1969 Bronco Sport, 351w, 3 Speed Column Shift, Great Project Bronco! on 2040-cars
East Berlin, Pennsylvania, United States
|
Up for auction is my 1969 Bronco Sport. Firstly the pictures are 4 years old....the Bronco is buried in the back of my garage where it has sat for the past 4 years. I will add more pics when I get it out! My plan was to restore it but I never got around to it. Have too many other projects going on and decided to let it go. It has a 351W engine, 3 speed column shift, 4WD, and standard brakes and steering. The roof is NOT a factory half cab. It is a standard wagon roof that was cut down by the previous owner and it was done very nicely. From the outside the only way you can tell is that it has a hatchback instead of the regular rear window. The divider behind the seats was fabricated by the same guy who did the roof. It needs a full restoration but is a VERY good candidate for one! It is VERY straight but rusty. I did find a rust hole in the frame near the LR shock mount but repairing it shouldn't be a problem, it didn't go to either flange. It has the typical Bronco rust in the floors and you can see the rocker panels. There is no exhaust, just short down pipes on the exhaust manifolds. Fenders and hood are very good other than some rust through in the leading edge of the hood on the right hand side. The rear door posts where the door strikers are need replaced. Front posts seem pretty solid and the doors close pretty good. Dash pad is no good and glove box door is bent. The brakes are not working at all. When I bought it the LR emergency brake cable was frozen and I had to cut it to get the brake to release. It could be pulled on a tow dolly but you would have to bring tires for it, I would not recommend pulling it on the tires that are on it. I will help load it. I did have the engine running when I bought it but the carb was leaking gas. I did drive it around a little and the 4WD worked and the transmission worked in all gears. The electrical system seemed good, most of the lights worked and I suspect the ones that didn't had corrosion issues with the bulbs. It had sat for 7 years when I bought it. I have the PA title in my name. Buyer would be responsible for transfer fees and there is a notary about 15 minutes from me. I accept Paypal or cash when picked up. I will help load it. It is also for sale locally at the buy it now price so the auction may end at any time. If you have any questions feel free to contact me! Thanks for looking! I have removed it from the garage and added more pictures. The front floors have been repaired and do not look bad, they are solid. There is rust through behind the seat in the floor. I included a picture of the rusted out part of the frame. It is on the bottom between the axle and rear spring hanger. Still repairable in my opinion, it is a box frame and could easily be pieced in and reinforced. The floor in the rear isn't bad, just a few spots around the edges. ****Edit-7/18/14**** I just want to clarify about the hole in the frame. It is clearly visible in the last picture. In this picture you are looking at the LR corner of the Bronco from underneath looking back. The hole is beside the spring hanger on the bottom of the frame. |

Meet the Greenest and Meanest vehicles of 2016
Wed, Jan 27 2016If you've been keeping track, you won't be surprised with the number one entry in this year's list of greenest cars from the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE). In fact, the top three spots on the 2016 list are all the same as they were in 2015. After that, things get interesting. For one thing, this is the first Greenest list that doesn't have any purely internal combustion engine powertrain on it. Hybrids, yes, but if you want to be one of the top 12 greenest cars this year, you'd better have some sort of electric angle. ACEEE says that the conventional, gas-powered Smart Fortwo and Chevrolet Spark just missed the cut. In a statement, ACEEE lead vehicle analyst Shruti Vaidyanathan said, "The 2016 scores are in, and plug-in electric vehicles are outpacing all other vehicle offerings in terms of environmental friendliness." Like last year, one of the noticeable vehicles missing from the green list is the Tesla Model S. One reason? ACEEE takes curb weight into account (lighter is better), and the Model S is a heavy beast. The ACEEE doesn't just look at the clean side of the ledger. It also puts out a "meanest" list. These are the vehicles that pollute the most, not only from their tailpipes, but also any pollution created during the entire manufacturing process, from mining the raw materials to the energy used to produce the vehicle at the factory. The entire list, from greenest to meanest, is done using a "cradle to grave" analysis. You can see how the ACEEE determines its rankings here, explore the entire greenest cars site here, or click through our galleries to see which vehicles are extra green (above) or extra mean (below) this year. 12: Mercedes-Benz GL550 4MATIC View 12 Photos More Electric Cars than Ever on Greenest Vehicles List Electric Vehicles Nab 9 out of Top 12 Spots in ACEEE's Environmental Vehicle Rankings Washington, DC: Despite a tumultuous year for the automotive industry, manufacturers have continued to offer exciting technology options for a growing vehicle market. Today at greenercars.org, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) released its 19th annual comprehensive environmental ratings for vehicles. The following vehicles comprise the Greenest List for 2016: Greenest Score 1. Mercedes-Benz Smart ForTwo Electric Drive Convertible / Coupe 63 2. Chevrolet Spark EV 63 3. Fiat 500E 62 4.

Ford confirms 1.5-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine for 2014 Fusion
Thu, 11 Apr 2013Earlier this week, reports were swirling 'round the internet about the 2014 Ford Fusion getting a new 1.5-liter three-cylinder EcoBoost engine. That was... half correct. Ford today confirmed that the 2014 Fusion is, in fact, getting a new 1.5-liter EcoBoost mill, but it has four cylinders, not three.
The new 1.5-liter engine will be the fifth EcoBoost powerplant from Ford Motor Company. Initially to be built at the automaker's Craiova, Romania plant, it will also be offered in the Fusion's twin, the Mondeo, in other markets. This engine will debut at the Shanghai Motor Show next month, and the 1.5-liter is of particular importance in the Chinese market - there is significant tax relief in the People's Republic for vehicles powered by engines with a capacity of 1.5 liters or less.
At a media briefing Thursday, Ford declined to divulge exact power or fuel economy numbers, though Joe Bakaj, vice president of powertrain engineering, told Autoblog that power output should be similar to that of the current 1.6-liter inline-four, and that overall efficiency will be "better than the 1.6." Our earlier report stated that the 1.5-liter four will produce 177 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque - losses of 1 hp and 7 lb-ft versus the 1.6-liter engine. Ford states that the 1.5-liter four will feature many of the same technologies used on the company's 1.0-liter EcoBoost inline-three, including an integrated exhaust manifold that recaptures much of the engine's heat.
Ford will probably never offer two RS models at the same time
Mon, 18 Mar 2013Autocar has some sour news for fans of go-fast Ford products. According to Roelant de Waard, Ford's president of marketing in Europe, the automaker will probably never offer more than one RS performance model for sale at the same time. That statement runs contrary earlier rumblings that suggested Ford would launch its next-generation Focus RS in 2015 and follow the hatch with a spate of other vehicles with an RS badge. But de Waard has made it clear that Ford of Europe is now focused on squarely on the next Mustang, even though there may be more RS models on the way eventually.
"What is clear is that the RS shouldn't be a series, or a car badge that we have in our portfolio all the time. It is an extreme car - something more than ST," he said.
That philosophy makes plenty of sense. We loved the old Focus RS - shown above in RS500 trim - because it was generally bonkers and plenty exclusive. Diluting either aspect is sure to end in disappointment for everyone involved.
