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.

Ford evaluating new Fiesta RS?

Wed, 08 Jan 2014

Word coming in from across the pond has it that Ford is working on developing the business case to create a new Fiesta RS. The development is encouraged by the extremely positive reception the existing Fiesta ST has garnered to date, and the emergence of the above-pictured Fiesta RS WRC rally car, but it'll take more than goodwill to make a more extreme version a reality.
According to Auto Express, a new roadgoing Fiesta RS would almost certainly be based closely on the ST version, albeit with some vital differences. Its 1.6-liter turbo four would be increased from 180 horsepower to somewhere around 230 hp, and that powertrain would be accompanied by lightweight alloys inside blistered wheel arches, a stripped-out interior and possibly lightweight bodywork.
The vehicle's approval would reportedly require a strong business case in Europe, and not just in the UK where Ford hot hatches traditionally enjoy a strong following. It's unclear whether the Fiesta RS would potentially make the transatlantic voyage to American showrooms, but between it and the larger Focus RS, hopefully the Blue Oval wouldn't leave its home market out of the action altogether.

Ford Mustang GT Bi-Fuel CNG

Tue, 23 Jul 2013

Highly intrigued, we recently visited a Southern California Gas Company office to check out several hybrid vehicles promising something new. Unlike more commonplace gasoline-electric hybrids, we were there to evaluate innovative gasoline-compressed natural gas (CNG) hybrids - yes, they run on unleaded gasoline and compressed natural gas. According to the experts on hand, this arrangement delivers extended range and reduced emissions while chipping in with lower operating costs than pure-gasoline vehicles. There are advantages over its gasoline-electric counterparts, as well.
The program is part of a three-way collaboration between The Carlab, a Southern California-based automotive consulting firm, Landi Renzo USA, a company specializing in alternative fuel solutions, and America's Natural Gas Alliance, a group that promotes CNG. Long story short, the team has engineered a way to allow a modified internal combustion vehicle to seamlessly switch between two fuels (gasoline and CNG) with no driver intervention. In theory, and if it works as well as promised, it's a win-win for the vehicle owner and the environment.
Parked at the Gas Company office were six different gasoline-CNG hybrid vehicles. To demonstrate the technology's versatility (just about any gasoline vehicle may be modified) Carlab brought a varied assortment of bodystyles, each from a different automaker. After taking a quick glance at the half-dozen in the parking lot, we made a beeline for the performance-oriented Ford Mustang GT - a 2012 model - with the six-speed manual gearbox.

Lincoln recycling tree fibers into new MKX armrest

Thu, Feb 27 2014

Want to hug a tree, or at least a really small part of one. Then set your arm down on one of those armrests in the 2014 Lincoln MKX crossover. The US automaker is working with Weyerhaeuser and Johnson Controls on a tree-based, cellulose-reinforced polypropylene material used in the component that connects the armrest to the floor console, Wards Auto says. With properties similar to plastic, the tree-based material replaces fiberglass and is about six percent lighter. No big deal for now, but if the material starts getting used for things like battery trays and interior storage covers, that loss in weight may eventually start adding up enough to boost fuel economy a bit, providing a green double bonus. Lincoln parent Ford, which isn't saying how much more (or less?) it costs to use the new material, established its Biomaterials and Plastics Research team in 2001. In 2007, the company began using soy-based foam in car seats used for models such as the Lincoln Navigator and Ford Mustang and has since broadened biomaterials use to components like floormats and cupholder inserts. Ford also used recycled plastic bottles from the 2012 North America International Auto Show for seats in the Focus Electric.
