Early Ford Bronco on 2040-cars
Lancaster, Ohio, United States
This is a 1974 early Ford Bronco. It is full of rust and in desperate need of a rebuild :-) I simply do not have the time. What I've done to it so far is rebuild the four-wheel-drive hubs put good rims and tires on it, tune it up with new spark plugs and wires, new battery, alternator, air filter, oil change and filter, carburetor rebuild, and new brakes. This Bronco still has the drum brakes. It has two gas tanks but I've only used one, the indicators on the dash do not work. It does have Monroe shocks that do work, and a PTO Drive that operates a wench, plow, and log splitter that comes with this auction. The log splitter is very unique, it attaches where the plow goes, it needs new hydraulic hoses. The four wheel drive works and the frame is in pretty good condition. It needs new door posts, floor panels, and a crapload of bodywork. Although, the top and the hood are in pretty good condition. It has the straight 6 179 cubic inch engine. It has no power but plenty of torque. As you can see from the pictures it is 3 speed on the floor. It gets driven once a week for half an hour. I am willing to deliver it within a reasonable distance. But you will probably want to come look it over and drive it for yourself. Good luck, thanks for looking. Also, eBay would only let me post 12 pictures, I have plenty more I can email to you if you'd like to see them. Someone requested my phone number earlier because they wanted to ask questions about the Bronco, my phone number is 740 438 7276. I will be at work until 4 o'clock tomorrow, feel free to call after that. Or text anytime, and I will reply after 4 o'clock. Thanks again for looking. If you happen to see this posted yesterday it's because ebay removed it because I posted it using their mobile app and it messed up...they told me the mobile app couldn't post vehicles, just a little info for ya.

Ford exec downplays idea of aluminum-intensive cars
Thu, Jan 15 2015Ford certainly made waves when it rolled out the all-new 2015 F-150 made primarily out of aluminum. But while trimming weight off its vehicles is a top priority for the Detroit automaker, we shouldn't expect the lightweight metal to be used as widely on passenger cars as it has been on its new pickup. Speaking at the Automotive News World Congress on Wednesday, top Ford exec Joe Hinrichs said that using aluminum in passenger cars isn't as beneficial as it is in trucks – primarily because the weight savings isn't as dramatic, or as deeply needed. Though improved fuel economy is certainly one advantage of aluminum construction in a truck like the F-150, low prices at the pump have prompted Ford to highlight another advantage, and that's capability: With less weight on its own, a lighter-weight truck can carry and tow more than a heavier one, because it all comes down to combined weight ratings. Ford is expected to make the new F-Series Super Duty largely out of aluminum for the same reasons, and we wouldn't be surprised to see the next Expedition use the material as well. But while certain components in Ford passenger cars will be made of aluminum, we shouldn't expect entire chassis and bodywork assemblies to use the material as extensively as on the F-150, or on more upscale passenger cars from the likes of Audi or Jaguar. Dearborn is, however, investing in other lightweight materials. It has a joint venture with Dow Chemical to put carbon fiber into mass production, much as BMW has with its i3. The Blue Oval will use a combination of carbon and aluminum on its 2017 GT supercar, and it has stripped weight by removing amenities from the 2016 Mustang GT350R, but apparently neither is a method Ford can practically apply to its volume models.

EU formally questions French government assistance of Peugeot's finance arm
Fri, 28 Dec 2012Recently, the finance arm of PSA/Peugeot-Citroën was in such debt trouble that it was pricing itself out of the car loan market. The rates it was paying to service its debt, which was rated one step above junk, were so high that it was forced to charge car-buying customers higher rates than they could find elsewhere. This was adding to Peugeot's already impressive woes by sending revenue out the door to competitors.
Two months ago a deal was worked out with the French government whereby the state would provide 7 billion euro ($9 billion USD) in bonds to guarantee the finance arm's loans. The French government could nominate someone to join the Peugeot board, Peugeot would guarantee more French jobs, and on top of that deal, other banks would provide non-guaranteed loans. The government would take no equity stake in the car company.
Although not yet finalized, the arrangement is meant to create some breathing room for Peugeot Finance to lower its interest rates for customers, and a government-nominated board member, Louis Gallois, was recently named to Peugeot's supervisory board. The arrangement was also openly questioned by at least three competitors: Ford, Renault - which is 15-percent owned by the French government after it received state aid - and the German state of Lower Saxony, itself a 15-percent shareholder in Volkswagen.
Ford wants to double hybrid offerings by 2020
Wed, Jan 15 2014The Blue Oval is looking for folks on the other side of this Big Old Sphere to get on board with its hybrid offerings. Ford executive Raj Nair, speaking at the Detroit Auto Show this week, said the US automaker wants to double the number of hybrids models it offers by the end of the decade, Reuters reports. Details of what that actually means is anyone's guess, as it was unclear how many of those models would be in the US and how many would be overseas. That said, Nair did say that prospective customers in regions such as China and Europe would drive the expansion of offerings. Ford got off to a great start in the US last year on its hybrid sales, but then tailed off towards the end of 2013. Ford more than doubled its green-car sales in 2013 to almost 88,000 units. In that number were more than 37,000 Fusion Hybrids and more than 28,000 C-Max Hybrids sold domestically. The company also sold almost 7,500 Lincoln MKZ Hybrids. Ford's green-car totals for 2013 were up fivefold at the mid-year point, hinting that Ford's hybrid sales plateaued, at least temporarily, in recent months.
