Early 1966 Ford Bronco Half Cab Halfcab on 2040-cars
Salt Lake City, Utah, United States
|
Original unmolested 1966 Ford Bronco Half Cab. This half-cab was built in early September 1965 and could very well be the first Half-cab bronco ever produced. It is in great original condition and still maintains most of it's original Ford paint. It has brand new tires, brand new exhaust from the engine to the rear of the bronco. The bench seat has just been recovered with the foam and springs getting replacement parts as well. It runs and drives great. The original six cylinder engine purrs like it should. The three speed manual shift transmission shifts perfectly and doesn't make any unusual noises. The bronco was ordered early in production and was one of the first bronco half-cabs produced. The earliest of the broncos had the extra long transfer case shifter (as can be seen in the pictures) and this one still has the original floor mat. This bronco was also ordered with the optional trim package which included AM radio that still works Outside rear view mirror, door arm rests, passenger and driver sunvisors, chrome front and rear bumpers, chrome gas cap and chrome trim rings on the taillights
On Sep-13-14 at 08:27:26 PDT, seller added the following information: UPDATE..... I have had a lot of questions. Let me start with this is a daily driver. I just drove this Bronco from my house (at 6300 feet in the mountains of Utah) to the muffler shop and Cabelas (at 4000 feet in the city) for a round trip of 175 miles. The bronco drives straight and does not pull left or right Just straight. No unusual noises. The motor never got over the halfway mark on the temperature gauge and the oil pressure was 45 PSI and steady at idle or 55 mph. The windshield wipers are VACUUM and work perfectly. The brakes are in great working condition and need nothing. I recently replaced the left rear wheel cylinder and overhauled the master cylinder. I did not replace the Master cylinder, I simply bought a rebuild kit and overhauled the ORIGINAL master cylinder to keep the original parts. This is an extremely good daily driver and needs nothing (except a new owner) and will give many years of service to the new owner. I have included more pictures of the interior for those needing to see the seat, dash, radio and speedometer.. Thanks and happy bidding Randy |

Ford Mustang returning to Australia in 2016
Mon, 15 Jul 2013Australia's Herald Sun newspaper has reported that the next-generation Ford Mustang is heading Down Under in 2016, just as Ford is hanging the "Closed for Good" sign on its Australian manufacturing operations and sending the Falcon to its grave. Ford hasn't offered any official word on the matter, but the paper says that Ford's global VP of sales and marketing, Jim Farley, is flying to Australia to make the announcement himself.
While Ford converted Mustangs in the early 2000s from left-hand to right-hand drive for the Australian market and then sold them at high prices, it's been almost five decades since Ford imported a dedicated right-hand-drive Mustang to Oz. The arrival of the global model specifically made for places like Australia and the UK means Ford will also be able to offer them at better prices than the converted models; the Herald Sun says the price is expected to be "close to $50,000."
And that's for one of the "V8 performance models," which are the only ones Australia will get; Ford apparently won't send the turbocharged four cylinder or the V6. The Aussies could find out in a month from now whether this rumor is true. We will all find out what this Mustang fuss is about when the car debuts at next year's New York Auto Show.
Production Ford Escort heading for Beijing
Wed, 16 Apr 2014Ford's long-dormant Escort nameplate returned affixed to a sedan concept at last year's Shanghai Motor Show. While not exactly a beauty, it showed a clean, straightforward take on Ford's current styling. The Blue Oval said at the time that it wanted to create a model that was stylish "but not one that is arrogant or pretentious." Job done. A year later, it looks like the minimalist vehicle might make its production debut at the Beijing Motor Show.
Autocar claims that the streetgoing version has been confirmed to it for the upcoming show, but so far, Ford isn't saying. If unveiled, the Escort is likely to be produced locally for the Chinese market with a domestic partner. Powertrain details remain a secret, but it seems highly likely that any production model would use a small three- or four-cylinder engine and front-wheel drive. Sales in other major world markets like ours are unlikely, but a test car was recently spotted in Europe.
Autoblog contacted Ford for confirmation, but the automaker demurred, with a spokesperson saying only, "At the moment, we are not confirming any vehicles planned for the show." It looks like we will have to wait to know for sure.
Ford EcoBoost smashes records at Daytona
Thu, 10 Oct 2013Some mighty machines have lapped the banks of the Daytona International Speedway over the years: thunderous V8-powered stock cars, Le Mans-conquering Group C prototypes, open-wheel Champ Cars, knee-dragging superbikes... heck, the infield lake has even hosted powerboat racing. But this - this is the fastest car ever to lap the legendary raceway.
What you're looking at is the new Daytona Prototype being prepared by Riley Technologies for the new United SportsCar Championship. The car, released just last week, is powered by a new 3.5-liter turbocharged V6 from Ford's EcoBoost family, and just obliterated the top speed at the track with a blistering 222.971 miles per hour through the traps.
That's enough to annihilate the previous record that was set, also under Ford power, by Bill Elliott while placing his Thunderbird on pole for the 1987 Daytona 500 that he would go on to win. His 210.364 mph record had stood for 26 years until now.
