2014 Restoration, Gorgeous Early Bronco Delivery Model, 289 on 2040-cars
Huntington Beach, California, United States
VIN IS: U15NLC92263
THIS UNUSUAL FORD BRONCO DELIVERY MODEL CAME OFF THE ASSEMBLY LINE IN FEBRUARY, 1968.
THIS CONFIGURATION IS NOT OFTEN SEEN IN THE EARLY BRONCO WORLD, IT IS A U15 (FULL HARDTOP WAGON) MODEL WHICH, RATHER THAN BEING EQUIPPED WITH THE TYPICAL FRONT BUCKETS AND REAR BENCH SEATS, CAME WITH A DIFFERENT FACTORY SETUP.
IN THIS “UTILITY” "DELIVERY" OR “RANCH WAGON” MODEL, A FRONT BENCH SEAT WAS INSTALLED FROM THE FACTORY WITH A BULKHEAD BEHIND IT, AND IT HAD A FULL LENGTH HARDTOP (NOT A HALF CAB). THIS IS VERY UNCOMMON AND MAKES FOR AN INTERESTING SETUP THAT SURELY WILL MAKE A FUN IMPRESSION AT YOUR LOCAL CAR SHOW OR CAR MEET. VERY RARE COLLECTABLE VEHICLE.
THIS EARLY BRONCO HAS AN UNCUT BODY, AND UNCUT FENDERS.
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU SAW THIS COMBINATION? OF THE FEW TRUCKS BUILT IN THIS ORIGINAL CONFIGURATION, HOW MANY REMAIN INTACT TODAY, OR IN 'UNMOLESTED' CONDITION? MOST HAVE LIKELY BEEN TURNED INTO MODIFIED OFF ROADERS, CUT UP, OR OTHERWISE CHANGED FROM THEIR ORIGINAL DESIGN. THIS IS A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY! PERHAPS YOU CAN PICTURE THE MANY PURPOSES THIS VEHICLE COULD HAVE BEEN USED FOR IN ITS EARLY DAYS...DELIVERING MILK TO YOUR DOOR FOR EXAMPLE?
THIS TRUCK APPEARS AS IT DID IN ITS ORIGINAL STATE, WITH SOME SPORT UPGRADES FOR A LITTLE MORE BRILLIANCE.
THIS WAS PURCHASED FROM AN ESTATE SALE IN NEW MEXICO WHERE THE TRUCK WAS FOR MANY YEARS~ AND THEN THE RESTORATION WORK WAS PERFORMED TO BRING YOU THIS BEAUTIFULLY REFRESHED CLASSIC.
NEW 2 STAGE PAINT IS THE ORIGINAL COLOR, LUNAR GREEN, CODE “U” DONE IN B.A.S.F. URETHANE BASE COAT WITH 5 COATS OF 2:1 CATALYZED URETHANE CLEAR OVER THE TOP.
A NICE COSMETIC RESTORATION WAS DONE IN 2014 AND WAS FINISHED THIS WEEK. THE BODY WAS STRIPPED TO BARE METAL, SANDED SMOOTH, AND THE BODY PANELS WERE CAREFULLY BROUGHT BACK TO THE NICE CONDITION THAT YOU SEE HERE. THE PANELS WERE PRIMED WITH CATALYZED PRIMER SURFACER, BLOCK SANDED BY HAND, THEN PRIMED AND BLOCKED AGAIN. THE INTERIOR FLOORS AND BED WALLS WERE REPAINTED IN LUNAR GREEN. HARDTOP WAS SANDED DOWN, PRIMED COMPLETELY WITH PRIMER SURFACER, THEN SANDED SMOOTH AND REPAINTED IN WHITE, INSIDE AND OUT. FRONT FLOOR SHEETMETAL, EXTERIOR ROCKER PANELS, AND LEFT TAIL LIGHT HOUSING WERE REPLACED WITH CORRECT NEW STAMPED STEEL. BULKHEAD REMOVED FROM TRUCK AND REPAINTED IN LUNAR GREEN, FRONT AND BACK.
DURING THE BODY RESTORATION, PANELS REMOVED AND PAINTED SEPARATELY:
HOOD REPAINTED IN BASECOAT CLEARCOAT; TOP AND BOTTOM. DOORS REMOVED AND INTERIOR SIDES OF SHELLS PAINTED PLUS ALL JAMBS. NEW DOOR HINGES AND NEW LEFT SIDE DOOR HINGE POST. TAILGATE REMOVED AND REPAINTED INSIDE AND OUT. FLOORS WERE PAINTED SEPARATELY. THE BODY SHELL WAS PAINTED LAST. THE NEW PAINT AND BODY REALLY LOOK IMPRESSIVE. ALL PAINT WAS DONE IN A DOWN DRAFT SPRAY BOOTH BY A PREMIERE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA BODY SHOP. PAINTER IS A WELL EXPERIENCED VETERAN WITH OVER 29 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE. ALL METAL WORK, WELDING, AND REPAIR DONE BY A 30 YEAR BODY MAN.
NEW HARDTOP TO BODY WEATHERSTRIP. NEW WINDSHIELD WITH NEW RUBBER SEAL.
4 FACTORY STEEL WHEELS WERE SENT TO THE SANDBLASTER AND WERE POWDER COATED IN WHITE. NEW TIRES WERE MOUNTED AND BALANCED ON THESE STEEL WHEELS. FOUR NEW ADVENTURO GT RADIAL TIRES IN 235/75/15 WITH WHITE LETTERS OUT FOR A VINTAGE LOOK. SPARE IS INCLUDED. NEW STAINLESS SPARE TIRE MOUNTING HARDWARE FROM TOM'S BRONCO PARTS.
BRAKES WERE REPLACED WITH ALL NEW HARDWARE KITS FOR ALL FOUR WHEELS, NEW SHOES AND NEW WHEEL CYLINDERS ALL AROUND TOO. THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS ALSO REPLACED WITH NEW FLUID. FRESHLY TURNED DRUMS. BRAKES HAVE UNDER 1 MILE ON THEM AT THIS TIME.
UNDERSIDE WAS DEGREASED, STEAM CLEANED, AND REPAINTED IN BLACK.
INTERIOR HAS A FRESHLY REUPHOLSTERED FACTORY BENCH SEAT. PATTERN LOOKS JUST AS WE INTENDED, FOR THAT EARLY LOOK. DOOR PANELS WERE REMOVED AND PAINTED TO MATCH THE OTHER WHITE PAINT ON THE BRONCO. DASH WAS REPAINTED ALSO. FACTORY HORN BUTTON. NEW PARCHMENT FACTORY STYLE HEADLINER WITH BRIGHT CENTER RETAINER.
NEW PARCHMENT DOOR ARMRESTS.

NEW EXTERIOR CHROME DOOR HANDLES. NEW DOOR LOCK CYLINDERS. NEW DRIVERS DOOR CHROME MIRROR, NEW TAIL LIGHT CHROME BEZELS.
TAIL LIGHT LENSES ARE NEW.

THE “N” IN THE VIN INDICATES 289 ENGINE FOR FACTORY EQUIPMENT.
I BELIEVE THAT THE ENGINE IS THE CORRECT, NUMBERS MATCHING ONE FROM THE FACTORY; GIVEN THAT THE METAL ENGINE TAG FOUND IN THE FORD MOTOR CO. DESIGNATED LOCATION CONTAINS THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION: 289 E 68 16
M1 233-J
THE "289" ON THIS TAG IDENTIFIES THE ENGINE AS A 289. THE "68" IDENTIFIES IT AS A 1968 ENGINE, CORRECT FOR THIS YEAR. ENGINE OIL PAN # STAMP ALSO IDENTIFIES IT AS A CORRECT FORD BRONCO ENGINE, C6TE-6675-G.
ENGINE DATE CODE ON FRONT OF ENGINE BLOCK IS 7M1, DECEMBER 1, 1967.
JUDGING FROM THIS INFORMATION, I BELIEVE IT IS THE CORRECT NUMBERS MATCHING ENGINE WHICH WAS ORIGINALLY INSTALLED IN THIS BRONCO IN 1968.
TRANSMISSION FACTORY 3 ON THE TREE SUSPENSION IS STOCK HEIGHT
CODE “18” ON DATA PLATE INDICATES 3.50 DIFFERENTIAL GEARING.
DANA 20 TRANSFER CASE WITH T HANDLE.

Ford's new Focus RS hatches hot and heads for America
Tue, Feb 3 2015The hot hatch market is heating up, and heating up fast. What you see here is Ford's new challenger for pocket-rocket supremacy, the third iteration of the breed and the 30th model to wear the Rallye Sport designation. But perhaps best of all, it will be the first time Ford will offer a new Focus RS in America. Following yesterday's leak, the latest Ford Focus RS is now ready to step out into the light and light up its tires. Answering the call is the same 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbo four as you'd find in the new Mustang, but upgraded with a new low-inertia twin-scroll turbocharger, larger compressor and intercooler, freer-flowing intake, large-bore dual-pipe exhaust with electronically controlled valve and upgraded internal components. The result is a 6,500-rpm redline (closer to that of Ford's atmospheric performance engines) and an output quoted as "well in excess of 315 horsepower" – which is already 5 more than the EcoBoost Mustang and a good 63 more than the existing Focus ST. Power is transmitted to the tarmac through a new performance-focused all-wheel drive system with torque vectoring that can send as much as 70 percent of available twist to the rear wheels (and as much as 100 percent between them). The system works in tandem with the brake-based torque vectoring system and stability control, and will even divert torque to the outside rear wheel under cornering to keep it flat and under control while reducing understeer. Those still suspicious of dual-clutch gearboxes will also be pleased to read that Ford has stuck with a conventional six-speed manual. We'll reserve judgement on the inclusion of the electric power steering until we get a chance to drive it, though. Of course the small team of global Ford Performance engineers who developed the new Focus RS – and the Gymkhana legend Ken Block who consulted on the project – didn't just tinker with the powertrain and leave it at that. The suspension features stiffer spring rates, bushings and anti-roll bars than the Focus ST, augmented by two-mode switchable dampers. 19-inch alloys wear Michelin Pilot Super Sport rubber, with optional Pilot Sport Cup 2 semi-slicks for track-day enthusiasts. Ford has yet to detail the brakes on its new hot hatch, but you can bet they've been upgraded as well.
Ford Focus Electric and ST recalled over lighting issue
Mon, 12 Aug 2013Ford is recalling 6,308 units of the 2012 and 2013 Focus Electric and 2013 Focus ST that were fitted with HID headlights because a "wiring incompatibility" could keep the front side marker lights from working. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says the recall should begin in the middle of this month, after which owners can take their cars to dealers to have the wiring assembly repaired free of charge.
You can find more information in the NHTSA bulletin posted below.
Here are the best-selling cars and trucks from January 2015
Fri, Feb 6 2015Every month, Autoblog slogs through all the sales figures reported by automakers that do business in the United States, and, after a little bit of sorting, we put it into an easy-to-read chart in an attempt to make it as easy as possible to follow the ins and outs of sales and shipments. But that only covers the brands themselves, not the individual models they sell. And we think you'd all be interested in knowing which vehicles beat their rivals in sales from month to month, so we've put together this handy gallery to keep you in the know. While the leader of the pack may not come as much of a surprise, the order that the top ten finishes in changes frequently – due to automaker deals, the price of gas, etc. – and we've included some statistics to help you see how their current performance stacks up to month's past.
