 test plane. A carbon-fiber front splitter and rear diffuser add some visual eye candy, while the interior boasts a set of Recaro seats. Ford also opted to fit unique wheels and a brawnier rear spoiler, to tie everything together.

Ford to hack $4k off price of Focus EV amid slow sales

Wed, 10 Jul 2013

Between slow sales and a hefty price drop for its nearest rival, the Ford Focus Electric may be looking at a pretty substantial price cut. The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will drop the price of the all-electric by about $4,000 to $35,200 to be more competitive with the Nissan Leaf, which received a big price cut for 2013 down to $28,800.
Ford has already admitted to having low expectations for the car's sales and massive rebates were reported earlier in the year, but there is still no official word from Ford on this matter. The company's consumer site still lists the 2014 model's starting price as $39,200. In addition to the Leaf, the Focus Electric will also have to deal with the lower prices of smaller EVs including the Honda Fit EV, Fiat 500e and the Chevrolet Spark EV.
