1995 Ford Bronco Xlt Full Size Big Bronco 4x4 5-speed Manual Transmission on 2040-cars
Glenview, Illinois, United States
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. |

Junkyard Gem: 1991 Mercury Capri
Mon, Sep 19 2016Ford has gotten a lot of use out of the Capri name in the United States. First, there was the Lincoln Capri in the 1950s, followed by the Ford Capri Mk1 (which was sold by Mercury dealers in the USA but never actually badged as a Mercury). Then came the 1979-1986 Mercury Capri, built on the very successful Fox Platform and essentially a clone of the Mustang. Finally, in 1991, the Australian Ford Capri came to the United States. Here is an example of this rare car that I spotted in a Northern California self-service yard not long ago. Mechanically speaking, the 1991-1994 Capri was a Mazda 323 under the skin, complete with a member of the same B-series engine family that went into such cars as the Miata and Ford Escort. So, for a few years in the early 1990s, car shoppers who wanted a sporty Mazda convertible could choose between a Miata and a Capri. The Capri had front-wheel-drive, but could be had with factory turbocharging. These cars were reliable and fun, but had a tough time competing with the Miata in the showroom battles. You'll see the occasional example now and then, but most of the 1991-1994 Capris have met the same fate that awaits this one. Related Video:
Cadillac Escalade gets $5,000 discount to ward off Lincoln Navigator
Wed, Nov 8 2017General Motors apparently isn't going to let early good reception for the redesigned Lincoln Navigator steal thunder from its own luxury SUV without a fight. It's offering a $5,000 discount on the purchase or lease of the Cadillac Escalade this month to any buyer who trades in a 1999 or newer Lincoln model, Bloomberg reports. GM spokesman Jim Cain told Bloomberg the incentive is being offered to keep prices competitive for the Escalade. The 2018 Navigator starts at $72,055, compared to $73,995 for the Escalade, but the outgoing version of the Navigator is selling for an average of around $53,000, compared with more than $80,000 on average for the Escalade, he said. The Escalade was the top-selling domestic luxury SUV in October and No. 4 in the segment, according to Motor Intelligence. It far outsold the Navigator, which last saw a refresh in 2015 and a full redesign in 2007. But Ford is hoping to gain back some ground with the new Navigator and updated Expedition, which also trails the Chevrolet Tahoe and Chevy Suburban in its segment. Bloomberg notes that one Morgan Stanley analyst estimates that GM owns a $2 billion annual pretax profit edge in the lucrative luxury sport utility segment. Our recent First Drive review called the new Navigator "far superior to its primary competitor, the Cadillac Escalade."Related Video:
NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs
Mon, 11 Mar 2013It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.
