Location:

HERE WE GO WITH YET ANOTHER GREAT LITTLE 1976 BRONK. WE DID A YOU TUBE MOVIE TITLED  76 BRONCO EM2"BIG BLUE" THIS ONE WAS OWNED BY THE SAME FASTIDIOUS OWNER FOR OVER 22 YEARS. GARAGE KEPT MOST OF IT'S EXISTENCE. THERE ARE NO RUSTED PANELS ON THIS BRONCO....PERIOD! WE HAVE NEVER SEEN A BODY THIS RUST FREE ON AN EARLY FORD BRONCO. EVEN THE INNER FENDERS ARE SPORTING ORIGINAL FACTORY PAINT!!. WOW. WE HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT BRONKS FOR THE LAST 12 YEARS AND HAVE YET TO FIND AN UNRESTORED BRONCO THIS RUST FREE AND MECHANICALLY SOUND. WE HAVE THE RECEIPTS FOR THE NEW LONG BLOCK THAT HAS AROUND 2800 MILES ON IT SINCE INSTALLATION. THE TRANS IS PERFECT AND THE TRANSFER CASE AND DIFFERENTIALS ARE NOISELESS IN 2 OR 4 WHEEL DRIVE. THE ENTIRE BRONCO OPERATES AS FORD INTENDED KEEPING IN MIND TECHNOLOGY FROM 1976. LOL
                              THE NEW MOTOR(LONG BLOCK) WAS FITTED WITH AN EDELBROCK 1406 4 BARREL, ALUMINUM DUAL PLANE HIGH RISE INTAKE, HEADERS, DURASPARK IGNITION, NEW WATER PUMP, BELTS, N HOSES. THE RADIATOR IS FLUSHED AND GOOD TO -50. THE BRONCO RUNS DOWN THE ROAD AT 180 DEGREES AND 65 LBS OIL PRESSURE. THERE ARE ZERO LEAKS ON THE SHOP FLOOR! THE BRAKES ARE NEW 11" REAR DRUM AND IN 1976 THEY USED THE BIG DANA 44 AND  FORD TRUCK DISC BRAKES. THE BRONK STOPS RIGHT NOW! THE STEERING IS THE QUICKER RATIO FORD IN 1976. BOTH FUEL TANKS WORK AS DESIGNED AND THE FUEL GAUGE WORKS. EVERYHTHING IS FULLY FUNCTIONAL ELECTRICALLY EXCEPT THE BACKUP LIGHTS. THEY DO NOT HAVE A SWITCH ON THE 4 SPEED AND THE LINKAGE IS INTEGRAL. THE REST IS EXCEPTIONAL. THIS BRONCO STARTS IMMEDIATELY, RUNS VERY WELL, HAS A NEW CENTERFORCE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY AND NEEDS NOTHING!! THE EXHAUST IS DUAL FLOWMASTER WITH TWIN CATS AND CROSSOVER. IT SOUNDS AMAZING. IF I WERE TO KEEP A BRONK FOR MYSELF THIS WOULD PROBABLY BE THE ONE.  AFTER I GET A FEW MORE MUSCLE CARS OUT OF THE CORRAL I WILL BREAK A BRONK FOR MYSELF. IT'S GONNA BE WILD FOLKS!

THERE ARE A GAZILLION GOOD THINGS ABOUT THIS BRONK AND A FEW BAD THINGS.WHEN WE TOOK THE ORIGINAL DOOR PANELS OFF, WE LUBRICATED THE GLASS REGULATORS AND WERE ASTONISHED THAT THE WINDOW HAD NEVER BEEN WORKED ON AND IS AS SMOOTH AS BUTTER. EVEN THE FACTORY SOUND PROOFING PAPER WAS INTACT. I CAN FIND NONE BETTER THAN THIS REGARDLESS IF THEY ARE RESTORED OR NOT.

FOR THE BAD:  BIG BLUE IS NOT A SHOW RIG YET, IT NEEDS A PAINT JOB AND SOME VERY MINOR BODY WORK ON THE PASSENGER REAR QUARTER NEAR THE MARKER LIGHT. IT DOES NOT NEED ANY RUST REPAIR ,PERIOD!!  THE PAINT IS 23 + YEARS OLD.IT ALSO HAS NO BACKUP LIGHT SWITCH. THE TIRES ARE NOT NEW BUT HAVE TONS OF TREAD YET AND SHOW NO CRACKING ON THE SIDEWALLS SO THEY ARE KEEPERS FOR NOW. THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL 3/8" ANTENNA HOLE ON THE TOP OF THE PASSENGER FENDER WHERE AN ANTENNA WAS AT ONE TIME AND A GROUP OF THREE PLUGGED HOLES(APPRENTICE PLUGS) AT THE REAR QUARTER EXTENSIONS WHERE A DIFFERENT RACK WAS INSTALLED YEARS AGO. ALL IN ALL A SUPER START ON A 40 K BRONK THAT I WOULD NOT HESITATE TO DRIVE TO NY AND BACK IN ANY SEASON....JUST ADD PAINT! A NEW  BLACK BEST TOP SOFT TOP CAN BE INSTALLED IN LIEU OF THE HARDTOP AT NO ADDITIONAL COST TO BUYER AND WE KEEP THE HARD TOP.IF THE BUYER WANTS BOTH TOPS ADD $750.00..

Ford's Galhotra succeeds Farley as head of Lincoln

Wed, 23 Jul 2014

Ford Motor Company is announcing a major personnel shakeup that could have a dramatic effect on the future of the Lincoln division. Kumar Galhotra (pictured above), currently vice president of engineering at Ford for all of its vehicles worldwide, is taking over as the president of the luxury brand on September 1, replacing Jim Farley. The automaker is also hiring a new head of advanced engineering.
Galhotra has a huge job ahead of him as the new boss of Lincoln worldwide, overseeing product development, marketing, sales and service. His task is to turn the luxury division into a world-class brand as quickly as possible, and he reports directly to Ford President and CEO Mark Fields.
"These changes underscore our commitment to build on the success of our One Ford plan by accelerating our pace of progress. They also make clear we are serious about Lincoln as a world-class luxury brand and that product excellence and innovation are what will deliver growth and define our entire company going forward," said Fields in the company's announcement.

Forza Horizon 3 adds Ford Police Interceptor, Jeep CJ5

Tue, Oct 4 2016

We're only a few weeks past the debut of Forza Horizon 3, and already the folks at Turn 10 are introducing the first of six car packs for the open-world driving game. Focused heavily on performance, there are still a few, um, oddballs, including one we're sure Forza's livery customizers will have a blast with. The Smoking Tire Car Pack brings seven new vehicles to FH3, with the Aston Martin Vulcan, Pagani Huayra BC, GTA Spano, Lotus 340R, and BMW M2 repping traditional performance vehicles. As per usual, FH3 renders each car beautifully and promises a solid approximation of real-world performance – even if you do ditch the roads and opt to rampage through the Australian countryside. While performance is good, the Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor and the Jeep CJ5 Renegade bring an off-beat vibe to this particular pack. We aren't certain, but this might be the first time the Police Interceptor appears in a blockbuster driving game. While we expect plenty of police car liveries for the Crown Vic, Forza's rabid community of tuners and customizers are sure to do much more with it. As for the CJ5, is there a better vehicle for tooling about Australia? Yeah, we didn't think so. The Smoking Tire Car Pack is available for free as part of the Forza Horizon 3 Ultimate Edition or Car Pass program. Commitment-phobes can also download this single vehicle pack for $7.

Watch Ken Block's scary Rally America crash from inside the cockpit

Wed, 19 Feb 2014

Ken Block became famous for his series of Gymkhana videos, but he's a real racer in his own right. Block has competed many rounds in the FIA World Rally Championship and also rallied in the 2013 Rally America series. He nearly won that latter title last year - if not for a massive crash in the final event of the season.
Block and his co-driver Alex Gelsomino went into the Lake Superior Performance Rally needing a win to take the championship. However, missing a clump of dirt on the side of the road and one little word in the pace notes was all it took to catapult Block's Fiesta off the road and into a tumbling accident. Block says his initial reaction was anger because the crash came out of nowhere.
For 2014, Block is joining the FIA World Rallycross Championship for at least three rounds. He'll drive a Ford Fiesta for the Hoonigan Racing Division at the Norwegian, French and Turkish events of the 12-round championship. Former Formula One World Champion Jacques Villeneuve will also compete in the series.
