1974 Ford Bronco Early Frameoff Restoration Restomod Motorswap Fiberglass Body on 2040-cars
Richardson, Texas, United States
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. More Details and Specifications: · Custom bumpers – 4” square tube with grill guard – silver powder coat (light bezels also power coated) · New Stereo – CD\USB, 5.5”s, 6x9”s Kenwood amp and 12” sub · Dana 44 and Ford 9” both with 4.11 - Both axles rebuilt · 23 Gallon fuel tank · Chrome Power brakes booster · Power steering · Pro Comp Mud Terrain tires – 35x12.5x15 · C4 Trans – Rebuilt – very firm shifts · 351w motor - Rebuilt · Flow Cooler aluminum water pump · Edelbrock Performer intake · Holley 750 double pump- dialed in, very consistent and reliable · Duff oil pan and pickup tube · New seals on oil pan, water pump timing cover · Main seals front and rear · Duff headers – 2.5” into glasspacks with 3.5” turn downs in front of rear tires to the sides · Flow Kooler 4 core radiator · Battery mounted in right rear · Kentrol fiberglass body - OE doors, windshield frame, and tailgate · Kentrol fiberglass full top with Duff tinted bubble windows = If you don’t care for the hard top, let me know, I will reduce the buy it now price. · Bronco Graveyard Family roll bar · Door panels are diamond plate · OE gauges work properly · Bumpers powder coated, new starter, battery, alternator, voltage regulator, air cleaner assembly and engine main seals · Superlift adjustable track bar · Duff 2” variable rate springs · Duff poly bushings · Duff track bar drop bracket · Rancho stabilizer · Duff shocks (4) · Rancho RS-5000 shocks(2) · Bronco Graveyard traction bars (above leafs) · 3” body lift · Dana 20 Transfer case · Fyi-The diamond plate bed rails are only permanently installed. I haven’t decided if I like it better with or without. 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). |

Ford leads top searched-for car brands on Google in 2014
Mon, Dec 22 2014With less than two weeks until 2014 takes its final bow, anyone and everyone is looking back on the past 50 or so weeks to see how they stacked up. For search giant Google, that means its time to check out its annual Trends report. Besides the most popular search term (the late, great Robin Williams), the most searched for gadget (the iPhone 6) and most searched for disease symptoms (quite worryingly, Ebola took the crown here), we have the most searched for automaker. With the long-awaited sixth-generation of one of America's most iconic vehicles, the Mustang, and a ground-breaking update for the US market's perennial best seller, the F-Series, it should come as no surprise at all that Ford was Google's most searched for automaker in 2014. Jeep captured second place, while Dodge, took third. We suspect introducing a pair of cars with 707 horsepower had something to do with that bronze medal... Scroll down to see the rest of this year's most searched for automakers, and then head into Comments and let us know if you're surprised by any of these. This content is hosted by a third party.

Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes
Mon, 18 Jul 2011Ford has announced through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling nearly 3,000 examples of its Five Hundred and Mercury Montego (pictured) sedans from the 2007 model year.
The action, which affects 2,945 vehicles, is due to potentially defective welds between the filler neck and the fuel tank, a condition that could result in a fuel leak or the smell of gasoline reaching the occupants. In the worst-case scenario, a leak could cause a fire. Cars with the affected fuel tank problem could see an illuminated dashboard warning light as a result of the evaporative emissions leak being detected.
Ford will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no cost to owners (those who have already had the procedure done at-cost can apply for reimbursement), and the Dearborn automaker will begin notifying Five Hundred and Montego owners beginning August 15. Check out the official NHTSA press release after the jump for further details.
Ford Escort returns... as a concept
Sat, 20 Apr 2013Ford is kickin' it old school at the Shanghai Motor Show for 2013 with a new Escort Concept - "a name that stirs up thoughts of basic, affordable transportation rather than great driving dynamics or bold design" as we said in our initial preview of the small C-segment sedan. Or, as Ford puts it, "Customers in China described seeking a vehicle that is stylish - but not one that is arrogant or pretentious." Potato, potahto...
It's an interesting amalgam of design notes with Ford's recent and stylish hexagonal grille up front, flanked by some pretty busy LED light clusters and chrome-trimmed air intakes at the lower extremities of the fascia, but the Escort Concept is not altogether unattractive. Besides its external appearance, we really don't have much information to report - Ford has not yet hinted at what may be powering this little machine, but we'd expect something with four cylinders and less that 2.0 liters of displacement sending a modest number of horses to the front tires.
It probably goes without saying, but we don't expect to see this Escort make its way to the United States, since we already have the Focus and the Fiesta battling it out in the econobox segment. That said, it's very likely to spawn a production model that will roll out here in China and in other developing market where multiple C-segment entries are becoming increasingly common. Check out our high-res image gallery of live images above, and let us know what you think of the car's styling, then scroll down below for the official press release.
