This Bronco is one of the last ones to be built.  In 1996, Ford made several upgrades to the F150/Bronco line before the body style was discontinued including: roller-rockers, OBD-II compliant emissions, reinforced B-pillars (all other model year Broncos crack just above the door from body flex) and improved passenger-side dash support (all other model years break the support bracket causing the dash to sag).

Everything works perfectly on this truck including the rear window (both switch and key), the electronic 4X4 transfer case, the power mirrors, windows and door locks, and the airbag and cruise control.  The tires are brand new 31" BFG All-Terrains (less than 500 miles), the steering linkage is all new, and the front end has been aligned to spec.  The heater core is brand new, and the cooling system was flushed and filled with fresh anti-freeze and has no leaks.  The a/c compressor and accumulator have been replaced with all new valves and o-rings and the system was flushed and filled with new refrigerant and oil.  The fan works perfectly and the a/c blows COLD.  The fuel pump has been replaced as well as the fuel filter.  The muffler has been upgraded to a less-restrictive Flowmaster.  The previous owner told me that the transmission had been replaced recently, and I believe it because it has very positive shifts and doesn't hesitate or slip at all.  The engine starts up easily and runs very well (has very low marks on the smog emission inspection).  This truck came from the factory with remote keyless entry, and this sale includes two complete sets of keys with working remotes.  It also came from the factory with the color-matched running board steps.  The factory automatic hubs have been replaced with quality after-market manual locking hubs (an upgrade to the less-reliable automatic hubs).  This has the factory tow package, which includes a 7-pin trailer plug, heavier springs and quad shocks.  That option requires the heavy-duty cooling package which includes a larger radiator, extra cooling slots in the bumper, an auxiliary transmission cooler, and an oil cooler.

This Bronco has been exclusively owned and operated in the dry climate of Southern California, therefore the body and frame are completely rust-free (as many Broncos are prone to rust).  The paint has been polished and waxed and shines like new!  It has clearly not been abused off-road, since there is no build-up of mud underneath and no damage to the under carriage.  There is one obvious dent in the upper left of the tailgate, but no paint damage.  There is a dent in the front edge of the hood with some paint damage.  The rear bumper is tweaked and appears to have contacted the left rear body panel.  There are other minor blemishes on the body but no significant dents, and no paint repair.  Check the vehicle history, the title is clear and it has not been involved in any accidents.  Non-smoker (I don't smoke, and neither does the truck).

Ford bumped by Amazon in best-perceived brand list

Mon, 20 Jan 2014

Back in July, a mid-year study from YouGov found Ford to have higher brand perception than any other company in the US. While Ford failed to top the year-end study, it still has plenty to brag about. The final BrandIndex report shows that online retail giant Amazon edged out Ford for the top ranking, while Subway, the History Channel and Lowe's rounded out the top five spots.
For Ford, it's still an improvement from sixth place in the 2012 study, and, more importantly, it dominated other automakers in terms of brand perception with a clear advantage over Toyota, Honda, Chevy and Volkswagen. To determine how well - or not so well - a brand is perceived, YouGov uses a Buzz score that asks respondents whether they've "heard anything about the brand in the last two weeks, through advertising, news or word of mouth" and whether it was positive or negative. While it isn't clear how many respondents were included, YouGov does point out that Ford had a strong presence in social media, advertising and newsworthy toward the end of the year.

Ford files patent for 11-speed transmission

Sat, Apr 11 2015

The automatic transmission seemed limited to three or four gears for decades, and then the automotive world slowly started to see more ratios becoming available. Today, seven-, eight- or nine-speed gearboxes have become rather common. Ford even has an automatic with 10 gears on the way for the future F-150 Raptor. The Blue Oval might not be done yet, though, because the company also now has a patent on an 11-speed box. The filing, which was discovered by AutoGuide, says this idea "produces eleven forward speed ratios and one reverse speed ratio by selective engagement of three shift elements in various combinations," and the company outlines three different ways of making this possible. The advantage of adding one more ratio is that the gearbox should be able to keep the revs in the ideal portion of the engine's torque curve even longer. Obviously, automakers patent ideas constantly, and applying for one is no guarantee that the tech ever arrives on the market. Conversely, these documents provide a tiny glimpse at one of the brand's focuses of development. If you're mechanically minded or just curious, you can read the entire application here for the technical nitty-gritty.

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
