Here is my Ford Bronco that I must sell.  Cash only sale, no checks no money orders no paypal, cash only purchase.  

I have the two missing pieces of trim. I broke the tabs on them and have ordered new ones. They will be back on when you pick it up with factory style clips. No accidents for this truck, all the metal is original to it. Drove it from Arizona in 2013, never seen salt/snow, no rust ever.. Repainted in the factory original chamois metallic ppg paint 2 stage with clearcoat. I posted photos of it in shade - looks a deep metallic brown, in the sun a awesome metallic orangish tone. This is the factory original color it was originally painted. I dont remember them looking this good though and i never expected it to be like this...i expected doodoo brown metallic and fell for this color after seeing it as a serious favorite for another bronco when i can buy another or even bythis one back. And this is no hack paint job. All prepped right, sealer, primer, 4 base coats, 6 color coats, 2 clear. all ppg and by a professional restoration specialist in a $80k paint booth that usually paints duesenbergs and rolls royces..., not a paint and body collision shop busting out toyotas and minivans. no rust repair on it done.  It has not been wet sanded at buffed at all. This is how it left the booth. It is not flawless - but dang nice as you can see in the photos. It was done to last 20 years not peal and flake off in 2.  There are some dings in the hood from hail, i could not get them to show in the photos and some dings that I prefered not to be filled with bondo to cover them up. Its all metal here but i dont want to you to be surprised by anything though.  Rebuilt 351. Starts runs and drives good, no leaks or smoke. Edelbrock intake and Holly carb. Rebuilt c6 shifts fine and firm. manual 4x4 208 t-case & hubs, trailer special, 9" axle. Sorry no reciepts for the rebuilds. Poly front bushings, flow master exhaust.   Has Trailer Special package, ready to pull anything. restored 70s Detroit Vintage Wheels Western Wheels Cyclone II and brand new 31" kevlar lined goodyear duratracs. I restore these wheels for the trucks I preserve like this Bronco. I had not yet got to the interior. I had planned on replacing the regulator on the driver side - it is sticking, replacing the climate control unit, it seems to be not working right, redoing or replacing the front seats (not bad but not what i wanted), hooking up the front KC daylighters and the rear floods (the toggles were removed to re wire them all). The radio is in-op and a old pos anyway, and i was going to replace the door seals, they are pretty old and not the best sealing as with most old broncos. These are not anything that would inpead driving it home any distance. I drove it 2200 miles just as it is. It drives good - could use an alighment in time. Brakes good but the pedal is dropping low - back shoes or master is going out. The fronts are newer.  Thats all i can think of at the moment. Please ask any questions.  I have to relocate for work and cannot take it with me. Sux, its a awesome truck. have over 13k invested and I know I will never get near it back out and i never planned on selling it. But i am relocating for work and here it is. I would discount the final price and put the steel wheels with goodyear wranglers on back on it that were on it when i bought it. just plain ford steel wheels with 31" good goodyears on them if you are not a fan of these period correct turbines that would have been put on it when it was new.
2488902504 with any questions. 
Cash sale please. If you want to arrange to have it shipped, you need to send me a bank to bank money transfer, no paypal, no checks, no money orders, or UPS me the cash and have your driver pick it up. 

Auction ends on Tuesday at 7:50pm EST, its NO RESERVE...so dont forget and email me after bidding ends to buy it if the winning bidder does not go through with it. And please do not bid if you do not have the funds to pay for it within 7 days after the listing ends. 


On Apr-29-14 at 17:26:52 PDT, seller added the following information:

I will also install new stainless steel center caps on the wheels, I also have everything for a full tune up, rad hoses, filters, the driver window regulator to go with it.

EU formally questions French government assistance of Peugeot's finance arm

Fri, 28 Dec 2012

Recently, the finance arm of PSA/Peugeot-Citroën was in such debt trouble that it was pricing itself out of the car loan market. The rates it was paying to service its debt, which was rated one step above junk, were so high that it was forced to charge car-buying customers higher rates than they could find elsewhere. This was adding to Peugeot's already impressive woes by sending revenue out the door to competitors.
Two months ago a deal was worked out with the French government whereby the state would provide 7 billion euro ($9 billion USD) in bonds to guarantee the finance arm's loans. The French government could nominate someone to join the Peugeot board, Peugeot would guarantee more French jobs, and on top of that deal, other banks would provide non-guaranteed loans. The government would take no equity stake in the car company.
Although not yet finalized, the arrangement is meant to create some breathing room for Peugeot Finance to lower its interest rates for customers, and a government-nominated board member, Louis Gallois, was recently named to Peugeot's supervisory board. The arrangement was also openly questioned by at least three competitors: Ford, Renault - which is 15-percent owned by the French government after it received state aid - and the German state of Lower Saxony, itself a 15-percent shareholder in Volkswagen.

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 and Chrysler reducing summer plant shutdowns

Wed, 22 May 2013

Most domestic automaker assembly plants traditionally take a couple of weeks off during the summer. The shutdowns give each plant time for much needed repairs and maintenance, and in some cases, help better align production with demand. Not this year, though, as demand for many models is outstripping what Ford, Chrysler and General Motors plants can produce.
Ford has announced that it will shorten its annual summer shutdown for most North American plants from two weeks to one. The shorter shutdown will increase the carmaker's annual North American production by 40,000 units on top of the 200,000 extra units that it was already planning to produce this year versus last. Automotive News reports that Ford produced 2.8 million vehicles on this continent in 2012, and that output this year has already increased 13 percent through April.
Chrysler, meanwhile, is also operating at full tilt and plans to run some plants through the summer with no shutdown at all. Those not getting a break include Jefferson North where the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango are assembled, Toledo North that will assemble the new Cherokee, and Conner Avenue, home of SRT Viper production. Other assembly plants will be down for a single week, while all of Chrysler's engine and transmission plants except one in Indiana will continue operating with no shutdown this summer.
