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 S-Max Concept proves minivans aren't always minivans [w/video]

Tue, 10 Sep 2013

Ford's latest don't-call-it-a-minivan is called the S-Max Concept, and it's a looker. As you can see, the conceptual overgrown hatch makes good use of Ford's latest design language, especially at the very front of the S-Max, which bears a striking resemblance to production models that include the Focus, C-Max and Fusion.
Powering the S-Max Concept is a 1.5-liter EcoBoost engine, and while Ford doesn't actually list power figures for the concept, previous estimates put the mill at 133 kW of power (about 178 horsepower) and 240 Nm of torque (about 177 pound-feet). Inside, there's room for seven passengers and at least some of their luggage.
As you'd expect, the S-Max is loaded up with all of Ford's latest infotainment technology, including Sync and MyFordTouch. More interestingly, there are also onboard heart and blood glucose monitors that we doubt will be seeing the light of production anytime soon. On that topic, don't expect to see any S-Max-shaped vehicles hitting the US market from Ford, either. Scroll down below for the press release, but not before checking out the high-res image gallery above.

10 automakers shack up in Detroit hotel to talk Takata airbags

Sun, Dec 14 2014

Since Takata has decided not to take the lead concerning potential issues with its airbag inflators, the automakers have. Perhaps that's unsurprising, since it's the automakers, not Takata, that will take a beating on the dealership floor if consumers decide its models are a health hazards. The Detroit News reports that Toyota, Honda, General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Mazda, BMW, Nissan, Mitsubishi and Subaru met in a hotel conference room near the Detroit Metropolitan Airport last week to sort out a way to understand the technical issues involved. So far, faulty airbag inflators have been ruled the cause of five deaths and 50 injuries around the world, but neither Takata nor investigators understands exactly why the inflators are malfunctioning. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recently asked Takata to issue a national recall, Takata declined, citing a minuscule failure rate and the fact that it's still investigating the issue. Toyota and Honda then made an industry-wide appeal for "a coordinated, comprehensive testing program" that would pinpoint the problem inflators and get them replaced, and that's what the Detroit meeting was about. Numerous issues, however, will make this a long row to hoe: simply getting the parts to replace the nearly 20 million inflators in cars recalled around the world so far - even working with other suppliers - will take a years, but more importantly, no one knows if the replacement inflators currently being installed will suffer the same issue. Answers will hopefully come quickly with Takata, the ten automakers and NHTSA all independently investigating the problem.

Introducing the 1965 Ford Mustang

Sat, 24 Aug 2013

Put on your space suits and diving bell helmets, for it's time to step into a time capsule. The 50th anniversary of a historic model, like, say, the Porsche 911 this year, is certain to bring flights of nostalgia. This historical trip with the 1965 Mustang, though - preliminary hype for next year's anniversary, we know - is a swell museum exhibit for anyone who enjoys bygone days of the automobile.
Lee Iaccoca gave a speech to motoring journalists on April 1, 1964 at the New York World's Fair to introduce a sporty car for younger drivers. His opening line: "Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to one of the proudest moments of our lives." The company was so excited by what it had made that the Mustang was Ford's first "International Press Introduction," being introduced to some 2,000 journos around the world on the same day in the US and 11 European cities. Even through its difficult points, no one at the time could have known how well the Mustang would acquit that pride.
After the intro, the press drove Mustangs 750 miles from New York to Dearborn, MI, reading press kits that touted features like the "vertical, three-sectional taillights/turn signals," "170" six-cylinder engine with 101 horsepower and the available Cruise-O-Matic transmission.
