1973 Bronco

The good: Original rebuilt 302 with headers. Power steering, manual drum brakes.  Dana 44 front, 9" rear.  3.50 gears. No leaks...well maybe a few drops of oil here and ther, but nothing major like most Broncos.

New interior with recovered seats and new carpeting.  Includes newly covered back seat.  New paint. New fuel tank. New steering wheel.

3 speed manual, new exhaust, new bumpers, new heater core, new exterior trim, light covers, etc.  All new weatherstripping and window seals. 

The car was originally green. I did not paint the interior floor or engine bay. I do have three cans of matching blue paint in spray cans that I planned to spray the engine bay, just never got to it. 

I added a photo of the floors taken before I installed the carpeting to show how solid they are.  I do have the complete rear spare tire carrier pieces.  They were painted blue to match the car if you want to install them.  I didn't install because I don't like the look.  The holes are still in the body for adding these.  Tires are newer and have good tread.

The bad:  Steering is a little loose, but tracks straight.  Steering column wires not connected, so horn and blinkers don't work poperly.  Blinker switches have been added to dash, so blinkers do work, just not connected to original switch.  Body is rust free, but there was some rust in the passenger floor board.  This was not removed, but another floor pan was installed on top of the original.  Overall solid floors.  Rocker panels were replaced and door posts are very solid.

Ford Escort testing, may be bound for Europe

Tue, 01 Apr 2014

There has been little news about Ford's China-focused Escort concept since debuting at last year's Shanghai Motor Show, but the no-frills sedan has shown its camouflaged face again during cold weather testing in Northern Sweden. While far from a guarantee, the test location might hint that the Blue Oval plans to market the car outside of Asia.
The Escort's black robe and zebra paint make it hard to tell if anything specific has changed about the design, but the shape of the sedan looks close to what was shown in Shanghai. Under the disguise, you can still make out the hexagonal front grille from the concept. When Ford announced the model, the company said that the design wasn't supposed to be "arrogant or pretentious," and it certainly achieved that. The engine range is still a mystery, but it seems safe to expect small, economy-focused powertrains.
A report from last year indicated that Ford may be considering broadening the new Escort beyond Asia and possibly even selling it in Europe. The fact that the company brought it to Sweden for testing could bolster that argument. A release date hasn't been set yet, but the automaker has promised 15 new products for China by 2015. The basic sedan could be on the road soon.

Subcompact sales slump, yet again

Google's new Android Autos OS unveiled, will be in cars this year [w/video]

Wed, 25 Jun 2014

Connected cars are coming en-masse. We know this much. How, though, remains something of an open question, especially as two of the world's largest tech companies are preparing to battle for control of your car's dashboard. On the one hand, we have Apple and its CarPlay system. And now, we know what Google has been working on with Auto Link.
Its new name is Android Auto, and yes, it's based off the Android architecture that is the primary challenger to Apple's iOS mobile operating system. Announced at Google's I/O conference today, Android Auto functions similarly to CarPlay - owners will need to plug their smartphones into their cars to access the full breadth of capability.
In Android Auto's case, that means a wealth of voice controls to limit distracted driving. Google's marquee apps will be available when the interface arrives in production models later this year, including Google Play Music, Google Maps and voice-activated texting and text playback. Meanwhile, developers will be able to begin designing custom apps for the new system via an upcoming software development kit.
