Uncut 1968 Ford Bronco 289 V-8 91k Miles on 2040-cars
Cedar Park, Texas, United States
First, look at all the Broncos that have cut rear fenders. I'm guessing 75% have the rear fenders cut. This is a restored 1968 Ford Bronco. This is not a frame off restoration but is very well done. 289 V-8 with 91,000 (believed to be original) miles. Rebuilt engine at 85,389 bored out .30 over (tried .10 but could not get the back cylinders perfectly round). No performance parts were installed, only tried to bring it back to factory condition. 3 speed manual transmission that shifts and pulls excellent. Clutch replaced and pressure plate resurfaced at 81,000 miles. 4x4 works fine and the truck is a serious head turner. Replaced both fuel tanks with polyethylene tanks and new sending units. Interior finished in original style and material. Frame cleaned, Loctite Rust Extend applied (not rusty, just precautionary), painted black. Floor pans are original and only had some small pinholes that were tack welded before front section was sprayed with bedliner. Interior rear section had no problems (not so much as a dent) and was only painted. Floor heat shield/matting applied before new carpet was installed. Truck is painted in the correct, original 1968 Ford Meadowlark Yellow as determined by the VIN in 2011. New door handles, door mirrors, lenses were installed. 3 core aluminum radiator installed. New fuel pump, carburetor, oil pump and water pump at time of engine rebuild. Power disk brake conversion installed in 2009 but master cylinder has leaked and caused paint to come off the fender as seen in the pictures. Flow Masters Dual exhaust and power disk brake conversion are the only items not original to the truck. It has a manual choke (I preferred this set up versus an auto choke on the carburetor). Fuel gauge does not work but it has two fuel tanks. I fill up when one runs out so I never worry about the gauge working. Vacuum wipers weak so I would replace with an electric conversion. Most of the interior knobs and cables have been replaced. New Goodyear Wrangler 235/75 15 tires with less than 1,000 miles. One small oil leak from dipstick tube in oil pan. I have owned this truck for 12 years and slowly had much of the work completed. It has a full hard top in very good condition but I did not restore it since I leave the Bronco in the garage with the top off. I still have some extra replacement parts as I bought more than one of many items such as door seals. I have the original front drums if you'd like them. There are a few nicks here but I have tuch up paint for when those mishaps take place. Insured at $20k through Haggerty Classic Car Insurers and they have to approve the amount of coverage requested. I would drive this truck across the country without any concern. It was my everyday driver when I first got it and drove it from Nashville, TN to New Orleans when I moved in 2002 in one day without any problems at all. It is currently tagged and inspected in Austin, Texas and I drive it about two weekends a month. I'm sure I've forgotten items that have been taken care of but I think you get the picture. You can email me with questions or if you prefer, give me a call (985) 774-9609. Bronco is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end this auction at anytime prior to the end of the auction unless the reserve has been met. Shipping, delivery and transportation of vehicle at buyer's sole expense. I can deliver to a shipping depot in Austin, Texas only. $500 non refundable deposit via paypal within 48 hours after auction close. Balance to be paid via personal check, money order, cash or certified bank draft within 7 days of auction close. Vehicle released after all funds have been paid. Clear Texas title ready for transfer. Thanks for looking. Phil |

Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue
Fri, 12 Sep 2014Ford is recalling about 70,209 examples of the 2005-2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and the 2006-2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid because the cooling pumps for their hybrid systems could fail.
According to the company's defect notice, it's possible for the original "Motor Electronics Coolant (MEC) Pump" to wear out and fail, which would could cause the hybrid system to overheat. If this happens, the vehicle goes into a safety mode that takes away most or all of its power. However, braking and steering still operate normally. After cooling down, the affected models restart normally. The company says that it's not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this problem.
Ford will begin repairing the vehicles in late October, and dealers will be installing improved, brushless pumps on the affected models at no charge to owners. If drivers had their pumps fail before this recall, they can contact Ford for a possible reimbursement.

2015 Ford Mustang will tell authorities how you crashed and if you were belted [w/video]
Sat, 28 Jun 2014When the 2015 Ford Mustang hits dealers, it will be with a new batch of features that will power up Sync's 911 Assist feature, and provide an even greater degree of information to first responders in the event of an accident.
911 Assist will already make a phone call, via a Bluetooth-connected phone, should you bin your car. The automatic message to first responders is a pre-recorded blurb from Ford. With the new enhancements, though, emergency personnel can learn about the maximum change in velocity and whether the crash involved a front, rear, side or a rollover impact. 911 Assist will also send information about how many seat belts were in use and if airbags deployed, allowing more accurate dispatch of resources.
"Sync will only broadcast relevant information to save time, and it constructs a very efficient message for the operator," said David Hatton, the global project leader with Ford Connected Services. "After the introductory message, the voice line opens automatically and occupants can speak directly with the operator via Sync's hands-free functionality."
Former Ford CEO Alan Mulally lands on Google board
Wed, 16 Jul 2014Former Ford CEO Alan Mulally often referred to the Blue Oval as a technology company when he led the automaker. Now he'll be offering guidance to a different kind of technology firm: Google.
Mulally was appointed to Google's board of directors July 9, and late Tuesday, it was announced that he will serve on the company's audit committee. The veteran executive led Ford from September 2006 until he retired in June, succeeded by Mark Fields.
While Mulally will act as a board member - rather than in a managerial role - his presence adds credibility to Google's recently announced plans to produce an autonomous car. The ambitious program calls for 100 prototypes to begin testing later this summer. Production of the car is rumored to be in collaboration with a Detroit area performance company, Roush.
