1996 Ford Bronco 5.8l 4x4 Florida Vehicle Great Shape on 2040-cars

Year:1996 Mileage:136000 Color: of the lower tailgate
Location:

Winter Garden, Florida, United States

Winter Garden, Florida, United States

Condition:

Bronco looks and runs great.  From the original blue and white paint to the rust free frame and undercarriage, and the push button four wheel drive, you will be pleased with this truck. Everything works on this vehicle, power windows and locks are fully functional, even the back window up/down switch operates.  Recently new A/C pump, provides cold A/C, and the heater blows hot.

The original paint is in great overall shape, however it does show some wear on the front of the hood, and the roof, and the aftermarket sun visor is loosing it's clear coat.  The ONLY rust is in the inevitable place on the interior of the lower tailgate seam. It is starting on one side, and there are a few spots starting to come through on the exterior of the lower tailgate (see photos). You can see the the rain gutters on the roof are in great shape as well.

The body is wreck and dent free, what you see is what you get.  The body or suspension has never been lifted, nor cut, to accommodate larger tire and wheel combinations.  The cap has never been removed, and is all original, including the white paint.

All of the chrome, including the bumpers are in great shape, only a few wear spots on the body side molding plastic chrome trim.

Engine and transmission are running great.  Starts cleanly even after sitting for a few weeks and the transmission shifts smooth, up and down.  There is a slight engine oil drip, I think it is from the rear seal, but I can't say for sure.  I know it isn't from the valve covers, as they are clean.  Drip isn't significant, as I never have to add oil between changes. 

Interior is smoke-free, clean and tear free, even the original floor mats are in great shape.  The aftermarket CD radio works fine, however skips occasionally, probably due for a change, it's been 15 years after all.

Optional Features:

The wheels are aftermarket standard size 15" aluminum, and tires are 32X11.50.  After market CD radio. 

History:

I purchased this vehicle in 1997 in Pittsburgh, from a dealer that had just taken it in on trade for an Explorer. Apparently the vehicle was too big for the female driver.  I believe there was about 9,000 miles on it when I bought it, and it came with the bleach marks in the rear carpet.  I suspect a grocery store accident... The Bronco lived in between Orlando, Florida and Pennsylvania until 1999, when I moved to Orlando. In 2004, the trucked moved with me to Atlanta, and back to Orlando in 2009.  It was my daily driver until 2011, and is now driven occasionally, and currently stored in an indoor storage space.  

Shipping and Payment:

Not being an ebay veteran, I prefer a cash transaction, however, a Paypal deposit can be arranged.  A $1,000 deposit will be required within 48 hours of sale closing, and a full and final balance payment must be made within 10 days of sale closing.  Failure of full and final payment being made within 10 days of sale closing will result in lose of all deposit money and right to vehicle.  Once all funds clear, title and vehicle will be released to buyer or buyers agent.  Happy to discuss specifics options further.  Bronco also being advertised locally.

Mustang retakes monthly pony car sales crown from Camaro

Wed, Dec 3 2014

Going back to their origins in the Swinging '60s, the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro have been fierce rivals for fans' hearts and dollars. Historically, the Ford often led in volume, but Chevy took the muscle car top spot in 2009 upon the Camaro's rebirth. However, with the launch of the latest Blue Oval pony car, the tide is turning back in Ford's favor. November was the first full month of sales for the new 2015 Mustang, and according to TheDetroitBureau.com, the model did spectacularly well. The Blue Oval shifted 8,728 of them, up 62 percent from same month last year, with the automaker proclaiming it the model's best November sales since 2006. Conversely, 4,385 units of the Camaro were delivered, down 13.5 percent year-over-year, meaning its sales were roughly half that of the new-generation Mustang. Ford is understandably happy with the results, and product development director Raj Nair even hinted to TDB that another version of the Mustang might be unveiled at January's North American International Auto Show. Rumor has it that the model will be the even more potent Shelby Mustang GT350R. Despite the Mustang's November success, the Camaro outsells it year to day. So far in 2014, Ford has sold 73,124 Mustangs versus 79,669 examples of the Camaro. With December offering the last chance for an overtake, the Bowtie may yet remain king for this year's sales crown. A new Camaro is peeking over the horizon, as well. It's reportedly moving to the Alpha platform used by the Cadillac ATS, and production could start in late 2015. Prototypes are already testing at the Nurburgring, and camouflaged examples have been spotted weirdly being compared to its '80s forefather.

Ford Fiesta ST in startling track battle against Toyota GT86

Wed, 26 Jun 2013

On the surface, there's very little that the Ford Fiesta ST and Toyota GT86 (or the Scion FR-S that is sold in the US, or the largely similar Subaru BRZ) share in common. One is a hatchback with power coming from a turbocharged engine routed to the front wheels. The other is a coupe with power coming from a naturally aspirated four-cylinder boxer engine routed to the rear wheels.
Thing is, both of them are reasonably priced performance cars aimed at a similar segment of the automotive marketplace, so a comparison isn't out of the question. It is with all of this in mind that we direct you to the video below, in which the blokes from Evo pit the two manic little machines against one another on a race track. The result? Well, it can be summed up this way: Fast versus fun.
See how the track battle goes down in the video below.

Spy shooter claims proof of upcoming aluminum Ford F-Series Super Duty

Thu, 26 Jun 2014

Ford has already confirmed that the 2015 F-150 (pictured above) was just the beginning for its more extensive use of aluminum. CEO Alan Mulally said it himself during the 2014 Detroit Auto Show. We've even already seen the future Raptor testing with an aluminum body. But a recent discovery from an intrepid spy photographer might indicate that the lightweight metal is coming to the Blue Oval's Super Duty pickups in their upcoming generation, as well.
According to Automotive News, a spy shooter in Colorado spotted a prototype for the next-gen F-350 testing. He happened to have a magnet on hand and got close enough to check the truck out. When he held it up to the metal in the bed, it didn't stick, which signaled to him a switch from steel to aluminum.
Obviously, this claim raises some questions. Given that it was a test vehicle, one possibility is that the Blue Oval is just evaluating the feasibility of switching to aluminum for the Super Duty trucks, not necessarily committed to it yet. Ford has been testing it quite exhaustively, after all. In fact, much of the rest of the truck in question was covered in camouflage, so it's possible that the magnet failed to work along the rest of the body not because it was aluminum, but because it wasn't powerful enough to get through the disguising material. Thus, the lightweight metal's use could be far less substantial than on the new F-150. Still, it was a clever idea for the cameraman to check things out and might have given us the first hint about brand's next heavy-duty models.
