Beautiful 87 Ford Bronco 4x4 on 2040-cars

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.

Takata air bag recall list

Tue, Dec 9 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration confirmed yesterday that 33.8 million vehicles with Takata airbags are going to be recalled. It's the largest recall in automotive history. The already record-breaking rate of automotive recalls this year shows no signs of slowing down, especially since millions of cars with defective airbags made by global supplier Takata are under ongoing scrutiny. The federal government is warning owners that inflator mechanisms in the air bags can rupture, causing metal fragments to fly out when the bags are deployed. The faulty air bags have already been blamed for multiple deaths. How do you know if your vehicle is safe? The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration released an updated list of vehicles under recall. Sometimes however, the government's website will crash and the list may not be complete. Check your VIN at the NHTSA website to make sure. The list of cars affected by the recall has not been released, but seem to span multiple models over the years for many of the automakers.

Ford jumps back in the water with marinized 6.2L V8

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

Nameplates like the Mercury Mariner and Lincoln Navigator aside, Ford hasn't offered a marine engine in over two decades. But through a new partnership with one of the biggest names in the business, the Dearborn-based automaker is dipping its proverbial toes back in the water.
Announced yesterday at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas, the new partnership between Ford Component Sales and Indmar Marine Engines will see the 6.2-liter V8 from the F-150 SVT Raptor and F-Series Super Duty marinized for use in boats.
The largest privately owned inboard gasoline marine engine manufacturer in the world, Indmar has been in the business for 43 years, and figures the Ford V8 will be just what watersport enthusiasts are looking for to tow waterskiers and wakeboarders to their hearts' content.

An amazing Group B rally car collection heads to auction

Tue, Jan 26 2021

Kicking off in 1982, the Group B era spawned some of the most fearsome rally cars of all time. The technologically advanced pioneers of all-wheel drive and turbocharging defined a time when automakers had carte blanche to build machines with unrestricted power, without the burden of homologating a large number of road cars to qualify. The results were sometimes deadly, leading the FIA to ban the class after 1986. Now, a collection of seven Group B monsters is headed across the block in Paris as part of the Artcurial auction, held in partnership with France's famed Retromobile show. The show has been delayed to June, however. There's a 1985 Peugeot 205 Turbo 16, one of 20 Evo II models that helped the company achieve two championships in Group B's short run. This particular example was driven by world champion Timo Salonen at the 1986 Swedish Rally, where it finished seventh due to an oil filter seal failure. Bruno Saby subsequently drove it at the 1986 Tour de Corse and Peugeot entered it at the 1986 Acropolis Rally as well. It's still registered to Peugeot Talbot Sport and represents a French technological achievement, according to Artcurial, comparable to the Concorde or TGV train. Representing Italy are a pair of Lancias in the iconic Martini livery. The Lancia 037 helped Bel Paese clinch its only Group B victory in 1983, after a hard-fought rivalry with Audi. It's one of the few Group B cars that weren't AWD, achieving its success the old-fashioned way, through lightness and superb handling. A second Lancia, a 1986 Delta S4, was the culmination of the Italian firm's later Group B efforts and one of Saby's favorites. While Group B was no more in 1987, the S4 was the predecessor to the Delta Integrale that would dominate WRC from 1987 through 1992. While the collection also includes greats like a Ford RS200, Renault 5 Maxi Turbo, and MG Metro 6R4, the centerpiece is the Audi Quattro Sport S1. The ultimate Group B machine, it introduced all-wheel-drive and turbocharging to the sport. It also employed the wildest use of wings and air dams to generate downforce. Tunable up to 590 horsepower, it could rocket to 60 mph in about three seconds. The car offered for sale came straight from Ingolstadt, a 1988 model built for the Race of Champions of ex-Group B cars. The collection was amassed in the late 80s and early 90s, not long after Group B's dissolution.
