I have an incredible truck at an incredible price ! So often too good to be true is just that, but in this case it is true. I have up for auction one of the 23,776 original first year broncos ever made. And, its one of the few left that didn't get the rear flares cut to make way for oversized tires. This timeless classic is the one that really helped start the off road and suv craze. It has been well owned and well maintained for years. It is a great riding and driving truck with its original 3.3 ltr 200 cu in straight 6 engine and three on the tree manual transmission. It absolutely cranks, drives, and shifts as it should with no hick ups at all. It was professionally and expertly painted three years ago with an enamel paint that looks virtually new. The interior is all there and all the gauges work as well as the blinkers, horn, lights, heat, fan and everything else. The only flaw there is the windshield wipers are out of sinc. I'm told I need a relay to be installed but have not followed up, I have the drivers side working and I never take it out in the rain so I had no interest in making the repair. The interior is as close to perfect as you can get, and the color combo looks great. The top is in great shape and the paint looks like glass. The only thing that's not stock are the bumpers that were made for this truck and fit and look better than the stock bumper, it also has a working 10,000 lb wench installed that has never been used to the best of my knowledge. Underneath the truck looks as good as the inside and outside of it does. I have been underneath and I will try to get it to a rack and update some photos later. I am going to sell it, and I am going to market it locally so I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. The truck is sold as is and I recommend anything you buy off of the computer you either inspect personally or send someone to do it as I have bought 4 cars on EBAY alone and 2 were as advertised and 2 were misrepresented to say the least. If you have any questions or would like to arrange an inspection or showing please text, or call me, my name is Robert and I can be reached at (256)508-4722. I have sold 6 cars on ebay and had 100% satisfaction with my listings and sold all my cars reasonably so bid with confidence and good luck !
Ford’s first-generation off-roader has gone from cult classic to mainstream collector
If you haven’t noticed lately, vintage 4x4s are heating up the
collector market and the first-generation Ford Bronco is leading the way.
Conceived as a competitor for elemental off-roaders such as Jeep and
International-Harvester’s Scout, the Bronco’s dimensions were somewhat in
between them. Its 92-inch wheelbase and 151.5-inch overall length were
considerably longer than the Jeep CJ-5’s 83-inch wheelbase and 139-inch length,
but shy of the Scout’s 100-inch wheelbase and 155-inch length.Much like the groundbreaking Mustang, the original 1966 Bronco
(introduced in August 1965) represented a brave new world for the Blue Oval, as
Ford had never developed a dedicated 4x4 sport-utility vehicle. The frame,
chassis and body would be created from scratch, although engineers logically
adapted the front and rear axles from the company’s four-wheel-drive F-Series
pickups and used them with a Bronco-specific Dana 20 transfer case.Its 105-hp, 170-cubic-inch straight-six engine was a
“pick-up,” too – from the Falcon, although the carburetor was fitted with a
unique float to prevent fuel starvation on steep, off-road grades. The fuel pump
was heavy-duty, too, for the same reason. A 289 V-8 would join the lineup later
in the ’66 model year and would be supplanted by the 302 engine in 1969.
A three-speed, column-shifted manual transmission was the only
gearbox offered at first and an automatic transmission wouldn’t arrive on the
option list until 1973. All models through all of the first-gen production years
used a Ford 9-inch rear axle. A Dana 30 front axle was used through early 1971
and was replaced by the stronger Dana 44.The transfer case drove the front and rear
axles through constant-velocity, double-cardan universal joints. The design
enabled a higher mounting position and greater ground clearance. A coil-spring
front suspension and leaf-spring rear suspension were used. The front
“mono-beam” axle was located by a pair of forged radius rods and a track bar.
Out back forward-angled shocks were used on early models and replaced by
rear-canted shocks. The short wheelbase and unique chassis/suspension features
contributed to a super-short turning radius of less than 35 feet.Three body styles were offered initially: the boxy wagon, a
pickup-style half-cab and a Jeep-like Roadster. The
roadster was the lowest-price models, with a base price of only $2,404 in 1966,
but wasn’t popular and was axed from the lineup after 1968. All models were
designed for work and the roster of factory options included items such as
free-wheeling hubs, a limited-slip differential, heavy-duty cooling package and
more, while dealers touted available post-hole diggers, power booms and power
sprayers. The Bronco could even be upfitted as a small fire truck or tow
truck.With sales of 23,776 in its first year, the Bronco was off to
a promising start. But with its Spartan interior – no carpeting, sound-deadening
material or even a standard heater – it was definitely an SUV that emphasized
utility over sport![]() .

Our spy photographers just caught this Ford F-150 driving around Dearborn, wearing camouflage around the bed – not so unusual near Ford's headquarters. What's interesting with this particular mule is that it might be packing a Jaguar-Land Rover turbodiesel V6. As with the Super Duty, the F-150 prototype pictured here sports a Venturi exhaust tip popping out the side of the rear bumper behind the wheel, which – along with the sound reported by our shutterbug – suggests that it's burning oil up front. That could mean Ford has found another application for the 3.2-liter, five-cylinder Power Stroke diesel that it just federalized for the Transit van. However our sources suggest what the mule is actually powered by the 3.0-liter Lion V6 diesel that Jaguar Land Rover – once subsidiaries in Ford's Premier Automotive Group – is bringing over for the Td6 models of the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport. The engine produces a respectable 254 horsepower and a healthy 443 pound-feet of torque, and is tipped to be mated to the same ten-speed automatic transmission as the new Raptor. That could give the F-150 the kind of fuel economy and muscle it would need to challenge the likes of the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel and the heavier-duty Nissan Titan with the Cummins engine. With gas prices as low as they are, however, and sales of diesel-powered vehicles lagging, Ford could just be trying to keep up with the competition by offering a light-duty diesel pickup. With its lightweight aluminum body, the diesel F-150 could even surpass the Duramax diesel-powered Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon for frugality at the pumps, according to Mark Williams of PickupTrucks.com. He told Autoblog that, "it makes perfect sense for Ford to do a diesel. It seems like everyone is pushing them to do a Ranger, but if they can get the F-150 to push 30 mpg it can challenge the Ram Ecodiesel and even the Colorado Duramax." Reached for comment, Ford spokesman Mike Levine sent us the following statement: "We do not speculate about future products. While diesel is a solution, it is not the solution. EcoBoost offers the ideal combination of performance and fuel economy that over 60 percent of F-150 customers are choosing."

General Motors isn't the only Detroit automaker posting falling profits in the first quarter. Ford just released its Q1 2014 financial data, and it reported a net income of $989 million, down $622 million from Q1 2013. The drop is partially blamed on higher warranty and recall expenses than the company had anticipated.
Financially, Ford suffered a rough quarter almost across the board. Its pre-tax profit of $1.4 billion was also down $765 million from a year ago. Things were even worse in the North American market where operating profit fell significantly to $1.5 billion, down from $2.392 billion in Q1 2013. However, its global revenue ticked up slightly to $35.9 billion, from $35.6 billion in this period in 2013.
Ford admitted that it spent about $900 million on expenses that it hadn't planned for during this quarter. According to Reuters, the company paid about $400 million in additional warranty and recall costs in North America. The automaker didn't explain why the costs were so much higher than expected. However, in the last three months, Ford has had several recalls, including on the 2001-2004 Escape for rust, Explorer for its steering, Edge for its fuel line and others.

As patient zero of Blood Shed Motors, the classic pony car has received a powerful electric transplant. Lightning repeatedly vanquished the darkness like the angriest of strobe lights and thunder shook the building, punctuating the clatter of a heavy Texas rain on the metal roof as the clock ticked away the initial seconds of a rare full moon Friday the 13th. It was then that the Black Zombie came to life for the first time. Beneath the hood of this rust-free 1968 Mustang fastback, a 289-cubic-inch V8 no longer turns gasoline into heat, noise and pollution. As patient zero of Blood Shed Motors, the classic pony car has received a powerful electric transplant, and now boasts twinned Warp 11 DC motors and a pair of fresh Zilla controllers that will serve as the basic blueprint for future vehicles. Dubbed the Zombie 222 drivetrain, the setup will be limited to 750 horsepower in customer's cars to keep the maintenance experience low, and eventually will draw power from a 40-kWh battery pack. In this first example, though, the output is bit more extreme. For one day, at least, they have the 1,500-kW-capable pack that powers the record-setting Swamp Rat 37 racer belonging to Don Garlits and a brief window of opportunity to try it out on a track. Blood Shed Motors is the result of a collaboration between NEDRA co-founder John "Plasma Boy" Wayland, the man who helped bring electric vehicle drag racing to the attention of the world with his unassuming White Zombie Datsun 1200 conversion and Austin, TX business man Mitch Medford, who've put together a small team of experts in their chosen fields. The plan is to build a limited number of muscle car conversions on pristine early Mustang, Camaro, and Barracuda platforms. The plan is to build a limited number of high-quality muscle car conversions on pristine (No restored rust buckets!) early Mustang, Camaro, and Barracuda platforms. Each can be customized according to buyer's wishes and blessed with its own serial number. The price tags will be in the eye-watering $200,000-and-up neighborhood, reflective of the cost and rarity of these cars and the custom nature of the alterations. Of course, you can't just multiply horsepower and add the monster torque that these electric motors put out and expect an antique chassis to hold up.
