1986 Ford Bronco Ii Xlt Sport Utility 2-door 2.9l 4x4 Manual Shift on 2040-cars
Anniston, Alabama, United States
It looks incredible from a distance. But it's not. Look at the photos over and over again to see the rust I have photographed and the dents and dings. It has been painted probably more than once in its past before I got it.
It runs and shifts as it should, no leaks I am aware of, and the inside is bright and nice looking. The drivers seat has a couple of small holes in the rights side. You can see them in the photo. The tires are like new, the engine was rebuilt within the past year. It cranks easily, shifts smoothly in and out of four wheel drive. The back gate rattles on bumps. Somewhere it is leaking. Has moisture in the drivers flood after heavy rain. It has silicon around the top of the side windows as well as the windshield. I have not searched out the leak. It does not appear to have any leaks but I am not a mechanic. It runs smoothly down the interstate at 70. I have not been faster than that. When it is first cranked, the speedometer goes nuts up and down then eventually settles. If you are famliar with driving/restoring older vehicles, you have seen this before. It does not interfere with anything. Mileage was a tad over 153K when photos were taken and it will be more when the listing is over. I drive it daily The grand question is why am I selling it. I bought it for someone else and they would prefer something newer. I am open to offers. The Bronco is in Anniston Alabama not far off I20. I can meet you there to either test drive or buy. I cannot deliver anywhere. The photos are pretty clear. Like I said it cranks and runs fine. I drive it often with no issues. THe air system is comlete and the light comes on when you turn it on but it does not start. Needs charging. I am not a mechanic. The heater is like an oven. Nice and warm. This beauty is 28 years old. Don't forget that. If I have forgotten to address anything or mispelled any words, feel free to let me know. Please do not bid unless you are convinced you want it. I am ok with you getting here and finding things I may not have noticed, but I tried to cover everything. This is cash on pickup only. If you get here and do not like, no big deal. I do and am ok with keeping it. No hard feelings. |

2015 F-150 launch to curb Ford profits?
Thu, 30 Jan 2014Ford is making a big bet on aluminum with its new 2015 F-150, and it's possible that the decision will hurt the company financially, at least in the short term. After earning a record $8.6 billion in 2013, the Blue Oval does not expect to set another record in 2014. According to Automotive News, that's "largely attributable to F Series," says Bob Shanks, Ford's Chief Financial Officer.
To retool for the new F-150, Ford will idle its Dearborn Truck Plant in Michigan for 11 weeks and the Ford Kansas City Assembly Plant in Missouri for 2 weeks. "3 of the 13 overall weeks occur during what normally is our summer shutdown timeframe," said Mike Levine, Ford Trucks Communication Manager, in an email to Autoblog. The extra 10 weeks will be preparing for the more aluminum-intensive construction for the trucks and will mean over 2 months of no F-150s being made. For comparison's sake, Chrysler boss Sergio Marchionne just confirmed that the 200 plant in Sterling Heights, MI will be down for 30 days to retool for the new model, but obviously there are many more F-150 production variables than for the midsize sedan.
Levine notes that Ford is already running three shifts at both plants, and says the automaker has plans to ensure that there is adequate supply of the full-size pickups during the retooling process. The company does not want to suffer a shortage of the vehicle that accounted for 31-percent of its 2013 US sales and an even bigger percentage of its profits.
Three automotive tech trends to watch in 2018 and beyond
Thu, Dec 28 2017Every year, technology plays a bigger and bigger role in the auto industry. To put things in perspective, 10 years ago iPod integration and Bluetooth were cutting-edge in-car innovations, and smartphones and apps weren't yet a thing since the first iPhone was only about six months old. And I can't recall anyone talking about autonomous cars. Compare that to today, with mainstream coverage of the auto industry dominated by autonomous technology, along with electrification and almost every move made by Tesla. These three topics were the most significant trends of car tech in 2017 and I believe they will continue to shape the auto industry in 2018 and beyond. Let's examine them. Full Autonomy Gets Closer to Reality While there were many developments this year that indicate we're inching closer to fully autonomous vehicles, I was behind the wheel for hours to witness one of them. In October I had the chance to test Cadillac Super Cruise on a 700-mile, 11-hour drive from Dallas to Santa Fe – and had my hands on the wheel for maybe 45 minutes max throughout the entire trip. Super Cruise is far from making the Cadillac CT6 or any GM vehicle fully autonomous, and has limitations such as functioning only on pre-mapped main highways. While it simply adds a layer of lane centering to adaptive cruise control, the technology will go a long way in making mainstream drivers more comfortable with letting machines take over. On a separate front, GM is pushing ahead with fully autonomous vehicles and announced last month that it plans to launch of fleets of self-driving robo-taxis in several urban areas in 2019. While most automakers are also in the race to make autonomous cars a reality, GM's turbocharging of its efforts appeared to be in response to Waymo, which announced just weeks earlier that its Early Rider Program in the Phoenix area would go completely driverless. The Early Rider Program launched last April, offering the public a chance to ride in Waymo's autonomous Chrysler Pacifica minivans. In this new phase of testing, Waymo is using its own employees as guinea pigs instead of the public while the vehicles operate without a human behind the wheel, and takes another giant step forward for fully autonomous driving.
Ford nets $5.7B in 2012, $1.6B in fourth quarter
Tue, 29 Jan 2013Ford brought in $5.7 billion in net income during 2012, which is around $307 million less than one year prior. Even so, the automaker closed out 2012 with the highest pre-tax profit for a single quarter in nearly 10 years, earning $1.7 billion in the fourth quarter thanks largely to a higher-than-average truck mix in the US. That's a jump of $577 million over 2011. Likewise, that translated into fourth quarter income of $1.6 billion. All told, Ford set a full-year pre-tax profit record in 2012. But that doesn't necessarily mean everything is rosy in the land of the Blue Oval.
Like every other manufacturer, 2012 saw Ford get hammered in the European Union, where a deep economic recession continues to drive down consumer confidence. The automaker lost more than $700 million in Europe, and saw full revenue of $26.6 billion in 2012. That's a decline of $7.2 billion compared to last yea. Ford says the market for new vehicles in Europe has contracted to 13.5 million units, the lowest number in 17 years. You can read the full press release below for more information.
