1967 Ford Bronco Sport.
This truck has been meticulously restored. I removed the body and disassembled the chassis. Everything was blasted and powder coated. The tub was blasted, primed and Al's linered on the underside. The interior portion of the tub was ceramic coated and then Al's linered. I have a little over 600 miles on her so far. Brand new crate 302 engine with a Edelbrock performer intake and Holley 600 cfm manual choke carb. From the factory she came with 4:11 gears and track lock front and rear. I have new bearing and seals throughout the axles. The front diff is the original Dana 30 and I have gone through it all including the king pins. Both the 3speed Transmission and Dana 20 have been refreshed with new bearings and seals. The Dana 20 is the original T style shifter and the 3 Speed is mounted on the floor. Some things I have added are the Power steering set up with a Delphi box, Front disk brake conversion, and also the power brake conversion, and also upgraded the wiper set up from vacuum to electric, and I have also installed a tach. I tried to keep the dash stock for the 67 year, however I added the switch for the dual fuel tank selector, and also the wiper switch. The dash was already cut for an after market radio so I kept that and installed a nice Sony system with 4 speakers cut into the fiberglass quarter panel inserts. The interior has a new black carpet and fiberglass quarter panel inserts. The front seats are stock buckets with Mustang Pony trim, the rear seat is a Tom's fold and tumble. The body has two new front fenders, and a new steel hood. Nothing else needed to be replaced. PPG paints and 3m seam sealers were used. I have extra paint left over that will come with the Bronco. I also have front fender flares that are painted but I did not want to drill into the new fenders. The roof is a Ramage soft top. The wheels are Pro Comp 17in, with 285 70 17 mud terrain tires. The new owner will also receive a disc with all the photos of the restoration. I have really enjoyed building this Bronco. She was in far better shape than my orange 75 (Chewch). The new owner will enjoy her for many years and miles. Please email any questions. David |

Ford gives S-Max the Vignale treatment in Milan
Wed, 09 Apr 2014Ford has a bit of a history in reviving the names of old coachbuilders it has long since gobbled up and using them to distinguish its top-of-the-line models in Europe. That's what it did for years with Ghia, and after having replaced it several years ago with the Titanium trim level, now it's doing it again with Vignale.
At the Frankfurt Motor Show last year, Ford revealed the Mondeo Vignale concept in both sedan and wagon body-styles, which are set to reach production next year. But before they do, the Blue Oval automaker is at it again, applying similar upgrades to the S-Max minivan and unveiling it in concept form in Milan this week.
Setting the Vignale concept apart from any other S-Max is its Milano Grigio rose-hued silver pearlescent paint, 21-inch alloys, chrome trim and hexagonal-pattern grille. Inside it's all ultra-soft quilted leather and aluminum trim, with tablet docking stations in the back and thinner, more flexible seats than the existing production version.
Ford Police Interceptors win acceleration war against Dodge, Chevy
Thu, 17 Oct 2013Just last month, Ford announced its first-ever non-pursuit-rated version of the Police Interceptor sedan for agencies looking to maximize fuel economy, but that doesn't mean that Ford is giving up on chasing down the bad guys. While the Dodge Charger can lay claim to the fastest lap time at the Grattan Raceway test facility held by the Michigan State Police, the results are now in for the Police Vehicle Evaluation acceleration tests. And Ford's Police Interceptor duo (sedan and utility) came out on top.
In the acceleration tests, Ford says that the Taurus-based PI Sedan with the newly available 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 was the quickest among prospective police cars in both 0-60 and 0-100 mile per hour times. The sedan posted a 0-60 time of 5.66 seconds with all-wheel drive and 5.71 seconds with front-wheel drive, besting V8-powered competitors like the Chevy Caprice and Dodge Charger by more than 0.3 seconds. These rivals close the gap on the AWD sedan in the 0-100 test with the Ford taking 13.5 seconds compared to the Chevy's time of 14.35 and the Dodge's time of 14.7.
As for utility vehicles, the Explorer-based PI Utility, which accounts for 60 percent of Ford's police vehicle sales, essentially went head-to-head with the V8-powered Chevy Tahoe with similar results. Equipped with the new EcoBoost engine option, this big SUV hit 60 mph in just 6.28 seconds and 100 mph in 15.51 seconds compared to times of 8.22 seconds and 21.95 seconds, respectively, for the Tahoe. Other important tests in the PVE include braking and top speed, but while no automakers have stepped up to boast about their numbers in either of these categories, Ford's images show that the V8 Caprice had the highest top speed of the cars at 155 mph while the Tahoe's 139-mph speed made it the fastest utility vehicle.
