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:
  • Bronco has an automatic transmission, 302 CI V8, 104,255 miles, is lifted approx 3 inches.
  • 4x4 is a J-shift, driveshaft and transfer case all in good working order. 
  • For engaging 4x4--NEW Manual locking hubs - stainless steel, replaced March 2014
  • Comes with both Kayline soft top and original hard top. Hard top stored outside, has small bits of rust, and would need to be welded as support bar is detached from roof; Window rubber trim would also need replacing; I have never used hard top other than transporting across the country.
  • Front headlamps, dual gas tanks (main and reserve), aftermarket cloth seats, rug covered floor; Back seat is original white vinyl/leather. 
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.

Consumer Reports declares most and least loved cars [w/video]

Wed, Dec 3 2014

Consumer Reports is crunching the numbers from its annual owner-satisfaction survey, and part of that process is finding out how attached drivers are to their cars. CR simply asks readers of models up to three years old if they would buy the same vehicle again in light of their entire ownership experience, and tallies the results. After looking at the responses for about 350,000 vehicles, it turns out that people really love a certain California-built, electrically powered luxury sedan. That's right, this year's the overall winner was the Tesla Model S with a whopping 98 percent of owners saying they would purchase another one (the Model S also won this award last year, with 99 percent satisfaction). The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray came in a close second with 95 percent of drivers hoping to park another one in their garage. A few models weren't quite so favored, though. The Nissan Versa Sedan was the least loved model among its owners; a mere 42 percent said that they would purchase another. The aging Jeep Compass didn't do much better, with just 43 percent of drivers willing to buy the softroader again. On average, about 70 percent of owners say they would buy their car again, and only four cars ranked below 50 percent in CR's findings. Check out the video above to see some of the winners and losers in a few of CR's categories. If you're a subscriber, you can check out the full list on its website.

Even Ford executives had issues with MyFord Touch

Fri, Oct 7 2016

MyFord Touch is one of the auto industry's more controversial features. The media broadly panned the infotainment system developed with Microsoft for its slow responses and reliance on voice commands to navigate its deep menus. Oh, and Ford executives weren't big fans, either. Newly revealed court documents in a California class-action lawsuit demonstrate the level of venom Ford employees, both big and small, reserved for the Blue Oval's infotainment system. An error caused Bill Ford's navigation system to crash, leaving the family scion stuck on the side of the road in an unfamiliar area. The documents, unearthed by Forbes, detail current CEO Mark Fields' aggravations with MFT, too. A mechanic emailed an image of a cracked infotainment screen on an Edge to one of Ford's top Sync engineers, Kenneth Williams, suggesting "Mark Fields may have been a little aggravated with the system." But Ford and Fields' issues are nothing compared to the woes of the engineers that had to work on MFT. In a collection of emails obtained by Forbes, one engineer called the system "a polished turd," while another simply said, "These poor customers." And after one engineer suggested using a photo of Ford's Oakville Assembly Plant – home of the Edge, Flex, Lincoln MKX, and MKT production – as a background for the system, one of his coworkers said in an email that someone should instead Photoshop the image to read "abandon hope all ye who enter here," the Detroit News reports. Another summed up the problem, saying: "Ford's quality reputation is completely on the line ... another model year with the same crap is not acceptable." MyFord Touch almost single-handedly torpedoed Ford's reputation in widely reported quality metrics, including JD Power and Consumer Reports. Ford responded with a refreshed Sync3, a wildly improved rethink of its infotainment system that is far more responsive and easier to live with every day.

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues

Wed, 28 Dec 2011

'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
