1975 Ford Bronco Barn Find on 2040-cars
Anderson, Alabama, United States
|
I have my barn find 75 ford bronco for sale, I don't know much about these trucks, I just knew I wanted one, so when I got the chance to buy one sitting in a shed for years, I jumped on it. I had hopes of restoring it, cleaned it up, bought parts, and...... haven't worked on it much since I got it (over a year ago), letting it take up space, so its time to turn it over to someone who will give it the love it deserves. I bought brake hardware kits and shoes for the front and rear, and one wheel cylinder for the front and one for the rear (all the parts house had at the time), new electric fuel pump (installed), & new bushwacker fender flares mounted (gaskets are included, but not installed). The interior is not in bad shape, the prior owner must have liked the wood grain door panels, but I also have what looks to be the original steel door panels. The seats have had vinyl dye sprayed on them, so they look newer than they are, and they are not mounted. It could use front floor pans if you were going to restore it, since the prior owner was apparently a master sheet metal worker and did any and all floor patches with galvanized sheet metal and painted it to match the rest of the interior. the glass is good, windows roll down, and the top can come off when unbolted. the motor did start, haven't tried to start it in a while, but the motor was real weak, didn't leak oil or smoke, but it was weak. it may have a popped out freeze plug, or a blown head gasket, because coolant leaks out soon after you put it in. I'm not sure what size motor it has, and I'm not sure how you could tell since there is so little room to look for codes under the hood. it does have dual gas tanks, and holds fuel in one of the tanks, haven't tried the other. I also have the rear tire carrier, but I don't think I have the hinge part that bolts to the body, and the front axle has manual hubs. feel free to ask me any questions, as I stated earlier, I don't know much about these trucks, this was my first and only one, but this one has plenty of character, and I haven't seen one like it before. bill of sale only, Alabama didn't require one on vehicles this old. but I do know that you can get a new title generated (at least here in Alabama) for $150. thank you for looking |

How Ford made its 2015 Ford Mustang safer for toupee wearers [w/video]
Fri, 28 Feb 2014Ford is ready to tell the story of its 2015 Mustang Convertible, the can't-miss bits being the easier, quicker and quieter roof operation, a more robust roof build for a coupe-like cabin noise, more trunk space, better visibility and reduced in-cabin buffeting. The top release system has been completely redesigned with a single, center-mounted latch on the windshield frame instead of the dual latches of before. The driver can now release the roof without having to lean over into the passenger space, after which the top goes down fully automatically with the press of a button. Ford doesn't say how long it takes to stow, but it's apparently done in half as much time as before, so figure around 8 seconds.
The roof uses a five-bow structure, with the fabric outer and full inner headliner sandwiching ten millimeters of insulation. Detailing work on the top has eliminated "unsightly folds" in the corners when the roof is up and made it more compact when down; its Z-fold assembly is 6.7 inches lower than before at its highest point when put down. Ford says the new electric drive internals make less noise when in operation, and the fully-finished droptop look is achieved with snap-in caps that flank the rear seating and stow in the trunk when not in use (the outgoing Mustang's top was higher and the front when folded and always looked like it was catching air and creating drag).
The compact roof and newly independent rear suspension setup in back means liberated trunk space, 11.4 cubic feet ready to swallow golf bags and tourist swag. You can read a lot more about it in the press release below, check it out in the short video of running footage and learn about the aerodynamic improvements made to the entire Mustang lineup that decrease drag and increase fuel economy.
Jay Leno and Lee Iacocca reflect on 50 years of Ford Mustang
Mon, 30 Dec 2013Lee Iacocca oversaw the birth of the Ford Mustang back in the 1960s, rocketing the new pony car nameplate into million-unit sales territory in its initial go-round and cementing its place in the history books. Thus, we were immediately drawn to this latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage, in which the funnyman hosts Iacocca for a look at the origins of Ford's most iconic sports car. The legendary auto exec is looking notably more frail than when we last saw him, but if we're being asked around as a video guest when we're 89 years old, we'll consider that evidence of a life well lived.
Serial No. 0001 is on hand for the occasion for Jay's romp through history, as is the historic Mustang 1 showcar from 1962. Of course, the all-new 2015 Ford Mustang GT (in prototype form) makes an appearance at the end of the episode with chief engineer Dave Pericak, as well. Get some, below.
2016 Ford Explorer configurator reveals $30,700* base price, Platinum starts at $52,600*
Wed, Nov 26 2014The a la carte menu for the 2016 Ford Explorer is ready for your... umm... exploring. The first page of the refreshed model's configurator reveals the lineup, including the new Platinum trim, and price increases for three of the carryover models. The base Explorer doesn't change by one red cent: it can still be had for $30,700. The XLT needs $33,400 (a $400 price bump), the Limited goes for $41,300 (a not insignificant $2,900 price increase), and the Sport requires $43,300 (a $200 increase). That new Platinum model goes where no Explorer MSRP has gone before, beginning at $52,600 (*all prices are subject to an $895 destination charge). However, since Ford has put almost everything in it, you can't jack the price up too much further unless you lose your mind in the accessories catalog. You can quickly head that way lower down the order, though. The Limited's price jump appears to be due to the voice-activated navigation system, which comes standard; it was formerly part of a $2,600 option package. The Limited goes up by just $995 when specced with the new 2.3-liter EcoBoost, which raises the power over the 2.0-liter EcoBoost it replaces to 270 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, but doesn't incur any fuel economy penalty. All-wheel drive tacks on another $2,000, safety features like active park assist and lane departure warning come as part of $3,000 Equipment Group A, and you'll still have another three pages of options to get through. On the other hand, if you just want to get your family bundle into an Explorer without spending a bundle, the base model doesn't offer any packages and only has one option over $200. Let the research begin.
