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 Fusion demand outstripping supply

Sat, 15 Jun 2013

The attractive new 2013 Ford Fusion has done wonders for the brand in the highly competitive midsize sedan segment - the vehicle is up nearly 22 percent compared to last year. But that sales momentum may soon hold steady due to low inventory levels of the new Fusion across the United States.
According to a report in The Detroit News, citing automotive data and Ward's Auto, Ford currently has a 39-day supply of the Fusion. That might sound fine, but a normally healthy average is about a 60-day supply. If Ford were to stop production on the Fusion today, there would only be enough vehicles available to get through another five weeks of sales, according to the News.
Currently, Ford produces the Fusion at its three-shift assembly plant in Hermosillo, Mexico, and will add production at its facility in Flat Rock, MI later this year. A Ford spokesperson told The Detroit News that when Flat Rock production comes online, the automaker will need to rush new stock out to the regions with the most demand for the Fusion. Ford has doubled its coastal retail market share, with huge amounts of growth in areas like Los Angeles, San Francisco and Miami, the News reports.

Ford taken to task by gov't for Chicken Tax end-around

Mon, 23 Sep 2013

Ford is in a bit of a pickle for importing and selling Turkey-built Transit Connect cargo vans as passenger vehicles in the US, then converting them to commercial-vehicle specification stateside in an effort to bypass a 25-percent tax imposed on vehicles imported for commercial use. Automakers are required to pay a 2.5-percent tax on imported passenger vehicles.
The Blue Oval got into trouble for this in a January ruling in which U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials asked Ford to stop the practice of importing the Transit Connect vehicles with passenger seats, then removing and shredding them. Now Automotive News reports that Ford is appealing the ruling. The 25-percent "Chicken Tax," as the tariff is often called, is 50 years old and was enacted as a response to a German tariff on chickens. Like Ford, Chrysler bypasses the higher tariff, but it does so in a different manner. It partially disassembles Sprinter cargo vans before shipping them to the US, then rebuilds them at a plant in South Carolina.
But the ruling against Ford's strategy states that it "serves no manufacturing or commercial purpose" and is there to "manipulate the tariff schedule," Automotive News reports. As Ford's appeal goes through, it is importing the Transit Connect and paying the higher tax, hoping for a favorable outcome and planning to build the next-generation Transit Connect, which it plans to launch before the end of the year, in Spain.

Watch Ford build a Mustang atop Burj Khalifa, world's tallest building

Sun, Nov 23 2014

In 1965, a Ford Mustang Convertible proudly went on display at the top of the Empire State Building, the world's tallest building at the time. Earlier this year, the Blue Oval recreated the stunt by bringing the latest droptop 'Stang to the sky-high structure. Unfortunately, while still iconic, the New York skyscraper has lost the world title. Of course, an automaker can't let something like that get in the way of a good publicity stunt. For the inauguration of the Ford business unit in the Middle East and Africa, the brand gave the 2015 Mustang Convertible an even bigger building to climb – the biggest in fact. The droptop made its way to the 112th floor of the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building. To put a final topper on the whole event, executive chairman Bill Ford was the one to place the car's famous badge, making it complete. Like with the Empire State Building spectacle, getting the Mustang to the top wasn't as simple as just driving it off the elevator. Check out the video above to see how it was done, and scroll down to read Ford's press release about the event. NEW MUSTANG UNVEILED ON WORLD'S TALLEST BUILDING, BURJ KHALIFA Bill Ford helps inaugurate Ford's latest business unit, Middle East and Africa, an exciting, vibrant region that represents the final frontier for growth in the auto industry Ford pledged to launch 25 vehicles in region by 2016, including the all-new Mustang debuting next year Industry sales in Middle East & Africa are expected to grow 40 per cent to 5.5 million vehicles by 2020 Dubai, U.A.E., Nov. 20, 2014 – Ford Motor Company underscored its growing ambitions in the Middle East and Africa, with the dramatic introduction of the all-new Mustang on Dubai's Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building. Ford Executive Chairman Bill Ford capped the live-action event by delivering the iconic pony badge to the 2015 yellow Mustang on the 112th floor of the skyscraper. The event was viewed live around the world on YouTube as well as by approximately 10,000 fans gathered in the Dubai Downtown area, overlooking the Dubai Fountain and Burj Khalifa. (To see a replay, click on this link.) "Today we planted the Ford flag in the Middle East & Africa, an exciting, vibrant region that represents the final frontier for growth in the auto industry," Bill Ford said.
