For sale is an uncut 1970 Ford Bronco with removable top. It starts up easily and the steering, clutch, and breaks work great. There are no fluid leaks and does not pull to the left or right. All lights and windshield wipers work. Windows open and glide smoothly including the back hatch. It has the original a.m. radio, however does not work.  I did purchase a new speaker for it and installed it.  Also, the horn is not working. While mileage says 11,785 I’m sure it’s much higher than that.  With that said, the motor has been rebuilt.  It has strong compression and is an everyday driver. I have owned several Bronco's and by far this is the best running one I have ever owned.

There is a small indention over back, right passenger wheel which is barely noticeable in the pictures, but wanted to mention it.   I had a four inch by six inch area cut out and welded and skimmed leaving the small indention which is only noticeable in certain light.  There were a couple of other small dents that were fixed.  Other than that the body is in incredible shape.  Underneath there are a few surface rust spots, but nothing structural.  In the pictures you can see the undercoating peeling off.  That is not rust. Underneath the truck is solid.  A few minor dings still exist, but over all looks beautiful. The truck is solid. The hard top inside and out and door panels were all painted and clear-coated when the truck was re-painted.

The following have been replaced in the past 18 months:

  • Five new radial tires
  • three new seat covers
  • battery
  • two rubber seals for both doors and two rubber seals above door on hard top
  • water solvent bottle
  • carburetor rebuilt
  • fuel filter replaced
  • new thermostat assembly
  • new brake drums and shoes all the way around
  • new master cylinder
  • new brake hardware kit
  • all new brake lines
  • all new break cylinders
  • new dash cover

This is a very dependable, strong running truck. Super fun to drive! Has to go to make room for a new project.

This is being sold "as is". A deposit of $1,000 is due within 24 hours of auction end and remaining balance due within five working days from end of auction. Buyer responsible for shipping and needs to be picked up with 10 days of end of auction.

Happy Bidding!

70% of pickups could use aluminum by 2025

Wed, 11 Jun 2014

In the next decade, the auto industry will see an explosion in its use of aluminum to cut weight and increase fuel economy, according to a study from market analysts Ducker Worldwide cited by The Detroit News. We are already seeing the lightweight metal show up extensively in luxury models from Europe, but with the impending launch of aluminum-intensive 2015 Ford F-150 (pictured above), North America is using it even more, as well. The report predicts 70 percent of US pickups to have aluminum bodies by 2025.
It won't just be pickups that see the benefit, though. The average amount of aluminum in US vehicles is forecasted by the study to grow from an average of 350 pounds in 2013 to about 550 pounds by 2025. The most common parts to use it will be hoods, doors and - to some extent - roofs, as well.
The massive increase in pickups' aluminum content hardly seems surprising. The F-150 is predicted to use so much that it might cause a short-term shortage, according to one earlier report. At the same time General Motors is heavily rumored to be negotiating with suppliers for the next generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. Ram is the last holdout of the Big Three, but the study predicts that not to last.

NHTSA closes Ford F-150 EcoBoost acceleration probe

Mon, 14 Apr 2014

Typically when we report on the findings of an investigation from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, it's because the government body has discovered a safety issue and prescribed a recall. In this case, however, NHTSA has closed an investigation into a reported performance deficit without ever getting to the recall stage.
The issue revolves around the Ford F-150 - specifically those equipped with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine - of which some 360,000 were built in the 2011, 2012 and 2013 model years. After receiving an initial 95 complaints, NHTSA opened an investigation last May - almost a year ago - into the reported issue of reduced engine power under hard acceleration. The agency has since received a total of 525 such complaints, and Ford itself reported receiving over 4,000.
Together, NHTSA and Ford determined that the problem resulted from cylinders misfiring, an issue itself stemming from water getting into the charge air cooler (CAC) mated to the turbochargers. In particularly humid or rainy conditions, water was found to get into the CAC, causing some of the cylinders to misfire, which in turn triggered the ECU to disable those cylinders in order to protect the catalytic converter from damage.

Ford Mustang EcoBoost has fake engine soundtrack

Wed, 24 Sep 2014

The 2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost represents a huge change for the Blue Oval as the first pony car in decades to be available with a four-cylinder engine. But a recent tweet (below) from Road & Track raised our curiosity about the new vehicle. Editor Jason Cammisa pulled a fuse while driving the latest 'Stang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine, and he found that both the stereo and engine went quiet in the cabin. That indicated the coupe might have some form of artificial engine sound being piped in - a feature not previously heavily reported for the model. Autoblog spoke with Ford engineer Shawn Carney who confirmed that only the turbocharged four-cylinder Mustang comes with this system, called Active Noise Control.
