Have you noticed that these early Broncos are only increasing in value? The first generation of the early Bronco was built from 1966-1977, with a total of 225,585 produced. U13 Roadsters like this one were only built in '66, '67, and '68, with a total of only 5000 built over that 3-year production run. According to Bronco experts, there are less than 200 in existence today, and perhaps only 50 or so in restored every day driver condition. After 15 years together, I just learned that Ol' Blue is even more rare than I knew.  VIN indicates that Blue came off the line in September (second month of production) and the very rare ' EYEBROW ' GRILL & TAILGATE confirm that.   

'Ol Blue is the real deal. I am selling a TRUE U13 bronco built in 1966 and as a bonus you get the hard top and doors.   I REALLY hate to get rid of 'Ol Blue, but I need cash to further develop my evolutionary website . Feel free to check it out and preregister AdFor.US. We will be launching Globally later this year.   I don't have to sell Blue.  But If I don't sell, I will have to delay  AdFor.US  for a couple of months and work to earn the money to finish patenting and development.  

I purchased this truck in Georgia (no salt or snow) 15 years ago and have driven it across the country a couple of times. Blue is my daily driver and has been for nearly 6 months and 12 states.  After 8 years (mostly garaged in Nebraska, we drove up to Seattle, Washington (add 5 states).  We are on our way to Florida now, with a few quick stops.  Most of the work i've done to Blue is in the under carriage & externally. HOOKER HEADERS, with dual mufflers,  FRONT DISK BRAKES, Wild Horses 3.5 inch ROCK CRAWLER 11PACK LEAF SPRINGS, RANCHO 9000 five way ADJUSTABLE shocks all the way around. 23 GALLON STEEL FUEL TANK, matched Drop Pitman, Poly Urethane Bushings and Newish- 1yr-OPTIMA YELLOWTOP BATTERY (recharge even if 2VDC--Awesome!) I have also installed new upper and lower door rubbers. The rear driveshaft was custom reinforced by Atlanta Drive line. The front driveshaft is not sold with the truck as I lost it in one of my moves. I had a rubber undercoating sprayed on more than 10 years ago and it is still protecting very well.Less than 2k miles ago i added 2 brand new BF Goodrich A/Ts to the Hankooks (with 85% good tread)  on clean alloy rims. 

Original Floor pans and door jams are still about 96% there and can hold my 225lbs standing on them. I thought about patching the floor pan seams, but seeing them as they are is a testament to how well this 47 year old stallion is. Original Rocker and quarter panels are better than 99%. TRULY, THERE IS NO VISIBLE RUST ON THIS TRUCK!  I have parked this truck 3 times for more than a year and it's '69 Fairlane 302 V8 started right up. I have a double barrel Edelbrock carb on it, for fuel efficiency. In the last 6 months I have added or replaced:

65Kv H.E.I. distributor, 8mm wires & plugs 
New 3 core, Triple Flow aluminum radiator. 
Water Pump
Heavy Duty Clutch
Heavy Duty Dual Timing chain (Comp Cams) 
New calipers and pads 
New chrome power brake booster
New heater control valve
Upgraded (blade fused) wiring
Wiper Arms
Carpet

Also, I just had a new rust protective coating sprayed on the undercarriage, in engine compartment, in cargo area, inside hard-top, under hood and inside quarter panels. I have included some prep pictures to show how clean the oem metal really is underneath the 8y/o paintjob.
 
Ol' Blues' engine purrs like a lion. It was rebuilt just before I purchased and has been driven less than 15k since.  (Updated--  Installed new dual timing chain 08 February 2013-   [which means fresh engine paint, new oil, new coolant.]  Check out the pictures and video on facebook @ Bronco N Buck.) He's quick and nimble.  I JUST POSTED ON THE ROAD PICTURES on the fb page.  See for yourself what Blue can do!

This truck is 75% done. Only easy stuff left to do. What it needs- (optional) power steering ** complete kit on ebay right now for $600 ** , a/c, wheel spacers, new fender flares (or repair the ones that are included with truck) and Paint, ( note- after loading Blue down for the move to Florida, I noticed the drivers side rear spring and shock appear to be sagging and causing the tailgate to separate from the quarter panel and the back window is unable to latch because of this gap. The shock is under warranty.  I hope to have this resolved when I get to Omaha. I can only budget one repair/ upgrade at a time and this week I purchased windshield wipers to allow me to get through the mountain passes.)  

This IS a fantastic and rare investment. In ten years it will double in value.  It doesn't get better than this, put your tax return to good use.  EBR is becoming more and more popular.   We have 3 stops lined up en-route to Nebraska for potential buyers.  We are traveling on I-84 , I-680 through Yakima, southern Idaho, N. Utah, Wyoming, Denver,  I have had Blue listed on ebay for two weeks and we had over 6000 page views and 120 watchers in 14 days....  DON'T MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY!!!  I have had 7 best offers, 5 trade offers and Blue was even sold once at full asking price, but buyers finances fell short.   PLEASE HAVE YOUR FINANCES READY BEFORE YOU BID!! 

Extras that are included:
Doors, Steel Hard Top, Push Bar (original add-on), Rubber Cargo Mat, Dual CB Antenna's. Heavy duty Safari (cargo) roof rack and ladder. (500lbs), bikini top. I will also drop ship the original front seats and rear bench if I get my asking price.  (the driver seat leans, but all seats are otherwise in good condition), Foam headliner pad. 1965 FoMoCo radio

Thanks for looking!

Currently,  we just left Seattle this morning 4/15 and expect to be in Omaha, Nebraska  by the expiration of this listing.   I am willing to drive Blue ANYWHERE in the Continental United States for an extra $1k or less (depending on where).  

I recently started a facebook page for Blue and I, where you can see a couple of pictures and follow our moves.  Check it out and 'like' our page-- Bronco N Buck.    


Call Joel @ 402-210-9568 

(fyi)  I know people are trying to put the cash together for Blue, but you have to hurry.   If this listing goes much longer,  I will have more time by then to make and add videos and get much better photos.  I believe Blue to be worth at least $2k more than I have him listed for and when I find the time to get picture of Blue of a lift, videos, etc --- I WILL INCREASE THE PRICE.  Give me a call and let's see what we can work out. 

Jeep & Bronco people wave to each other when passing on the roadways...
Bronco people wave and then point to a place to pull over and talk about their rigs.

Ford to cease Australian automaking operations after 90 years

Thu, 23 May 2013

Ford began manufacturing cars in Australia in 1925 with the Model T. In 2016, Ford will stop manufacturing cars Down Under, including the Falcon and the Territory SUV. Ford Australia CEO Bob Graziano has reportedly confirmed the closure of the company's Broadmeadows assembly plant and the Geelong engine plant, both in the state of Victoria. There will be 650 jobs lost at Broadmeadows, 510 sacrificed at Geelong. Of the roughly 3,000 workers the Blue Oval has in Australia, it's said it will try to retain about 1,000 of them at its R&D and product development facilities.
The writing hasn't just been on the wall, it's been a regular item in all the papers and on Ford's bottom line for years. As recently as 2003, Ford sold nearly 75,000 Falcons, but over the next four years, annual sales dropped by something like 10,000 units, and over the last two years, it has sold less than 20,000 per year. It isn't only Ford that has suffered - sales of the other large, locally produced sedan, the Holden Commodore, have also gone over the precipice, triggering the same kind of angst about Holden's continued existence. Ford is the smallest of Australia's local automakers, Holden and Toyota the others, and has posted losses of $AUD141 million last year ($136M US) and $AUD600 million ($580M US) in the past five years. Graziano said the cost of manufacturing is simply too expensive in the country, twice as high as Europe and three times as high as Asia, and there no way to make a business case for staying in the country.
In January 2012, Ford Australia announced it would stay in the country until at least 2016, but by July of the same year, most outside observers were quietly declaring that 2016 would be the last year of Ford Down Under, and even the speculation was making other observers nervous. Ford received money from the Victorian government last year to aid its refresh of the Falcon and Territory, which will continue on schedule for the 2014 model year. A front- and all-wheel-drive sedan on a global platform is predicted to replace the Falcon, with some other SUV expected to replace the Territory. The company says it still intends to expand its lineup in the country.

Ford recalling select Taurus, Explorer and Lincoln MKS models over fuel tanks

Sun, 31 Mar 2013

Ford is recalling certain 2012 Taurus, 2013 Explorer and 2012 Lincoln MKS models over fuel tank concerns. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, vehicles built between July 19, 2011 and March 15, 2012 may have been built with fuel tanks that have a "marginally sealed seam" on the side. Those seams may not provide the strength necessary to protect the tank from rupture during a collision. They may also leak. The recall covers a total of 3,037 vehicles. NHTSA says that leaked fuel, in the presence of an ignition source, could easily cause a fire.
Dealers will inspect the tanks and replace them as need be free of charge. Owners can expect to be notified once the campaign begins on or around April 22, 2013. You can read the full NHTSA recall notice below for more information.
