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.

Ford recalling nearly 700k Escape CUVs, C-Max hybrids over two separate safety issues

Fri, 09 May 2014

Poor Escape. Ever since its launch in 2012, Ford's small CUV has been the subject of many, many, many recalls. And today, The Detroit News is reporting that Ford is adding two more recalls to the 2013-14 model year Escape's permanent record, one of them also involves the C-Max hybrid hatchback.
The first recall, covering 692,500 Escape and C-Max vehicles, is due to a software glitch that could cause the airbags - specifically, the safety canopy - to not deploy in a timely fashion during rollover crashes. According to the News, Ford says no crashes or injuries have been reported in relation to this problem.
The second recall, covering 692,700 Escapes, is related to the door handles. The News reports that the exterior door handles could open while the vehicle is in motion, and could also fail to latch properly. Once again, no crashes or injuries have occurred because of this. The National Highway Safety Traffic Administration has not issued an official notice on either recall as of this writing.

2015 Ford Mustang will tell authorities how you crashed and if you were belted [w/video]

Sat, 28 Jun 2014

When the 2015 Ford Mustang hits dealers, it will be with a new batch of features that will power up Sync's 911 Assist feature, and provide an even greater degree of information to first responders in the event of an accident.
911 Assist will already make a phone call, via a Bluetooth-connected phone, should you bin your car. The automatic message to first responders is a pre-recorded blurb from Ford. With the new enhancements, though, emergency personnel can learn about the maximum change in velocity and whether the crash involved a front, rear, side or a rollover impact. 911 Assist will also send information about how many seat belts were in use and if airbags deployed, allowing more accurate dispatch of resources.
"Sync will only broadcast relevant information to save time, and it constructs a very efficient message for the operator," said David Hatton, the global project leader with Ford Connected Services. "After the introductory message, the voice line opens automatically and occupants can speak directly with the operator via Sync's hands-free functionality."
