There isn't much to say about this truck but WOW. This is an original 1974 Bronco, not a restoration project. What you are looking at is exactly what left the factory in 1974 plus a lot of great upgrades. To build this truck as it is setup would run you well north of 45k if you could find a specimen this nice to start with. The owner is realizing he has a few too many toys and some of them need to go, he is also the owner of an excavating company and he knows how to treat his fleet. The pics speak for themselves. This Bronco rarely sees daylight, it is driven and shown a few times annually. I am helping to sell it, the owner is a very good friend of mine.

So what you have here is an original 1974 Bronco Ranger Edition. The body is rust free, there is one small spot of surface imperfection under the paint as seen in the pics. There is one small ding on the LR corner and  molding as seen (we are not sure when or how it happened but I don't like surprises when picking something up so it is pointed out.) This is the original interior fabric and carpet.
The original unmolested 302 still sits proudly under the hood, it now has a HEI electronic ignition. The hood was professionally reconfigured to accommodate the taller more reliable distributor. Standard 3 speed (on the tree) has never been touched other than oil service and shifts like the day it was purchased. Limited slip front and rear axles.
Vehicle is OIL UNDERCOATED (HEAVILY)

New Clutch w/ 19 finger modern pressure plate with disc flywheel and throw out bearing were installed (NICE)
Factory steering gearbox was replaced with 3:1 ratio.
Rancho Steering Dampener and Front Springs
New Rear Shocks
US Wheel Chrome Spoked wheels with BF Groodrich Radial T/A (Like New)

Roll Bar and 3 point seat belts were added
Class 3 Receiver W/Hitch and Wiring installed (I don't think it's been used)

New C bushings and alaignment
New Flowmaster Dual Exhaust
Duff 2 inch Lift
ClassisAir  A/C professionally installed 
Factory Dual Fuel Tanks with Skid Plates 
Aftermarket AM/FM Clarion Cassette

Custom Steering Wheel

This Bronco is very well documented with ultra low mileage. Current Owner is the 4th owner, we have the original window sticker, owner's manual, brochure, sales invoice, registration, original title and many other related documents.
This Bronco is a very rare find in this condition. The vehicle is sold as is with no warranty but I can tell you this truck runs and drives as nice as it looks it is a real piece of American History and a treasure for a Ford Collector or enthusiast. The current owner has over 33k invested in this truck, the reserve will reflect that. Please no low ball offers, we are not desperate to move it . The truck is for sale locally and via other venues so this listing could end without notice. If you want to make a reasonable offer send it, the worst we can say is no.
All standard equipment parts  removed are included with the sale. The only thing we do not have are the stock wheels but we do have the original hub caps (not reproductions). The truck currently sits in it's stable in Castleton Vermont and can be seen by prearranged appointment. We would love to show it, please let us know if you are interested.
I would not hesitate to drive it home regardless of where home is. We will be happy to help with shipping or Export. We can also help with transportation to or from a nearby airport, however anything beyond the sale price of the vehicle is the responsibility of the buyer.
 
A 500 Dollar non refundable deposit is due within 24 hours of the sale. Completion and payment in Cash or Certified Funds is expected within 10 days of purchase.

I have provided the most accurate description I can and provided great pictures but remember this is a 40 year old vehicle. What you see is what you are buying there will be no surprises when you come to pick it up.
THIS VEHICLE IS SOLD AS IS WITHOUT WARRANTY.

2015 Ford Mustang option prices gallop onto the web

Tue, 22 Apr 2014

The 2015 Ford Mustang is one of the most anticipated cars of the year, despite the fact that production hasn't yet begun. What's a pony car fan to do? It turns out that Ford already has pricing and options information about the vehicle in its dealer ordering system. A few enterprising folks have snapped some pictures from it and have posted them online. You might not be able to drive your car yet, but you can at least see what it might cost.
At the moment, Ford appears to be splitting the Mustang into five models - 3.7-liter V6, 2.3-liter EcoBoost, GT with the 5.0-liter V8, 50th Anniversary and SVT. There are 10 available paint colors, 2 of which require an extra outlay. Triple Yellow is $495, and Ruby Red Tint is $395. Regardless of model, navigation goes for $795, and reverse parking assist is $295.
For both the EcoBoost and GT, the six-speed automatic tacks an extra $1,195 to the sticker, and adaptive cruise control is the same price. The GT also has a limited-slip 3.55 rear end for $395 and a GT Performance package for $2,495. Recaro leather seats add an extra $1,595. For the EcoBoost, there's something called EcoBoost Performance package for $1,995. The system doesn't say what the packages include.

Preserving automotive history costs big bucks

Wed, 29 Jan 2014



$1.8 million is spent each year to maintain GM's fleet of 600 production and concept cars.
When at least two of the Detroit Three were on the verge of death a few years back, one of the tough questions that was asked of Ford, General Motors and Chrysler execs - outside of why execs were still taking private planes to meetings - was why each company maintained huge archives of old production and concept vehicles. GM, for example, had an 1,100-vehicle collection when talk of a federal bailout began.

Ford, Volvo top 2014 EyesOn Design awards

Fri, 17 Jan 2014

Each year at the Detroit Auto Show, the top vehicle designs are recognized with the prestigious EyesOn Design award for production and concept vehicles. This year, the 32 EyesOn Design judges (comprised of current and former vehicle designers including Chrysler designer and SRT president Ralph Gilles, Kia designer Peter Schreyer and retired General Motors designer Wayne Cherry) handed out three awards for the Best Concept Vehicle, Best Production Vehicle and Innovative Use of Color, Graphics, and Materials.
Beating out the Mercedes C-Class and Ford F-150, the 2015 Ford Mustang was named the Best Production Vehicle as the top auto show debut at this year's Detroit show. The 2014 Volvo Concept XC Coupe took home awards as the Best Concept Vehicle and for its Innovative Use of Color, Graphics and Materials.
Considering the Volvo's primer grey hue and subtle orange accents, it was a rather surprising winner for Innovative Use of Color, Graphics, and Materials over flashier concepts like the Toyota FT-1 and our Editors' Choice top pick, the Kia GT4 Stinger. Other vehicles in the running for the concept car award include the GT4 Stinger and Audi Allroad Shooting Brake
