Beautiful 87 Ford Bronco 4x4 on 2040-cars
Valdosta, Georgia, United States
I have up for auction a beautiful 1987 Ford Bronco. I purchased it from San Antonio Texas where it had spend all its life. It is truly a rust free Bronco. It clearly need a paint job because it was faded badly and the old clear coat was peeling. I sanded the old stuff off and started with SPI epoxy primer which sets up an unbelievable foundation. The Bronco had one spot that had body filler, and I am not sure why because it was no bigger than a dollar bill. I fixed the misc nicks and dings and painted it two tone Silver and Blue. The interior is very basic but in excellent shape for a 1987. The rubber mat in the back is original and has quite a bit of wear and some cuts, but it is very serviceable. The guy I purchased it from had just spent over $1200 having it tuned up and the power rear window repaired. He didn't fib about the condition, but had a unique method of disclosing it's flaws. When he stated " the gas gauge works, but only when it wants too" that translates into... it doesn't work. At least in the over 1000 miles I have put on it the gauge hasn't "wanted" to work yet. He said the radio works, but it will need speakers. The radio doesn't work. He said it will soon need a muffler. It does, and I will have one installed. The power steering pump, or the hose on has a small leak in it.
The 4 wheel drive and AC works. It is a manual transmission and 302 V8. The transmission in 1987 was a real truck transmission, not a car transmission like the put in them in later years. My hobby is lite bodywork and painting older vehicles up, I do one to two a year, and this is by far the best running vehicle I have ever had to work on. As I said I have put over 1000 miles on it and it is truly amazing. Have a look at the pictures, and email me if you have any questions. Shipping costs are buyers responsibility. I will assist with loading. I encourage local inspections prior to bidding. If the winning bidder upon local inspection has any concerns whatsoever I will gladly refund any deposit and you won't have to go thru with the purchase. |

Ford confirms 1.5-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine for 2014 Fusion
Thu, 11 Apr 2013Earlier this week, reports were swirling 'round the internet about the 2014 Ford Fusion getting a new 1.5-liter three-cylinder EcoBoost engine. That was... half correct. Ford today confirmed that the 2014 Fusion is, in fact, getting a new 1.5-liter EcoBoost mill, but it has four cylinders, not three.
The new 1.5-liter engine will be the fifth EcoBoost powerplant from Ford Motor Company. Initially to be built at the automaker's Craiova, Romania plant, it will also be offered in the Fusion's twin, the Mondeo, in other markets. This engine will debut at the Shanghai Motor Show next month, and the 1.5-liter is of particular importance in the Chinese market - there is significant tax relief in the People's Republic for vehicles powered by engines with a capacity of 1.5 liters or less.
At a media briefing Thursday, Ford declined to divulge exact power or fuel economy numbers, though Joe Bakaj, vice president of powertrain engineering, told Autoblog that power output should be similar to that of the current 1.6-liter inline-four, and that overall efficiency will be "better than the 1.6." Our earlier report stated that the 1.5-liter four will produce 177 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque - losses of 1 hp and 7 lb-ft versus the 1.6-liter engine. Ford states that the 1.5-liter four will feature many of the same technologies used on the company's 1.0-liter EcoBoost inline-three, including an integrated exhaust manifold that recaptures much of the engine's heat.
As US exports top 2 million, is America becoming the world's source of cheap cars?
Mon, Feb 9 2015North American auto production is booming with 2014 figures just shy of the of the 17.3-million vehicle record set in 2000. With more models being built on the continent, even more are being shipped overseas. Factories in the US exported 2.1 million cars last year – the highest number ever. About half of those went to Canada and Mexico, but more than ever have been heading to places like the Middle East and China. The upswing comes in part from from after-effects from the Great Recession, according to The Wall Street Journal. With a weak dollar and lower production costs after the financial crisis, building vehicles in the US was relatively cheaper and more competitive in the world. At the same time buyers around the world are going crazy for crossovers. According to the WSJ, BMW and Mercedes-Benz are already exporting the majority of their US production of these models overseas. Both automakers have also announced investments to expand production further here to send more vehicles abroad. Even Honda has been shipping more models out of the country than it imported here. There is a concern this international strength could start slowing because the dollar is strengthening against other currencies, though it's too early to know what the actual effect of this could be, according to the WSJ. "Of course, we closely watch currency exchange, but we don't make changes in production or allocation based on temporary fluctuations in the exchange rate," Ford North American boss Joe Hinrichs told the newspaper.
