LOW RESERVE 1971 FORD BRONCO SPORT
The truck was painted and restored in 2004 and has been mostly garage kept since. The restoration was not a perfect or complete restoration, the body work is not perfect, and the paint is not perfect. It was designed to be a driver for nice days and for the beach. I drive the truck with historic tags. It starts every time and drivetrain is very strong. The bronco is actually a combination of two different trucks. The chassis is a 1975 and the body is a 1972. The 1975 chassis and drivertrain has only ~40,000 miles on it but the body required significant rust repair so it was swapped with a more solid 1972 body. The chassis was sanded and painted with POR15 and shows very minimal rust. The body has had several panels replaced. The door posts and jams are rusted and would need to be replaced to put original Bronco doors on it. The truck already has the door inserts, so if you require a top a soft top and soft doors would probably be best. The truck runs very strong. The brakes need to be adjusted and it would need taillight repair to make it a nice beach/ nice weather vehicle. I would consider it a good daily driver at the beach or during nice weather if the truck had its brakes tuned, the steering linkage stabilizer bushings replaced, and taillight/blinker repair; which, is work that should be pretty minor. MECHANICAL 302 V8 Motor, 4 Barrel Holley Carburetor, Street Avenger Intake Manifold, 3 Speed Manual Transmission, New wiring harness, clutch, and brake lines in 2004. Power Steering BODY The body is solid but the body work and paint are not perfect. Truck was painted in 2004. 33x13.5x15 super swampers with Mickey Thompson classic two aluminum wheels. 3" Suspension Lift Please see walk-around videos below.

Ford hybrids getting update to improve fuel economy
Tue, 16 Jul 2013Ford has announced that it is introducing "calibration updates designed to improve on-road fuel economy for owners of the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid, 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid and 2013 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid."
We can speculate that these changes are at least due in part to lawsuits over mileage claims of hybrid vehicles. The automaker is enhancing 2013 models starting in August by raising their electric cruising speed to 85 miles per hour from 62 mph, optimizing the use of active grille shutters and the climate control system, shortening the engine warm-up period by 50 percent and reducing electric fan speed to minimize the fan's energy consumption.
It bears mentioning that Ford is doing pretty well in the US electrified vehicle market this year. The company claims to have grown its share in the segment by 12 points to 16 percent while taking a high number of Toyota Prius trade-ins in the process. Conversely, Toyota has experienced a five-percent drop in new-Prius sales over the same period. Additionally, Ford states that it has increased its share of the US vehicle market by one percent this year, more than any full-line automaker.
Lego provides one of the cheapest ways to own a Bugatti Chiron
Tue, Jan 3 2017Just over a month ago, we got a look at one of the latest Lego Speed Champions sets when Ford revealed the GT and GT40 kit. Now we get to see the rest of the lineup, and it's chock full of F1 and supercar goodness. The official Lego images show that the Bugatti Chiron, Mercedes-AMG GT3, Ferrari FXX K, and F1 cars from Ferrari and Mercedes all made the cut. Each set gets some unique features and most include interchangeable wheel covers. The Chiron comes with some tiny cones suitable for desk slaloms and the Mercedes-AMG GT3 gets an alternate nose. The FXX K comes has the most impressive selection of accessories, though, as it includes a dyno and engine run stand. The F1 sets are divided similarly, but with Mercedes getting more extras. The Brick Fan also reports that the Mercedes kit may be exclusive to select stores. The Ferrari kit only comes with a starting light, but the Mercedes set includes a garage, starting lights, and winner's circle. It'll be up to you whether you put Hamilton or Rosberg in that winner's circle. According to The Brick Fan, these kits are set for release in winter 2017. Since the Ford GT set has a release of March 1, we expect the rest will hit stores in the next couple of months. They're sure to be great additions to anyone's existing Lego garage.

Riding along in Ford's bonkers Fiesta ST Global RallyCross car [w/video]
Wed, 28 Aug 2013
The Mountune-worked Fiesta ST GRC does 0-to-60 mph in 1.9 seconds.
On any given day, and every single weekend, there's at least one parking in the country invaded by manufacturer and team trucks. The be-chromed beasts and their 53-foot trailers are slotted into rows, men and women decorate the lot with orange cones to mark the invisible tracery of a temporary track, cars get unloaded, crews fret over them. The ritual can be as beautiful as the sunrise to those with enthusiast hearts, but it's just as common.
