This was a Gentlemen's retirement project for me and now it's done. I have another one to work on now, so off it goes to a new owner. This truck has it all, and then some. I've spared no expense in getting it the way I wanted it, putting over $8,000.00 in to the project. I owned a new one in 1996 and wanted to enjoy another one, so I purchased this one. Redone from front to back with all new part's. Mostly upgraded one's at that. New Black factory paint, over previous factory Black paint. Paint was showing signs of fading. I give the paint job a 8.5 out of a possible 10. It does have some minor small scratches for it is a used truck. Unlike most Bronco's, this one has no rust issues that I could find. All doors and window seals have been replaced with new rubber. I replaced the drivers side wing window assembly and glass because it didn't seal correctly. The Tail gate Window was replaced, along with the Window / Tail gate seal's as well. It wouldn't defrost so out it went and the new one installed. A new and bright LED brake and white light was installed as well. New custom installed high intensity lights in the bumper, along with all new Lens both front and rear. The white headlights look super bright, and with the bumper lights really light up the road. All double and triple fused I might add. New grill guard just installed, along with a new Windshield and rubber seal. Truck has a custom Bra on it. All fluids from front to back were just changed, and the Transmission was just serviced. Engine and transmission run strong and smooth, and use's no Oil. I have been able to get almost 15.5 MPG on the Freeway. 4 wheel and 4 wheel low work perfectly and the dash light light's up to indicate so. All new Belt's, new idler arms, new Alternator, new thermostat and new anti-freeze as well, Brand new Costco 800 CCA Battery just installed. Over sized sway bars front and rear for great flat cornering. Four new struts up front, with 2 new shocks in the rear. ( all Gabriel ) Front end alignment just done when the Strut's were replaced. This Truck drives as straight as an Arrow when you take your hand's off the Wheel. I put a custom Class III trailer hitch on the truck for towing. This rig could pull a Boat or Trailer with no problem at all! No check engine lights are on!
I put new Rotors and Pad's on at all four wheels. Four new BFG 265 / 70/ R15 M & S tires, and near perfect factory rims with no road rash. Wheel locks for all four tires and the spare, which is close to new as well. All rims received new center caps and wheel lock's, A new spare tire cover to round out the outside appearance of the truck was put on. Brand new Flowmaster muffler with a polished aluminum tail pipe, which has a great low throaty rumble to it. Not" Kid loud" though! Locking gas cap for the 32 gallon gas tank. Just installed a water pump as well. Engine doesn't use or leak Oil, and the motor is super strong with all new plugs, etc. Fuel injection service has been done. Air filter was changed over to a K & N for better breathing. Truck passed Washington state's tough DEQ test with flying colors. Many suspension bushings replaced as well! The interior is like new, meaning the seat's ( lumbar works ) headliner, door, and the carpet are all in great shape. The door panels as well. Anything that looked worn from age I replaced. All electrical works as it should and the Air is cold. The courtesy lights in the overhead console all work, as does the Compass. I took out the old cassette radio and installed a new high end AM/FM / CD / IPOD / Bluetooth Stereo, I don't have the old radio and it didn't work anyway. All new upgraded top end speakers, with a new 200 Watt Amplifier for incredible sound. While at the Stereo shop, I had a $650.00 Avital Alarm system installed. Put a kill-switch in as well. Back side windows had been tinted for privacy, and the back seat look's like no one has ever sat in it. The stereo is set up for a phone with a mic, and along with the Ipod Classic sit's in a factory cut out in the lower dash. I just put on the new chrome wheel lip's yesterday so no dings yet. I have two front fender Bronco plaques ( Eddie Bauer ) but haven't put them on. Present one's are good. but these look newer. I replaced most badges with new one's, and added a few new one's as well, ie; Eddie Bauer on the Tail Gate, 5.8 Litre on Tailgate ( lower left ) 4 X 4 on front lower drivers side, and a 5.8 on the front passenger side.. For the BIN buyer, I will throw in a top end Magellan GPS and a new high quality Eddie Bauer Carpet kit ( $650.00 ). Kit covers the front seat area, back seat area, and the storage carpet area including the wheel bumps. As I said, the carpet doesn't need replacing at all, but I thought down the road it might so bought the carpet kit .In addition I will fill the trucks gas tank with Gas for you. Truck comes with all Book's, Brochures and receipts, You get a Chilton's repair manual for the truck as well. I have the clear title to the truck. I've done so much to the Bronco, I can't even remember everything. This Bronco is a Classic and will only go up in value, so buy it and enjoy it as it does! I'm located in the Portland Oregon metro area about 15 minutes from the Portland Airport if you want to fly in and drive the Bronco home. I welcome a PPI on the Bronco if you have any doubt's about the quality of the Truck This Bronco need's nothing but someone to enjoy it. Be it on road or off road! Additional photos available upon request, You won't find another Bronco in the shape this one is in. It may have 100,171 on the Clock, but look, drives, and feel's like a brand new one! |

Ford trademarking 'Mach 1,' possibly for Mustang
Thu, 24 Oct 2013A legendary name might be accompanying the redesigned, 2015 Mustang when it finally makes its world debut - Mach 1. Stumbled upon by the team at Ford Authority, the Mach 1 title was found in a trademark filing with the US Patent and Trademark Office, and would revive a name last used on the fourth-generation, 2003 Mustang.
While the the 2003 vintage was well and good, the Mach 1 is really remembered for a three-year run from 1969 to 1971 - it's best to just forget the emissions-choked 1972 to 1978 Mach 1s - when power output ranged from a modest 250 horsepower with the two-barrel, 351-cubic-inch Windsor V8 to "375 hp" (actual output was rumored to be well north of 400 horsepower) with the righteous, 429-cubic-inch Super Cobra Jet V8.
What does the title hold for the sixth-generation Mustang? It's tough to say. The fanatics at Ford Authority seem to think Mach 1 could take the place of the Shelby GT500 at the top of the Mustang hierarchy, which sounds like a valid argument. At the same time, we could see the SVT Cobra moniker returning for the flagship model, and the Mach 1 doing battle with the Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 (unless the Boss 302 were to return). Confounding things is the historical precedent - the Mach 1 was responsible for the death of the Mustang GT in 1969, so it might make sense as a volume performance model.
Amazon looking to bring Kindle to your next car?
Mon, 25 Feb 2013Maybe so. The online retailer and digital media monolith recently announced the Amazon Cloud Player, an application for Ford Sync that allows users to stream media from their Amazon Cloud account directly to a Ford vehicle. This foray into automotive technology got the minds at Gigaom.com thinking about what could be next for Amazon. As Kevin Fitchard writes, the logical step is to make audio versions of your Kindle library selections available in your car. As he points out, Amazon has already laid the groundwork for such a move.
Amazon pulled the sheets back on Whispersync for Voice last year. The tech pairs ebooks with an Audible book for a small extra fee, allowing users to either read along with a narrator or switch between audio and text versions on command. Fitchard says it wouldn't be some great leap to apply the same principles to a car, where voice recognition software would allow users to pause or select chapters without ever taking their eyes off of the road.
It all sounds just fine to us, but Amazon hasn't said a thing about such a move. Still, we wouldn't be surprised to see the company come down this road in the near future just the same.
eBay Find of the Day: Mk1 Ford GT40 with interesting history
Sat, 03 May 2014You might expect a rare Ford GT40 to cross the block at some sort of prestigious auto auction from RM or Gooding, not show up on eBay for over $2 million. However, that's exactly what we have here. The seller claims the car is a late-build Mk1 GT40 from 1969, and it's currently owned by the director of the Hublot watch company in Switzerland.
According to the listing, GT40 #P1108 started life as Mk1 car that was built from factory spares in 1969 and was first sold in 1971. However, the auction is somewhat confusing. According to an image in its gallery, the vehicle was actually built from one of the seven spare Mk3 tubs when production of the iconic racers ended.
This GT40 was never built as a racecar - it lived on the streets its whole life. After assembly finished, it was sent to Germany and was eventually registered for the road. The first owner kept the car until 2005 and sold it with 7,300 miles on the odometer. The current owner bought it in 2012.
