1974 Ford Bronco Explorer on 2040-cars
Scottsdale, Arizona, United States
1974 Ford Bronco 4X4 Ranger
This Bronco is claimed to be a one family owned vehicle that has spent almost it's entire life in northern Arizona. It was purchased new as a motor home tow-behind and was used for that purpose from new until 2011. It then went to Southern California where it had a carburetor fire in mid 2012 and was brought back to Arizona at that time. After repairing the wiring that was damaged and replacing the carburetor the vehicle is a runner-driver again. Much of the under hood plastic was damaged or deformed by the carb fire. An original 302 V8 with automatic vehicle with part time 4 wheel drive with warn hubs, the engine runs well- no ticking or knocking- and the trans shifts tight and smooth. It does leak oil. The transfer case and hubs seem to work well and both axles appear to be in good shape. The body is original and uncut with some dents and possible partial paint work in different areas- most notable being the right front fender damage. Most of the paint and trim appear to be original and the top does not look like it ever came off the vehicle. It has the Explorer option with chrome bumpers and trim as well as power steering, but no power brakes. It looks to have the original interior- with original rear seat- that needs to be redone, and it will need the windshield replaced. The only rust indicated is minor bubbling on the inner wheel housings under the hood on both sides and the under hood vent intake on passenger's side (see pics). Floors, rockers-virtually everything else looks to be rust free. All in all, a great original example for a restoration or just shape up what is here and use it as an original. The vehicle is listed for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. It is also available for inspection locally in Phoenix, Arizona. Please contact me to schedule an inspection or if you need any additional pictures or information. Thanks for looking, and happy bidding! |

Texas plumber shocked his old Ford F-250 is now in terrorists' hands [w/video]
Thu, Dec 18 2014Do you ever wonder what the a owner is doing with your vehicle after you trade it in? Mark Oberholtzer of Mark-1 Plumbing in Texas City, TX, has no need to imagine, but it's probably his worst nightmare. That's because an image of his old Ford F-250 is now on Twitter as a gun platform in the Syrian Civil War. While the image only appeared recently, Oberholtzer traded the truck in last November. Somehow since then the F-250 made its way from Texas to Syria. According to a report from television station WHOU, the dealer that took the trade said the pickup immediately went to auction. Unfortunately, along the whole route no one ever took Mark-1 Plumbing's name and phone number off the door. So when the image went up on Twitter, everyone knew whom the Ford previously belonged to. The plumbing company makes it abundantly clear that this whole bizarre situation is simply a coincidence, and it has absolutely no ties to the conflict in Syria. However, that isn't preventing people from phoning the business with angry calls and threats. Things are so bad that Oberholtzer keeps the phones unplugged for relief. Scroll down to watch a video of the guy's flabbergasted reaction to finding out what his F-250 is doing now. This content is hosted by a third party.

Ford invests $682 million in Edge-producing Canadian facility
Sun, 22 Sep 2013Ford announced that it's investing $682 million in its Oakville assembly plant in Ontario, Canada, to make it a global manufacturing plant, which the automaker also says secures 2,800 jobs there. Including this injection of cash, Ford has invested over $2 billion in Canada in the last decade, starting with nearly $1 billion for Oakville in 2004, and over $570 million for its Essex Engine Plant in 2010.
The move to make Oakville a global manufacturer of Ford vehicles means, "If consumers suddenly shift their buying habits, we can seamlessly change our production mix without having to idle a plant," says Joe Hinrichs, Ford's president of the Americas.
Ford says that the latest investment will help it meet North American demand for the Oakville-produced Edge crossover, which is on track this year to beat 2007's US sales record of 130,000 Edges. The Ford Flex and Lincoln MKX and MKT are also manufactured at the plant.
