Hi, I'm selling my personal frame off resto-mod Bronco. I purchased this for the sole purpose to build an
incredible show car and weekend driver. The restoration took almost two years and no expense spared. The body was
removed and the entire bronco taken apart. The body was blasted and the panels that needed to be replaced were. Not
necessarily from any issues but wanted to have the best canvas to start with. The body was then sealed and sent to
the body shop for paint. There was over 120 hours spent on making sure that the Lamborghini paint was going to be
prefect. The under side was coated with a bedliner type paint. The frame was sent to blast as well and was painted
with a frame gloss black paint. A disc brake conversion and new brake and fuel lines were installed as well as all
body mounts, shocks, gas tank and skid plate, springs (3 1/2), bumpers and t-case mount. The top was also blasted
sealed and painted and installed all new glass, seals, shocks, and hardware. Once the body was painted is was
placed back on the frame for final assembly. I installed a brand new create 302 and every nut and bolt was
replaced. The engine has new valve covers, manifold, ignition, oil pan, carb, plug wires, fuel pump, water pump,
fan, radiator, radiator hoses, belts alternator, and power steering pump. I also had a custom intake done so that
there was no clearance issues with the new factory hood. The transmission shifter cane was customized and installed
to allow the np435 to clear with a very clean look. The interior was completely insulated and all new carpet was
installed. 4 speakers were installed as well as an amp that allows you to play your phone through the speakers with
no head unit. A new console was installed and custom switch panel with push button start was fabricated to be
locked into the console for parking and storage. All new front and rear seats were installed along with new trim
and seat brackets. Racing seat belts were installed for the front seats. The dash was custom made for the auto
meter gauges. All new column, steering wheel, intermediate steering shaft, pedals, and dash were installed. The
wiring was a new kit and was made with custom hidden fuse box. All wiring was done, terminated, and loomed. New led
tail lights. The all new windshield, seals, door seals, inner door mechanics, door panels, door glass, mirrors,
handles, hinges and latches were installed. A custom roll cage was built, powder coated and installed.
Almost every single nut or bolt was replaced with ford bronco specific hardware. A custom dual flow master exhaust
was done.
All new driveshafts, joints and hardware
Basically everything is new
I am not a company that built this as a cookie cutter for profit. This bronco was built as a 1 off custom build for
my personal collection.
Before delivery the bronco will be sent out for polishing, break in oil change, once over on all bolts to ensure
its perfect. There was a couple small things that need touched up from the final assembly. I have put roughly 60
miles on it sense it was completed. It is absolutely incredible to drive. Life has changed in the last two years
and I can no longer keep it. If the bronco doesn't sell for what the market dictates for a build like this then it
will wait to be sold at either Barrett Jackson or Mecum later this year. Thank you for looking and let me know if
you have any questions.
I am located in Northern California and buyer is responsible for pickup. I will help facilitate though.

Our love of SUVs is killing people in the streets

Tue, Jul 17 2018

Americans are fond of supersized fast-food meals and colossal convenience-store fountain drinks, even though they're clearly bad for our health and U.S. adults keep getting fatter. We also like large vehicles, and our love affair with SUVs is killing people in the streets. According to a recent investigation by the Detroit Free Press/USA Today, the increase in SUV sales over the past several years coincides with a sharp rise in pedestrian deaths in the U.S. — up 46 percent since 2009, with nearly 6,000 people killed in 2016 alone. With SUV sales surpassing sedans in 2014 and pickups and SUVs currently accounting for 60 percent of new vehicle sales, it's no wonder Ford announced in April plans to cease U.S. sales of almost all passenger cars. And this followed Fiat Chrysler's move to virtually an all-truck, -SUV and -crossover lineup. While the Freep/USA Today investigation found that the simultaneous surge in SUV sales and pedestrian deaths comes down to vehicle size, it also points to a lack of action on the part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), even though it knew of the dangers SUVs pose to pedestrians. Also blamed are automakers dragging their feet on implementing active safety features. Using federal accident data, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) determined that there was an 81 percent increase in single-vehicle pedestrian fatalities involving SUVs between 2009 and 2016. Freep/USA Today's analysis of the same data by counting vehicles that struck and killed pedestrians instead of the number of people killed showed a 69 percent increase in SUV involvement. As far back as 2001, researchers at Rowan University forecasted a rise in pedestrian deaths as Americans began switching to SUVs. "In the United States, passenger vehicles are shifting from a fleet populated primarily by cars to a fleet dominated by light trucks and vans," the researchers wrote, with light trucks comprising SUVs.

Ford of Europe celebrates Mondeo's 20th anniversary

Wed, 25 Sep 2013

Ford's European operations are celebrating a milestone of sorts as the Mondeo, the Blue Oval's bread-and-butter D-segment sedan in the old country, celebrates its 20th anniversary. The mid-sizer, which was sold in the US for a short time as the Contour, has been a far more popular vehicle in Europe - even receiving regular praise from one Jeremy Clarkson.
Narrated by Cockney actor Ray Winstone, the video goes through the Mondeo's years and how it's evolved from 1993 to the as-yet-unreleased fifth-generation model, which is essentially the same as the Ford Fusion that's sold in America. Take a look below for the full video from Ford of Europe.

2015 Ford F-150 [w/videos]

Thu, 02 Oct 2014

To learn more about the all-new 2015 F-150 and get an early read on its potential hero-or-zero status, we flew to the heart of full-size pickup truck country, San Antonio, TX, to spend a day driving, towing and playing in the mud with an assortment of Ford's innovative new trucks.
First, a caveat - while we feel we have a reasonably good handle on the new F-150 after attending this first-drive event, we are far from ready to pass definitive judgment on the success of this radically new rig. Our time in the various models was lamentably limited and we felt rushed. With so much at stake and with so much to talk about and experience, we had zero alone time with the vehicle - there were Ford folks shadowing us at every moment.
And we still don't know everything there is to know about the trucks, as Ford is withholding some of its most crucial numbers, including curb weight data and anticipated EPA fuel economy figures. We don't even have a firm on-sale date. All of this information is typically disclosed - or at least officially estimated - at the time of a new vehicle's first drive. This limits the scope of the judgments we feel comfortable making based on our first encounter.
