This is a nice low miles 1996 Ford Bronco XLT. It has spent a good part of it's life in Arkansas and Missouri. It is very solid mechanically, cosmetically and structurally. 


Exterior:
It doesn't appear to have had any paint work or panels replaced, and looks better than other 96 Broncos or even other 17 year old vehicles in general.  The photos show the Bronco, just washed with no wax. The rear bumper has no bends or major dings and has a good shine to it. The front bumper is straight, but slightly skewed on the mounts, and has a few spots where the chrome is dull. The tires are brand new (still have nipples on them) 32" x 11.5" x 15" with OEM steel wheels. The drivers side has a small spot of rust behind the back fender which is shown in the photo. The passenger side has two small rust spots with are also shown in the photos. There is NO other rust on the body including under the tailgate (which is a common rust spot on Broncos). I do not have the exterior key only the ignition key. The drivers side mirror has a crack on the lens, but it really comes down to preference on it if bothers you as the driver and needs to be replaced.

Mechanically:
There's no smoke, leaks, or drips under the vehicle and it doesn't burn oil. The vehicle has great power from the bigger 351 V8 and shifts very smooth. The steering is very solid and holds to the road well. The ride is very smooth and solid, and represents the mileage very well. Surprisingly is has a great tone with the muffler having been removed with a straight pipe in its place, but the catalytic converters are still installed, so it sounds much like a 2 or 3-chamber muffler... nothing obnoxious. The push button 4x4 engages just as it should in both 4H and 4L.

Interior:
The seats are in very good condition and only have a few minor spots where the surface is coming off on the drivers seat. There are no major spots on the carpet including in the back cargo area. The radio is an aftermarket CD-player with a USD hook-up. The speakers are little to be desired and could probably use a replacement. There's one small crack on the dash, which can be seen in the photos. The temp gauge does not work on the dash, and the previous owner installed a functioning gauge under the dash. There is a speaker box in the back that runs up to the front CD-player, and it appears to only be using the in-dash amp rather than an external amp. The front headliner is dropping a little and the drivers side sun-visor has some damage from what appears to be garage doors openers resting on it over the years. The rear headliner is in good condition. All windows work as they should including the rear window.

If you're looking for one that hasn't been a mud toy and ragged out, then this is the one to get. With very little effort and money, this vehicle could be more than just a daily driver. These are getting very hard to find in this condition. You can maintain one, but you can remove the miles... this one has both the low miles and great condition going for it. Please understand that it a 17 year old vehicle. I tried to disclose everything I have seen and know of, but don't assume anything... please, please, please ask if you have specific questions or need more photos.

Thanks and best of luck!!!

Hyundai, BMW and Ford win Concept Vehicle of the Year awards

Sat, 06 Jul 2013

More than two dozen jurors started with a pool of 23 concept cars introduced at the most recent Los Angeles, Detroit, Chicago, Toronto and New York auto shows, then pared it down to three winners in three categories for the twelfth annual North American Concept Vehicle of the Year Awards. The trophy-bearers are said to be those "vehicles most likely to shape the future of the automobile industry," and lead their classes in the Concept Car, Concept Truck and Production Preview divisions.
Hyundai had two cars as finalists for the Concept Car category, the competition boiled down to the Hyundai HCD-14 Genesis concept, Veloster C3 Roll Top, Honda EV-STER and the Toyota Corolla Furia. It won with the HCD-14 Genesis that was introduced at the Detroit Auto Show, a sharp sedan that sharply divided opinion between those who thought it was too much, those who thought it was too much Audi A7, and those who thought it was perfect. The award panel's judges, however, thought so much of it that it's got two awards in one sitting, not only taking concept car honors, but because it earned the highest overall score in the competition it also takes the crown for Most Significant Concept Vehicle of 2013.
The final selection in the Concept Truck category was down to the Ford Atlas, Kia Cross GT, Nissan Resonance and Volkswagen Cross Blue. The Ford Atlas took the silverware, after also winning the Eyes on Design award - shared with the Nissan Resonance - at the Detroit Auto Show where it was introduced.

McLaren, Koenigsegg, Toyota, Ford, Dodge and Corvette Lego kits announced for 2021

Tue, May 4 2021

Lego has announced a slew of car-themed sets for 2021. The six kits comprise nine vehicles and fall under the brick pusher's Speed Champion line of official OEM-licensed kits. News of their arrival comes from German toy retailer JB Spielwaren's pre-order listings, which show three single-car sets and three dual-car sets of matched marques. Starting with the McLaren Elva roadster, the kit consists of 263 pieces and is finished in blue. It seems to have a difficult time capturing the curves of the real-life Elva, but there's only so much you can do with a bunch of plastic blocks. Lego has made several other McLaren kits before, including the Senna, 720S, and a more advanced Senna GTR for the Technics line. Next up is the Koenigsegg Jesko, made up of 280 pieces and finished in white. Though the real-life Jesko is still curvy, this kit does a better job of replicating its aggressive maw, vents and cantilevered rear wing. Rounding out the single-car sets is the 299-piece Toyota GR Supra in yellow. This marks the first time Toyota has lent their license to Lego. Again, it struggles a bit to represent the curvy Supra, relying on printed details like logos and headlights to identify. On the other hand, the Chevrolet two-car does a stupendous job with the 1968 Corvette. The C3 is instantly recognizable as such. The C8-R race car it's paired with suffers from the same issues as some of the previous cars, though. The set contains 512 pieces, and funnily enough the C8 driver has short hair while the C3 driver sports a period-correct wavy mane. The next set is a 627-piece Mopar-themed pair, including a purple (Plum Crazy?) 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A and an SRT top fuel dragster. The race car is spot on, but the Challenger was probably tough to make given the width restrictions. It looks a couple of pegs too narrow compared to the wide proportions of the real deal. Last but not least, the Ford set contains a Bronco R and Ford GT Heritage Edition. Consisting of 660 pieces, the set does an excellent job of representing both cars. The GT looks faithful in its Gulf livery, and the Bronco R looks more like a real Bronco than the actual Bronco R race truck. All in all, it's always fun to see more Lego sets with real cars, and we're glad to see more manufacturers added to the roster. The single-car sets are recommended for ages 7 and up, while the double-car sets have an 8 years and up rating. Price in U.S.

Ford says C-Max mpg reduction has hurt sales

Tue, 22 Apr 2014

The Ford C-Max is having a rough time. Sales for the five-door hybrid hatchback were down 39.1 percent in March to 2,295 cars, and sales from January through March were down 42.5 percent to 5,566 units. In an interview with The Detroit News, Ford Americas boss Joe Hinrichs places the blame on lowering the model's fuel economy rating.
"We're definitely seeing consideration on C-Max decline over time. We need to reinvest in the product because it's a great car," said Hinrichs to The Detroit News.
The company was hit with bad publicity over the C-Max when owners in multiple states filed class action lawsuits that alleged the cars weren't able to meet the stated fuel economy. Ford eventually re-rated the model from 47 miles per gallon city, highway and combined to 40 mpg city, 45 mpg highway and 43 mpg combined. To soften the blow of the change, the automaker sent checks to the owners to make up some of the difference. Initially, Ford claimed that demand remained strong for the hybrid. However, the latest sales figures and Hinrichs' statement seem to show the opposite.
