1974 Ford Bronco Ranger, All Original, Uncut Fenders, Rust Free, 200+ Photos on 2040-cars
Tempe, Arizona, United States
Up for auction is a super clean, rust free 1974 Ford Bronco with the coveted Ranger package, factory 302 V8, finished in Limestone Green Poly with green vinyl buckets with houndstooth inserts, rear bench. I was told I bought this from the second owner and the truck spent all of its days in Phoenix, AZ which appears to be accurate as indicated by the DSO 75 on the date plate. The rear fenders remain uncut from the factory. The driver and passenger floors are the cleanest original pans I have ever seen.
The clear Arizona title shows 79,278 miles and Box A which in Arizona indicates Original Mileage. However, the odometer shows 59,278 miles which seems to be a DMV mistake. The previous title was also a "Box A" actual miles so it is very likely this was a honest typo mistake by DMV. Either way I am disclosing it. The title is clear and in my name. The truck runs and drives but the fuel pump is disconnected from the fuel tanks and the previous owner disconnected the ignition wiring. In order to get it running I just replaced the following: master brake cylinder, wheels bearings, new carburetor, distributor cap, wires. I would recommend new fuel tanks, tune up, new motor mounts, transmission mount, and interior. The original interior is in original condition and is dry rotted. The dash pad is also in need of replacement and some attention to the ignition, headlights and other wiring is needed. With some work this would be a great fun daily driver or show truck restoration candidate. The old truck market is very hot right now, especially for early Bronco's. The Desert Southwest climate is perfect for these rust prone classics and this is a stunning example. Take a look at the pictures and you will see every detail. There is no rust on this truck besides surface rust, it is solid. I have left the truck in original condition without trying to clean and cover up anything, it is original and unrestored. If additional pictures are wanted please message me and I will do my best to respond quickly. I have a two post lift in my garage so if you want any detail pictures of the undercarriage that I have not included feel free to ask. I will be available this weekend for picture taking and out of town Thur-Fri next week. If you e-mail me through eBay and would like to talk over the phone please leave a number and I will call you. The truck is located at my home in Queen Creek, AZ but I can accommodate out of state buyers. My office is 15 minutes from Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport and I would be happy to pick you up at the airport and bring the Bronco to my office for inspection. I also have a lift at my office. I will also be glad to help with transportation. I have used Reliable Carriers and they are located close to my office in Tempe. I can drop at their terminal which usually saves you a hundred dollars versus a residential pickup. You may also call me with any questions. If I do not answer leave a message. Chris 480-213-2686 Good luck and happy bidding.

Ford Announces Four Recalls, 1.4M Vehicles Affected
Thu, May 29 2014Ford is taking a bit of the spotlight away from General Motors, announcing a major group of recall campaigns, covering a total of 1.4 million vehicles built between 2006 and 2013. Let's start with the big one, which covers the Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner and, according to The Detroit News, Ford-built Mazda Tribute CUVs. 915,216 vehicles are covered, all of which were built in model years 2008 to 2011. 736,000 vehicles are in the US, while Canada then Mexico make up the vast majority of the remainder. The problem is due to an issue with the torque sensor in the steering column, which could lead to sudden power steering failure. Manual steering would still be available, though. "Dealers will perform one of three service fixes, depending upon what diagnostic codes are shown when the vehicle is taken to the dealer," Ford spokeswoman Kelli Felker wrote to Autoblog in an email. "They will either update software for the power steering control module and the instrument cluster module; replace the torque sensor; or replace the steering column, which includes upgraded power steering control module software." The most recent generation of the Ford Explorer is suffering from a similar malady, thanks to an intermittent electrical connection (we think that means short circuit) in the steering column. Like the Escape and Mariner, manual steering would still be available in the event of a power failure. Ford will recall 195,527 examples of its Explorer, 177,500 of which are in the US. This recall covers model years 2011 to 2013. According to Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has stated that Ford will inform owners of affected vehicles by July 25. Ford is also recalling 200,000 Taurus sedans, over a corrosion issue in the license plate lamp. This particular recall, which covers vehicles from model years 2010 to 2014, is limited to drivers in northern climes. Vehicle owners in southern states are free to pass on the recall. Finally, 82,576 Fusion, Mercury Milan and Lincoln Zephyr/MKZ sedans from 2006 to 2011 are being recalled because of floormats that can interfere with the accelerator pedal. Dealers will replace the offensive floormats with newer examples. "Ford is committed to providing our customers with top quality vehicles. We are equally committed to addressing potential issues and responding quickly for our customers," Felker wrote.
Consumer Reports declares most and least loved cars [w/video]
Wed, Dec 3 2014Consumer Reports is crunching the numbers from its annual owner-satisfaction survey, and part of that process is finding out how attached drivers are to their cars. CR simply asks readers of models up to three years old if they would buy the same vehicle again in light of their entire ownership experience, and tallies the results. After looking at the responses for about 350,000 vehicles, it turns out that people really love a certain California-built, electrically powered luxury sedan. That's right, this year's the overall winner was the Tesla Model S with a whopping 98 percent of owners saying they would purchase another one (the Model S also won this award last year, with 99 percent satisfaction). The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray came in a close second with 95 percent of drivers hoping to park another one in their garage. A few models weren't quite so favored, though. The Nissan Versa Sedan was the least loved model among its owners; a mere 42 percent said that they would purchase another. The aging Jeep Compass didn't do much better, with just 43 percent of drivers willing to buy the softroader again. On average, about 70 percent of owners say they would buy their car again, and only four cars ranked below 50 percent in CR's findings. Check out the video above to see some of the winners and losers in a few of CR's categories. If you're a subscriber, you can check out the full list on its website.

2013 Ford Explorer Sport
Thu, 04 Apr 2013When one speaks of sporty and fun-to-drive utility vehicles, few would put the Ford Explorer in the same category as the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, BMW X5 or Porsche Cayenne. Yet, with just a few reservations, I'd toss the new-for-2013 Ford Explorer Sport close to that arena for consideration.
As a recap, the sportiest of Explorers is fitted with Ford's twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter Ecoboost V6, making 365 horsepower and 350 pound feet of torque. Acceleration is brisk (figure about 7 seconds to 60 miles per hour), as power goes to all four wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission. Contributing to its more athletic demeanor are larger front brakes, a sport-tuned suspension, chassis upgrades, quicker steering ratio and a more aggressive wheel/tire package. Cosmetically, the Sport is distinguished by its blacked-out lights, black trim and noticeable lack of chrome (with the exception of the door handles).
Ford recently handed me the keys to a Ruby Red Metallic Explorer Sport. Rather than mindlessly drive the big seven-passenger all-wheel drive hauler in soccer mom circles around Los Angeles, I loaded up my family and embarked on a long weekend road trip to Yosemite National Park.
