1971 Bill Stroppe prepared Baja Edition Bronco, rust free, highly optioned very nice Bronco. This Baja is on the Baja Bronco Registry and is a highly optioned Baja. It had all of the standard options. Saginaw power steering (present), Stroppe lettered automatic transmission adapter (present), padded steering wheel (not present), Stroppe Deluxe roll bar (present), trailer hitch (not present), dual shocks (present), cut fender rear wells (present), trimmed front fenders (present), spare tire cover (reproduction), and front bumper braces (passenger side present). In addition to the standard package, this Baja has a very cool Stroppe installed hood scoop. I found this Bronco painted green and the interior was brushed with asphalt emulsion. It was horrible to remove but kept the original floorboards rust free. The Bronco was given a paint job using Dupont Chromabase materials. All the chrome, the bumpers, and all the lenses were replaced. The suspension parts and axles were removed and all parts were powder coated when possible, otherwise painted. A 2 1/2" suspension lift was installed with all new poly bushings and 8 new shocks. The frame and underside of the tub were thoroughly cleaned and painted. I found some vintage American Racing slotted aluminum wheels, had them polished, and put 32x11.50 BFG All Terrain tires on. The seat springs and frames were powder coated and new foam and upholstery was installed. The dash was painted its original parchment color and the pad was replaced. The engine compartment was cleaned, painted, the gaskets were replaced on the motor. New valve covers, air cleaner, and exhaust have been installed. Many other things have been done to this Bronco such as a larger after-market fuel tank and a dual motor wiper conversion kit. A few custom touches have also been added to this Bronco. Bronco Design Roadster style door inserts were installed with custom belt line chrome added to the inserts. Bronco Design rear flares were put on, custom rivet-style bolts were used, and hood pins were installed to give it a super clean look. Running gear on this Bronco is all in excellent condition. The transmission shifts beautifully and the 351W is very powerful. 2 1/4" exhaust with glass packs makes this Bronco sound unbelievable. This Bronco draws a lot of attention at car shows or driving down the freeway. It looks and runs amazing, however it is 1971 technology and it's lifted with wide tires and a short wheel base. Every time I take it out, it takes me a minute to get used to driving it. Additionally this Bronco sits in the garage most of the time. It has always run great for me but I only take it out a few times a year. It's being sold as-is with no warranties. The fuel gauge has stopped working properly. The needle moves when you turn the key on but stays on E. The rear main does drip a little bit due to sitting. The radio is just a face plate only, I did not need an AM only radio but like the clean look of the original. This Bronco has performed excellent for me but I have only driven it to local car shows and parties. The paint is about 5 years old so some rock chips and normal wear and tear has occurred. Feel free to give me a call with any questions or to come take a look and drive it. My number is 360-921-4278. Seller is responsible for arranging and paying for shipping. My house is very near I-5 and there is a truck stop 5 minutes from my house for easy pick-up. Here are a couple of videos of my Bronco: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5HMqcy0H44 and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lx0jy1BDNYI |

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!"
Ford F-35 Lightning II Edition Mustang appears at EAA Oshkosh
Sat, 26 Jul 2014Ford is back at the Experimental Aircraft Association AirVenture air show in Oshkosh, WI, on July 31 auctioning off its seventh Mustang for charity, and this is one seriously mean looking 2015 'Stang. All of the money from the sale goes to give free introductory flights to young people to get them interested in aviation.
We recently saw this latest EAA Mustang as a sketch. However, it looks a whole lot more menacing in person. Dubbed the Ford F-35 Lightning II Edition Mustang, it takes liberal inspiration from Lockheed Martin's latest fighter jet, and the customization makes the pony car look ready for a role in Top Gun.
On the outside, the special Mustang wears titanium-color paint that's offset by a black and yellow stripe running from hood to rear. Out back things get really wild with a mix of bright yellow and black that flows diagonally all the way to the rear spoiler. The design is based on the livery of early production F-35s. If the rousing color scheme isn't enough to get you interested, the car also gets a carbon fiber front splitter and rear diffuser, lowered suspension and a set of custom 21-inch wheels with yellow brake calipers.
Forza Horizon 3 adds Ford Police Interceptor, Jeep CJ5
Tue, Oct 4 2016We're only a few weeks past the debut of Forza Horizon 3, and already the folks at Turn 10 are introducing the first of six car packs for the open-world driving game. Focused heavily on performance, there are still a few, um, oddballs, including one we're sure Forza's livery customizers will have a blast with. The Smoking Tire Car Pack brings seven new vehicles to FH3, with the Aston Martin Vulcan, Pagani Huayra BC, GTA Spano, Lotus 340R, and BMW M2 repping traditional performance vehicles. As per usual, FH3 renders each car beautifully and promises a solid approximation of real-world performance – even if you do ditch the roads and opt to rampage through the Australian countryside. While performance is good, the Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor and the Jeep CJ5 Renegade bring an off-beat vibe to this particular pack. We aren't certain, but this might be the first time the Police Interceptor appears in a blockbuster driving game. While we expect plenty of police car liveries for the Crown Vic, Forza's rabid community of tuners and customizers are sure to do much more with it. As for the CJ5, is there a better vehicle for tooling about Australia? Yeah, we didn't think so. The Smoking Tire Car Pack is available for free as part of the Forza Horizon 3 Ultimate Edition or Car Pass program. Commitment-phobes can also download this single vehicle pack for $7.
