1996 Ford Bronco 5.8l 4x4 Florida Vehicle Great Shape on 2040-cars

Year:1996 Mileage:136000 Color: of the lower tailgate
Location:

Winter Garden, Florida, United States

Winter Garden, Florida, United States

Condition:

Bronco looks and runs great.  From the original blue and white paint to the rust free frame and undercarriage, and the push button four wheel drive, you will be pleased with this truck. Everything works on this vehicle, power windows and locks are fully functional, even the back window up/down switch operates.  Recently new A/C pump, provides cold A/C, and the heater blows hot.

The original paint is in great overall shape, however it does show some wear on the front of the hood, and the roof, and the aftermarket sun visor is loosing it's clear coat.  The ONLY rust is in the inevitable place on the interior of the lower tailgate seam. It is starting on one side, and there are a few spots starting to come through on the exterior of the lower tailgate (see photos). You can see the the rain gutters on the roof are in great shape as well.

The body is wreck and dent free, what you see is what you get.  The body or suspension has never been lifted, nor cut, to accommodate larger tire and wheel combinations.  The cap has never been removed, and is all original, including the white paint.

All of the chrome, including the bumpers are in great shape, only a few wear spots on the body side molding plastic chrome trim.

Engine and transmission are running great.  Starts cleanly even after sitting for a few weeks and the transmission shifts smooth, up and down.  There is a slight engine oil drip, I think it is from the rear seal, but I can't say for sure.  I know it isn't from the valve covers, as they are clean.  Drip isn't significant, as I never have to add oil between changes. 

Interior is smoke-free, clean and tear free, even the original floor mats are in great shape.  The aftermarket CD radio works fine, however skips occasionally, probably due for a change, it's been 15 years after all.

Optional Features:

The wheels are aftermarket standard size 15" aluminum, and tires are 32X11.50.  After market CD radio. 

History:

I purchased this vehicle in 1997 in Pittsburgh, from a dealer that had just taken it in on trade for an Explorer. Apparently the vehicle was too big for the female driver.  I believe there was about 9,000 miles on it when I bought it, and it came with the bleach marks in the rear carpet.  I suspect a grocery store accident... The Bronco lived in between Orlando, Florida and Pennsylvania until 1999, when I moved to Orlando. In 2004, the trucked moved with me to Atlanta, and back to Orlando in 2009.  It was my daily driver until 2011, and is now driven occasionally, and currently stored in an indoor storage space.  

Shipping and Payment:

Not being an ebay veteran, I prefer a cash transaction, however, a Paypal deposit can be arranged.  A $1,000 deposit will be required within 48 hours of sale closing, and a full and final balance payment must be made within 10 days of sale closing.  Failure of full and final payment being made within 10 days of sale closing will result in lose of all deposit money and right to vehicle.  Once all funds clear, title and vehicle will be released to buyer or buyers agent.  Happy to discuss specifics options further.  Bronco also being advertised locally.

This year's video "drives rings around some of the biggest YouTube hits," so those of you who've lost years of your lives to the greatest distraction since the human navel can put your knowledge to use. For anyone else just catching up, we'll help you get rolling: the opening Snowkhana scene channels Stalking Cat. You'll find the rest of your holiday homework in the video.

2015 F-150 launch to curb Ford profits?

Thu, 30 Jan 2014

Ford is making a big bet on aluminum with its new 2015 F-150, and it's possible that the decision will hurt the company financially, at least in the short term. After earning a record $8.6 billion in 2013, the Blue Oval does not expect to set another record in 2014. According to Automotive News, that's "largely attributable to F Series," says Bob Shanks, Ford's Chief Financial Officer.
To retool for the new F-150, Ford will idle its Dearborn Truck Plant in Michigan for 11 weeks and the Ford Kansas City Assembly Plant in Missouri for 2 weeks. "3 of the 13 overall weeks occur during what normally is our summer shutdown timeframe," said Mike Levine, Ford Trucks Communication Manager, in an email to Autoblog. The extra 10 weeks will be preparing for the more aluminum-intensive construction for the trucks and will mean over 2 months of no F-150s being made. For comparison's sake, Chrysler boss Sergio Marchionne just confirmed that the 200 plant in Sterling Heights, MI will be down for 30 days to retool for the new model, but obviously there are many more F-150 production variables than for the midsize sedan.
Levine notes that Ford is already running three shifts at both plants, and says the automaker has plans to ensure that there is adequate supply of the full-size pickups during the retooling process. The company does not want to suffer a shortage of the vehicle that accounted for 31-percent of its 2013 US sales and an even bigger percentage of its profits.

eBay Find Of The Day: 1988 Saleen Ford Mustang General Tire 21R race car

Tue, 29 Jul 2014

Saleen may be making headlines these days for working on the Tesla Model S, but its history and bread-and-butter is all about the Ford Mustang. The rear-wheel-drive Dearborn pony cars singlehandedly put the company on the map in the '80s. Founder Steve Saleen was already a talented American racing driver when he started the venture, and like many auto industry businesses before him, Saleen went to the track to prove his vehicles' worth. Now, there's a chance to buy one of those early racers on eBay Motors.
Saleen Mustangs raced in the Sports Car Club of America Escort Endurance Championship - a series of multi-hour races meant to challenge man and machine. Ostensibly a showroom stock class, the cars had larger wheels, tuned suspensions and other upgrades that stretched the concept slightly. Saleen found major success though, taking the championship for its class in 1987 and winning the 24 Hours of Mosport consecutively from 1986 through 1988.
According to the seller, Saleen only built eight of these cars, and this one carries the #21R serial number. They all started life as new Mustangs from Ford dealers but were immediately stripped and prepped to go racing. Beyond obvious mods like a roll cage, they featured eight-inch wide wheels in front, an inch of additional track width, stiffer suspension bushings and much more.
