If you are in the market for a one of a kind custom Bronco that's a true head-turner look no further. This "68" half cab is one of the most fun rides I've owned; a perfect blend of classic nostalgia and modern styling. Black and beautiful the Bronco rides, drives, handles, and looks better than it did the day it rolled off the showroom floor. Powered by a Cropper Racing 383 chevy small block (Chevrolet engine; my power-plant of choice); performs flawless and sounds incredible through the Flowmaster super 44 mufflers. Engine dyno results were 468 hp 502tq @ 5500rpm and is built with Eagle rotating assembly topped off with Brodix aluminum heads and MSD ignition. Transmission and transfer case are Ford (bulldog) 4 speed and stock Bronco transfer case. The body started solid and was transformed into the lazer straight black panels you see pictured with billet accents and all new hardware and Smitty Built bumpers. The interior floor has been Rhino-Lined and fitted with new custom off-road seats; dash has been smoothed and fitted with billet insert and Autometer gauges, Ididit column and Lecarra thick grip wheel, a Tuffy console houses a Pioneer stereo and JL marine speakers. Complete wiring harness has been replaced with Cenco wiring kit; high performance lighting and LED tail lamps. Lifted with Wildhorses premium 5-1/2" lift kit (adjustable track bar) and disc/power brake conversion; Fuel 18" wheels wrapped in 35" Mickey Thompson MTZ's complete the madness! I really can't list in detail everything that has been done to this thing; it's pretty incredible. I have thousands of dollars in receipts and countless hours involved with the build; you honestly can't build it for what you can buy it for! Please message with questions; I'll be glad to provide a number for serious inquiries to reach me and discuss details. A few additional details: This is a first come first serve kind of business: As always: The Bronco is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at anytime due to local sale. Since this was built with no plans of ever seeing bad weather the heater and wiper motors have been deleted, but are included and can be installed; all required wiring is there to install. All gauges work, but the fuel gauge and speedometer are not calibrated. Buyer responsible for all shipping charges and arrangements; I will assist in anyway possible with the pick-up and preparation. Payment must be received within 7 days of auction end (I do not accept Paypal for large transactions such as this; cashiers check, money wire, or cash are the only methods of payment; payment must clear prior to vehicle shipment. ***If you haven't asked your wife yet; please do so before bidding!*** THANK YOU

Toyota, Ford decide to end hybrid collaboration before it starts
Tue, 23 Jul 2013Not all so-called Memorandum of Understanding pacts end in actual collaborations. For instance, after a two-year "feasibility study," Toyota and Ford have just announced that they will not be developing hybrid systems for use in light trucks and SUVs as previously planned, and the two automakers will instead continue to develop their own hybrid technology independently.
The would-be collaboration was first announced in August of 2011, and would have seen a rear-wheel-drive hybrid platform that would "improve the efficiency of trucks and SUVs while still allowing them to be driven in the way customers expect," according to our initial post on the topic.
Keep in mind that this announcement isn't to say we shouldn't expect hybrid pickups and SUVs from the two automakers, but that they probably aren't coming very soon - Ford says it will have a system "before the end of this decade" and we haven't heard much from Toyota on the hybrid truck front since the 2008 A-BAT Concept (pictured above) - and that they will not share any components between them (and they never have, for what it's worth).
Thanks for keeping us on our toes, Detroit Auto Show [w/poll]
Wed, Jan 14 2015Here at Autoblog, we love unexpected debuts at auto shows – and judging by our Detroit Auto Show comments and traffic, you do, too. Surprise reveals have been fewer and farther between in recent years with so many ways for vehicles to be teased or leak out, but this week's show has been a revelation. More to the point, it's been a series of revelations, with automakers from around the globe successfully delivering a brace of concept and production surprises. It's made our jobs a lot more exciting and challenging this week, and even though it's actually more work to react and run-and-gun when the sheet is pulled on a surprise reveal than it is to publish an already-written embargoed story, we've had more fun covering this show for you than any domestic show in memory. We hope you've enjoyed the surprises along with us. To that end, borrowing the words of an unnamed automaker PR flack, we'd like to thank the following automakers for enduring "mountain of antacids" and that "creeping sense of paranoia" necessary to keeping ones' wares totally under wraps until the sheets are pulled off the sheetmetal: Buick Avenir concept Chevrolet Bolt concept Ford GT concept Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R Ford F-150 SVT Raptor Hyundai HCD-15 Santa Cruz concept And while we're at it, we'd like to throw in an shout-out to Detroit's substantially revised and revitalized Cobo Center, and in particular, the redone Michelin media center, which is arguably the single best accommodations for writing show stories that we've encountered on the entire international circuit. Well done, everyone. Thank you, and keep the surprises coming. Auto News Detroit Auto Show Buick Chevrolet Ford Hyundai Volvo 2015 Detroit Auto Show
2015 Ford Mustang Convertible makes inappropriate appearance in Detroit [w/video]
Tue, 14 Jan 2014With the polar vortex fresh in the minds of Autoblog's Detroit-based staff, we're finding it funny that any manufacturer would choose January in the Motor City to show off a new and highly anticipated convertible to the general media and public for the first time. But Ford has done just that, giving us our first real peek at the new Mustang Convertible in the flesh.
The new Mustang Convertible is more or less unchanged from the standard coupe, with some subtle styling tweaks to accommodate the retractable soft top. Engine and transmission choices are identical to the hardtop, although we should expect slightly lower performance due to the hardware for the roof. Like the coupe, neither prices nor performance metrics have been published yet for the convertible.
