We have a 1989 Full Size Ford Bronco Eddie Bauer Edition (CLEAR TITLE - IN HAND) that we are listing for sale.

This was purchased as a restoration project but we are working too much to be able to give this any more time. Our loss is your gain...this is going to be a true investment since the Bronco will be reintroduced by Ford in 2016 the value of this truck is set to explode. With minimal investment, you can capitalize on that wave.

THE GOOD: In addition to a squeaky clean carfax, this bucking Bronco has a strong running 5.0/302 motor...

NO LEAKS/NO KNOCKS/STARTS EVERYTIME/GETS UP AND GOES!

...with 138,XXX miles and she looks clean under the hood. It has a legitimate towing package with the auxiliary cooler (not just a tow hitch). Smooth shifting transmission, Tires have easily 75% tread and all match except the spare. We just replaced the high pressure line and recharged the A/C so this has ICE COLD refreshing A/C for the hot Florida summer. New throttle position sensor installed, New Serpentine Belt, New driver and passenger side headlights installed (all lights work). All three window motors as well as all window gaskets and felts are brand new and work beautifully - NO LEAKS. It has a brand new exhaust system and purrs like a kitten as well as a brand new full front, rear and head unit Kenwood stereo system to rock out while you're on the road. This is in all original condition, the interior has very minor issues but no cracks were noted in the dash and overall it is clean. This truck has great bones for a driving restoration and would make a great first vehicle or driving restoration project. Another neat feature of this Bronco is that it has hidden start switch as an added security measure.

ALL KNOWN ISSUES: There is rust at bottom of tailgate & very top of driver's side window channel (this is common issue - please expand photos to see detail), there is a tear in driver's seat and it definitely needs paint and some dings worked out. We do have a local contact that will do the paint and body work for cost of materials. The 4WD is not currently working but based on testing and research up to this point we suspect it just needs to have the ECM module replaced which is approximately $100 and time to install it.

Any potential buyers are welcome to make arrangements to view and inspect this locally. Payment will need to be in cash or 3% will be added to final total to cover the cost of paypal fees. We require a NON-REFUNDABLE deposit of $125 within 24 hrs of the end of the auction to cover the cost of the final value fee. Final payment is due within 7 days of the end of the auction.

Buyer will be solely responsible for pick up and we are happy to work with any shipping company as we do have experience with transport services. Please note, we are both firefighters and work 24hr shifts so there may be days where we cannot be available for pick up so schedule coordination is a must.

Additional photos are available upon request.

Please ask all questions prior to making an offer.

Vehicle is listed for sale locally and we reserve the right to end the auction at any time, for any reason.

Unrestored 1969 Shelby GT500 one of many classic barn finds going to auction

Wed, 19 Mar 2014

We love a good barn find here at Autoblog. We like that there's a palpable excitement and sense of mystery surrounding barn finds. Each case has its own uniqueness to it, and this latest discovery is no different: an unrestored, one-owner 1969 Shelby GT500 with just 8,531 miles on it.
In the case of this particular barn find, many of the typical questions have already been answered. For example, we know who owned it - his name was Larry Brown. He recently passed away, and as he had no wife or children to inherit the estate, the car he purchased at Pennsylvania Ford dealer in May of 1969, will be auctioned off by Ron Gilligan Auctioneers.
The car was fastidiously maintained, having never been driven in the rain. In fact, Brown never even washed it, out of fear of it rusting. According to the auction website, the last time this car saw water was probably when it was detailed ahead of being delivered to Brown. If that doesn't sound like a fanatical sense of maintenance on the part of this GT500's owner, this next part will. The interior has been treated to a similarly painstaking attempt at preservation, with garbage bags covering the seats and two layers of floor mats over the carpets. The result is a car that, aesthetically, is in remarkable shape considering it's spent so long in a barn.

Ward's calls out Ford's EcoBoost engines for their crummy fuel economy

Thu, Jan 8 2015

With a name like EcoBoost, one might expect Ford's line of turbocharged engines to be somewhat, um, economical. In other words, replacing displacement with a turbocharger is supposed to deliver better fuel economy. Based on the experience time and time again of multiple Autoblog editors, your author included, this is simply not the case. Now, Ward's is calling out the cruddy efficiency numbers of Ford's EcoBoost line of engines. The column dresses down not just the new 2.7-liter V6 of the 2015 F-150, but also the 2.3-liter of the Mustang, the 1.5-liter from the Fusion and the 3.2-liter PowerStroke diesel found in the Transit, while also explaining why just one Ford engine was named to Ward's 10 Best Engines list. In its testing of all four engines, Ward's editors never came even remotely close to matching the 2.7's claimed 26 miles per gallon (for two-wheel-drive models), with the truck's computer indicating between 17.6 and 19 mpg over a 250-odd-mile run. Calculating the fuel economy manually revealed an even more depressing 15.6 miles per gallon. Criticisms with the 2.3-liter four-cylinder focused on its strange soundtrack, although it was business as usual with the 1.5-liter and 3.2 diesel, with Ward's criticizing the fuel economy of both engines. The 1.5, which Ward's claims is sold as a hybrid alternative, failed to get over 30 miles per gallon, while the five-cylinder turbodiesel's figures couldn't stand up against FCA's 3.0-liter EcoDiesel. The entire column really is worth a read, especially if you were disappointed in Ward's decision to only salute Ford's three-cylinder EcoBoost while shunning the rest of the company's new turbocharged mills.

Creations n' Chrome Top Notch Mustang is a one-of-a-kind fox

Thu, 07 Nov 2013

Is there a cooler car from the 1980s and early 90s to mod than a Fox-body Ford Mustang? No, there isn't. If you disagree with us, we suggest you have a look at this 1990 Mustang Coupe, which just might change your mind. Although considering just how extensively modified this car - the Top Notch Mustang from Creations n' Chrome - is, we wonder just how much Ford is left in this old pony.
It rides on a custom race tube chassis that weighs a scant 700 pounds, while carbon-fiber bits and bobs help lower the overall curb weight to a mere 2,400 pounds. When paired with supercharged, 5.0-liter, Aluminator V8 from Ford Racing, the results are, doubtlessly, exciting. 855 horsepower at the rear wheels and 667 pound-feet of torque are available from that force-fed V8 should be just plenty for this car's intended purpose of running in standing-mile competitions.
The Top Notch Mustang is more extreme than just weight savings and a big engine, though. That 5.0-liter is essentially in what's known as a front-mid layout - where the engine is actually behind the front axle. In this case, the 5.0-liter V8 is 17 inches further back than a factory Fox-body, for better weight distribution. As a result, the cabin has been completely overhauled. An SLA front suspension, wheels from HRE, Wilwood brakes and Sparco interior items round out the extensive list of mods.
