This is my 1995 Ford Bronco XLT Full Size big Bronco 4x4 5-speed manual transmission...this Bronco is mechanically excellent, sound body with mininal dings and areas of rust...see photos. Black exterior with a gray interior. I purchased this to do a restoration. It was a Colorado truck by way of Dallas Tx when I purchased. It has some dings and paint needs attention but very presentable and drivable as is. It does have one area of rust that has finally taken hold on the left rear fender (as seen in photos). However, it is not yet "rotted" thru as the inside lip feels solid. the other areas you see are truly surface. It has NONE of the usual Bronco rust rot issues that you usually see. All is solid except as noted and very much a candidate for either full restoration or just inexpensive cosmetic touch up and driving. Mechanically I did everything to this car so that should not need any attention other than continued regular maintenance. When I got it in 2011, I did all fluids, belts, hoses ignition wiring and so forth. It has a completely replaced ignition and starting system from the battery to the starter...like new tires and so forth. The minor issues it has is the dash light for airbag blinks (4-2 I think) and the cable is stretching on the driver inside door handle opener but it works...I would replace but dont have the money...I would not be selling if I didnt need the money. The Air Conditiong works great. Heat works great. The rear window work great (only from the key in the door but not the dash switch)...The 5 speed (4 plus overdrive) manual transmission I had taken out and had it gone over and brought up to spec and replaced the clutch...pressure plate and throwout bearing...it gets 14 miles to the gallon...Bronco owners will appreciate that as Broncos can usually go at 9 mpg. I had all the brakes, rotor discs, fluid, lines and so on replaced or at least checked. Any questions let me know. Also, I wanted to mention, I only use synthetic oil and it does not leak or burn oil, the rear door and window work!, and you will see that the lower driver's side dash seems to be not installed...that is because I had removed an old alarm system and forgot to reinstall the fuse door and the panel screws but took the pictures anyway...its all good now. Very reliable and well maintained truck. Buy it and drive it anywhere and do the cosmetics at your leisure without the usual "pig in a poke" discovery of basic running gear that needs replacing. This one is solid.

And I DO RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END AUCTION EARLY AS I HAVE IT LISTED LOCALLY. Thanks for looking.

Ken Block is at it again in Gymkhana 6

Mon, 11 Nov 2013

If there's one thing we'll say about Ken Block and his latest installment in the Gymkhana family, it's that it's far more structured than previous videos, but that doesn't mean it skimps on the entertainment. Block is on a purpose-built course which was touted as "The... Ultimate... Gymkhana... Grid... Course" in last week's preview. Unlike Gymkhana 5, which took placed on closed streets in San Francisco, this course seems much more compact.
Block has an entire array of challenges to tackle in his 650-horsepower Ford Fiesta ST, and none of them look particularly easy. In fact, we'd argue that Gymkhana 6's grid course requires much more precise driving that previous titles. There are Segways, Lamborghinis and massive pieces of construction equipment that all must be dealt with.
We've got the entire 6:28 of Gymkhana madness for you down below. Scroll down for the video and then hit Comments and let us know how this installment compares to previous Block works.

Ford spills SEMA all over its Expeditions

Sat, 01 Nov 2014

If you're going to this year's SEMA Show in Las Vegas, it's going to be tough to miss the Ford booth, simply for its size. The Blue Oval is bringing over a dozen customized examples of the 2015 Mustang and a quintet of modded Transits. The latest announced addition is a trio of upgraded 2015 Expeditions showing different takes on the recently refreshed SUV.
Any vehicle tuned by Dub Magazine needs to ride on massive wheels, and the Expedition (pictured above) that it has for SEMA is no exception. The SUV has 26-inch Dropstars wheels wrapped in Pirelli tires, and, making them look even larger, the suspension is also lowered. The rest of the custom has some mild upgrades like mesh grilles in front, tinted windows, an integrated radar detector and new upholstery inside.
Tijn wants to boost the performance of the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 for its take on the Expedition. The company claims to add 40 horsepower to bring total output to a claimed 405 by upgrading the engine with a charge cooler from Vortech Engineering, a custom side exhaust and a custom tune. To match the extra grunt, the SUV also gets bigger brakes, an Air Lift suspension and 24-inch, copper-colored wheels with custom fender flares.

New car market raining on convertibles' parade

Mon, 08 Jul 2013

Whether fitted with soft or hard folding lids, today's droptops are better than ever for year-round motoring. Advancements in power top mechanisms, sealing, aerodynamics, structural rigidity, rollover safety and creature comforts like heated and cooled seats mean that modern convertibles are more versatile and better to drive than ever before. Yet the segment's sales took a dive during the recession and haven't come back, Automotive News reports.
Part of that is because automakers are looking at today's more sensible buyers and simply not developing as many new models, and that lack of fresh iron is curbing sales. AN cites R.L. Polk data which notes that only about one percent of new vehicles registered in the US last year had tops that folded. Back in 2009, it was 1.4 percent, and it was 2 percent in 2006. All-in, some 151,636 convertibles were registered in 2012. That's more units more than were registered in each of the past three years, but the market has also grown as the economy has picked up speed, and as a percentage of new vehicles purchased, convertible sales are lagging.
Thus far in 2013, the Ford Mustang is America's top-selling convertible, with 6,421 units registered through the end of April, followed by its rival, the Chevrolet Camaro, at 4,751 units. The Volkswagen Beetle isn't far behind, with 4,305, but from that point, it's a steep drop off to the fourth-place Mercedes-Benz SL-Class and its 2,380 sales.
