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.

NHTSA investigating Ford's solution to May 2014 power steering recall

Tue, Apr 7 2015

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating a complaint that Ford's response to a May 2014 recall of the 2008 to 2011 Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner doesn't quite go far enough to solve a troubling power-steering problem. Roughly a year ago, Ford recalled nearly a million vehicles after it was found that a problem with the torque sensor's communication with the power steering control module could cut steering assistance for drivers. While manual steering would still be available, the problem was enough to ask drivers to report in to have the PSCM inspected, and if necessary, replaced (along with the torque sensor, or in dramatic cases, the entire steering column). That would only happen, though, if trouble codes were being thrown. If there weren't any problems, dealers were told to simply update the PSCM's software so that any issues between it and the torque sensor would simply throw a visual and audio warning – power steering would still be maintained. The petitioner claimed that following the recall work, he still experienced a problem with the torque sensor. According to NHTSA, a claim was made that Ford didn't go far enough in its solution to the problem, and that "the software update itself may in fact cause further issues with the affected vehicle's power steering, causing it to fail, and ultimately requiring replacement of the torque sensor or entire steering column." The petition was filed in early February and is now officially being looked into by NHTSA.

RTR Spec 5 Concept shows off 2015 Ford Mustang's drifty potential

Wed, 05 Nov 2014

Meet the Ford Mustang RTR Spec 5 Concept, a fully functional drift car that, according to our team in Sin City, has been doling out demo drifts in front of the Las Vegas Convention Center.
Destined to be the flagship of RTR's Tactical Performance Line, the Spec 5 Concept is, in addition to its 5.0-liter Aluminator V8 engine, chock full of performance parts that you can buy for your very own 2015 Mustang. In addition to the Ford Racing engine, the OEM parts supplier has lent the Spec 5 an aluminum radiator and a close-ratio six-speed transmission.
ASD Motorsports provided the front lower control arms, while the car itself rides on a fully customized coilover suspension. Magnaflow and American Racing have provided the exhaust system and headers, respectively. 20-inch HRE wheels, designed for RTR, are wrapped in sticky Nitto rubber.
