1983 Big Bronco that we've owned for over 10 years. Was daily driver until youngest son left for college. Most everything has been repaired, replaced or rebuilt over the last couple of years. Excellent daily driver that is also excellent off road or in the mud.

A few more details - as far as we know this has been an Oklahoma / Texas truck since originally sold in Edmond Oklahoma.

Rust - None that I know of. There was some rust on the passenger front floor which was cut out and replaced, and the tailgate was rusted (pretty common for this model). The tailgate was replaced with a new tailgate from Jeff's Bronco Graveyard before the truck was re-painted. One dime sized rust bubble in rain guard rail.

Dent's & Dings - It's a 30 year old truck so there are some - body is not perfect. Dent on passenger door upper frame from it being pushed when closing. Front bumper dented from someone putting a tow strap around it to pull someone out. There is also a dent on the passenger rear quarter where the spare tire support hit it when being opened.

Mechanical - Motor and Transmission rebuilt within last 1000 miles. New drive-shaft and u joints at same time. Rebuilt carburetor, rodded radiator, new fuel pump (2), new water pump, new brakes. Six inch lift, with new shocks and springs and 35" pro-comp mud terrains - probably 2000 miles on those. A/C all original and working, Radio / speakers / amp all aftermarket. Transfer case, front hubs, differential and front end all original. The one thing that will need attention, that we just never got to is the front end - it's loose, and while the steering box has been replaced she needs new tie rod ends, ball joints and bushings in the front end.

Interior - The interior has been re-done - the flooring was replaced with rubber floor from Jeff's Bronco Graveyard. The quarter panels in the rear were re-done covered with vinyl and the seats are covered in saddle blanket aftermarket seat covers designed to fit this model. Dash also has a new dash pad cover that is hard to distinguish from the original.

Hot sales have Detroit automakers shortening summer shutdowns

Tue, 08 Jul 2014

Back in May, there was speculation that the Detroit Three automakers would maintain or perhaps even extend their traditional summer shutdowns, mostly due to a bitingly cold winter that saw below-freezing temperatures infiltrate the southernmost reaches of the US, putting a chill on auto sales. Now, though, the numbers are in, and thanks to some promising sales figures, it looks like some domestic line workers are going to be working clear through July, in some cases.
According to Automotive News, Ford has slashed its traditional two-week hiatus for factory workers in half at four of its plants, while both Chrysler and General Motors will keep factories running nonstop (two plants in Chrysler's case and a third of GM's factories).
This is, as we said, thanks to some positive numbers. Chief among those is the Seasonal Adjusted Annual Rate, which was at an eight-year high of 17 million units. Individual figures were less promising. GM, embroiled in its recall scandal, still saw a one-percent increase while Ford dropped six percent in year-over-year sales. Chrysler was the big winner, though, with a nine-percent jump in June.

Forza Horizon announces January Recaro Car Pack with LFA N"urburgring Edition

Wed, 26 Dec 2012

Another month, another car pack for Forza Horizon. This time it's the Recaro Car Pack featuring a motley gang of cars and trucks: the 1983 GMC Vandura G-1500, 1995 Ford Mustang Cobra R, 2012 Cadillac Escalade ESV, 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLR, 2012 Lexus LFA Nürburgring Edition and 2012 Lotus Exige S.
It'll be up for download on Xbox Live on Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013 for 400 MS Points. As usual, if you have the Forza Horizon Season Pass you can get them all free, and Season Pass holders will also get a bonus car that's not pictured: the 2009 Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster.
The Pagani is everything opposite to that Vandura, but while you might not ever win anything with the van, you can always use the back of it as a place to give out free hugs. Check out the video and press release below for more details.

11 vehicles from Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas worth watching

Fri, 26 Sep 2014

This weekend will see the world's collector car crowds descend on Las Vegas, NV for one of the biggest shows on Barrett-Jackson's popular auction circuit. There are hundreds of vehicles up for bidding, ranging from a brand-new Lamborghini Aventador to a spattering of Art Deco classics and a huge swath of classic muscle cars.
While it's virtually impossible to assemble an inarguable list of the best cars coming during the three-day, 700-plus vehicle auction, we've sifted through the listings for this year's show - it was a tough assignment, we promise - and assembled a list of what we think will be some of the most interesting lots. We'll admit, it's a bit heavy on American iron, but if you browse BJ's listings, you'll come to a similar conclusion. Still, scroll down for our list of what we think will be the most interesting vehicles at the upcoming auction.
