1970 Ford Bronco on 2040-cars
Atlantic Beach, Florida, United States
For
sale is an uncut 1970 Ford Bronco with removable top. Mileage reads 117,000, however, I'm not sure if that is correct. I purchased this from an
older gentleman in Georgia whom was a mechanic. He was meticulous with the
engine which is evident in how well it drives. It starts up easily and the
steering, clutch, and breaks work great. There are no fluid leaks and does not
pull to the left or right. All lights and windshield wipers work. When you
press the windshield wiper water knob you can hear the motor working, but I am
waiting for the new solvent bottle to install. Windows open and glide smoothly
including the back hatch. It has the original a.m. radio, but it does not work. I have installed a new speaker for it. Also, the horn is not
working. I have owned
several Bronco's and by far this is the best running one I have ever owned and
it looks great, too. Prior to purchasing it there was some body work done and I picked up where the previous owner left off. I had a paint and body company do the work for me and they replaced one striker plate on drivers side and fixed several dents. This Bronco has minimal bondo for a 43 year old truck. There was a crude weld job done on the hard top on front drip edge. It can be seen in one of the pictures. There are a few spots under the truck that have surface rust, but are not structural. Some of the undercoating applied many years ago is chipping off. A few dings and minor dents still exist, but over all looks beautiful. The truck is solid. I wanted to keep the truck as original as possible and painted it Color Code K which I believe is the original color. Someone told me the name is Carmelized Bronze. I also painted the rear wheel rack which is missing one of the hinges. Rhino guard was applied to the floor which is solid with no rust. The hard top inside and out, bumpers, and door panels were all painted and clear-coated when the truck was re-painted. There are a few rubber gaskets missing and the backseat does not have its armrest pads which are inexpensive to purchase. Anything needed for this truck can easily and affordably be purchased through one of the many Bronco catalogs. The
following have been replaced in the past 18 months:
This
is a very dependable, strong running truck. It will not disappoint and is fairly priced. Super fun to drive! Has to go to
make room for a new project. This is being sold "as is". A deposit of $1,000 is due within 24 hours of auction end and remaining balance due within five working days from end of auction. Buyer responsible for shipping and truck needs to be picked up with 10 days of end of auction. Thanks for looking! You can view my Bronco on youtube at: |

Geneva Motor Show highlights from Zach
Ford partnering with MIT, Stanford on autonomous vehicle research
Fri, 24 Jan 2014Ask any car engineer what's the biggest variable in achieving fuel economy targets, and he'll tell you "the driver." If one human can't understand human driving behavior enough to be certain about an innocuous number like miles per gallon, how is an autonomous car supposed to figure out what hundreds of other drivers are going to do in the course of a day? Ford has enlisted the help of Stanford and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to find out.
Starting with the automated Fusion Hybrid introduced in December, MIT will be developing algorithms that driverless cars can use to "predict actions of other vehicles and pedestrians" and objects within the three-dimensional map provided by its four LIDAR sensors.
The Stanford team will research how to extend the 'vision' of that LIDAR array beyond obstructions while driving, analogous to the way a driver uses the entire width of a lane to see what's ahead of a larger vehicle in front. Ford says it wants to "provide the vehicle with common sense" as part of its Blueprint for Mobility, preparing for an autonomous world from 2025 and beyond.
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.
