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).

GMC Hummer EV SUV first drive, RIP Camaro, Ferrari Roma Spider | Autoblog Podcast # 773

Fri, Mar 24 2023

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by News Editor Joel Stocksdale. They start off with one of the week's biggest official news items — the impending death of the sixth-gen Chevrolet Camaro. On the subject of powerful American cars, they pivot to a teaser from Stellantis execs that there are big things ahead for its Dodge Charger SRT Daytona Banshee concept. From there, they look at Ferrari's new topless Roma and then get into Ford's multi-billion-dollar electric vehicle pivot. Speaking of expensive EVs, Joel just got back from driving the new GMC Hummer SUV. He also had the new F-150 Lightning Pro in his driveway, and that's followed by Greg's update on Autoblog's long-term Toyota Sienna.  Autoblog Podcast # 773 Get The Podcast Apple Podcasts – Subscribe to the Autoblog Podcast in iTunes Spotify – Subscribe to the Autoblog Podcast on Spotify RSS – Add the Autoblog Podcast feed to your RSS aggregator MP3 – Download the MP3 directly Rundown News Chevrolet Camaro production will officially end after 2024 model year Dodge CEO teases more to come from Charger SRT Daytona Banshee Ferrari Roma Spider returns a front-engined soft top to the lineup Ford Model e losing billions as it says EV unit should be seen as startup What we're driving Ford F-150 Lightning Pro 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV 2023 Toyota Sienna Platinum AWD Feedback Email – Podcast@Autoblog.com Review the show on Apple Podcasts Autoblog is now live on your smart speakers and voice assistants with the audio Autoblog Daily Digest.

Mustang, Camaro, Challenger gallop onto USPS pony car postage stamp set

Tue, Jul 19 2022

Some of America's most iconic cars are about to be immortalized on postage stamps. A new set by the U.S. Postal Service will celebrate the the golden era of pony cars, featuring five classic examples of Detroit iron. Each one is beautifully illustrated in oil-on-canvas style, with subjects in motion and sunlight glinting off the chrome, and would add a nice touch to any first-class letter. The pony car segment was all about (relatively) small, sporty alternatives to the full-size land yachts of the 1960s. They typically came equipped with 6-cylinder engines or small-block V8s. The category was named after the Ford Mustang, hence  the name. Some, though, argue that the Plymouth Barracuda, which was launched a couple of weeks before the Mustang, is the first. Luckily, the Falcon-based Mustang's distinct styling generated a sales sensation, or we might be calling them fish cars. Appropriately, one of the featured cars is a Mustang. But it's not just any Mustang. The 1969 Boss 302, seen here resplendent in Bright Yellow, was created for the hotly-contested SCCA Trans-Am racing series. One of its main rivals would have been the 1969 Chevy Camaro Z/28, also created specifically for the series, and is included in the set in Fathom Green. Representing Auburn Hills in the set is a 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T in Plum Crazy, while Southfield's American Motors gets a nod with an AMC Javelin in Big Bad Orange. The Mustang's platform cousin, a 1967 Mercury Cougar XR-7, is portrayed in a gorgeous Burgundy Poly that almost looks incomplete without Neko Case on the hood. It's not the first time the USPS has honored America's rich car culture on its stamps. In 2013, it issues a series of muscle car stamps with the help of Richard Petty. That set featured a 1966 Pontiac GTO, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1970 Chevelle SS, 1970 Plymouth Hemi ’Cuda and, of course, a 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona. Another set in 2016 featured classic pickup trucks. Going further back, a 2008 release had chroed and finned automobiles of the 1950s and a 2005 release featured sporty American cars of the same era. The pony car stamps will debut on August 25 at the Great American Stamp Show in Sacramento, California in partnership with the American Philatelic Society. The public is free to attend the dedication ceremony, but you must RSVP first. After that, they will be available at local post offices and on line at the USPS store.
