Original Classic 1970 Ford Bronco 76,911 Original Miles 302 V-8 Perfect Body Uncut New Paint Showroom Piece Super Clean Interior New Tires Drum Brakes New Door Seals Rebuilt Carburetor You are looking at a 1970 Original Ford Bronco with 76,911 original mile. The Bronco is an unrestored other than it was repainted the original color a few years ago. The Bronco has been garaged and everything works on the drive very well. The tires are are in excellent condition. The All the doors are straight and shut tight. The seats, headliner, radio (AM), antenna..... really everything I can think of looks and works well. The engine runs great and has always been tuned by a local classic car guy who owns a shop and knows how to tune properly. It has the original distributor and runs points. Never upgraded to electronic ignition as it's easy to care for and really kind of cool being original. The exhaust is also original and works well. Both fuel tanks work well and the valve to switch tanks works also. All instrument panels and lights, gauges work. All chrome bumpers are in great condition I believe to original It has some factory options, the 4:10 rear differential and 9" Ford rear axle. That means with the 302 V-8 (first year of what would become the 5.0 Mustang motor in the early 80's - underrated at 205 bhp and 300 lb/ft of torque) and the three speed manual column shifter (3-on-the-tree) get poor gas mileage (about 10mpg), but will climb the side of a mountain like a billy-goat. It's purpose built, of course. History: The original owner bought the Bronco new and it spent its life as a daily driver from 1970-2007 in Durango, Colorado. Then the 2nd owner who was a collector bought it and repainted it and cleaned it up and it has sat garaged since 2007. I believe he may have put 1000 miles on it in 5-6 years. I bought the Bronco to be a daily drive for me to make my big 1 mile commute to work everyday. Needless say I haven't been driving it and I have a a few cars and I am needing to make some garage space. Please note the only issue I have found on the Bronco is the inside left engine sidewall has barley rusted through , overall there is a 2" round part where the metal is thin.(Please see pictures). There is a black mark like possibly something in the engine compartment got on the sidewall and accelerated the process. Also there is a small bulldog hood ornament the prior own put on. Other than that the Bronco is perfect and run great.

Tier 1 suppliers call GM the worst OEM to work with
Mon, 12 May 2014Among automakers with a big US presence, General Motors is the worst to work for, according to a new survey from Tier 1 automotive suppliers, conducted by Planning Perspectives, Inc.
The Detroit-based manufacturer, which has been under fire following the ignition switch recall and its accompanying scandal, finished behind six other automakers with big US manufacturing operations. Suppliers had issues with trust and communications, as well as intellectual property protection. GM was also the least likely to allow suppliers to raise their prices in the face of unexpected increases in material cost, all of which contributed to 55 percent of suppliers saying their relationship with GM was "poor to very poor."
GM's cross-town competitors didn't fare much better. Chrysler finished in fifth place, ahead of GM and behind Dearborn-based Ford, which was passed for third place this year by Nissan. Toyota took the top marks, while Honda captured second place.
Ford says 70% of its models to get stop-start by 2017
Sun, 15 Dec 2013Ford is following up on a report we posted a few weeks back that the Blue Oval would be adding stop-start technology to its entire model range. Now, the Dearborn-based automaker has announced that the fuel-saving feature would be available on 70 percent of the company's range by 2017.
Ford claims the technology will improve fuel economy by around 3.5 percent, although its actual effect will vary based on how the owner drives - apparently up to a 10-percent improvement is possible for those who sit in heavy traffic (Los Angelenos, this means you). The latest recipient of the technology is the updated 2014 Ford Fiesta with the company's three-cylinder EcoBoost powerplant.
Part of the reasoning for the new addition has to do with cost. Ford claims the tech is affordable and easy to implement. "Simply put, Auto Start-Stop helps customers use less fuel, which is an important component of Ford's Blueprint for Sustainability," Ford's global powertrain vice president, Bob Fascetti, said.
Here's why automakers roll out those Texas-themed pickup trucks
Thu, Sep 29 2016Every year, automakers with a full-size truck link make a big show of the Texas State Fair, usually involving a reveal of a new model. Sometimes they show a whole new truck, and other times a special edition centered on the Lone Star state. While some people might write this off as a quirk of the industry, others might be wondering, "What's the big deal with Texas?" As it turns out, part of the big deal with Texas is big truck sales. According to Dave Sullivan, product analysis manager at AutoPacific, Texas buys more trucks than any other state in the country. It's not a small margin either. Edmunds.com, one in five trucks sold in the US are sold in Texas. The state also accounts for 15 percent of the country's large truck sales, which is more than twice that of California, the second largest truck market in America. Even when you break down sales only in Texas, trucks are a huge piece of the pie - Sullivan says that a quarter of new vehicle sales in Texas are trucks. One in five trucks sold in the US are sold in Texas. But it's not just sales that make truck builders give attention to Texas. As Sullivan explained, "Pickups are life in Texas." Both he and Hugh Milne, marketing and advertising manager for the Chevy Silverado line, said that trucks are key fixtures in Texas society, as both work trucks and luxury vehicles (or Texas Cadillacs as Milne called them). Milne said Texas is so important in the truck market that if you want to be successful in the rest of the country, "you've got to be successful in Texas." As for the State Fair, it has become a prime location for reveals in part because of the importance of the Texas market and because of how big the fair is. Milne also revealed that the State Fair also hosts its own auto show, so it's an ideal venue for a vehicle introduction. So there you have it. Why do truck builders obsess over Texas? It's because Texas obsesses over trucks. When you have one market that loves your product that much, you give it the attention it deserves.
