1974 Ford Bronco Early

Frame Off Restoration. RestoMod. Motor Swap. Body Swap.

This is an amazing Early bronco, it looks great, dialed in mechanically and drives wonderfully.  It will crawl or cruise (well) over highway speeds.  I drive it often up and down the highway to work or out on the town.  It tracks straight, shifts smooth and has no slack in the steering. The Bronco has a pronounced sound, with a nice deep growl produced by the 351 with headers and true dual side pipes.  It is tagged, titled and inspected.  All lights, electrical and gauges work too, of course.

The Bronco has had a number of modifications and improvements over the years, in multiple phases.  It began years ago as a frame off project from the ground up.  All components were improved. The frame was sand blasted and epoxy painted. Suspension replaces.  The drive train was imported to a Winsor 351 with C4 Automatic transmission.  Then topped off with a new fiberglass body, fenders, hardtop and hood; there is nearly $10k just in fiberglass parts (doors and tailgate are OEM metal). 

In more recent history it has brand interior; new smittybuilt front and rear seats (spice color), seat belts, new stereo (6x9s amp 12” sub), interior bed liner and matching soft top. I also have a fiberglass hardtop that is white, which will be included in the buy it now price.  If you do not care for the top I will lower the buy it now. 

New professional bodywork and paint with warrantee (factory red.) dash and interior doors also painted.  It is a good driver quality; prime, 4 coat red, 4 coat clear.  Paint is not show quality; it has not been wet sanded and buffered so therefore has a few imperfections.  But it works well from me, I didn’t want to overdo it and the paint detour me from using the truck at the trails near my house or letting the kids and dogs pile in and have fun cruising as a family. The odometer shows 46k, I don’t have evidence if this is the actual mileage or if it is truly 146k, but given it’s a restored condition, and a motor swap, the mileage is not a true depiction of the truck and of little concern.

This is my personal truck, so I obviously cannot offer a warranty or guarantee. The truck is also for sale locally, so I must reserve the right to end the auction anytime for any reason.  I’ve attempted to list everything as accurately as possible, but please feel free to ask any questions I will be happy to address (but due to the magnitude of questions and effort it requires to address, I must ask that you only ask questions if you are serious or have actually bid on the truck).

2015 Ford Mustang will tell authorities how you crashed and if you were belted [w/video]

Sat, 28 Jun 2014

When the 2015 Ford Mustang hits dealers, it will be with a new batch of features that will power up Sync's 911 Assist feature, and provide an even greater degree of information to first responders in the event of an accident.
911 Assist will already make a phone call, via a Bluetooth-connected phone, should you bin your car. The automatic message to first responders is a pre-recorded blurb from Ford. With the new enhancements, though, emergency personnel can learn about the maximum change in velocity and whether the crash involved a front, rear, side or a rollover impact. 911 Assist will also send information about how many seat belts were in use and if airbags deployed, allowing more accurate dispatch of resources.
"Sync will only broadcast relevant information to save time, and it constructs a very efficient message for the operator," said David Hatton, the global project leader with Ford Connected Services. "After the introductory message, the voice line opens automatically and occupants can speak directly with the operator via Sync's hands-free functionality."

Ford will probably never offer two RS models at the same time

Mon, 18 Mar 2013

Autocar has some sour news for fans of go-fast Ford products. According to Roelant de Waard, Ford's president of marketing in Europe, the automaker will probably never offer more than one RS performance model for sale at the same time. That statement runs contrary earlier rumblings that suggested Ford would launch its next-generation Focus RS in 2015 and follow the hatch with a spate of other vehicles with an RS badge. But de Waard has made it clear that Ford of Europe is now focused on squarely on the next Mustang, even though there may be more RS models on the way eventually.
"What is clear is that the RS shouldn't be a series, or a car badge that we have in our portfolio all the time. It is an extreme car - something more than ST," he said.
That philosophy makes plenty of sense. We loved the old Focus RS - shown above in RS500 trim - because it was generally bonkers and plenty exclusive. Diluting either aspect is sure to end in disappointment for everyone involved.

Ford F-250 boots Cadillac Escalade from atop thieves' most-wanted list

Tue, 09 Jul 2013

The Ford F-Series has been America's best-selling truck for decades, but along with the good comes the bad, apparently. In addition to being popular with consumers, the Highway Loss Data Institute notes that the F-Series Super Duty has risen in popularity among thieves. Based on its new study, the four-wheel drive crew cab F-250 Super Duty has topped the list for the country's highest rate of insurance theft claims, knocking the Cadillac Escalade from the top spot - a distinction the luxury SUV has held since this annual report was first established in 2003.
To reach its findings, HLDI looks at theft data from the previous three model years (in this case 2010-2012) to determine the frequency of claims for a particular make and mode,l as well as the average payment per claim. As the report points out, the claims aren't always for the theft of the entire vehicle - they can include components (say, wheels and tires) or property taken from the vehicle. At seven claims per 1,000 insured vehicles, the F-250 is six times more likely to suffer a theft claim than the average vehicle.
The Cadillac likely dropped from the top of the list to sixth due to additional theft-prevention features including a steering wheel lock and inclination sensor for the alarm, but GM's other fullsize trucks and SUVs still occupy eight of the list's 10 spots. Some of the least stolen vehicles with below-average loss payments include the Lexus HS250h, Hyundai Tucson, Honda CR-V and Dodge Journey. Head on over to the HLDI's website for the full list that shows the most and least popular vehicles among thieves from 2010 through 2012.
