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. |

2014 Ford Transit Connect Taxi hopes to fare thee well
Mon, 23 Sep 2013New York City may have selected its taxi of tomorrow, but there are still plenty of municipalities across the US with citizens that depend on yellow livery cars to get them across town in a jiffy. That's why Ford is going ahead with this, the new Transit Connect Taxi.
Based on the 2014 Transit Connect, the TC Taxi boasts a number of features designed to make the compact van appeal to discerning taxi drivers and their fares, with the most notable upgrade being a standardized prep package to convert the 2.5-liter four to run on liquefied petroleum or compressed natural gas. The clean-burning fuel options will allow operators to save on fuel costs and cut down on pollution without sacrificing performance.
A lower load floor and a new twist-beam rear suspension are meant to improve the riding experience for passengers, while the longer 2014 Transit Connect sports extra cargo space as well. In addition to the CNG/LPG conversion, the Transit Connect Taxi can also be easily modified for wheelchair access. Drivers, meanwhile, will have access to optional goodies like Sync with MyFord Touch and a rear-view camera.
Toyota again claims Corolla outsold Focus worldwide
Wed, 10 Apr 2013Toyota isn't convinced the Ford Focus was the best-selling nameplate globally last year. Bloomberg reports that for the second time in seven months, both Toyota and Ford are laying claim to the title. Ford cites R.L. Polk & Co. data that says the automaker moved some 1.02 million Focus models in 2012 compared to just 872,774 Toyota Corolla units. But Toyota says the actual figure is closer to 1.16 million Corolla models.
Last year, Ford said it took the sales crown through the fist half of 2012 based on information from IHS Automotive, but Toyota pointed out those numbers left out models like the Corolla-based Matrix and Auris, as well as the Corolla Fielder and Scion xB-based Corolla Rumion. Whether or not Toyota's belief that all these cars should be counted in the Corolla bucket is accurate or not is seemingly up for debate... as is the question of why it matters so much to both parties.
This time around, Ford is holding the line that the Focus is the "best-selling nameplate," with Erich Merkle, a US sales analyst with Ford saying the company's figure is, "a pure number that is verified by a third party." Toyota, meanwhile, has requested clarification from Polk.
Autocar pits Formula Ford against Germany's finest
Wed, 25 Sep 2013Ford has quite the racing pedigree, but usually, its racers are relegated to the track. Not the new Formula Ford EcoBoost, though. It's a turbocharged, open-wheeled racer complete with a 200-horsepower, 1.0-liter, three-cylinder engine... and it's legal on the roads of the UK.
That's stressed in this video from Autocar, with the mag going so far as to show the car's tax disc and license plates. Being a road-legal offering, it's tempting to see just how well an open-wheeler that delivers racecar-like performance while also netting over 100 miles per gallon (assume this is on the British cycle, for obvious reasons) stacks up against modern performance cars.
Autocar lined up the Formula Ford against an Audi R8 V10, a BMW M6 Gran Coupe and a Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG in a number of situations to see which would come out on top. Take a look below for the full video.
