Up for auction is a 1987 FORD BRONCO FULL SIZE WITH THE CUSTOM PACKAGE. The Custom Package comes from the factory as the base model (the most desirable for collectors) and consists of a no-frills interior with rubber flooring, vinyl seats, manual windows, manual door locks, power steering, power disc brakes, air conditioning, a manual four speed transmission, four wheel drive and a power rear window. This Bronco was owned by one of the members of the King family, the owners of the famed King Ranch in South Texas and has his name on the CLEAR TEXAS TITLE, THE TRUCK WAS ORIGINALLY PURCHASED AND HAS ALWAYS LIVED IN DRY SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS. The tires are ALMOST NEW BF GOODRICH ALL TERRAIN TIRES and this truck is IN FANTASTIC SHAPE with the ORIGINAL PAINT ( the clear coat has come off the hood and some of the edges on the body which is typical of silver paint on Fords) , NO RUST, NO WRECKS OR DAMAGE TO THE BODY EVER. You can tell by looking at the chassis of this truck that THIS BRONCO HAS SEEN VERY LITTLE OFF ROAD USE, I was told by Mr. King that the off road use was limited to the dirt roads around the ranch. The truck is a FACTORY CUSTOM PACKAGE which consists of RUBBER FLOORING THAT YOU CAN WASH OUT WITH A WATER HOSE IF YOU CHOOSE TOO, VINYL BUCKET SEATS UP FRONT AND A MATCHING VINYL BENCH SEAT IN THE BACK, POWER STEERING, POWER DISC BRAKES, FOUR WHEEL DRIVE WITH MANUAL LOCKING HUBS, A FOUR SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION, AIR CONDITIONING (blows cold) and AM/FM/ CASSETTE RADIO (stock stereo still works but stock speakers need replacing). Like the exterior of the truck the interior is also in superb condition, there is a tear in the rubber flooring on the passenger side, the stock shifter knob will not tighten down and is somewhat annoying, and the gas gauge works perfectly (when it wants too) but other than that everything works as it should, THE DASH HAS NO CRACKS, and the truck is very comfortable, clean and has no funny smells etc. I have just had $1200.00 of work done on the truck (10/21/13) at Cambridge Automotive, San Antonio's best automotive shop according to AAA. Cambridge did a safety check, serviced the air conditioning, a full lubrication service, a major tune up, a fuel injection service, installed a NEW AC DELCO BATTERY and fixed the rear power window. The invoice for all this recent work come with the sell of the truck and all work and parts are fully warranted for 24 months or 24,000 miles and Cambridge will honor the warranty if the buyer is not from San Antonio. The buyer would just have to take the truck to a AAA approved place of repair and Cambridge will incur any and all cost of work that is under their warranty. The Bronco passed the safety inspection with flying colors and the only thing that was recommended by Cambridge is that the truck may need a new muffler at some point in the near future. The truck still has the original exhaust system on it and although the exhaust system is still fully functional and quiet, Cambridge said that the muffler is old( but it did not NEED to be replaced AT THIS TIME). This Bronco is VERY DEPENDABLE AND SOLID, IT IS A VEHICLE THAT YOU CAN FLY IN AND DRIVE HOME FROM ANYWHERE. The only non-stock items on this Bronco is the BF GOODRICH tires and the RANCH HAND FRONT GRILL GUARD, everything else is BONE FACTORY STOCK. The FOUR WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM WORKS FLAWLESSLY and the FRONT END IS TIGHT WITH NO PLAY OR WANDERING, the BRAKES ARE GOOD AND TRUE AND DO NOT PULL UNDER HARD BRAKING. The way I came to have this Bronco is that I have built multiple 1978-79 Ford Broncos from the ground up and the last one I built was a 1979 that I owned and drove for 12 years. Mr. King bought my 1979 Bronco from me 6 years ago with the understanding that if he ever wanted to sell it that I would have first right of refusal so true to his word Mr. King called me a few months ago and told me he was thinking of selling the 1979 Bronco and asked me if I wanted to buy it back. Of course I was curious and went to look at my old 79 Bronco and when I arrived at Mr. Kings home I noticed this 1987 Bronco also sitting in his shop and made an offer on both Bronco's which he accepted, I am keeping my old friend (the 1979 Bronco that I built all those years ago) and was planning to keep this 1987 Bronco to drive on my ranch in Colorado but after careful consideration I have decided that a truck would better serve me on the ranch and I do not need two Broncos so this 1987 is now up for auction. This Bronco is NOT your typical "ridden hard and put up wet" Bronco, this Bronco has been very well taken care of and it shows throughout the truck. THIS IS A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN ONE OF THE MOST DESIRABLE BRONCOS IN EXISTENCE. THEY JUST DO NOT COME UP FOR SALE IN THIS WONDERFUL STOCK CONDITION WITH THESE OPTIONS. DO NOT LET THIS BRONCO PASS YOU BY, YOU WILL REGRET IT. IF YOU HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THE BEST BRONCO YOU CAN FIND , LOOK NO FURTHER, THIS IS IT !!!!!!! THIS BRONCO ALSO COMES WITH ALL THE ORIGINAL BOOKS, MANUALS, WARRANTY CARDS, TRIM TAG, SERVICE AGREEMENT, ETC. FROM THE FACTORY WHEN THE TRUCK WAS BRAND NEW AND HAS ONLY 109600 ORIGINAL MILES. THIS BRONCO IS PRICED AT HALF THE COST OF ANY COMPARABLE BRONCO ON EBAY, YOU JUST CAN'T GO WRONG WITH THIS ONE. Please checkout my feedback, bid with confidence and bid to win this BEAUTIFUL FACTORY ORIGINAL 1987 FORD BRONCO CUSTOM PACKAGE. Thank you for looking at my auction, be sure to check out my other auctions and as always HAPPY MOTORING. ****A $500.00 NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT IS DUE 24 HOURS AFTER THE CLOSE OF THE AUCTION AND THE REMAINDER OF THE FUNDS ARE DUE WITHIN 7 DAYS OF THE CLOSE OF THE AUCTION.*******

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards

Tue, 27 Nov 2012

Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:

This 2,000-hp Mustang is in serious need of wheelie bars

Tue, 25 Feb 2014

The Ford Mustang on the right is drag racing with the standard technique. The Mustang on the left, driven by David Measell, is using a new "rear bumper only" technique that evidently surprised everyone at the South Georgia Motorsports Park strip - including Measell.
Measell said his outfit just bought the car the week before the event, noting that it has more than 2,000 horsepower. Speaking of his "flying" run, Measell said, "We turned it up to dip on down," by which he meant they turned up the power in order to get his time down. Turns out all that power and all that traction sent the nose straight up into the air almost as soon as the race began.
He told an interviewer afterward that this was his first race in a "regular car" since he normally drives a pro-mod. "I like my wheelie bars," he concluded. You can see how he got there in the video below.

NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.
