1977 Ford Bronco 4x4 302ci V8 - Early Classic Bronco on 2040-cars
Miami, Florida, United States
|
Condition:
This 1977 Early Ford Bronco runs great, has been in climate controlled-garage, and has had routine maintenance and minor repairs by mechanics over the years. Body is in very good condition, with small dings, scratches, and paint chips throughout (see photos). There are small bits of rust, but nothing anywhere major (see photo driver kick panel). Crack in hood (see photo) has been the same size since I bought it. Original windshield is flat, with 1 small ding in it. Lock on driver side door works, passenger side does not, but there is no top--so its never locked. I have moved it across the country 3 times without issue (NJ, LA, Miami). It is the original factory paint job--37 years faded :-) Truck is not a show rebuild--but looks used and well enjoyed. I use it with the top off, but it comes with both the Kayline soft top, and the original hard top, as seen in the photos. I will also have stainless steel nerd bars from Jeff's Bronco Graveyard to add in that I have never attached. I have used it for the beach, golf course, quail fields or driving around town, mostly just weekends. It does require a warm-up on cold starts, but fires right up afterwards. Drives great, with a slight kick during initial acceleration (10-15mph), but I hardly notice anymore. There is not a day I drive it that I do not get a compliment. Features:
History - Clear Title. I have owned for several years without any major issues, mostly routine maintenance. I have had some wiring replaced, battery replaced, carburetor cleaned out and resealed, safety switch replaced, choke replaced, fuel fill neck replaced; I am not a mechanic, and had all this done professionally. Previous owner was out of California, owned for 15 years, and had stated that the motor was a rebuild with only 14,000 miles on it at the time (2010). He indicated the transmission was a rebuild, and that the smog pump, radiator, hoses, cat converter, fuel tank he had replaced new over his ownership. I could not verify, but sharing for history on this Bronco. This is a 37 year old Bronco in very good shape, but if you actually use it, there will be items over time that will eventually come up. I have been able to find nearly anything I needed off of Tom's Bronco Parts or Jeff's Bronco Graveyard, and had found a "Bronco enthusiast" mechanic anywhere I have lived. Questions?

Ford unveils Mustang 50th anniversary logo, plans merchandise
Tue, 26 Mar 2013The Ford Mustang turns 50 years old this year, and this is the logo that will announce the milestone occasion on a special line of merchandise. The graphic is the result of an internal design competition, and Ford will give 50 different companies the license to use it on traditional logo merchandise like shirts and watches, along with some untraditional items like pinball machines.
Ford is going to begin the celebrations at this week's New York Auto Show and continue them throughout the year, but April 17 is the official birthday of the the pony car that just won't quit. You can expect to start seeing anniversary merchandise in the next couple of weeks.
Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado, Toyota Tundra flunk IIHS headlight test
Tue, Oct 25 2016The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety put pickup truck headlights to the test and found that the majority of them were equipped with subpar units. The 2017 Honda Ridgeline was the only truck to earn a rating of "good." The large pickup truck test was comprised of the: 2016 to 2017 GMC Sierra, 2017 Nissan Titan, 2016 Ram 1500, 2016 to 2017 Chevrolet Silverado, 2016 to 2017 Ford F-150, and 2016 to 2017 Toyota Tundra. The Sierra's headlights earned a rating of "acceptable," the headlights found on the Titan and Ram 1500 were found to be "marginal," and the ones on the Silverado, F-150, and Tundra were rated as "poor." IIHS claims the F-150 was the most disappointing out of the large pickup trucks as both its halogen and optional LED headlights failed to provide adequate visibility during testing. The Ridgeline (which earned a "good rating"), is usually considered a midsize or small truck, though IIHS included it in the field of large pickups. The headlights on the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado, 2016 GMC Canyon, 2016 Nissan Frontier, and 2016 to 2017 Toyota Tacoma, which made up the small pickup truck group, all earned a rating of "poor." The IIHS claimed the Colorado had the worst headlights of any truck that was tested, as the base vehicle's units were only able to illuminate up to 123 feet in front of the car. The Ridgeline's headlights, for reference, were able to illuminate up to 358 feet in front of the vehicle. To conduct its test, the IIHS utilizes a special tool to measure how far light is projected out of the headlights in different driving situations. The trucks' headlights were tested in a straight line and in corners, while vehicles with high-beam assist were given extra praise. The headlights on the pickup trucks also mimic the testing that was done on small SUVs and cars earlier this year. Next year, automakers will need to fit their vehicles with headlights that earn a rating of either good or acceptable to earn the IIHS Top Safety Pick+. Related Video:
Ford files trademark application for 'Model E'
Fri, 27 Dec 2013In early December, Ford filed an application with the US Patent and Trademark Office for the name "Model E." Historically, Ford never produced a Model E, and while automakers are known to file for trademarks they never use, some have wondered if the application might be used for a concept car.
Based on other recent events, though, it could be a legal move. In 2000 Ford sued an online start-up called Model E over the similarity of that name to Ford's industry-shaping Model T, but the judge dismissed the case citing lack of proper grounds. In August 2013, Tesla applied for trademark registration for Model E, and at the time, Ford said it would review the application. Tesla actually made two applications for Model E, one for automobiles and structural parts therefore, the other for "providing maintenance and repair services for automobiles," and there are plenty of theories about what the name could be applied to.
The Published for Opposition date for Tesla's applications is December 31, 2013, after which anyone who thinks they'd be harmed by Tesla being granted the trademark gets 30 days to register their issues. This is just speculation, but Ford's application - which was filed for automobiles only - might be about protecting what it sees as unwelcome encroachment on the name Model T, protection it wasn't able to enforce before when the stakes were only online and much smaller.
