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!!!

Ford tries to get a better handle on what EV drivers want
Thu, Aug 6 2015Ford says more than nine out of 10 electric-vehicle drivers indicate that their current EV won't be their last. Which is a good thing. Given the Blue Oval's most recent green-car sales, that next EV purchase couldn't come soon enough. The automaker took a poll of 10,000 electric-vehicle owners in the US and found that, among other things, more than 80 percent either already have or are considering installing solar panels to enable off-the-grid vehicle charging from home. Less surprising, these drivers use their smartphones to do things like check the car's battery charge and remotely turn on or off their cars' air-conditioning or heating systems before setting off on a drive. Of course, these folks want a little bit more from their smartphone apps. Most handy would be a public charging station locator as well as the ability to reserve and pay for electric charging sessions in advance. And more fast-charging stations appear to be in store, as almost half of the battery-electric vehicle drivers use conventional 110-volt outlets to charge their vehicles at home. Ford is hoping that these repeat-driver indicators bode for good things in the future. Last month, the automaker sold almost 5,800 hybrids, plug-in hybrids, and battery-electric vehicles in the US. That was down 27 percent from a year earlier. Notably, Ford Focus Electric sales dropped 32 percent from a year earlier to just 135 units, and have fallen 16 percent for the year. It's not just Ford that's facing difficulties. US plug-in vehicle sales overall dropped 22 percent from a year earlier to about 8,600 units.

NHTSA opens investigation into Ford Explorer PI brakes
Wed, 27 Aug 2014This year more than most, it's pleasant when we can string together a few days without word of an automaker or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announcing a bunch of new recalls. It's seemingly been a little quiet on this front lately (barring a spider-related Suzuki issue revealed early today), but now we have word of the government safety agency opening a Preliminary Evaluation into the 2013 Ford Explorer Police Interceptor, a probe that could potentially affect an estimated 20,000 vehicles.
The issue being investigated concerns failures of the front brake hose on the vehicle that show "small splits in the hoses near the body side ferrule of the hose assembly," according to the agency, and the issue could result in longer stopping distances. The feds have reports of 13 malfunctions affecting 11 Explorer units. However, it's important to note that all of the incidents come from a single, unnamed metropolitan police fleet that operates 46 of them. According to The Detroit News, the failures generally took place between December and July.
NHTSA is investigating further to find if this is a more widespread issue than just this one fleet. Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker confirmed to us, "We are cooperating with NHTSA on this investigation, as we always do." Scroll down to read the agency's report.
2015 Ford F-150 to get 2.7-liter EcoBoost?
Mon, 30 Dec 2013As we prepare for the arrival of the all-new, next-generation Ford F-150, rumors about the new truck are picking up steam. Naturally, many of said rumors aren't just related to the way the truck will look (it's expected to take design cues from the Atlas concept shown above), they're tied to what's going to motivate the Blue Oval mainstay, with Ford's EcoBoost range likely to play an increasingly key role. While we're still expecting the current 3.5-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 to retain its position as a premium alternative to Ford's naturally aspirated V6 and V8, a Canadian automotive news site is proposing that the Dearborn automaker is also preparing a new, more fuel-efficient downsized EcoBoost option.
Autos.ca is reporting that a new, 2.7-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 could find its way into the lighter, aluminum-intensive truck. The new engine supposedly makes use of asymmetrical turbos to generate 320 horsepower and 370 pound-feet of torque - substantially more impressive numbers than the current 3.7-liter base engine's 302 ponies and 278 lb-ft - while offering improved fuel economy and emissions. The new 2.7 EcoBoost (internally dubbed "Nano") isn't expected to supplant the naturally aspirated V6 as the F-150's base engine, it's expected to slot in above directly it.
Naturally, we're prescribing more than a few grains of salt to go with these rumors, at least until Ford debuts the next F-150 at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, a reveal we'll be covering in a mere two weeks.
