This Bronco is one of the last ones to be built.  In 1996, Ford made several upgrades to the F150/Bronco line before the body style was discontinued including: roller-rockers, OBD-II compliant emissions, reinforced B-pillars (all other model year Broncos crack just above the door from body flex) and improved passenger-side dash support (all other model years break the support bracket causing the dash to sag).

Everything works perfectly on this truck including the rear window (both switch and key), the electronic 4X4 transfer case, the power mirrors, windows and door locks, and the airbag and cruise control.  The tires are brand new 31" BFG All-Terrains (less than 500 miles), the steering linkage is all new, and the front end has been aligned to spec.  The heater core is brand new, and the cooling system was flushed and filled with fresh anti-freeze and has no leaks.  The a/c compressor and accumulator have been replaced with all new valves and o-rings and the system was flushed and filled with new refrigerant and oil.  The fan works perfectly and the a/c blows COLD.  The fuel pump has been replaced as well as the fuel filter.  The muffler has been upgraded to a less-restrictive Flowmaster.  The previous owner told me that the transmission had been replaced recently, and I believe it because it has very positive shifts and doesn't hesitate or slip at all.  The engine starts up easily and runs very well (has very low marks on the smog emission inspection).  This truck came from the factory with remote keyless entry, and this sale includes two complete sets of keys with working remotes.  It also came from the factory with the color-matched running board steps.  The factory automatic hubs have been replaced with quality after-market manual locking hubs (an upgrade to the less-reliable automatic hubs).  This has the factory tow package, which includes a 7-pin trailer plug, heavier springs and quad shocks.  That option requires the heavy-duty cooling package which includes a larger radiator, extra cooling slots in the bumper, an auxiliary transmission cooler, and an oil cooler.

This Bronco has been exclusively owned and operated in the dry climate of Southern California, therefore the body and frame are completely rust-free (as many Broncos are prone to rust).  The paint has been polished and waxed and shines like new!  It has clearly not been abused off-road, since there is no build-up of mud underneath and no damage to the under carriage.  There is one obvious dent in the upper left of the tailgate, but no paint damage.  There is a dent in the front edge of the hood with some paint damage.  The rear bumper is tweaked and appears to have contacted the left rear body panel.  There are other minor blemishes on the body but no significant dents, and no paint repair.  Check the vehicle history, the title is clear and it has not been involved in any accidents.  Non-smoker (I don't smoke, and neither does the truck).

Ford C-Max Solar Energi takes a recharging station wherever it goes

Wed, 08 Jan 2014

Companies ranging in size from small startups to major automakers have been experimenting with solar-powered charging stations for EVs and plug-in hybrids. And, of course, people have been powering vehicles with onboard solar panels for quite some time, too. Still, Ford's new C-Max Solar Energi Concept shows the promise of a truly practical implementation of solar on a production vehicle, and it may not be as far off in the future as we had thought.
As we reported a few days ago, the Solar concept makes use of a "concentrator lens" that focuses sunlight onto the Ford's roof-mounted solar panels. The special lens follows the rays of the sun to maximize the amount of charge being fed to the batteries of the car, taking about a day to fully charge the 21-mile, all-electric range of the C-Max Energi. Ford data suggests that combination might be enough to power 75 percent of all trips made by a statistically average driver. In turn, using the sun to power a vehicle could reduce yearly C02 emissions by up to four metric tons when compared with the driver of an average gasoline-powered sedan.
We've got live images of the C-Max Solar Energi Concept, jauntily tilted on its display to best present it's signature solar panels, straight from the CES floor.

2014 Ford Fiesta ST priced from $21,400* [w/poll]

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

The 2014 model year brings a whole host of changes to Ford's Fiesta B-Segment fighter, the most important of which (to our enthusiast eyes, anyway) is the addition of a potent new ST model. The US-spec hot hatch was first shown at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show last November, and thanks to Ford's build-and-price site, we've now learned that the Fiesta ST will slide in at $21,400 when it goes on sale later this year (*not including $795 for destination).
Under the hood of the ST is a turbocharged 1.6-liter EcoBoost inline-four good for 197 horsepower and 214 pound-feet of torque, mated solely to a six-speed manual transmission. Ford hasn't released performance data on its pint-sized puncher just yet, but know that these numbers make the Fiesta ST ever-so-slightly more powerful than the larger Volkswagen GTI while returning an estimated 34 miles per gallon on the highway.
Elsewhere in the lineup, the standard Fiesta also gets a smattering of improvements for the 2014 model year, including a new 1.0-liter three-cylinder turbocharged engine and revised exterior styling. Pricing for the 2014 Fiesta sedan starts at $14,000, with the five-door model adding $600 to that number (again excluding the $795 destination fee).

Ford builds one-off 50th anniversary Mustang Convertible for charity

Thu, 08 May 2014

At the New York Auto Show this year, Ford revealed a special-edition Mustang to honor the iconic pony car's 50th anniversary. Only 1,964 highly symbolic examples will be made, all of them fixed-roof coupes. But the Blue Oval automaker has just announced that it's also building a single 50 Years edition convertible that it will raffled off for charity.
The first production example of the new Mustang Convertible to roll off the line this fall, this one-off will pack many of the features on the 50 Years coupe, including its white paintjob, chrome trim, aluminum dashboard, two-tone upholstery, contrast stitching, special 19-inch wheels and special-edition badging throughout.
This unique cabrio will also be fitted with a special performance pack including Pirelli PZero rubber, Brembo brakes and a limited-slip differential to help get the 420 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque from the 5.0-liter V8 through the six-speed manual transmission and down to the road. It'll also feature a serial plaque with the number 0001 of 0001 and chairman Bill Ford's signature.
