Cypress, Texas, United States

 1983 Big  Bronco that we've owned for over 10 years.  Was daily driver until youngest son left for college.  Most everything has been repaired, replaced or rebuilt over the last couple of years.  Excellent daily driver that is also excellent off road or in the mud.

A few more details - as far as we know this has been an Oklahoma / Texas truck since originally sold in Edmond Oklahoma.

Rust - None that I know of.  There was some rust on the passenger front floor which was cut out and replaced, and the tailgate was rusted (pretty common for this model).  The tailgate was replaced with a new tailgate from Jeff's Bronco Graveyard before the truck was re-painted.  One dime sized rust bubble in rain guard rail.

Dent's & Dings - It's a 30 year old truck so there are some - body is not perfect.  Dent on passenger door upper frame from it being pushed when closing.  Front bumper dented from someone putting a tow strap around it to pull someone out.  There is also a dent on the passenger rear quarter where the spare tire support hit it when being opened.

Mechanical - Motor and Transmission rebuilt within last 1000 miles.  New drive-shaft and u joints at same time.  Rebuilt carburetor, rodded radiator, new fuel pump (2), new water pump, new brakes.  Six inch lift, with new shocks and springs and 35" pro-comp mud terrains - probably 2000 miles on those.  A/C all original and working, Radio / speakers / amp all aftermarket.  Transfer case, front hubs, differential and front end all original.  The one thing that will need attention, that we just never got to is the front end - it's loose, and while the steering box has been replaced she needs new tie rod ends, ball joints and bushings in the front end.

Interior - The interior has been re-done - the flooring was replaced with rubber floor from Jeff's Bronco Graveyard.  The quarter panels in the rear were re-done covered with vinyl and the seats are covered in saddle blanket aftermarket seat covers designed to fit this model.  Dash also has a new dash pad cover that is hard to distinguish from the original.

Ford Police Interceptor with 2.0L EcoBoost rated most fuel-efficient police sedan

Tue, 26 Nov 2013

Back in September, Ford announced a non-pursuit version of its Police Interceptor Sedan, which swaps out a choice of two V6 engines for a fuel-efficient 2.0-liter EcoBoost inline four-cylinder. This Special Service Police Sedan will be marketed to law enforcement agencies looking to cut fuel costs and don't need the extra power.
For college campuses, detectives and the like, this new police car has now been certified with EPA fuel economy estimates of 20 miles per gallon in the city, 32 mpg on the highway and a combined rating of 24 mpg. These figures represent a decrease of two mpg in city and combined ratings compared to the civilian-spec 2014 Taurus. These police cars still offer active grille shutters for better aerodynamics, although we're guessing agencies upfitting their cars with light bars and push bumpers aren't exactly concerted with aerodynamics. The true benefit of the SSP version is when it's compared against other police sedan options like the Dodge Charger, Chevy Impala, Chevy Caprice and even the V6 Police Interceptor Sedan.
Ford claims the new Police Interceptor Sedan SSP is the most fuel-efficient current option for police departments, saying that this car can save $1,720 per car over three years and almost $260,000 over the same span of time for fleets with 150 vehicles. There is an official press release posted below, and also check out the gallery of images from Ford collected from various police agencies across the US (although none show the 2.0-liter SSP model). Head on over to Ford's Police Interceptor mini-site for even more pictures of the Police Interceptor Sedan and Utility.

Ford Mustang challenges Lamborghini in amazing drift battle

Fri, Dec 18 2015

Engines scream and tires billow with smoke as Vaughn Gittin Jr. and Daigo Saito stage a drift battle through an abandoned Japanese resort that looks like a Russian village in this stunning clip. The high-performance ballet of these amazing machines sliding around makes this one of the best videos of the year. To fight this duel, Gittin straps into his 550-horsepower Ford Mustang, and Saito meets the pony car's challenge with a drift-prepped Lamborghini Murcielago. The drivers hit a curving road and show expert car control as the men slide these very different vehicles just inches from each other. Eventually, night descends, and they add some fire to the scene to give the stunts a more apocalyptic look. The production values for this short clip are phenomenal, and the editing makes the viewer feel right in the middle of the action. If you want to get behind the scenes of this impressive display of drifting, Speedhunters did a great job capturing the event in photos. Related Video:

Mazda Turnpike in Japan shut down for racing

Mon, Dec 29 2014

The people behind Motorhead Magazine in Japan clearly have some friends in high places. Not only did they manage to shutdown eight kilometers of the Mazda Turnpike up the Hakone mountain, but they invited some of the country's premiere racers to take a drive up the hill. This wasn't just a Sunday cruise either. Featuring a BMW Z4 from the Super GT series, a classic Ford GT40, two flavors of Nissan GT-R and two takes on the Subaru Impreza WRX STI, these guys came ready to run. When an opportunity to let racecars challenge a curvy mountain road presents itself, you don't squander it. Thankfully, the folks at Motorhead knew that and outfitted the course with a plethora of cameras and high-quality sound equipment to capture the action. The result is nothing short of sublime. Take the video's urging to turn up your speakers for this one, and watch as these racers hit ludicrous speeds in a beautiful place never meant for them.
