You are looking at a 1970 Original Ford Bronco with 76,911 original mile.   The Bronco is an unrestored other than it was repainted the original color a few years ago.  The Bronco has been garaged and everything works on the drive very well.  The tires are are in excellent condition.  The All the doors are straight and shut tight. The seats, headliner, radio (AM), antenna..... really everything I can think of looks and works well.  

The engine runs great and has always been tuned by a local classic car guy who owns a shop and knows how to tune properly.  It has the original distributor and runs points.  Never upgraded to electronic ignition as it's easy to care for and really kind of cool being original.  The exhaust is also original and works well.  Both fuel tanks work well and the valve to switch tanks works also.  All instrument panels and lights, gauges work.  All chrome bumpers are in great condition I believe to original 

It has some factory options, the 4:10 rear differential and 9" Ford rear axle.  That means with the 302 V-8 (first year of what would become the 5.0 Mustang motor in the early 80's - underrated at 205 bhp and 300 lb/ft of torque) and the three speed manual column shifter (3-on-the-tree) get poor gas mileage (about 10mpg), but will climb the side of a mountain like a billy-goat.  It's purpose built, of course.  

History:  The original owner bought the Bronco new and it spent its life as a daily driver from 1970-2007 in Durango, Colorado.  Then the 2nd owner who was a collector bought it and repainted it and cleaned it up and it has sat garaged since 2007.   I believe he may have put 1000 miles on it in 5-6 years.  I bought the Bronco to be a daily drive for me to make my big 1 mile commute to work everyday.  Needless say I haven't been driving it and I have a a few cars and I am needing to make some garage space.  Please note the only issue I have found on the Bronco is the inside left engine sidewall has barley rusted through , overall there is a 2" round part where the metal is thin.(Please see pictures).  There is a black mark like possibly something in the engine compartment got on the sidewall and accelerated the process.  Also there is a small bulldog hood ornament the prior own put on.  Other than that the Bronco is perfect and run great.

2014 Roush Stage 3 Mustang

Fri, 26 Jul 2013

Up until now, it's been some years since I managed to get behind the wheel of the hot Mustangs tuned by the folks at Roush Performance. My memories of those vehicles are fond, as the Roush up-fits usually make for better-driving examples of the iconic Ford pony, with better-tuned suspensions, excellent short-shift kits and, of course, huge additions of power. The wake-your-neighbors aural characteristics of these cars have been nothing short of outstanding, too.
But in the years since my last experience with the Roush formula, Ford's own development team has churned out some pretty potent 'Stangs. We currently live in a world where the Blue Oval will sell you a Mustang with 662 horsepower from the factory, and the recently departed Boss 302 remains one of the best Mustangs - and best sports coupes - the Autoblog crew has ever driven.
So with great-driving and hugely powerful Mustangs coming straight off the line at Ford's Flat Rock Assembly Plant, does the Roush package still offer that extra special something to make it stand out? I spent a week with a Stage 3 coupe to find out.

Ford C-Max Solar Energi takes a recharging station wherever it goes

Wed, 08 Jan 2014

Companies ranging in size from small startups to major automakers have been experimenting with solar-powered charging stations for EVs and plug-in hybrids. And, of course, people have been powering vehicles with onboard solar panels for quite some time, too. Still, Ford's new C-Max Solar Energi Concept shows the promise of a truly practical implementation of solar on a production vehicle, and it may not be as far off in the future as we had thought.
As we reported a few days ago, the Solar concept makes use of a "concentrator lens" that focuses sunlight onto the Ford's roof-mounted solar panels. The special lens follows the rays of the sun to maximize the amount of charge being fed to the batteries of the car, taking about a day to fully charge the 21-mile, all-electric range of the C-Max Energi. Ford data suggests that combination might be enough to power 75 percent of all trips made by a statistically average driver. In turn, using the sun to power a vehicle could reduce yearly C02 emissions by up to four metric tons when compared with the driver of an average gasoline-powered sedan.
We've got live images of the C-Max Solar Energi Concept, jauntily tilted on its display to best present it's signature solar panels, straight from the CES floor.
