1979 Ford Bronco 4x4

Hello,

  I would like to introduce myself. My name is Dan Profitt and I am an avid motorsport enthusiast and have been playing with cars, trucks, and other toys for over 22 years. I am not a dealer and I am not a "flipper" in the traditonal sense. When I see something of interest, I try my best to buy it, maybe play with it, maybe add to it, or maybe just sell it and market it to the correct crowd.

  That being said, this is one of the nicest 79 Bronco's you will find on the planet! There are not too many people that have been taking the time and spending the big money on restorations of old Ford trucks. This particular Bronco restoration started out as a 99 percent rust free example and is now truly stunning! The paint, trim and body are awesome! I have pictures of the truck in various states of the restoration for the new owner. Now this is not a 100 point truck as it still could use a few items here and there to make it perfect, but any new owner always wants to change or improve a new toy! The Bronco has been driven about 2,000 miles since to complete body off restoration. It is lifted with large tires and wheels, so it does not drive like a Cadillac and is not quiet like a Cadillac by any stretch. It is rude and crude as 70's engineering dictated!

  I have attached 76 high resolution photos for you to take a look at. Below is a quick list of details of the good and the bad, but I will let the pictures do the talking in this case. Please remember that I just aquired this Bronco, so I am sure I will miss some things, but you will get the point. Please remember that restorations like this do not come around often and if you try and restore one or hire one out yourself, well you know you can spend 40K in a heartbeat.

  • Aprrox 2,000 miles on complete restoration
  • Most all componants new or rebuilt
  • Rebuilt (w/shift kit) C6 trans
  • Completely rebuilt 460 .30 over (Heads are stock spec, but cleaned up)
  • Aluminum intake
  • Holly 650 dual feed
  • Rebuilt NP 205 transfer case
  • Rebuilt 9 Inch rear axle
  • Rebuilt Dana 44 front axle
  • 4:10 gear ratio front and rear
  • Mickey Thompson 15x12 Classics
  • Mickey Thompson Baja Radial 36x14.5x15
  • New carpet
  • New seats
  • New trim
  • New radiator
  • New heater core
  • New windshield
  • New 6 Inch lift
  • New bumpers
  • Top is has been smoothed
  • New ceramic coated headers and exhaust
  • Frame has been powder coated

  The few things that need attention are:

  • Steering wheel could use a new center piece or replaced.
  • Heater does not work. Most of the system is new, but does need some work.
  • Gas gauge does not work. Tank and sending unit were new. I was told power is still to the sending unit, so it is expected that it may have failed.
  • Radio is present, but not hooked up. You could not hear it anyway over the tires, exhaust, electric fuel pump, and general road noise!
  • Switch on dash for rear glass does not work, the rear on the gate does.
  • Could use two exhaust hangers fabricated and the end of the run.

  Now for the boring stuff! The Bronco will not leave my possesion until full complete payment has been made and cleared. No exceptions! I will take certified funds or a wire transfer, but as I mentioned, a certified check will need to clear 5 business days before the Bronco leaves! The buyer is responsible for shipping and the cost associated. I will assist with making sure the Bronco is safley loaded. The Bronco is currently tucked away safe and it is not super easy to gain access to, so needless to say I will have to pre-qualify potential buyers before any inspections. I encourage you to look at it in person or have a third party perform an inspection at your cost, but please be serious. I will not disclose my reserve and I am not interested in any trades, just cash! Please let me kow if you have any questions and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Obviously there is no warranty expressed or implied. If you have no feedback or feedback under 10, please contact me before bidding. Now....Please enjoy the pictures!

Lincoln trumpets $129M investment, 300 new jobs in Louisville for MKC

Tue, 26 Aug 2014

Remember when we used to talk about how close Lincoln was to being axed and how it seemed any day now the Grim Reaper would use it as a car service back to the grave? Last time we did it was, oh, not even a month ago. What a difference 27 days makes: Ford and Lincoln are trumpeting a $129M investment in the Louisville Assembly Plant that builds the MKC.
In July the MKC was the third-best-selling Lincoln of the brand's six offerings, beat by the MKZ and - by a much smaller margin - the MKX. It has sold 2,895 units in the two months it's been on sale, which is more than half the year-to-date sales of the MKS, MKT and Navigator. It's already important, is what we're trying to say, and this is before the Chinese market gets a crack at it later this year.
The money headed to Kentucky will be joined by 300 new workers, another marker in Ford's march to create 12,000 hourly jobs in the US by next year. You can read more about it in the press release below.

2015 Ford Mustang production to begin on July 14? Not quite, says Ford

Thu, 10 Jul 2014

Mustang6g.com believes that it has unlocked start date for 2015 Ford Mustang production citing a Ford dealer communiqué. According to the report, job one on the 2015 hardtop will allegedly start in just a few days, on July 14, although units that are known as "OK to Buy" won't enter production until September 9. The cars built between those dates are most likely final pre-production cars for the executive test fleet, and will likely include the cars we'll be driving at the media launch.
Sun worshippers, meanwhile, would seem to have a longer wait. Job one on the droptop supposedly isn't slated to start until September 14, with production models starting on October 27. As is the case with the hardtop, these final pre-pros are for the execs and media to test, while actual dealer orders will come from vehicles made after the October date.
After speaking to Ford, though, we wouldn't put a great deal of stock in those dates as reported. We reached out to Said Deep, Ford's North American Product Communications Manager.

'84 MotorWeek Cherokee, Bronco and Blazer comparison indulges your SUV nostalgia

Fri, Jan 16 2015

These days, truck-based, full-frame SUVs are somewhat of a rarity on the auto landscape due to the rapid rise in popularity of easier-driving, car-based crossovers. Although, without the gradually building popularity of these chunky, high-riding vehicles decades ago, it's unlikely that America's roads would be filled with so many CUVs today. In its latest dig into the archives, MotorWeek has found a 1984 comparison test of a trio of these early Sport Utility Wagons, as long-time host John Davis called them, that helped get acceptance of this segment going. This is a red, white and blue test of the SUVs from American automakers at the time and pits the Chevrolet Blazer, Ford Bronco and Jeep Cherokee (specifically in Wagoneer guise) against each other. Driving manners and interior usability are considered in the evaluation, but Motorweek actually takes these vehicles off road, too. Among the bigger revelations is the improvement in on-road ability in the past 30 years. While specific 0-60 times aren't given, all three models take around 10 seconds just to get to around 50 miles per hour in the 500-feet on-ramp acceleration test. Check out this clip to see just how far this segment has progressed in the past three decades or just get a blast of nostalgia from these now vintage models.
