1969 Ford Bronco Half Cab
5500 miles on a total off frame restoration. Every nut and bolt was restored or replaced. A new wiring harness was
installed. The entire frame was blasted and painted. The tub was stripped, primed and rhino-lined. No rust on this
46 year old beauty. Everything works as it supposed to.
Powered by a rebuilt 302 V8 with an Edelbrock 650 CFM 4 barrel carburetor, Edelbrock intake manifold and Hooker
headers this Bronco has plenty of get up and go. The exhaust is a custom dual with magnaflow mufflers and it sounds
great...not too loud, but she has deep throaty growl when you get on her. An electric fan and wild horses aluminum
racing radiator, along with stainless air dam and fender well vents keep this Bronco running cool. Vintage Air A/C
was added for comfortable summer driving.
The 302 V8 delivers power to a rebuilt C4 automatic transmission mission with the period correct column shift.
Power assisted drum brakes on all 4 wheels provide stopping power, just as it did when she rolled off the assembly
line in 1969. 70,000 mile, Michelin LTX, 31 x 10.5 tires are mounted on 15" US Indy aluminum alloy slotted mag
rims, reminiscent of the Strope Broncos that raced the Baja in the early '70's. Those LTX radials are super quiet
and ride very smooth around town and on the highway.
The interior sports billet aluminum trim around the dash and pedals, custom billet aluminum door panels and has a
fully carpeted interior with sound deadening heat shield. A Tuffy, lockable steel center console with padded
leather armrest, drink holders and an Alpine car stereo with CD and Sirius-XM radio add some creature comfort. The
half cab roof is also fully headlined with temperature insulating and sound deadening headliner. The Procar Elite
leather seats provide luxurious all day comfort with lumbar support and bolsters. Three point seat belts are also
installed. The steering wheel a is custom one of kind creation from con2r truck restorations.
She runs great, handles very well, tracks straight under braking and is very comfortable to drive. Step bumpers
make it easy to get in and out and the roll bar looks great and adds a measure of safety. Show it, garage and cover
it and sit on your investment or drive it daily, whatever you choose this Bronco is ready.

2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost Review
Thu, Feb 26 2015"It's just a V6 Mustang." That phrase, so often spoken with derision and disdain, has haunted owners of Ford's more affordable and economical pony car since roughly April of 1964. Even after Dearborn finally paid some attention to its entry-level muscle car by eliminating telltale V6 features – the company fit dual exhausts in place of the single-exit pipe in 2011, negating the budget offering's biggest visual giveaway – the car was still hard pressed to shake its reputation as a hairdresser's car and rental fleet queen. For the Mustang's 50th year in service, Ford went back to the drawing board, we think with the distinct goal of eliminating the stigma of the non-V8 Mustang. While the V6 is still being offered (your local Avis and Enterprise lots wouldn't be the same without them), it's best to think of the new, four-cylinder, turbocharged Mustang EcoBoost as the entry-level model. But will the addition of forced induction – from an engine that will see action in the upcoming, enthusiast-centric Focus RS, no less – be enough to appease those pony car fans that believe that only Mustangs with eight cylinders are worthy of the galloping stallion badge? After a week at the helm, we certainly think it is. The new Mustang's looks have been covered ad nauseam. Chances are good that you either love the fastback styling, or you think the original pony car now looks a lot like a Fusion Coupe. We'll ignore the bigger styling remarks for the 2015 Mustang, and instead, focus on what's done right with the EcoBoost model. Like the V6 before it, certain boxes are correctly ticked. Dual exhausts? Check. 18-inch alloys? Check. (Our EcoBoost Premium model even shares its wheels with the base GT). HID headlamps? Check. Up front, there's a surprisingly meaty chin spoiler while the muscular lines of the 'Stang's long hood tie in nicely with the fastback shape, which terminates in a neat rear spoiler. There's even a body-colored diffuser at the back, between the chromed exhaust tips. The bottom line is, unless you're a true Mustang aficionado, you'll be hard pressed to tell the difference between the turbocharged car and its 435-horsepower brother. Simply sitting in the redesigned cabin isn't enough to give the EcoBoost away, either. The leather-trimmed seats (standard on the Premium trim) are cozy and supportive, with plenty of bolstering to help keep both driver and passenger in place while the 'Stang exhibits its newly enhanced cornering abilities.
NHTSA closes book on Ford, GM probes of 600,000 vehicles
Thu, Nov 27 2014US safety regulators have closed a pair of investigations into some 500,000 Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis and Marauder sedans built between 2004 to 2007, and 100,000 Chevrolet Impala models from 2014. The Ford investigation focused on rusting heat shields, which may become dislodged and jam the steering, according to Reuters. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that this happened very rarely. In fact, of the ten incidents filed with the government safety watchdog, six came from a single police department, which evidently had some sort of problem with its reporting. As for the Impala, the NHTSA investigators attributed two incidences of "unintended autonomous braking" to user error. In both cases, the vehicles were involved in rear-end collisions. According to GM investigators, it's believed that drivers accidentally activated the electric parking brake, causing the collisions. The vehicles in question were rental cars.

Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner
Sat, 24 Aug 2013For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"
