 "General George" is for sale.
I am a older adult Ford collector and I purchased this Bronco from an elderly gentleman almost a year ago. He used it to pull his small bass boat to the lake. I had intended on keeping it but I have too many Fords (and too many Broncos) and am thinning out the herd.
It has 150,786  original  miles on it. I have only driven it about 75 miles since I have owned it. I have stored it in my shop since.
This California rust free truck (yes... California rust free for you rust belt people) was originally Eddie Bauer green and tan. The paint was excellent except on the hood where like many fords of that era it had begun to peel because it was thin. I had intended on making it into a pre-runner but I have too many projects
 Carfax shows it to have been in a "minor accident" on the left front about seven years ago.. ..I cannot find any evidence of same. The fender/door is original.. there was no filler in it.. there is no evidence of it ever being off the truck that I can find.. the paint all matches and all the screws or bolts appear to have never been removed. When I queried EBAY/Carfax on this they said it could have been anything like vandalism and didn't necessarily reflect any accident. Again..I cant find any evidence of it . The truck drives,to me, like new. Drives straight pulls strong no smoke etc.

The prior owner had put a nice Alpine AM-FM CD player in it. The truck does not appear to have been smoked in . The high back Eddie Bauer cloth seats and interior are in excellent condition, without rips, tears or any unusual wear. The carpet is excellent  and has no stains or heavy wear.The seats have the correct rear map pocket option  The center console is excellent and without wear.The A/C blows cold and everything works. The rear window goes up and down like new. All the gaskets are excellent. It has KYB dual shocks on the front (factory ford dual shock bracket option) and single KYB's on the rear. The truck was bone stock before I lightly modded it. The only non factory thing the prior owner did to it was install a push button start switch. I assume the ignition switch didn't work at some point. The auto pointer is also non functional. I never took it apart to fix it as it doesn't affect operation whatsoever. The truck drives like new. I carefully inspected it top to bottom. . There are no scrapes on the under carriage/skid plates confirming the prior owners assertion that the truck was never off road, I doubt it's been in 4 x 4 its entire life. The truck passed smog easily and cleanly after I replaced a leaking vacuum line (which they initially failed it for). The engine is bone stock and has not been modified in anyway. The rear driveshaft has been upgraded by driveline specialties. The title is clear and the registration is current. It has the factory tow package.

I will not be driving the truck and it will arrive with the same mileage as advertised

I have looked at the other Broncos with similar mileage and know what the dealers do to them.. clear spray the engine compartments, spray black paint on  the frames, put shiny stuff everywhere giving the illusion that the truck is detailed,, yuck,,,,  I didn't do any of that because this truck is clean and if you didn't know the mileage you would think it had 50k on it not 150k.. its cleaner than the "low milers"  advertised on here

I have done the following to it;

It has a military theme to it;

Every single fluid, (oil ,trans, brake, radiator, diffs, transfer case) and all filters were professionally changed out or flushed and refilled on the truck.
Installed new front premium super stop pads on it (the existing pads were at 40 percent)
Replaced the original wheels and tires with (5) Hankook 31 x 10.50 x 15 radials all terrains on MB 72 8 hole  aluminum wheels (flat black) with locks on all wheels and spare, blackwall out, black powdercoated lug nuts and caps... these have zero miles on them. The front wheel wells have "big mudder" (not depicted in pictures) mud flaps. I did not drill any holes in the truck and everything bolts up to factory holes. The original stainless wheel well moldings were removed but will be included). I even looked at little details like where the rear tire carrier rubber bumper hits the body and put an aluminum wear plate. This keeps the rubber snubber from wearing the tailgate
The truck was extensively machine and hand sanded. There is a an aggregate golf-ball sized amount of filler on the entire truck used to fill a couple of small dings. The truck was then painted with two coats of epoxy primer (super tough) and then two coats of Military CARC 686 desert tan from Rapcoparts. It was painted by a shop that paints military and industrial shop equipment. It isn't a show quality paint job but it is excellent. Every piece that would unbolt was removed from the truck and prepped and painted separately. All the plastic pieces were removed and weren't "painted around". it isn't a "quickie look good" job.. it was done correctly. The paint is only a week old.
The front and rear bumpers were removed and the chrome was sandblasted to give tooth for the paint. The front bumper was shaved prerunner style and then carefully reinforced. If you didnt know what a stock bumper looks like you would never know this had been modified. The rear bumper was reinforced and two 10k d-rings were added.
All the light bulbs on the truck were changed out to Sylvania "HID style" and are brand new.They throw a nice bright white light
The truck has a brand new premium oversize battery.
The rear taillights were changed out to new Revco smoked versions (the original ones will be included in the truck)
I installed a brand new custom headliner "bearpaw" brown, all interior light lenses are excellent or new
I will include a set of tire chains for the truck. It will come with several sets of keys.
Brand new desert camo tire cover.

( I reserve the right to add matching chocolate chip desert camo seat covers to match the above tire carrier.. they arrived but did not fit correctly at time of auction and have been sent back to be re-made... since Im dealing with non-Americans I have no idea when they might come back..no promises here.. but if they come back in time for the sale and they fit correctly they will go with the truck)

I have done everything I can think of to represent the truck accurately. Again you can have anyone you like look it over.

If you have been looking for that special Bronco this is the one. I doubt there are many left in the US in such great condition. I realize buying a truck sight unseen from perhaps across the country is difficult. Please message me through EBAY with your phone number and I will be happy to call you and we can speak about any questions you might have.

I will cooperate with any shipper or any person you would like to have view the truck on your behalf.
I am in Redding California, close to the 5 freeway, up in the tip of Northern California

Full payment by cashiers check via Fedex or UPS within seven days of auction end less 500.00 deposit via paypal within 48 hours of auction end. Truck must be picked up within 14 days or by mutual arrangement. Im sure you would want it right away and I dont want the responsibility of storing what you own.


I reserve the right to sell locally if no bids.. all bids will be honored. I have many pictures of the truck before it was painted,,, including ones that show the sides and how straight the truck is.


The CARFAX score of 19 is bogus in my opinion.. this truck had one minor accident that didnt even require sheet metal removal . and one failed smog for a vacuum hose with a pinhole.. I am the fourth owner

People keep sending me questions as to what the truck needs mechanically ...it needs nothing.. I  would drive it across the country without hesitation

Radical RXC is a Mustang-hearted racecar for the road

Fri, May 30 2014

Radical has been building fantastic open-cockpit racers and roadcars for years, for the track day enthusiast who wants a vehicle that looks like it could show up for a start at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The company's latest creation is the RXC, and while this coupe looks like a prototype racer, it's road legal in the UK and in some parts of the US. When testing a car this, um, radical, the first thought is likely to get it to the track for some big slides and wide open acceleration, but XCar Films takes the opposite approach in its latest video to learn how this racer fares on public roads. The version tested here is the standard RXC with the 3.7-liter V6 out of the Ford Mustang tuned to 350 horsepower with a seven-speed sequential gearbox; but Radical also offers the same engine with 380-hp, a 454-hp Ford EcoBoost 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6, or even a 500-hp V8. Even in the most basic guise, it's a handful to control in the wet, if this video is any indication. The cliche of a road-legal racecar is bandied around a lot in the motoring world, but it truly applies to the RXC. The only problem with seeing the RXC exclusively on the road is that it can never really open up and show its full potential. This racer is indeed chomping at the bit to rocket off into the horizon, but all those pesky road safety laws hold it back. Still, the video is a chance to get a better impression about this thoroughbred sports car. Scroll down to check it out. This content is hosted by a third party.

Hennessey completes first VelociRaptor SUV conversion [w/video]

Mon, 20 May 2013

Start with a Ford F-150 SVT Raptor as your base vehicle for modification, and chances are high that you'll end up with something pretty cool. Now, have those modifications done by professional lunatics Hennessey Performance, make the project turning the pickup into an ultra-long SUV, and the result stands a real chance of being a total kick in the ass. Let us present the Hennessey VelociRaptor then, in all of its awesomeness.
Hennessey has taken care in grafting a "Expedition style" rear cabin onto the Raptor, complete with an optional third row. The pictures we have show a cabin that's up to the fit and finish standards of the original Ford truck, too. The cab added over the bed also makes room for a massive load space out back, accessible via split out-folding doors and long enough for a person to lay down in (see video).
Mechanically, the truck-turned-SUV sticks with Ford's stock 6.2-liter V8, rated at 411 horsepower, or can be had with a supercharger and some 600 hp. Hennessey says the stock-motor VelociRaptor will run from 0-60 miles per hour in 7.5 seconds, while the hi-po version takes just 5.9 seconds. The SUV does take some of the off-road ability away from the Raptor, with the company saying it hasn't yet had the opportunity to test its capabilities. On-roading and "moderate off-road duties" are the current prescription.

New Forza 6 car pack will let you race the Pontiac Aztek

Fri, Jan 29 2016

Just in time for this weekend's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona, the new Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6 on the Xbox One lets you slip into the driver's seat of last year's winner. If you want to take something much weirder for a spin, the collection also includes a 2005 Pontiac Aztek. The download is available now for $6.99. The Ford #02 Chip Ganassi Racing Riley Mk XXVI Daytona was in a four-car battle early in last year's race, but it eventually was victorious. Forza Motorsport 6 also challenges drivers who download the car to a new Rivals event around Daytona, and the fastest people could win Alpinestars prizes. If you're nostalgic for a classic Daytona racecar, this pack includes Mercury #15 Whistler Radar Cougar XR-7. The V8-powered beast won the IMSA GTO class in the 24-hour event in 1990. It should be fun around the game's longer road courses like Road Atlanta. This collection also has an eclectic mix of vehicles that aren't racecars. The controversial Aztek and the equally-controversial 1996 Subaru SVX take their places beside a lineup that offers drivers three eras of performance cars – a 1967 Sunbeam Tiger, 1974 Toyota Corolla SR5, and 1992 Alfa Romeo Milano Quadrifoglio Verde. The video below shows all of them in action. Race to the Finish Line with the Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6 By Xbox Wire Staff posted on January 27, 2016 at 8:00 am With the racing season set to kick into full gear during this weekend's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona race, Forza fans now have a chance to get their own taste of endurance racing glory with the Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6, available on Thursday, Jan. 28. Leading off the pack of seven cars is last year's 24 Hours of Daytona winner, the 2015 Ford #02 Chip Ganassi Racing Riley Mk XXVI Daytona Prototype. The prototype will be fielded in this weekend's race, which begins at 2 p.m. EST on Saturday, Jan. 30 and can be viewed live on Fox Sports 1 in the U.S. The Alpinestars Car Pack features six additional cars, each with a unique pedigree all its own. From the 1990 Mercury #15 Whistler Radar Cougar XR-7 – also a competitor in Daytona 24 Hour events of years past – to the inimitable 2005 Pontiac Aztek (famous more for its fictional owner than its performance), this pack has something for every kind of car fan. Forza Motorsport 6 is the only game where players can drive last year's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona winner on the recently remodeled Daytona International Speedway.
