1969 Ford Bronco-original Owner on 2040-cars
Placerville, California, United States
I picked up this Bronco about 10 months ago from the original owners family. Mr. Leo Rice bought it new in November 1968 at Starr Ford in Roseville Calif. Roseville is a few miles east of Sacramento in Northern California. It spent its whole life there as Mr. Rice was a Air Force Pilot stationed at McClellan AFB in Sacramento. He flew C130s during the Vietnam War. When Mr. Rice passed away, his daughter and son in law inherited it where it was kept in running condition until I bought it. It currently has just over 106,000 original miles. It was well maintained by way of oil changes which I have a thick folder. I received all original paperwork including purchase agreement and service manuals. Mr. Rice also grabbed the original Dealer brochure that was in the showroom when he picked up the Bronco. Since purchasing, I have rebuilt the entire brake system with new shoes and wheel cylinders. I have installed new front coil springs and all new shocks all around. I have also replaced the steering stabilizer. I have completely replaced the entire exhaust with stock original. I have repaired any and all leaks that this vehicle had. Replaced leaking rear mail seal and pan gasket. Replaced leaking rear pinion seal. I have put in new spark plugs, rotor, condenser, points and cap. I had the original carburetor rebuilt and replaced the fuel filter. I installed new air and oil filters with new oil change. I replaced the windshield washer tank. I have installed a new battery. This is a 3 speed on the column and no chatter in clutch. On the interior I replaced all the seat covers with correct original reproduction. I replaced the padded dash and glove box. I took the speedometer apart as it got noisy from sitting and cleaned, lubricated and installed all new light bulbs. I scrubbed the entire inside with simple green while the interior was out including the original rubber floor covering which now looks new. I repainted the interior of the doors as the were scratched and had 4" speaker holes that were cut in. I patched those with round discs as seen in pictures. I installed a new reproduction headliner. I also have installed all new weather stripping throughout the vehicle. The front windshield was replaced due to a crack. On the outside I buffed the second repaint and polished it. The paint is very nice. I replaced all the emblems, lenses and marker lenses. I installed new door handles. I sandblasted the wheels and repainted to match the vehicle. I installed reproduction stainless steel hubcaps. I replaced the rear bumper which was a "Barden" type and that is why you see 2 holes on each side of the body where it attached to the rear fender. I also inspected very thoroughly any possibility of any rust issues and found none. I am aware of this vintage Ford Bronco and where they rust. Nothing was found. ---Final Condition--- Everything works on this Bronco including the windshield washer and emergency brake light. Radio Heater and Defroster all perform well. The only thing that does not work is the auxiliary gas tank sending unit. I am too lazy to pull the tank down. The Bronco starts, runs and drives perfectly and leaks nothing. It does not smoke, use oil or run anywhere north of mid range on the gauge. When driving and since completing all above there is not 1 rattle anywhere inside which it had many when I bought it. It is very quiet inside while driving. I am selling to move on to the next flip. Please call me with any questions. NOTE: Unless you are an active bidder/buyer on EBAY and with at least 5 feedbacks in last 6 months, please contact me first or your bid will be rejected. NO DISSAPOINTMENTS if you buy this car.

You can see the winch in the front bumper. It works excellent. |

2015 Ford Mustang gets pricing, configurator and less weight than expected
Fri, 13 Jun 2014It's here; it's finally here. No more speculating or looking at dealer order guides, the configurator for the 2015 Ford Mustang is finally online. That means you should put down whatever you're doing and build your new 'Stang. Weight data for the new model has also leaked out, and while there is an increase, it's less than previously rumored.
The basic V6 coupe carries a base price of $23,600, plus an additional $825 destination charge for all models. Upgrading to the 2.3-liter Ecoboost costs $25,170, and the Ecoboost Premium is $29,170. If you need a V8 in your life, the Mustang GT is $32,100 or $36,100 with the Premium package. That puts the starting price up about $1,000 over the previous generation for the V6, but the turbocharged four-cylinder starts about $1,400 less than the V6 Premium, which is no longer available. Prices for both V8 models jumped about $1,000, as well.
If you need the convertible Mustang, the V6 starts at $29,100, excluding destination, $1,590 more than last year. The Ecoboost Premium 'vert is $34,670, and the GT droptop is $41,600.
2016 Ford Focus RS may yet be AWD, US sales likely
Fri, 29 Aug 2014When it comes to forbidden fruit, few vehicles are spoken of in as hushed a tone as the Ford Focus RS. The turbocharged, five-cylinder hot hatch could only be seen from afar by American customers as it tore up the roads of Europe. And while it's safe to say that Ford's Yankee fans are quite happy to now be on equal footing with drivers in the old country thanks to the Focus ST, we doubt there'd be much protestation over a successor to the RS arriving stateside.
Of course, we've seen images of the new RS undergoing testing, but a new story by Road and Track aims to fill in some very large blanks in our knowledge of that car, thanks to a pair of mysterious insiders at the Ford. Chief among those is this - the RS will almost certainly make its way to the US, albeit in limited quantities. It gets better, though.
Under hood, the new RS is unsurprisingly expected to borrow the 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder from the 2015 Ford Mustang and 2015 Lincoln MKC. While that twin-scroll turbo produces 310 horsepower in the Mustang and 285 ponies in the MKC, R&T expects the RS to deliver quite a bit more firepower - 325 to 350 hp, with preference going to the higher output due to the limited-edition nature of the RS. This roughly fits with previous reports.
Can an actual Ford F-150 ride on 4 Power Wheels F-150s?
Tue, Dec 9 2014A lot of kids are rough on their toys, especially when it comes to those made to be used outside, like a four-wheeled kid-size Power Wheels. Whether it's cruising through the sand box, carrying piles of rocks in the driveway or crashing around trees in the backyard, these motorized vehicles often take punishment from the moment the giftwrap comes off. The folks at Fisher-Price decided to give their latest F-150 Power Wheels a true torture test worse than any kid could have ever managed by setting a real 2015 Ford F-150 on top of four of them. Would the little toy trucks explode in a shower of plastic shards in a massive collapse, and if not, could they drive away afterwards? The latest F-150 might be 700 pounds lighter thanks to the switch to aluminum, but it's still a fullsize pickup. According to this clip, the truck weighs in at 4,120 pounds, which puts an average of 1,030 pounds on each of the toys. Check out the video above to see how the stunt goes, and click on the gallery below for some behind-the-scenes looks at the setup.
