FLAWLESS 1976 Ford Bronco Sport --Full Restoration -- This Bronco was taken down and built from the ground up. We spared no expense and built this Bronco to last. Everything on this Bronco is new Here is a short list of the major highlights. Power steering, power 4 wheel disc brakes, completely rebuilt motor, rebuilt automatic transmission, and rebuilt transfer case. The 302 motor was completely rebuilt and bored .30 over, with picture documentation, a slightly beefier cam was added for that low end torque and rumble sound. It has all new pistons, bearings, seals, gaskets, oil pump, fuel pump, water pump, alternator, thermostat, custom aluminum hoses, radiator fan, new Edelbrock chrome intake, Edelbrock 4 barrel chrome carburetor, chrome brake booster and master cylinder, new overflow, new battery, new radiator, new power steering lines, all new hoses, and the list goes on. The engine compartment was base coated and clear coated with the engine out with PPG paint and clear. The underside of the Bronco was sprayed with a undercoating for preservation. The Transmission and transfer case were both completely rebuilt by a professional transmission shop. Both axles were completely taken out, taken apart, treated with Ospho, primed, and painted with high end paint. While the front axle was apart we replaced seals, bushings, u-joints, fluid, drag arm bushings and new rotors, calipers, pads, and brake lines. The rear axle has new seals, rear disc brake conversion, and fluid. We ran all new brake lines with proportioning valve. Brand new 23 gal Sherman fuel tank, fuel sending unit, and 100% new fuel lines. We also replaced the front and rear drive shaft u-joints. The frame of the truck was sanded down with 100 grit, 220 grit and then finished with 320 grit sandpaper before we sprayed it with a 3M Under Paint for preservation. We installed all new body bushings bolts, lock washers and nuts. It has a nice 2 1/2 inch suspension lift with all new painted coil springs to match body of bronco, and Grade 8 bolts. Brand new shocks, steering stabilizer and boots, new bumpers were also installed. We installed Brand BF Goodrich AT's 33x12.50x15 tires sitting on brand new 15x10 American Racing Wheels that were static balanced with only inner weights installed. The inside of the Bronco was sanded down any metal that needed to be replaced was replaced, then it was sprayed with Ospho, then Rhino Lined for preservation and durability. The front and rear seats are original Bronco seats that we had re-cushioned and re-upholstered by a local custom upholstery shop. We also had them recover the dash pad with a high end very durable leather that just stands out and looks phenomenal. The dash was completely taken apart and painted Wimbledon White out of the vehicle then re-installed. We do not tape the dash off and paint it as the finish product is half baked and unprofessional. All light, turn signals, gauges function properly. All marker lights, headlights, bezels, grill chrome, and body chrome were installed brand new. We removed the old broken original steering wheel and installed a new Grant chrome and black steering wheel. We installed a weatherproof stereo and speakers for your enjoyment. The doors were taken apart and the panels were painted Wimbledon White and doors put together with all new door handles inside and out, new armrest, new mirrors, new door cups, new felt around windows, new door hinges and bolts. Stainless and grade 8 bolts were used wherever possible. All new complete weather seals were installed around the doors and inside the door window tracks and under the hard top. We also had the front windshield and gasket replaced. The outside of the truck was completely sanded down to bare metal, any and all rust was treated and fixed. We then primed the body and re-seam sealed all the seams on the truck and completely smoothed out the body to above original factory standards and then painted it sunburst copper using PPG paint and clear. Then the body was wet sanded from 1500, 2000, 2500 grit sandpaper then high speed buffed and polished to a beautiful finish. Their were (4) coats of clear coat put on this truck. The hard top was taken off sanded down prepped and treated for any rust, and painted satin black to match fender flares, using PPG paint. All new gaskets on hard top too. All paint was allowed to fully cure before the next step was done so we could get the best and long lasting paint job possible. We then decided to ad a very nice roll bar and a new bestop bikini top. This truck was very meticulously taken down and put back together properly. There are many more parts that were put on and more things that were done to this bronco that I can not put them all in the listing. We have pictures of this bronco taken down and put back together so you will see that we are not claiming anything that has not been done to this truck. We will put a few pictures in the listing but can send more upon request. We have been specializing in Broncos for many years now as a hobby.

Ford has announced that it is introducing "calibration updates designed to improve on-road fuel economy for owners of the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid, 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid and 2013 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid."
We can speculate that these changes are at least due in part to lawsuits over mileage claims of hybrid vehicles. The automaker is enhancing 2013 models starting in August by raising their electric cruising speed to 85 miles per hour from 62 mph, optimizing the use of active grille shutters and the climate control system, shortening the engine warm-up period by 50 percent and reducing electric fan speed to minimize the fan's energy consumption.
It bears mentioning that Ford is doing pretty well in the US electrified vehicle market this year. The company claims to have grown its share in the segment by 12 points to 16 percent while taking a high number of Toyota Prius trade-ins in the process. Conversely, Toyota has experienced a five-percent drop in new-Prius sales over the same period. Additionally, Ford states that it has increased its share of the US vehicle market by one percent this year, more than any full-line automaker.

The ongoing heavy-duty truck battle between Ford and Ram is showing no signs of slowing down. The Blue Oval is trying to remove at least one point of contention between the two brands by testing its 2015 F-450 Super Duty using the Society of Automotive Engineers J2807 towing standard, which Ram also uses. In the new evaluation, the F-450 is rated at a max towing capacity of 31,200 pounds. That's an identical amount as under Ford's own, previous test.
"We leave no doubt with customers that the F-450 pickup truck has best-in-class towing of 31,200 pounds - whether tested using our own internal towing standards or SAE J2807," said Raj Nair, Ford group vice president for Global Product Development, in the company's release.
At the same time, Ford is also changing how it calculates the F-450's payload. Instead of using its minimum curb weight as before, the brand is now using the truck's base curb weight. The revision lowers the pickup's rating to 5,300 pounds, compared to 5,450 pounds previously. The company said in its announcement that the reason for this is "aligning its payload rating practices with other manufacturers to make it easier for customers to compare vehicles." General Motors made a similar switch for its pickups in August.

General Motors and Ford can have all the success they please, but it doesn't seem like America's two largest manufacturers are going to topple Toyota in the first half of 2013. According to Reuters, Toyota moved 4.91 million vehicles in the first six months of 2013, representing a 1.1-percent drop from the same period in 2012.
GM is on the rise, though, with a four-percent increase in global sales, to 4.85 million. Volkswagen, still sitting in third, saw a 5.5-percent jump to 4.7 million vehicles in the first half of 2013.
If this pace continues for Toyota, it'll finish 2013 in the top sales spot for the second year in a row. The manufacturer fell to third, behind GM and VW, in 2011 after earthquakes and tsunamis ravaged its production capacity.
