Silver Anniversary Edition Excellent Condition Runs Great Mostly Original Rare. on 2040-cars
Gladwin, Michigan, United States
I have a very nice SAE Bronco for sale. It is one of only 3000 made, they came in only one color and fully loaded. There was only a couple of options, one was the 5.8 L engine which this truck has, and I have seen one that had a grey cloth interior instead of the standard leather interior. There were a lot of firsts with this model; 1st year for leather interior, 1st year for color matched fiberglass top, 1st year for color matched body side moldings, 1st year for color matched bumper inserts front and rear.
This truck spent it's whole life in Florida until I bought it approximately three years ago and brought it to Michigan. It has never been driven in the salt, stored in a heated pole barn in the winter months. Exhaust: Shorty headers with Flow Masters and side exiting exhaust pipes. This vehicle had 96,000 miles on it when I bought it and it now has only 98,124 miles. Paint wise it is mostly original with repaint on hood and top due to sunburn. There is no rust underneath or in the body, it is as clean underneath as on the top. The interior is excellent the rear seat is original with one very small flaw, the front seats have been recovered and look great. It just had a complete carpet set installed and looks great. Headliner has been replaced. All plastic door panels,side trim panels are in great shape. The bed liner trim on the tailgate is just velcroed on to protect the tailgate paint from damage. I also have a cut down S10 bed liner that will fit in the back with the seat folded up. This truck sat for several years before I bought it which caused some leaking issues . I replaced the oil sending unit, resealed the dipstick tube and replaced the valve cover gaskets. It also had a small leak at the transmission front pump seal. I added some Lucus transmission additive and it seems to be slowing down the leak, but I just don't drive it enough (less than 1000 miles a year) so it hasn't been driven enough to give the additive a chance to seal the leak. All three moveable windows need new inner and outer felt seals (Dry rotted) This truck comes with a lot of spare parts most of which are specific to the SAE model. There are enough parts to fill a pickup bed. Extra dash board Extra center console Extra drivers seat (needs to be recovered) Extra rear seat (needs to be recovered) Extra rear side panel with interior light (Driver's side) Extra rear side window trim Extra rear glass with defroster grid Extra rear window motor and arms Extra front and rear floor mats with SAE logo Extra interior door trim panels Extra SAE badges inside and out Extra color matched body side moldings Extra rear bumper inserts color matched Extra tail gate stainless steel trim panel with reflector |

Rare Ford Mustang ASC McLaren is a piece of '80s history
Wed, Jun 1 2016You can't blame the dealer for advertising this oddball convertible as a "Ford Mustang McLaren." The name certainly rolls off the tongue better than "Ford Mustang ASC McLaren," and it makes the car sound a whole lot more appealing. However, without the 'ASC' in there, you don't get the full picture. And when it comes to the world of strange automotive collaborations—particularly those of the 80s—you most definitely want the full picture. ASC McLaren Mustangs were the result of fortuitous timing, and a project that was already underway between the American Sunroof Company and McLaren (no, not that McLaren). Detroit custom car builder Peter Muscat brought the idea of a Mustang with a tonneau cover to ASC after chopping the top off a Fox body on his own, and in turn ASC founder Heinz Pretcher brought the concept to Ford. Big blue was already in the midst of relaunching a Mustang convertible, which had been absent from the lineup for 10 years, so initially it was the Mercury Capri that got the ASC/McLaren treatment. The result was a car that was more expensive than a Mustang GT, and coupled with declining sales of the Capri overall, the car was discontinued in 1986, paving the way for the ASC McLaren Mustang you see here on eBay. With the change over to the Mustang as their platform for modification in 1987, ASC McLaren were given the opportunity to create something notable. Customizing the Capri was one thing, but the Mustang name carries with it iconic status. So what did ASC McLaren do with their chance to leave their mark on automotive history? They gave the car some visual modifications, both inside and out, but like the Capri, left the powertrain untouched. Also like the Capri, the cars still ended up costing more than $20,000. Between the high price, the economic woes of the late 80s, and disputes between Muscat and Pretcher, the ASC McLaren Mustangs were no more by 1990. During the three year run, 1,806 ASC McLaren conversions were completed, making them quite rare, especially low mileage examples like this one. The 5.0 V8s are known for being stout engines, capable of handling serious modification, and logging lots of miles, so there are no concerns there. The 5-speed Borg-Warner transmission that came in all Mustang GTs is also known for being a durable unit, the '87-'90 versions especially so. The main concern here would be the life the car has lived, and more importantly where it has lived.
European jury picks finalists for 2015 Car of the Year
Tue, Dec 16 2014There are countless Car of the Year awards handed out each year, and naturally, Europe has its own way of doing things. Every year, a panel of jurists representing seven publications in seven different languages and seven different countries get together to name their joint Car of the Year. The panel released a list of 32 candidates back in July, and it has now whittled that list down to seven nominees. The list consists of the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, the Citroen C4 Cactus (shown), the Ford Mondeo, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, the Nissan Qashqai, the Renault Twingo and the Volkswagen Passat. Of those seven, only two are available in the US – those being the Mondeo (sold Stateside as the Fusion) and the C-Class. The Passat is an entirely different model in North America, the Qashqai isn't offered here, Citroen and Renault don't even participate in our market and the BMW 2 Series is represented here only by the completely different coupe and convertible. Expect the one and only recipient of the 2015 Car of the Year award to be announced at the Geneva Motor Show this coming March, and while you're waiting, you can place your guesses for the eventual winner in Comments.

Verizon buys Telogis in connected vehicle market push
Wed, Jun 22 2016(Note/disclaimer: We are owned by Verizon, by way of AOL. This gives us no inside track whatsoever when it comes to news.) With a lot of tech companies and automakers staking their claims in the connected car space, now there are signs that others are looking to move in, too. Today, telecoms giant Verizon announced that it is acquiring Telogis, a California-based company that develops cloud-based solutions for mobile workforces, and specifically telematics, compliance and navigation software used by Ford, Volvo, GM and other car companies, as well as Apple and AT&T. Financial terms of the deal have not been disclosed, although we'll try to find out. Considering that Verizon in 2015 reported full-year revenues of $131.6 billion, the price would have to be very high to be considered "material" and may not be made public for some time, if ever. Telogis in its time as a startup raised a substantial amount of money, just over $126 million in all, including $93 million in 2013, supposedly ahead of an IPO, all from Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers. Back in 2013 when KPCB made its investment (which was the first from a VC firm in the company), Telogis told TechCrunch it was profitable and forecasting revenues of $100 million annually for the year. It's not clear what size those revenues are now, but if it was on the same growth trajectory as before the funding, sales would be around $150 million annually, with profitability, at the moment. Other investors include some very notable strategics: the investment arm of General Motors, and Fontinalis Partners, which also invests in Lyft and was co-founded by Bill Ford, the executive chairman of the Ford Motor Company. Before the acquisition, Verizon actually had a business in fleet management and telematics; in fact, the two companies competed against each other for business from the trucking and other industries. Verizon Telematics, as the business is called, is active in 40 countries. But in a way, Verizon buying Telogis is a sign that the latter may have proved to be the more superior, and the one with the key customer deals.
