Here is your next classic Bronco. This truck exudes vintage charm in it's original trim however it has been significantly upgraded to be effortless for daily commutes and/or long trips.
The best features of this truck are:
Sounds right, runs right, tracks right, sits right!
Drives like a modern truck, not a 60's/70's truck.
Fuel injected motor starts right up, pulls strong, runs fantastic.
Cold a/c, comfortable seating, updated radio/cd.
Power steering, auto trans, front disc brakes
I've owned this truck for over ten years, much of the time as my primary vehicle. It started life as an Arizona truck and came from the factory very well optioned with:
302/auto trans, 4,900 GVW, limited slip rear, power steering, dual fuel tanks, remote driver mirror, passenger mirror, Ranger color/striping/brightwork spears.
Here's a list of some of the upgrades.
Engine/trans/driveline/mechanical:
The engine is a 1989 5.0 from a 31k mile Crown Vic (an old man's car that got rear-ended). Plus another 20k miles or so since installed in the Bronco. The timing cover forward is a serpentine belt setup from a 2000 Explorer including the a/c compressor. The rest of the a/c system is from Vintage Air. The engine and it's original ECM were installed and wired with care, including all necessary relays and circuit protection, by a mechanical engineer. This truck just starts right up every time with no pedal pumping and no choke to fiddle. Runs strong and clean. Has a catalytic converter and a SpinTech muffler. This gives it a nice low rumble without offending the neighbors. Original C4 works great, factory limited slip rear has been professionally rebuilt; chirps the tires as it should on sharp turns. Factory p/s gear has been professionally rebuilt. Truck tracks great, effortless around town or at highway speeds. Optima battery. Front brakes are C/K disc and rotor conversion with all rubber lines replaced with stainless steel for superior pedal feel.
Interior:
Tub and door panels were fully spray lined in white, modern seats installed with lumbar and headrest adjustment, custom dash accommodates a/c grills, Alpine speakers, Sony radio/cd garage, and upgraded fuse block. It has a locking Tuffy console, a factory rear seat (w/o armrests), intermittent wipers, two separate kill switches (very effective, hidden in plain view), rewired dash, remote control for the stereo, dash mounted high beam switch.
Exterior:
I wanted my Bronco to look unmolested. It has a very minor lift (about an inch, inch and a half) and upsized tires on stock rims with original caps. Stance is a personal thing, but I think this Bronco sits right. The tires are BF Goodrich All-terrain T/A with plenty of meat left (30x9.5-15). All doors/locks/windows work as they should. Doors close properly with no sag. Original Ranger colors and striping. Hood has hydraulic lifts instead of the prop rod. Wipers have been upgraded to Cherokee blades/refills. Factory dual tank setup replaced with a single 21 gallon tank. Headlights upgraded to halogen bulbs and reflectors with plastic reflector protectors; all on relays for superior lighting power. Paintwork is vintage with lots of patina. Slight variations in sheen and color indicate portions repainted over the years. Some crazing, some minor surface rust. Would benefit from a full cosmetic restoration, but in no way needs it. This truck presents great and is perfect for the collector who will DRIVE it. Lower quarters (just in the white band) have been professionally replaced with metal. The only notable rust is on the door bottoms (minor perforation on driver door inner edge) which could either be repaired or stabilized. Not causing any functional or aesthetic issues at this point. See close up photos. I personally love the worn paint where your left arm sits on the door top. It calls you to ride around town on a sunny Saturday and collect the waves, honks and thumbs-up. Undercarriage shows surface rust. Floorboards are all solid, rockers are solid. No issues.
Recently PA state inspected, good til 3/14.
The following are shortcomings a new owner would want to be aware of:
The high pressure fuel pump mounted on the frame rail makes a whine. It is a stock Ford unit (F-250, I think). Could be replaced or upgrade to in-tank. Or turn up the radio.
Passenger side window rolls up and down but is tight, probably from disuse.
Minor surface rust issues noted above. Overall, this is a nearly rust-free Arizona-raised truck.
Stereo "garage" door does not stay up on it's own. A brace or snugger pivots should address. A wedge in the linkage also works.
Original cardboard headliner is starting to sag a little (about an inch) at the seam.
Two very minor cracks in the otherwise excellent dash pad. See photo.
Swing-out tire carrier needs a new safety cable.
I am happy to show it, give test drives to you or your surrogate/agent, facilitate with your shipper and/or assist with fly-in/drive-out. We are 20 minutes from PHL, 90 minutes from Atlantic City Airport.
Please bid only if you intend to purchase; $1,500 non-refundable required within 24 hours of close of auction.
Reasonable reserve will not be revealed in fairness to all. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Ford has done it again. Like in April of 1964, there is once again an all-new Mustang Convertible sitting on the observation deck of New York City's Empire State Building. This has been in the making for a little while, with the first report that Ford would recreate the sky-high publicity stunt coming out a few weeks back.
The process of getting the Mustang up there wasn't exactly easy. A Troy, MI-based company chopped up the new droptop, a necessary evil to get the Mustang on the Empire State Building's only freight elevator that runs to the 86th floor observation deck. But it was slightly more involved than just taking the car apart. The company, DST, built a mockup of the ESB's freight elevators, and then practiced its cuts on a second pre-production Mustang Convertible (measure twice, cut once).
The result of all this work are the images you see above. Yes, sitting in the crisp, morning air of midtown Manhattan, over 1,000 feet up, is this brilliant, Triple Yellow Mustang. Take a look up top for our gallery of images from today's event. You can also scroll down for videos and images of the process leading up to the ESB debut.

The Ford Everest Concept SUV at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show shows the future of the Blue Oval's truck line in China. While a concept for now, we're told that JMC, Ford's Chinese joint-venture partner, will build a production version sometime in the near future.
With design from Ford's Asia Pacific design team, the handsome seven-passenger SUV shows off some very muscular styling with wraparound headlights that hook into the contours of the angular trapezoidal grille. The beltline rises up the body in the rear and makes the back appear higher than the front. The rear is made from hard, chiseled contours that give the truck a very tough look. The Everest looks ready for some rough roads.
Ford is keeping the interior and mechanical details about the Everest a secret for now, but the SUV is rumored to share some components with the overseas Ranger pickup. The company has no plans to sell the truck in North America. Scroll down to read the official announcement, including the few details on its production.

Between slow sales and a hefty price drop for its nearest rival, the Ford Focus Electric may be looking at a pretty substantial price cut. The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will drop the price of the all-electric by about $4,000 to $35,200 to be more competitive with the Nissan Leaf, which received a big price cut for 2013 down to $28,800.
Ford has already admitted to having low expectations for the car's sales and massive rebates were reported earlier in the year, but there is still no official word from Ford on this matter. The company's consumer site still lists the 2014 model's starting price as $39,200. In addition to the Leaf, the Focus Electric will also have to deal with the lower prices of smaller EVs including the Honda Fit EV, Fiat 500e and the Chevrolet Spark EV.
