Gorgeous blue 70s machine with low reserve!

Just finished doing a 6 month long paint/body/interior/exterior restoration

feels good thru all gears

Dana 44 Front Axle  and Dana 20 Transfer Case, 9” Rear axle

New paint

New interior

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.

Martini Mustang is a 'what if moment' gone right

Wed, 23 Oct 2013

Feast your eyes on a masterpiece. This is Steve Strope's Ford Mustang in the classic fastback bodystyle, and as you'll notice, it sports the signature colors of Martini Racing, a livery that's as legendary as any Gulf Racing-styled car. But the red, white and blues of the Martini stripe down this Mustang's middle tell only a very small part of the story, in the latest video from Petrolicious.
What would you guess is under the hood? A 289-cubic-inch V8? Maybe a 302, or some absurd Ford crate engine? Maybe Strope went all Tokyo Drift - he's actually responsible for the "Hammer" Plymouth Satellite driven by Vin Diesel at the end of the movie - and found an RB26DETT to drop into the pony car? You'd be wrong on all counts.
This mad, mad man somehow finagled a Ford-Lotus engine from a 1966 Indianapolis 500 car into the Mustang's engine bay. Yes, a Mustang with an engine designed for a 160-mile-per-hour, open-wheel racecar. That's like someone in 40 years dropping McLaren's 2.4-liter V8 from the MP4-28 into a Scion FR-S. It'd just make a monster.

Formula Drift kicks off 11th season on Streets of Long Beach

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

The 2014 Formula Drift series kicked off last weekend in Long Beach, and saw Chris Forsberg, who you'll recall went mad and drifted around a warehouse in an Infiniti M, take the title behind the wheel of his Hankook Tire Nissan 370Z (shown above).
Forsberg really ran away with the first round of competition, outscoring his closest opponent, second-place finisher Kenneth Moen and his Bridges Racing Nissan 240SX, by 20 points. Third place was 2013 championship winner Michael Essa and his Yokohama BMW M3, 30.5 points behind Forsberg.
In the manufacturers' title, Nissan took an early lead with 122 points, which isn't a huge surprise considering five of the top ten drifters were piloting either a Z or a product of the brand's S platform. Ford, which had two drivers (Justin Pawlak and Vaughn Gittin, Jr.) in the top ten, took home second place, while BMW is currently third in the manufacturers' standings.

Ford F-35 Lightning II Edition Mustang appears at EAA Oshkosh

Sat, 26 Jul 2014

Ford is back at the Experimental Aircraft Association AirVenture air show in Oshkosh, WI, on July 31 auctioning off its seventh Mustang for charity, and this is one seriously mean looking 2015 'Stang. All of the money from the sale goes to give free introductory flights to young people to get them interested in aviation.
We recently saw this latest EAA Mustang as a sketch. However, it looks a whole lot more menacing in person. Dubbed the Ford F-35 Lightning II Edition Mustang, it takes liberal inspiration from Lockheed Martin's latest fighter jet, and the customization makes the pony car look ready for a role in Top Gun.
On the outside, the special Mustang wears titanium-color paint that's offset by a black and yellow stripe running from hood to rear. Out back things get really wild with a mix of bright yellow and black that flows diagonally all the way to the rear spoiler. The design is based on the livery of early production F-35s. If the rousing color scheme isn't enough to get you interested, the car also gets a carbon fiber front splitter and rear diffuser, lowered suspension and a set of custom 21-inch wheels with yellow brake calipers.
