VINTAGE 1977 FORD BRONCO
DESCRIPTION: If you are looking for a clean, straight forward vintage Bronco then look no further! This Bronco is extremely clean inside and out. The value of vintage Broncos continues to escalate. This is a not only a fun vehicle to own, it's also a sound investment. It kills me to sell this unique Bronco. I drove it out to Venice, CA 18 months ago and cruised in style beachside. I shipped it back to Indianapolis 5 months ago. This Bronco is ready for you to drive, show and enjoy the classic styling. I have owned many cars and I have never experienced the love I get from people when I drive this Bronco around town. It's like being on parade. Truthfully, people comment so often that it's almost annoying. The color is so beautiful and clean.
I have been amazed how well this Bronco drives. For a vehicle that is over 35 years old it drives like a dream. I would be away from Venice for months and it would start right up. You can tell it's never been abused. The motor runs smooth and quiet. The power steering makes navigation effortless. The brakes have been worked on and I have fairly new pads, but I will say it doesn't stop like a modern disc brakes. It takes getting used to, but they work perfectly. The body panels are straight and fit very well. All the doors open and close effortlessly. I believe my reserve is quite low for this vehicle. I had it appraised in LA in Sept for several thousand more.
BODY: This Bronco was solid to start with. There is a little rust bubbling on the back tailgate and above the windshield wipers, but it's hardly noticeable and could easily be fixed. The body is original sheet metal. The body was stripped down to bare metal then primed with epoxy and urethane primers. I had Ziebart spray the underbody ($400) in October.
FRAME / SUSPENSION: The frame is extremely clean. I put on new heavy GVW springs 2 years ago. They are in great shape. The rear axle is a 9 inch set with 3.50 gears which is all very tight. The front axle is a Dana 44 and is set with 3:50 gears, this is also tight and completely rebuilt. The frame does have one small repair on the front crossmember. It looks like someone had a tow hood welded on at one time.
ENGINE: The engine is the original equipment to this Bronco. I had the engine rebuilt in Venice for $2,000 at ASC Bronco. They are the best at what they do. I did a compression check and all 8 cylinders fall within spec (140-145 psi). It runs very strong and sounds great.
TRANSMISSION: The transmission is a stock 1977 Bronco 3 speed automatic which was rebuilt 2 1/2 years ago. The transfer case is a stock Dana 20. which works great. The shifter moves in & out of gears smoothly. The front lock hubs are in full functioning order. The automatic steering column was also completely rebuilt.
WHEELS: The rims are 15x8 aluminum Ford mods with 32x11.50 mud terrain tires. The tires have 60% tread and two of the rims have slight pitting. The tires have lots of life in them.
STEERING: The Bronco has factory power steering which works great! The tie rod ends and drag link are good. All ball joints are in great condition. There are factory rebuilt drum brakes. It stops great but it takes getting used to applying a little more force than you do with new cars.
ELECTRICAL: The entire dash and engine wire harness was removed from the Bronco and fixed. The wire harness was stripped of old tape. All lights and turn signals work except the light for the license plate is not working. I replaced the bulb but for some reason it is not coming on. Other than that it's great. The glove box has been replaced. The factory heater is great. I am having a small issue with one of the windshield wipers going a bit too high up. They work, but it's got a glitch.
INTERIOR: The inside of the Bronco has been completely sprayed with Urethane Bed Liner by a professional dealer. It looks great. The seats are OEM Factory Bronco seats. The seat belts are OEM correct units for this Bronco. I have a new hardtop that is removable. This car is simply beautiful. I installed a new stereo with CD player along with speakers. They are concealed in a really cool middle console.
EXTRA: This is a true 77 with gas filter doors on the rear quarter panels. This was a change made to the 1977 model.
TERMS: Important! This Bronco is for sale locally too so I reserve the right to end this auction at any time. I've been trying to delay selling it because I love it so much but I'm going to put a sign in the window and drive it around. It is such an attention getting that I'm not sure what will happen. I'm being honest. Please do not ask what the reserve is, but make your best offer. It is also sold as is without any warranty. I require a $1,000 nonrefundable deposit with in 48 hours of close. This must be made as a postal money order. No bank checks. Cash would be accepted if done in person. The remaining balance is due in 7 business days. This has to be cash or wire transfer. I will not release the Bronco or it's title until full payment is made. All payments would be made to Will Howe.
SHIPPING: Yes, I will ship the Bronco but it will be at your expense. You must make the arrangements or you can come pick it up in Indianapolis, Indiana.

A problem with the fuel line on certain examples of the Ford Edge has prompted the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall. The issue revolves around the metal housing on the fuel line pulse damper, which was apparently improperly manufactured in the first place and is prone to crack in certain circumstances, leading to a fuel leak. And as we all know, a fuel leak is not a good thing.
The problem affects model year 2012 and 2013 Edge crossovers equipped with the 2.0-liter engine and manufactured between September 2, 2010 and April 25, 2013 - a total of 27,933 units. Although the Lincoln MKX is closely related to the Edge, since it isn't offered with the same engine (to which the problem is related), the recall does not include the premium-badged version. See the recall notice below for further details.

The Basics: Ford is recalling a total of 1,898,728 vehicles to replace defective Takata front passenger-side airbags. This includes the 2007-2010 Ford Edge, 2006-2011 Ford Fusion, 2005-2011 Ford Mustang, 2007-2011 Ford Ranger, 2007-2010 Lincoln MKX and 2006-2011 Lincoln MKZ, Zephyr and Mercury Milan vehicles built in North America. The Problem: The defective airbags have been linked to ruptures that can send metal fragments at the passenger, due to deteriorating propellant. Injuries/Deaths: Ford claims it's not aware of any injuries due to the problem, but rupturing Takata airbags have been linked to a series of serious injuries and deaths. The Fix: Dealers will replace the passenger-side frontal airbag at no charge to the customer. If you own one: Look out for a letter from the manufacturer to arrange service at your local dealer. If you'd like to check if your vehicle is affected, click on the safety recalls link on Ford.com and enter your VIN. Related Video:
