You are bidding on a beautiful 1967 early bronco with the legendary 289 mated up to a Ford AOD 4 speed automatic overdrive transmission that has undergone a restoration within the past year. Some items covered in this restoration were engine and suspension work, metal work, new paint and various other odds and ends that will be described in the next few paragraphs. Included with the sale is a 1967 Bronco specific shop manual as well as receipts that date back to 2007 spanning 3 owners. I purchased this vehicle back in November of 2012, the odometer at the time of purchase
was 62,954 although I suspect it has rolled over. Ive put 5400 miles myself since having
the gauge cluster rebuilt. In 2011, at
approximately 57,000 miles the previous owner had the engine rebuilt and added a few power options to include; 351 cam,
roller rockers, installed new edelbrock performer intake and 1403 electric
choke carburetor, headers, starter, spark plugs and wires, air cleaner,
etc. New 3.5 inch lift and extended
radius arms, as well as new rebuild kits for the axles and new gaskets for the
differentials. Installed a used AOD with
an advance adapter kit. New gas tank with sender. Class 2 hitch. Stainless steel quick release door hinges. Floor and rust
repair and upgraded front Chevy disc brakes, 15 inch black daytona wheels with 33x12.5 Toyo MT open country, to name a few. When I picked up the Bronco back in 2012 it was having transmission and electrical problems. Transmission issues were due to a cracked case and an incorrect rebuild which caused the trans to slip at low rpms and shift hard at high rpms. I spent $2700 to find and rebuild a whole new AOD case over at Advance Automatics in El Cajon, CA. The day I got the Bronco back with the fresh trans I took it for a drive only to have it break down on me as a bundle of wires caught fire under the dashboard. That's when I decided to build my own harness keeping only a few of the stock wires that were untouched. About 90% of the wires from the firewall forward are new. What started as a simple daily driver build turned into a continued restoration. Since ive owned the Bronco here is a short list of work ive done, any work outsourced was performed at Advance automatics or Beach city broncos in El Cajon. All parts purchased were from well known vendors such as; Wild Horses, LMC truck, BC broncos, James Duff, CJ pony parts, Jegs, Summit, Oreillys, etc... Within past year: Various door, tailgate, hood gasket sets and seals Rebuilt carburetor Rebuilt AOD transmission with correct advance adapter
case. $2700.00 - case and rebuild / $634.00 Advance adapter kit New flow kooler water pump and robert shaw high flow thermostat New old stock timing cover with gasket New power steering pump, pulley, belt, and hoses New 1 wire alternator New old stock fan shroud New fuel filter and hoses New spark plugs New upper and lower radiator hoses with lower anti-compression spring New vacuum hoses, PCV valve Rebuilt distributor, installed pertronix II electronic ignition Flamethrower II coil New H4 headlamps, wire harness fused and relayed New horn Most wires under dash replaced Rebuilt gauge cluster Installed Autometer water temp gauge Installed but not wired in Autometer oil press gauge Recovered front and rear stock seats in black leather/gray fabric, drivers seat has 1/4 tear New paint, paint supplies total $1000 alone without labor Undercoat interior floor Lizard skin + undercoat underside floor Undercoat inside of doors + 3M wax spray in doors and rockers New front and rear chrome bumpers and side view mirrors BC Broncos media console w/IPOD hookup and speaker 90's ranger steering colum with working intermittent wipers, horn, etc. all electric works Bronco custom car cover Painted but not installed classic bubble scoop New speedometer cable, gauge speed is accurate New e-brake cable, parking brake springs New tailgate silencer Cutout fender heat exchanger
Within past 4 months: New BC Broncos soft top. Side windows and rear are removable to run as a Safari top. $1600 after shipping New power brake booster with proportioning valve New James duff steering dampner New DOT approved front 3 point seatbelts and 2 point rear
belts (Not cheap, DOT legal in all 50 states) New valve cover gaskets Readjusted roller rockers New fuel pump and hoses Repainted engine in correct Ford blue New DOT approved windshield There are various other odds and ends I have fixed. I also still have some parts on order. For example, ive cleaned and rebuilt the
original WARN hubs but they continue to stick so I have brand new WARN premium
hubs being shipped. Waiting on 2 tie rod
rebuilt kits and stop lamp switch. Ordered aftermarket 3 spoke steering wheel and momo adapter hub. With all the work that has been completed please keep in
mind this is a 47 year old vehicle and it should be driven as such. In the past 2 years I've only put approximately 5400 miles because my job keeps me away. I hate to see this one go but Im only selling this to
fund a family wagon overland build. This
is not a concourse level restoration but it is very nice as I get compliments
everywhere I go. I built this rig
exactly as I wanted. While I was
stationed in Port Hueneme I drove this vehicle every other week from Port
Hueneme to San Diego, a 180 mile trip one way without issue. Im now stationed in Mississippi and use this
as my daily driver. It has performed flawlessly thru Los Angeles traffic in 90 degree weather, and thru the snow packed woods in 28 degree winter weather in Gulfport. If you have further questions or would like to check out the vehicle in person feel free to contact me. I can also give you my screen name on classicbroncos.com so you can see every issue ive had since taking ownership. The odometer reading will fluctuate as this is my daily driver. That being said there are subtle rock chips and wear tear blemishes from being driven that I am currently taking care of. As stated above, I installed a new DOT approved windshield this past weekend to replace the cracked one it came with. This vehicle is being sold "as-is" with NO warranty either expressed or implied. I reserve the right to end this auction early in the event it sells before the auction ends. Offers are welcome but please no trades. Only payments accepted are cash in hand or wire transfer from your bank directly to mine. I bank with Wells Fargo.

Ford Escort returns, just not for US
Sat, 19 Apr 2014Ford is set to give the burgeoning Chinese market its very own C-segment model, while also reviving one of the brand's more notable nameplates. The new Escort, which will make its world debut at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show will be built in the People's Republic at the Changan Ford joint venture facility.
The Escort's exterior is best thought of as a mix of the finer points from the US market Focus and Fusion, with the Aston Martin-ish grille and narrow, wraparound taillights presenting a clean look at either end of the car. It's all fairly true to the concept car from last year's Shanghai Motor Show. That said, this exterior job is almost too clean. There doesn't seem to be a lot of character or substance beyond the typical Ford looks.
There's a similar issue in the cabin - it all looks pretty nice, but the design is rather plain, particularly when viewed alongside the display-filled cabin of a US-spec car. Still, there looks to be a fair amount of space in both the front and back seats, and the trunk isn't exactly tiny, either.
Jerry Seinfeld doesn't love Sarah Jessica Parker's new Country Squire in latest CiCGC
Fri, 20 Jun 2014Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee has finally returned for its fourth season of combining Jerry Seinfeld, a miscellaneous celebrity and a cup of java. But rather than fondly remembering some older piece of automotive machinery, this time around, Seinfeld is utterly unable to keep his hatred of Sarah Jessica Parker's 1976 Ford LTD Country Squire from coming out to hilarious effect.
However, Parker has such a high level of infectious enthusiasm for her recently purchased Country Squire that she seems to win over Seinfeld by the end - at least a little bit. For most of their time together, the two of them drive around Manhattan and the suburbs waxing nostalgic about what things were like when these wagons were ubiquitous.
Since this is actually SJP's car, she and Seinfeld trade off driving duties, and the image above should give you some indication of Seinfeld's reaction to the Sex and the City star behind the wheel. It seems this '70s land yacht might be a little too much for her to handle in New York traffic. Regardless, she is absolutely in love with her Ford.
2015 Ford Focus gets more Aston-y [w/video]
Tue, 04 Mar 2014With more and more members of the Ford brand adopting a new familial face, the Focus has been left looking like an odd man out. At the Geneva Auto Show, though, it properly rejoined the family, adopting the now familiar Aston Martin-ish grille that's proliferated throughout the range.
Overall, we're liking the refreshed Focus' look. Aside from the new grille, the headlights have been restyled and now look like elongated versions of the lamps on the Focus ST. Functionally, those headlamps are bi-xenon units, complete with an adaptive front lighting system. Out back, the rear retains the same overall look, which has been smoothed out for 2015.
In the cabin, the second-generation of Ford's much-maligned Sync system makes its debut. Sync 2, as it's called, is supposedly more intuitive than the first-gen system. Ford is promising "one-shot" navigation functions for the system. Saying "I'm hungry," should bring up a list of nearby restaurants. Of course, we'll be reserving final judgment until we can test the new system in person.
