“GOOD ENOUGH” WAS NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR THIS BRONCO! This 1977 Ford Bronco has been completely restored from the frame up, and boasts a 302 V-8 high output motor. There are 1,390 miles on this truck since its restoration in 2011. This truck has been in two TRUCK SHOWS, winning in: Best TRUCK category and BEST PAINT. It has also been featured on the cover of BRONCO MAGAZINE with a 6-page pictorial (Described as a 1976 BRONCO, but VIN# indicates it as a 1977). There are over $65,000 in upgrades included in the three-year restoration. The paint is absolutely flawless and is one of a kind. No expense has been spared with any component down to the nuts and bolts. Literally everything on the truck is new or completely refurbished, upgraded, or customized. This truck is a serious attention getter. Kept in a Climate-Controlled Garage.
 
Exterior: Paint and prep work are of the highest quality available. Lots of Pearl and clear coat on this truck! There is no rust, in fact a good portion of the body is fiberglass saving weight and durability. All rubber and trim was replaced, and a complete racing certified roll cage was mounted to the frame. Five point harnesses for both seats are included as well as lap belts for the backseat. Truck has a top-of-the-line wench with remote control, custom lighting, custom tire rack. Windowsills were rebuilt to include one piece of glass for a cleaner look. Wheels and tires are of the best quality and fit the truck well without being over-sized. There is a 2-inch body lift with a 2-inch suspension lift. This truck handles well and has a low center of gravity. Truck can easily be a daily driver and is stable on the road.
 
Interior: Truck has a customized dashboard – as seen in the photos. All gauges and switches work. Seats are competition grade and are free of scratches and stains. Some of the other upgrades include; top-of-the-line covers that are clean and rip free. Five point harness, custom racing wheel, absolutely outstanding stereo system with (4) six-inch speakers and a 10 inch sub powered by (2) 250 Watt amplifiers. The black carpet is high-grade with perfect installation and is also stain free.
 
Engine: This motor is a 302 V-8 HO. It has excellent power without sacrificing reliability. Some of the options include the following: high-rise intake, four barrel carburetor, ceramic headers, upgraded ignition system, dual batteries with dual charger, aluminum radiator and chrome valve covers. The engine compartment on this truck is completely dirt and oil free.
 
Suspension: Very clean undercarriage and is show ready. All components are painted or coated and look new. Custom differential cover on the front along with completely rebuilt drive train to new specs or better. Custom roll cage is bolted to the frame with no welds present. Dual exhaust keeps the truck sounding good but tucked away nicely. Again nothing is covered up on this truck.

Ford recalls 2020-21 Explorer and Lincoln Aviator, 2021 E-Series

Mon, Dec 21 2020

Ford announced safety recalls for the 2020-2021 Explorer and Lincoln Aviator along with the 2021 E-Series early Monday. The recalls address entirely different issues.  In the case of the 2020-2021 Ford Explorer and Lincoln Aviator, that issue is motor mount hardware. Specifically, the fasteners that secure the passenger-side motor mount may back out. In Ford's words, this can result in a "loss of power," which is the entirely predictable result of an engine parting ways with the vehicle it powers.  As alarming as that may sound, owners should not have to worry about anything extreme, as the passenger side mount is only one of multiple, and Ford says it is not aware of any incidents that have occurred with vehicles in customer hands. Ford says it impacts only about 1400 examples of the Explorer and Aviator in the States (plus two in Mexico and 65 in Canada) that were built at Chicago Assembly Plant between July 28 and 30, 2020. Ford is in the process of alerting its owners to the recall, and those with affected models will have their mount hardware replaced by their local Ford dealerships free of charge.  The 2021 E-Series is being recalled for a potential heat management issue resulting from improperly aligned thermal insulation on the underside of its engine cover. In vehicles where this insulation was not properly installed so that it reaches all the way to the edges of the cover, the resulting heat bleed can cause high in-cabin surface temperatures, and direct contact them could result in burns.  This is the larger of the two recalls, as Ford says it covers nearly 33,000 examples sold in the United States and Canada. Fortunately, as with the above issue, Ford says it has not been made aware of any customer incidents. Ford says the remedy is a set of insulation patches for the exposed areas.  Related Video:

Watch these videos of an NHRA racer's bodywork blowing off into a crowd

Tue, 23 Apr 2013

Just a few months ago, fan safety at racetracks was a hot topic following the last-lap NASCAR Nationwide Series crash at Daytona that sent large pieces of racecars into the grandstands injuring 33 fans. Now, a freak incident at a National Hot Rod Association event resulted in a drag racer's bodywork flying into the crowd at the NHRA Four-Wide Nationals in Charlotte over the weekend. The carbon-fiber body of Robert Hight's Ford Mustang funny car blew off toward the end of a run when his engine exploded, but fortunately, the two fans evaluated after the incident were later released without serious injury.
As you can see in the image above, the body flew high into the air before landing on a walkway in front of the grandstands, a bit of happenstance that likely gave most fans enough time and space to move out of the way. Scroll down to watch a couple of videos showing what happened, including one from a fan's perspective that also reveals what appears to be part of the body's metal bracing landing dangerously close to the crowd.

Ford profits soar as problems mount

Mon, 19 Aug 2013

Ford is doing well. It can't make enough examples of its new Fusion, it can barely make enough of the aging F-150, it's getting good brand rankings, people like its turnaround story, it's selling oodles of product and its quarterly profit numbers end in the word "billion." As other high-flying examples have demonstrated over the past few years, though, big numbers can come with problems that aren't exactly small.
Automotive News has published a good "nutshell" report of Ford's progress and problems. The Dearborn automaker's optimistic "general label rule" determination of gas mileage for the C-Max Hybrid has led to lawsuits, hybrid software updates, a downward revision of C-Max fuel economy and millions in rebates. AN notes the C-Max was the "worst-scoring model in this year's J.D. Power Initial Quality Study," but Ford will probably be happy that it managed not to be mentioned further in the study's results after last year's mediocre showing. Its MyTouch and SYNC systems, the bugbears sabotaging Ford's J.D. Power results, have also led to lawsuits, software updates, more software updates and a center console rethink. On top of that, the 1.6-liter EcoBoost in the 2013 Ford Escape that Ford called a "hero" was soon catching fire for three different reasons. And let's not even get into the troubled launch of the Lincoln MKZ.
The Automotive News piece notes that industry observers have been surprised at Ford's stumbles because everything has been looking so good. Nevertheless, there is still the issue of those billions in profits - the company is doing plenty of things, plural, right. Ford says it is tackling its problems, hiring engineers and instituting new quality control processes as part of its effort to find solutions. The test will be to see if in a year from now we begin the discussion of these issues with "Remember when Ford...", or "Problems continue at The Blue Oval."
