Fully Restored 1967 Ford Bronco Sport on 2040-cars

US $35,000.00
Year:1967 Mileage:1000
Location:

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.

What next for Alan Mulally?

Wed, 23 Apr 2014

Alan Mulally has emerged as a hero when it comes to American manufacturing. He came to Ford in 2006 after serving as head of Boeing's commercial aircraft division, streamlined operations, sold off the costly elements of its Premier Automotive Group and saved Ford from having to be bailed out by the federal government like its cross-town rivals Chrysler and General Motors did. But as we reported mere days ago, he's widely expected to step down from the chief executive's office at Ford shortly.
So what's next for one of the most successful executives in the business? Hard to say, but don't expect Mulally to disappear into retirement. Though he didn't ultimately take the top job at Microsoft, industry insiders expect to see him in another influential position - likely as a board director or even chairman of another company. (We say "another company" and not Ford because while Bill Ford may have stepped aside as CEO to bring Mulally on board in the first place, we don't see him giving up his chairmanship of the board also.)
Mulally has likely already lined up his next move, and could either announce what that move will be as soon as Ford confirms Mark Fields as his successor, or could wait awhile. Insiders speculate that he could leverage his transportation and aerospace experience into a position at General Electric or a major airline, his manufacturing expertise to benefit a company like Procter & Gamble or his management skills at a consultancy firm.

Thieves still love older Hondas and pickups most, says NICB [w/video]

Wed, 20 Aug 2014

No one wants to have their car stolen, but a new study by the National Insurance Crime Bureau has some bad news for older Honda owners and pickup drivers. Fortunately, it has better news for drivers overall. The group is reporting that according to preliminary data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, thefts were down 3.2 percent in 2013 (versus 2012) to fewer than 700,000 cars. That's the lowest figure since 1967. That's also less than half of the peak of over 1.66 million thefts in 1991. "The drop in thefts is good news for all of us," says NICB President and CEO Joe Wehrle. "But it still amounts to a vehicle being stolen every 45 seconds and losses of over $4 billion a year."
Honda drivers might not find it such good news with older Accord and Civic models topping this year's theft study. Toyota and Dodge can't really celebrate, either, with two models each on the list, as well. Overall, this year's list was split evenly between foreign and domestic models, which were mostly pickups.
The 10 most likely vehicles to be stolen in 2013 were:

Ford acquires Livio to bolster connectivity biz

Thu, 26 Sep 2013

Ford Motor Company has announced the acquisition of Livio, a Ferndale, MI-based software development company best known for aftermarket in-car connectivity devices, but also as a supplier of technology for proprietary systems for automakers. Livio, co-founded by Sigal and Massimo Baldini, will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Ford Global Technologies.
"With the additional expertise Livio provides us, Ford intends to continue to lead the next generation of in-car connectivity with technology advancements that give consumers more options to access their devices on the go," said Paul Mascarenas, chief technical officer and vice president, Ford Research and Innovation, in a statement.
Ford is clearly trying to beef up its in-house tech capability around telematics and device connectivity. While the Blue Oval has been a leader in these areas with SYNC and MyFord Touch in terms of getting the systems into as many cars as possible, the execution of the applications have been criticized for glitches.
