1975 Ford Bronco "ranger Package" Automatic on 2040-cars
Boise, Idaho, United States
Up for auction is my father and I's 1975 Ford Bronco equipped with the "Ranger" package. This Bronco is in exceptional shape. It runs and drives very very well. I have owned and been associated with quite a few Bronco's in my day and I have to say that this Bronco by far drives the best of all of them. It is truly a turn key vehicle. It drives like a luxury car. Very smooth and responsive. I would take this on a long distance trip without hesitation. I will describe the vehicle to the best of my ability. This Bronco was bought and sold in Boise Idaho. It has been here it's whole life. It has had 2 owners. It has had 1 paint job in the mid eighties. painted the same color as original. The truck has never been wrecked and outside of some surface rust on the body, the truck is free of rust. This means that the rockers, floors, tunnel, wheel wells,"A" pillars, etc are all free of rust. The rust is limited to pitting in a few of the seems of the outside of the body. Those of you who know theses broncos know that this is somewhat rare to see. These things are known for being rust buckets. So when you find one free of rust and an automatic with all the goodies, you know you have found a good one. The interior is all original with the exception of high back buckets that were put in some 15 years ago. All of the seats were covered the same and they match very well. The truck continues to have its original drive train. Everything works very well. The motor runs great with no smoking or signs of wear. The c4 automatic trans shifts and drives the truck great. Power brakes work very well and the power steering turns the truck nicely. This truck is Very easy to drive. All of the suspension is original to the truck and drives straight down the road. The tires are 5 years old on this truck. They have another 5 years left in them and they are worn very evenly on all four corners, which speaks of how well aligned the truck is. The truck is equipped with a Dana 44 front end and the 4wd work well in the truck. The underneath of the truck has the normal road dirt on it but nothing out of the ordinary. The truck has dual exhaust that sounds great when driving down the road. The truck additionally has electric wipers and is equipped with an intermittent wiper module that makes the wipers easier to use of course. The broncos gauges and various dials etc work very well. The heater gets the truck very warm inside and adjusts well to lower temps as you need it. Defrost works well to. The bronco is equipped with a center console that is very functional and useful to the driver. Inside the glove compartment is the original ID tag that has all of the truck "as built" info to it. The truck remains original to the build plate of the truck. I provided a picture of the tag and will decode if you need info. All interior lighting works well to. Overall the interior is in very nice shape with no visible rips or tears to the carpet or upholstery. For being mostly original it is nice. The top even has a descent headliner in it. Helps keep the noise down. The truck is also equipped with a CD player and some nice descent speakers in the front and back. The stereo also will play MP3. As mentioned before the truck has had one paint job on it in the mid eighties. It was painted the same color as original. The color is ford Tangerine. The paint is quite nice for being 20 plus years old. All of the ranger trim on the body is quite nice, very good driver quality. The rear fender flares were done with the last paint job. The idea was to put bigger tires on the truck as most everyone does. The truck also has the dealer optioned roof rack which ads some class to this Bronco in my opinion. All of the panels for the most part are nice and straight with the little bit of panel waver here and there. Overall a very straight truck as you can see in the pictures. An interesting bit of info about the truck. It has been said that the top has only been off of the truck 3 times in its life. twice by the original owner and once buy the current. The top has not been off of the truck since 1993 best we can guess. The top area of the body is nice and has preserved very well where the top and body meet. When you drive the truck you can tell that the top is mounted quite securely. Overall the body is very nice. All of the weather stripping is in nice shape and the doors open and close very nicely. No road noise when you drive down the road with the exception of the back glass if you don't shut the lift gate completely securely. Again, very comfortable to drive. Overall, this 75 Bronco well optioned with the "Ranger" package is a very nice functional truck. Given the condition of the truck with its 302 and automatic transmission add to that power brakes and power steering, I don't think someone could go wrong. This truck still has many years of life left in her and we would love it to go to a good home with an owner that appreciates the rare original condition of this truck. I would say that this is a great truck to restore but it is really very very nice the way that it is. Up to the new owner to decide that, but rest assured the truck is a great one at this point as well. Please bid with confidence at the quality of vehicle you will get for your money. Now for the stipulation stuff. Please bid if you plan on following thru with your commitment. This truck will be listed in other areas so I do reserve the right to sell elsewhere and end the auction early. Please feel free to ask all the questions that you need to and I will get you anything I can to keep you at ease with your bid. Happy Bidding!!!! |

Ford auctioning off F-35-themed 2015 Mustang for charity
Wed, 16 Jul 2014Ford's been a supporter of EAA AirVenture, a huge, annual air show held in Oshkosh, WI, for several years now, with one of its most notable contributions being a modified Ford Mustang, designed to look like one of America's great fighting aircraft. There was an SR-71 Mustang, based on the legendary spy plane, a Red Tails edition, which honored the ground-breaking Tuskegee Airmen of World War II, as well as Blue Angels and Thunderbird Mustangs, based on America's two great military aerial demonstration teams.
Each car is auctioned off, with all proceeds going to the EAA Young Eagles program, which introduces kids to the joy of flight. For the 2014 AirVenture, which runs from July 28 to August 3, the one-off pony car is based on the new-for-2015 Mustang, and America's latest fighting aircraft - the controversial F-35 Lightning II.
The unique Mustang sports titanium paint scheme, with both glossy and matte sections, as well as yellow-and-blue trim and decal elements inspired by CF-1, the first F-35 test plane. A carbon-fiber front splitter and rear diffuser add some visual eye candy, while the interior boasts a set of Recaro seats. Ford also opted to fit unique wheels and a brawnier rear spoiler, to tie everything together.
Bill Ford augments his power by nearly doubling stake of supervoting shares
Fri, 28 Jun 2013Bill Ford Jr. has more sway than ever over the automaker that bears his surname, as the great-grandson of Ford's founder has reportedly doubled is holdings of Class B Ford stock. According to a report from Reuters (which cites a newly discovered securities filing), he acquired some 3.7 million Class B shares from an unnamed family member.
Class B shares of Ford stock are held by descendants of Henry Ford and offer expanded voting power to their holders - Bill Ford Jr. now controls roughly 11.5 percent of the total Class B pool. Ford Jr. is also a one of five trustees that manage a voting trust that oversees the majority of these "supervoting" shares. In total, Reuters reports there are 71 million Class B shares that account for 40 percent of the voting power in the company, despite making up just 2 percent of the total volume of all Ford stock.
Ford Jr. served as Ford's CEO until 2006, when he stepped down to hire and make space for current CEO, Alan Mulally. The move to consolidate Ford family voting power, at least somewhat, is seen by many as a comforting sign with Mulally's departure from the company likely to happen in the next several years.
NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder
Fri, 11 Jul 2014There may be more steering woes for the Ford Crown Victoria. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation into the Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis from the 2004 to 2007 model years and the Mercury Marauder for the 2004 and 2005 model years because the steering shaft can jam. The issue could potentially affect an estimated 500,000 vehicles.
According to the regulator, there is a possibility that the driver's side heat shield for the exhaust manifold can rust, dislodge, and then wedge into the steering shaft. If this occurs, it leads to a situation where the driver can no longer control the car.
NHTSA has received five complaints of this happening, including one alleged case with an injury. In that situation, the car was driving onto the highway, lost control and rolled over. One occupant was hurt in the accident.
