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). |

Uber hopes facilities in Detroit will help shape its autonomous future
Mon, Sep 19 2016Hot off the heels of unleashing its fleet of self-driving vehicles in Pittsburgh, PA, Uber announced plans to open a new facility in the Detroit, MI area, reports Automotive News. The new facility was announced at an event hosted by Society of Automotive Engineers in Detroit, MI. Uber's vice president of global vehicle programs Sherif Marakby revealed the news, reports Automotive News. The facility is meant to help the ride-sharing company collaborate with suppliers and automakers in the area. There's no word on where Uber will build the new facility or how big it will be, as those factors have yet to be determined. Just like Pittsburgh, PA, Detroit, MI could become another testing ground for the ride-sharing company. The latest move to open a facility in the Detroit area comes after Uber offered users in Pittsburgh the chance to ride in one of its autonomous vehicle as it looks to gain vital real-world testing. Uber is utilizing a fleet of modified Ford Fusions. Earlier this year in April, the automaker announced a partnership with Google, Lyft, Uber, and Volvo to develop autonomous cars. A new facility in Detroit would strengthen the partnership and help Uber, as well as Ford put autonomous vehicles on the road faster.

Woodward Dream Cruise Photo Gallery | Classics and American muscle
Sun, Aug 21 2022The 2022 running of the Woodward Dream Cruise just went down, and we were there from morning to evening drinking in the sweet sights and pre-emissions exhaust fumes. Yes, it’s a little smelly on Woodward Ave. this time of year. Just like always, the Dream Cruise invites all comers to cruise their machines on Woodward from Ferndale, MI to Pontiac, MI. Everybody is invited, but the original intent of the Dream Cruise was to highlight classic American muscle cars. YouÂ’ll see plenty of those in our mega gallery above, but weÂ’ve sprinkled it with a bunch of other vehicle types, such as modern muscle and other intriguing American vehicles. Similar to years past, though, sometimes the classics arenÂ’t the most entertaining thing to look at on Woodward. ThatÂ’s why weÂ’ll have other mega galleries coming soon, highlighting the weird cars and (great) dogs of the Cruise, all the imports and exotics you can imagine and a special one for all the trucks of Woodward — perhaps even more so than in years past, the truck population on Dream Cruise day was quite high. Click through above to see all the classics you wouldÂ’ve seen had you been roadside on the day of the cruise. And if you missed this yearÂ’s event, make sure you check out what happens next year. You wonÂ’t be alone, as itÂ’s estimated that over 1 million people attend the Dream Cruise to either watch from the side of the road or to sit in the most glorious traffic jam in the world.

Transit Courier completes Ford's new commercial van line, will we get it?
Sat, 13 Apr 2013This week Ford rolled out the 2014 Transit Courier, the fourth addition to its Transit range. Ford says its the first time for the nameplate in the compact van segment.
"Ford has now completely transformed its commercial vehicle line-up, with four all-new, class-leading Transits for European customers," said Barb Samardzich, vice president of product development for Ford Europe. "With the all-new Transit range, we expect sales to grow to 400,000 units per year by 2016, well over 50 percent more than we sell today."
