York, Nebraska, United States

This is a true garage find I ran across. It's a rare 1976 Ford Early Bronco Bicentennial 4x4 with the Ranger trim package. Powered by the a 302 V8, Automatic Transmission, Power Steering, Lockout hubs, Original hubcaps & wheels, Roll bar, Chrome trim package, Even the smog pump is still there and works!!! This Bronco was purchased new in Omaha Nebr., from Markle Ford that is still in business today. This is a One family owned bronco that the original owner passed away and was given to his brother who I purchased it from. I was going to keep this one for myself but have decided to finish the 1968 that I already started redoing.  I was told it was repainted back some time in the 80's. Very little rust for a bronco of this era. Mostly bubbling in spots but if you know these early broncos its expected. The Bronco runs & drives good but the tires are old & cracked. The dash pad is nice with no crack as is the seats & carpet that is just faded some over is life & dirty from long term storage. All the lights seem to work as does the gauges other than the temp gauge. Speedo works fine also. All the glass is good, the horn works, as do the wipers. The dual fuel tanks both seem to work but the fuel gauge works only part time. Good tight power steering & good brakes. You are looking at it just as I did when it was pulled from the garage. I did put some wax on the left front fender & the upper left door just to see how it would clean up. It looks like with a good detail you will have a very nice driver quality Bronco. It was lasted tagged in 1988. No major oil leaks, just seeping from age. I'm just going to offer it up as it sits before I have it detailed so everyone can see it as I purchased it. If you have questions call Mike at 402-362-7938. These Broncos are getting hard to find in this Original uncut condition. This one deserves a good home not to be made into a rock crawler or mud racer. Thanks for looking & HAPPY BIDDING!!!!

1976 was the second year for the unleaded fuel powered broncos so you don't have to worry about fuel issues. The exhaust still retains the cat also. I've already had several questions about a Buy it now price. I'm going to let everyone have a chance at owning this Bronco so the auction will go to the end unless I get an offer that will work for me and the new owner. If you want it you will need to bid or call me and make a good offer. I reserve to end the auction in case of the right offer comes in. Thanks, Mike.

The Bronco has met the reserve so I will not be ending the auction early now for any reason. You will have to enter a bid on it if you want it so don't miss out!!!! Thanks to all bidders and someone is going to get a rare Bronco. Thanks again, Mike.

Time to catch up with Jay Leno's Garage, including his Lamborghini Espada restoration

Tue, Dec 23 2014

If you're already jealous of the time, effort and money that Jay Leno can devote to his massive car collection, prepare to get a little greener with envy with this latest video from Jay Leno's Garage. Instead of the usual format of discussing a model for about ten minutes and then taking it out for a test drive, this week Leno gives viewers on a tour of over a dozen projects concurrently happening in his stable. The breadth of the vehicles shown and the things being done to them run the entire span of the automotive hobby. At the same time, Jay's shop is working on just a simple restoration of his 1969 Lamborghini Espada (pictured), and at the other side of the building, the team is rebuilding a wood-bodied 1914 Detroit Electric from scratch. He eventually plans to slot a more modern electric drivetrain into it. If bikes are more your interest, there's a freshly completed Brough Superior just waiting for a ride, and if American models are your thing, a Ford Bronco is getting a Coyote V8 installed into it. You have some very specific tastes if you can't watch this clip and start wishing at least one of these vehicles could be in your own garage. Other than the personal projects his mechanics are working on in the shop, Jay gets to have them all, plus plenty more.

Ford pulls official support from top-level NHRA teams

Sun, 11 Aug 2013

As the smallest team in the sport, it wasn't really a surprise when Dodge decided to pull out of NASCAR, but Autoweek is reporting that Ford is looking to pull the plug on its professional-level NHRA sponsorships following the 2014 season. With attendance and television ratings down, the article reports that Ford is just backing out of the top series but will remain active in the Sportsman classes of racing, which are geared more toward the grassroots and semi-professional racers.
This means that one of drag racing's biggest names, John Force, will be left looking for new sponsorship after next season. Force, 64, has been with Ford for 17 years, winning 15 championships in that time and winning almost half of all Funny Car events in his Mustang since he started working with Ford in 1997, but after 2014, there could be some big shakeups at John Force Racing.
According to the report, Force would consider is moving over to the Top Fuel dragster series, although he could also move to another manufacturer to remain in the Funny Car series. With Ford on the way out, this leaves just Toyota and Dodge as the remaining active automakers in the highest levels of drag racing.

Ford forced to recall Escape over fire risk yet again

Tue, 26 Nov 2013

Recalls happen. Automakers hope they won't, but they do. And that's alright, for the most part, because cars are designed (and to a large degree still made) by humans, and humans make mistakes. So we forgive them, as long as the problem is resolved. Only in the case of the Ford Escape, the problem seems to keep coming back.
That's why Ford is calling in the Escape yet again due to fire concerns. The issue revolves around problematic fuel lines in 9,469 units manufactured between October 5, 2011, and July 11, 2012, all of which use the 1.6-liter EcoBoost inline four-cylinder engine.
As you yourself may recall, the Escape was subject to a string of recalls last year that resulted in a $17 million fine. One of them was over this very same issue, which Ford apparently didn't rectify the first time around. Let's hope this time is the last time.
