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

Ford Focus ST, Fiesta ST buyers to get free Octane Academy driving school
Thu, 01 Aug 2013The Ford Focus ST and Fiesta ST have created plenty of excitement in the sport compact segment, and Ford is looking to make sure that owners are driving and enjoying their cars to the best of their abilities. As an added bonus for buying one of these sporty hatchbacks, Ford will provide a complimentary ST Octane Academy session to be held at the Miller Motorsports Park in Utah.
Attendees will be responsible for travel and lodging, but Ford will provide the driving school free of charge. Included in this two-day trip, ST owners will get class instruction and driving instruction in prepped Focus ST and Fiesta ST models on the track and autocross course. Some karting action will also be involved as will a tour of Ken Block's Hoonigan Racing headquarters located nearby. If this doesn't sound like enough fun, there is also an optional day of activities that includes some more track time in a Mustang GT and off-road instruction in an F-150 SVT Raptor.
Ford told us that those who have already purchased a Focus ST or Fiesta ST will still be able to attend the performance driving school, but the press release, which is posted below, makes it sound like it applies to original owners only. Ford has yet to announce its schedule for the ST Octane Academy or prices for additional activities or guests.
2020 Ford Explorer, Lincoln Aviator reportedly facing numerous QC issues
Mon, Sep 16 2019A lengthy report in the Detroit Free Press delves into a range of quality control issues confronting the 2020 Ford Explorer and its luxury platform sibling, the 2020 Lincoln Aviator. Freep says it's been following the issue for two months, tapping various unnamed sources for information on the automaker's unorthodox route to resolution. Seems the problem is Explorers and Aviators leaving the production line at the Chicago Assembly Plant with flaws in areas like the chassis, transmission and suspension, said vehicles trucked to Ford's Flat Rock Assembly Plant (FRAP) outside of Detroit for repair. The estimates range from 10,000 to 18,000 vehicles affected, numbers so high that Ford has sought help from Roush Engineering in nearby Allen Park, and brought workers and managers from other plants in the Midwest to FRAP to get vehicles repaired and shipped to dealers. Ford hasn't shared the nature of the problems with anyone outside the company, including dealers and customers. Freep's sources are said to include workers who have provided photos of certain vehicles and of tents used to house parts at the FRAP repair site. The Explorer chassis allegedly has an unidentified problem that engineers are using X-rays to diagnose, and the transmission is having problems sensing when it's in park or going into park. Both the Explorer and Aviator have come off the line with HVAC units that only blow hot air. And the Aviator's height-adjustable suspension enters failure mode for unknown reasons. These come on top of quotidian mishaps common to every new vehicle, but that are meant to be sorted in pre-production, like missing emblems and trim pieces. They also come on top of a recall in early August issued for the Explorer and Aviator concerning the instrument cluster and parking brake, and another at the end of August over rear seatbacks that could collapse in a crash. An automaker spokesperson told Freep, "Making updates to preproduction models based on all-new platforms as they roll off the assembly line – is standard industry practice." Except these aren't pre-production, these are early production vehicles that paying customers and dealers are waiting for, and some of the affected vehicles have been pulled off dealer lots. Dealers say they are fine waiting for the trucks to get sorted out, and they'd rather have Ford fix the problems before the SUVs go to customers.
Hennessey Ford GT sets 267.6-MPH record at Texas Mile [w/videos]
Mon, 25 Mar 2013The record-setting Hennessey-powered camouflage Ford GT we showed you at this time last year headed back to the Texas Mile and managed to bring home yet another record. As you may recollect, last year saw Mark Heidraker's machine sprint to a record 257.7 mph thanks to propulsion from its twin-turbo 5.7-liter V8. The big mill sucks down race gas, and this year the creation pulled off a 267.6-mph run over the weekend. That feat set a new record for the event. Something tells us neither Heidraker nor Hennessey are done squeezing more thrust from this machine.
This particular Ford GT has already gone through a number of permutations. Hennessey started by tweaking the factory supercharger set up before abandoning the blower in favor of two turbos. Since then, the crew has poked and prodded it to coerce as much grunt as possible out of the car. We expect Hennessey will probably come out with a video of the record-setting run shortly, but in the meantime, you can see a couple of videos of the car's runs in Texas below (one of which actually captures the record run). Enjoy.
