The gauges work

lights & signals work
Doors close well
glass not cracked, side windows roll up and down
Wipers ok (reinstalled since photos)
Current odometer reading is in the 20,000 range. I assume this to be
120,000 miles but again, it is a 1972 so... just an assumption. The
mileage on the restoration work is what is listed above, 0 at time of
photos.





The body on this gleaming 70s beauty was just redone with a gorgeous clear
coated finish with PPGs Bay Roc Blue Poly, a correct color for Ford
Broncos from 1972. The paint has been color sanded and buffed
It was totally disassembled for paint, ie: The grill was pulled off, all
lamps removed, fenders pulled off, doors removed, all door glass,
hardtop, tailgate removed, hood removed, etc. Body was stripped to metal.
The front fenders showed some age so they were both replaced new with
quality OEM style steel ones from Toms Bronco Parts. Rocker panels were
replaced, inner and outer. Front floors replaced. This work was all
performed by a competent body shop and was NOT a cheap job. It was done
in base coat clearcoat 2 stage urethane (2:1 ratio urethane clear), and
then color sanded and buffed to the glossy finish that you see in the
photos. The body is straight. The dash was painted at the same time,
along with the interior door jambs and doors inside. There is a spare
tire carrier, painted in the same shade of blue. Hood was pulled off of
the vehicle and painted separately, as were spare tire carrier, tailgate,
and license plate bracket. Grill painted in argent. The floors and inside
of tailgate were sprayed with a black spray on bed liner throughout.
Engine compartment painted in black. (Note: Some pictures were taken
before the wing/vent windows were correctly installed as they are now).
Full steel factory hardtop available with new white paint.
New hardtop weatherstrip and door weatherstrip also included.

Interior upholstery all new. Front bucket seats (original bronco buckets)
were rebuilt with repainted seat frames (in black) with new foam and all
new parchment covers. Seat centers were done in a textured material
similar to original Ford Bronco seats. Front door panels were made new to
match. Rear bench seat (original) was reupholstered with armrests in the
same quality material.

New chrome bumper. Chrome headlight rings, chrome grill letters with
custom painted red centers. New signal lenses.
Drivers side mirror new chrome, with additional passenger side chrome
mirror installed.





This has been a fun truck for me, picked up my Christmas tree in it and
I’m gonna miss it. Just in time for you to enjoy it for summer.

Ford recalls 83k Taurus and crossover models for halfshaft issue

Fri, 15 Aug 2014

Ford and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have issued a recall for some 83,250 vehicles in the US, for an issue with halfshafts. More specifically a "halfshaft retention circlip" might not have been properly installed on affected vehicles, with the result being halfshafts that may move improperly or disengage completely from the linkshaft while driving. The NHTSA release also notes that the issue may occur "without prior warning" which obviously factors in to the timeliness of getting this checked.
Should the halfshaft disengage, a few troubling things could happen. If it occurs while driving, power from the engine will no longer be transmitted to the wheels. And, if the vehicle is parked without the parking brake applied after disengagement of the circlip, vehicles may roll away even if they're transmissions have been placed in "Park."
Affected vehicles are as follows: Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX crossovers from model years 2012 to 2014; Ford Taurus and Lincoln MKS sedans from model years 2013 to 2014; Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT vehicles from model years 2013 to 2014.

Ford Focus RS ready to make our hot hatch dreams real

Fri, 17 Oct 2014

Ford's current hot hatch siblings the Fiesta ST and Focus ST are already two pretty great entries into the segment, but there's always a desire for a little more. Thankfully, it looks like the Blue Oval is ready to satiate that need because it's continuing to test the even more powerful Focus RS around Europe. According to our spy shooters, these shots come from near the Nürburgring.
As with previous photos, Ford engineers continue to heavily camouflage the front end of the RS prototypes, but there's a big difference here. Unlike earlier ones, this example appears to have a closer-to-production-ready front bumper rather than just a horizontal strip for the license plate. That may point to development getting somewhat closer to wrapping up. Although, this one lacks the larger rear wing from prior testers, and the exhaust also appears to be a work in progress with the rear diffuser covered in mesh in these latest shots.
The RS is rumored to be using the 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder from the 2015 Mustang, but power is reportedly turned up from 310 horsepower in the 'Stang to somewhere between 325 hp and 350 hp for the Focus. Routing all that just through the front wheels could be a recipe for serious torque steer, and all-wheel drive is potentially being used for better traction.

US Ford Focus RS to be imported from Europe

Tue, 21 Oct 2014

Rumors about the forthcoming Ford Focus RS are flourishing into what sounds like a very impressive new hot hatch. The latest scuttlebutt gives the first indication about when we might see a few of these fast Focuses on roads here in the US.
Unnamed insiders reportedly confirmed to The Truth About Cars that Ford plans to launch the Focus RS in the US in 2016. However, getting one might not be so easy - the boosted powertrain means the car would likely need to be imported from Europe. That's likely going to keep the total number available in the US rather low. The sources estimate a price tag that's a bit more expensive than the top Focus ST3, which starts around $28,500, plus $825 destination.
It seems that a pretty potent package comes for all of that cash, though. The Focus RS reportedly uses a 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder making between 325 and 350 horsepower, with a torque-vectoring all-wheel drive system to get that muscle to the road. The test mules also wear more aggressive front and rear fascias, dual exhaust tips, larger brakes and sticky tires. It sounds like a great formula on top of the already enjoyable Focus ST.
