You are bidding on a beautiful 1967 early bronco with the legendary 289 mated up to a Ford AOD 4 speed automatic overdrive transmission that has undergone a restoration within the past year. Some items covered in this restoration were engine and suspension work, metal work, new paint and various other odds and ends that will be described in the next few paragraphs. Included with the sale is a 1967 Bronco specific shop manual as well as receipts that date back to 2007 spanning 3 owners. I purchased this vehicle back in November of 2012, the odometer at the time of purchase
was 62,954 although I suspect it has rolled over. Ive put 5400 miles myself since having
the gauge cluster rebuilt. In 2011, at
approximately 57,000 miles the previous owner had the engine rebuilt and added a few power options to include; 351 cam,
roller rockers, installed new edelbrock performer intake and 1403 electric
choke carburetor, headers, starter, spark plugs and wires, air cleaner,
etc. New 3.5 inch lift and extended
radius arms, as well as new rebuild kits for the axles and new gaskets for the
differentials. Installed a used AOD with
an advance adapter kit. New gas tank with sender. Class 2 hitch. Stainless steel quick release door hinges. Floor and rust
repair and upgraded front Chevy disc brakes, 15 inch black daytona wheels with 33x12.5 Toyo MT open country, to name a few. When I picked up the Bronco back in 2012 it was having transmission and electrical problems. Transmission issues were due to a cracked case and an incorrect rebuild which caused the trans to slip at low rpms and shift hard at high rpms. I spent $2700 to find and rebuild a whole new AOD case over at Advance Automatics in El Cajon, CA. The day I got the Bronco back with the fresh trans I took it for a drive only to have it break down on me as a bundle of wires caught fire under the dashboard. That's when I decided to build my own harness keeping only a few of the stock wires that were untouched. About 90% of the wires from the firewall forward are new. What started as a simple daily driver build turned into a continued restoration. Since ive owned the Bronco here is a short list of work ive done, any work outsourced was performed at Advance automatics or Beach city broncos in El Cajon. All parts purchased were from well known vendors such as; Wild Horses, LMC truck, BC broncos, James Duff, CJ pony parts, Jegs, Summit, Oreillys, etc... Within past year: Various door, tailgate, hood gasket sets and seals Rebuilt carburetor Rebuilt AOD transmission with correct advance adapter
case. $2700.00 - case and rebuild / $634.00 Advance adapter kit New flow kooler water pump and robert shaw high flow thermostat New old stock timing cover with gasket New power steering pump, pulley, belt, and hoses New 1 wire alternator New old stock fan shroud New fuel filter and hoses New spark plugs New upper and lower radiator hoses with lower anti-compression spring New vacuum hoses, PCV valve Rebuilt distributor, installed pertronix II electronic ignition Flamethrower II coil New H4 headlamps, wire harness fused and relayed New horn Most wires under dash replaced Rebuilt gauge cluster Installed Autometer water temp gauge Installed but not wired in Autometer oil press gauge Recovered front and rear stock seats in black leather/gray fabric, drivers seat has 1/4 tear New paint, paint supplies total $1000 alone without labor Undercoat interior floor Lizard skin + undercoat underside floor Undercoat inside of doors + 3M wax spray in doors and rockers New front and rear chrome bumpers and side view mirrors BC Broncos media console w/IPOD hookup and speaker 90's ranger steering colum with working intermittent wipers, horn, etc. all electric works Bronco custom car cover Painted but not installed classic bubble scoop New speedometer cable, gauge speed is accurate New e-brake cable, parking brake springs New tailgate silencer Cutout fender heat exchanger
Within past 4 months: New BC Broncos soft top. Side windows and rear are removable to run as a Safari top. $1600 after shipping New power brake booster with proportioning valve New James duff steering dampner New DOT approved front 3 point seatbelts and 2 point rear
belts (Not cheap, DOT legal in all 50 states) New valve cover gaskets Readjusted roller rockers New fuel pump and hoses Repainted engine in correct Ford blue New DOT approved windshield There are various other odds and ends I have fixed. I also still have some parts on order. For example, ive cleaned and rebuilt the
original WARN hubs but they continue to stick so I have brand new WARN premium
hubs being shipped. Waiting on 2 tie rod
rebuilt kits and stop lamp switch. Ordered aftermarket 3 spoke steering wheel and momo adapter hub. With all the work that has been completed please keep in
mind this is a 47 year old vehicle and it should be driven as such. In the past 2 years I've only put approximately 5400 miles because my job keeps me away. I hate to see this one go but Im only selling this to
fund a family wagon overland build. This
is not a concourse level restoration but it is very nice as I get compliments
everywhere I go. I built this rig
exactly as I wanted. While I was
stationed in Port Hueneme I drove this vehicle every other week from Port
Hueneme to San Diego, a 180 mile trip one way without issue. Im now stationed in Mississippi and use this
as my daily driver. It has performed flawlessly thru Los Angeles traffic in 90 degree weather, and thru the snow packed woods in 28 degree winter weather in Gulfport. If you have further questions or would like to check out the vehicle in person feel free to contact me. I can also give you my screen name on classicbroncos.com so you can see every issue ive had since taking ownership. The odometer reading will fluctuate as this is my daily driver. That being said there are subtle rock chips and wear tear blemishes from being driven that I am currently taking care of. As stated above, I installed a new DOT approved windshield this past weekend to replace the cracked one it came with. This vehicle is being sold "as-is" with NO warranty either expressed or implied. I reserve the right to end this auction early in the event it sells before the auction ends. Offers are welcome but please no trades. Only payments accepted are cash in hand or wire transfer from your bank directly to mine. I bank with Wells Fargo.

New Forza 6 car pack will let you race the Pontiac Aztek
Fri, Jan 29 2016Just in time for this weekend's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona, the new Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6 on the Xbox One lets you slip into the driver's seat of last year's winner. If you want to take something much weirder for a spin, the collection also includes a 2005 Pontiac Aztek. The download is available now for $6.99. The Ford #02 Chip Ganassi Racing Riley Mk XXVI Daytona was in a four-car battle early in last year's race, but it eventually was victorious. Forza Motorsport 6 also challenges drivers who download the car to a new Rivals event around Daytona, and the fastest people could win Alpinestars prizes. If you're nostalgic for a classic Daytona racecar, this pack includes Mercury #15 Whistler Radar Cougar XR-7. The V8-powered beast won the IMSA GTO class in the 24-hour event in 1990. It should be fun around the game's longer road courses like Road Atlanta. This collection also has an eclectic mix of vehicles that aren't racecars. The controversial Aztek and the equally-controversial 1996 Subaru SVX take their places beside a lineup that offers drivers three eras of performance cars – a 1967 Sunbeam Tiger, 1974 Toyota Corolla SR5, and 1992 Alfa Romeo Milano Quadrifoglio Verde. The video below shows all of them in action. Race to the Finish Line with the Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6 By Xbox Wire Staff posted on January 27, 2016 at 8:00 am With the racing season set to kick into full gear during this weekend's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona race, Forza fans now have a chance to get their own taste of endurance racing glory with the Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6, available on Thursday, Jan. 28. Leading off the pack of seven cars is last year's 24 Hours of Daytona winner, the 2015 Ford #02 Chip Ganassi Racing Riley Mk XXVI Daytona Prototype. The prototype will be fielded in this weekend's race, which begins at 2 p.m. EST on Saturday, Jan. 30 and can be viewed live on Fox Sports 1 in the U.S. The Alpinestars Car Pack features six additional cars, each with a unique pedigree all its own. From the 1990 Mercury #15 Whistler Radar Cougar XR-7 – also a competitor in Daytona 24 Hour events of years past – to the inimitable 2005 Pontiac Aztek (famous more for its fictional owner than its performance), this pack has something for every kind of car fan. Forza Motorsport 6 is the only game where players can drive last year's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona winner on the recently remodeled Daytona International Speedway.
How Ford switched gears for the all-new F-150
Fri, Mar 6 2015Editor's Note: This story is authored by Julia Halewicz, a senior editor with AOL's Custom Solutions Group. She holds a Masters in Journalism from NYU and has spent her career as an editor of various newspapers, magazines and digital outlets. Last year on the Friday before Labor Day, the 2014 Ford F-150 pickup truck came off the Dearborn assembly line for the last time. After the last seam was welded, the F-150 that had been so beloved by American consumers would begin the transition from traditional steel manufacturing to an aluminum body, and the second phase of Ford's 2007 blueprint for sustainability would begin. Jobs would be created, and Ford would deliver a stronger product to its consumers. It was a moment Ford would call the biggest in the company's 111-year history. Breaking The Mold For some, the change was almost unfathomable. How could a truck be made with aluminum, and why change what clearly was working very well for the company? "We have a saying at Ford that leaders lead," said Doug Scott, the company's truck group marketing manager. "This was an ideal product to make with aluminum-alloy, because lightweighting made so much sense for a truck, because the extent to which you could take weight out of a truck, you could add more value to the customer in terms of more towing, more payload, more durability, more efficiency – so again all this required us to be out in front further out in front that we normally would be to make sure that we would deliver on all those expectations." Ford began the planning process about five years before the first aluminum F-150 would come to market. The company had a lot of questions. What was customer acceptance of aluminum, could they build the truck, and could the truck be repaired out in the field? Finally, Ford needed to determine if there were enough materials available to support the demand for the F-Series. Aluminum vehicles aren't unusual, but had never been built on the scale of the F-150 – approximately one every minute. Ford created two prototypes to determine if the product would meet and exceed consumer expectations. Any change to the vehicle had to be justified in performance, safety and economy. An aluminum truck needed to be safer, lighter, have increased payload, haul more, and have improved fuel efficiency. After driving the prototypes, Ford knew it was ready to move forward. Once the aluminum truck was ready to build, the next challenge was quickly transforming the plant.
Honda giving away free Civics in Forza Horizon to celebrate launch
Wed, 16 Jan 2013Just a friendly reminder from Honda: The Honda Challenge Pack DLC is now available for Forza Horizon. To reward you for the trouble of pressing a few buttons on your Xbox controller, you'll get the 2013 Honda Civic Coupe, an HPD Rally Fit and a 1986 Honda Civic Si Coupe in your garage, and you'll get them free. The event of the new DLC has also kicked off a photo contest that will reward someone with an Xbox 360 console wrapped in a Honda Civic Si theme.
Otherwise, the word "Challenge" keeps coming up because of the chance to run an online race against IndyCar driver Scott Dixon. The track for that digital throwdown has already been decided by Xbox players who voted before January 8. Yet it's not too late to hop into the Honda section in Xbox Live and lay down a time fast enough for a shot at the title "The Driver That Shellacked Scott Dixon," and meeting the man in person.
Check out the press release from Honda below, and the sweetness that is the 1986 Civic Si in the gallery above.
