I am letting go of my 1996 Ford Bronco Eddie Bauer with Fisher 7.5' plow since I no longer need to worry about snow removal and I am a bit short on space in the yard. The truck has 129,000 miles is 4x4 and has the 5.8L V8 and is the Eddie Bauer package. The truck runs strong, shifts solid, starts and goes all the time. It never broke down in a snow storm and plowed the recent blizzard without breaking a sweat. I originally bought the truck to replace a severely aged 1980 F-150 and given that it was in good condition it also has every heavy duty option Ford had available and most luxury options too. It has the tow package with the heavy duty radiator, tranny cooler, 3.73 limited slip rear end, heavy duty front end with quad shocks, and the E40D tranny the same one behind the Powerstoke diesel. Inside it has leather seats, power windows, cruise, AC that blows ice cold, overhead console with temp gage, and rear swing out spare tire bracket. The truck is solid, the floors and chassis are solid, no rot just a little surface rust in places. The only rust is on the exterior fender as can be seen in the pictures in all the typical Bronco locations. This can be fixed easily at this point and you could have a rust free truck no problem. I have done a lot of work to the truck over the past couple of years to keep it in top running shape. I have replaced just about every front end component including ball, joints, tie rods, bushings, shocks, front axle joints, brakes and calipers. The transfer case has been rebuilt, new manual hubs for reliability, new oil pan, front and rear drive shaft universal joints, new rear diff cover, new 850CCA battery, thermostat, and rear brake lines. I also did a tune up last year with new plugs, wires and rotor, filters the whole deal. The items that don't work on the truck is the rear defroster sine I had to replace the rear window glass, the key switch to raise and lower the rear window from the out side and I lost the keyless entry fob when the alarm when haywire and I removed it. The plow is a fisher conventional mount setup with all the engine driven hydraulics. It works great no problems with it and although they can be a bit more cumbersome to put on and off they are reliable and much less prone freeze ups and electrical gremlins. All the hoses on the plow and blade are only two years old and the rams all work fine. I have an extra pump, lift cylinder and control valve manifold available that can possibly go with the truck. The plow blade has a custom back drag blade that works great for tight areas and the plow is solid with no rot. I have lost of picture of the truck and plow, more than can be posted here so if you contact me I can send photos of the truck and in specific areas you request. They go together I am not separating, too much work. If you interested please call me and if you are local come and look the truck over before bidding. I can deliver up to 150 miles if necessary if you are willing to pay for fuel or hook the plow and drive it home.

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.

New car market raining on convertibles' parade
Mon, 08 Jul 2013Whether 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.
