Have you noticed that these early Broncos are only increasing in value? The first generation of the early Bronco was built from 1966-1977, with a total of 225,585 produced. U13 Roadsters like this one were only built in '66, '67, and '68, with a total of only 5000 built over that 3-year production run. According to Bronco experts, there are less than 200 in existence today, and perhaps only 50 or so in restored every day driver condition. After 15 years together, I just learned that Ol' Blue is even more rare than I knew.  VIN indicates that Blue came off the line in September (second month of production) and the very rare ' EYEBROW ' GRILL & TAILGATE confirm that.   

'Ol Blue is the real deal. I am selling a TRUE U13 bronco built in 1966 and as a bonus you get the hard top and doors.   I REALLY hate to get rid of 'Ol Blue, but I need cash to further develop my evolutionary website . Feel free to check it out and preregister AdFor.US. We will be launching Globally later this year.   I don't have to sell Blue.  But If I don't sell, I will have to delay  AdFor.US  for a couple of months and work to earn the money to finish patenting and development.  

I purchased this truck in Georgia (no salt or snow) 15 years ago and have driven it across the country a couple of times. Blue is my daily driver and has been for nearly 6 months and 12 states.  After 8 years (mostly garaged in Nebraska, we drove up to Seattle, Washington (add 5 states).  We are on our way to Florida now, with a few quick stops.  Most of the work i've done to Blue is in the under carriage & externally. HOOKER HEADERS, with dual mufflers,  FRONT DISK BRAKES, Wild Horses 3.5 inch ROCK CRAWLER 11PACK LEAF SPRINGS, RANCHO 9000 five way ADJUSTABLE shocks all the way around. 23 GALLON STEEL FUEL TANK, matched Drop Pitman, Poly Urethane Bushings and Newish- 1yr-OPTIMA YELLOWTOP BATTERY (recharge even if 2VDC--Awesome!) I have also installed new upper and lower door rubbers. The rear driveshaft was custom reinforced by Atlanta Drive line. The front driveshaft is not sold with the truck as I lost it in one of my moves. I had a rubber undercoating sprayed on more than 10 years ago and it is still protecting very well.Less than 2k miles ago i added 2 brand new BF Goodrich A/Ts to the Hankooks (with 85% good tread)  on clean alloy rims. 

Original Floor pans and door jams are still about 96% there and can hold my 225lbs standing on them. I thought about patching the floor pan seams, but seeing them as they are is a testament to how well this 47 year old stallion is. Original Rocker and quarter panels are better than 99%. TRULY, THERE IS NO VISIBLE RUST ON THIS TRUCK!  I have parked this truck 3 times for more than a year and it's '69 Fairlane 302 V8 started right up. I have a double barrel Edelbrock carb on it, for fuel efficiency. In the last 6 months I have added or replaced:

65Kv H.E.I. distributor, 8mm wires & plugs 
New 3 core, Triple Flow aluminum radiator. 
Water Pump
Heavy Duty Clutch
Heavy Duty Dual Timing chain (Comp Cams) 
New calipers and pads 
New chrome power brake booster
New heater control valve
Upgraded (blade fused) wiring
Wiper Arms
Carpet

Also, I just had a new rust protective coating sprayed on the undercarriage, in engine compartment, in cargo area, inside hard-top, under hood and inside quarter panels. I have included some prep pictures to show how clean the oem metal really is underneath the 8y/o paintjob.
 
Ol' Blues' engine purrs like a lion. It was rebuilt just before I purchased and has been driven less than 15k since.  (Updated--  Installed new dual timing chain 08 February 2013-   [which means fresh engine paint, new oil, new coolant.]  Check out the pictures and video on facebook @ Bronco N Buck.) He's quick and nimble.  I JUST POSTED ON THE ROAD PICTURES on the fb page.  See for yourself what Blue can do!

This truck is 75% done. Only easy stuff left to do. What it needs- (optional) power steering ** complete kit on ebay right now for $600 ** , a/c, wheel spacers, new fender flares (or repair the ones that are included with truck) and Paint, ( note- after loading Blue down for the move to Florida, I noticed the drivers side rear spring and shock appear to be sagging and causing the tailgate to separate from the quarter panel and the back window is unable to latch because of this gap. The shock is under warranty.  I hope to have this resolved when I get to Omaha. I can only budget one repair/ upgrade at a time and this week I purchased windshield wipers to allow me to get through the mountain passes.)  

This IS a fantastic and rare investment. In ten years it will double in value.  It doesn't get better than this, put your tax return to good use.  EBR is becoming more and more popular.   We have 3 stops lined up en-route to Nebraska for potential buyers.  We are traveling on I-84 , I-680 through Yakima, southern Idaho, N. Utah, Wyoming, Denver,  I have had Blue listed on ebay for two weeks and we had over 6000 page views and 120 watchers in 14 days....  DON'T MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY!!!  I have had 7 best offers, 5 trade offers and Blue was even sold once at full asking price, but buyers finances fell short.   PLEASE HAVE YOUR FINANCES READY BEFORE YOU BID!! 

Extras that are included:
Doors, Steel Hard Top, Push Bar (original add-on), Rubber Cargo Mat, Dual CB Antenna's. Heavy duty Safari (cargo) roof rack and ladder. (500lbs), bikini top. I will also drop ship the original front seats and rear bench if I get my asking price.  (the driver seat leans, but all seats are otherwise in good condition), Foam headliner pad. 1965 FoMoCo radio

Thanks for looking!

Currently,  we just left Seattle this morning 4/15 and expect to be in Omaha, Nebraska  by the expiration of this listing.   I am willing to drive Blue ANYWHERE in the Continental United States for an extra $1k or less (depending on where).  

I recently started a facebook page for Blue and I, where you can see a couple of pictures and follow our moves.  Check it out and 'like' our page-- Bronco N Buck.    


Call Joel @ 402-210-9568 

(fyi)  I know people are trying to put the cash together for Blue, but you have to hurry.   If this listing goes much longer,  I will have more time by then to make and add videos and get much better photos.  I believe Blue to be worth at least $2k more than I have him listed for and when I find the time to get picture of Blue of a lift, videos, etc --- I WILL INCREASE THE PRICE.  Give me a call and let's see what we can work out. 

Jeep & Bronco people wave to each other when passing on the roadways...

Ford Mustang to get four-cylinder in Europe, but not US

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

Fans of the Ford Mustang SVO, which was produced from 1884 through 1986 with a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine and a manual transmission, may be interested to know that Ford is reportedly going to introduce something similar for 2015. But don't get too excited if you live in the US, as Edmunds reports that the vehicle will be offered in Europe only. Boo!
According to the report, Ford will put a version of its EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder into the engine bay of the Mustang. The engine would be enlarged from its current 2.0 liters to 2.3 liters, taking horsepower from 252 to around 300. The well-known 5.0 V8 engine will also be available in Europe.
"The Mustang is uniquely Ford and has a huge fan base here in Europe. Now those fans have something to look forward to and we look forward to providing more details in the near future," says Ford of Europe CEO Stephen Odell. That's great... but why not offer buyers in the States the (likely) fuel-efficient turbo option, too?

Watch Piquet and Mansell bend some sheetmetal in Ford Fusion GP

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

As we told you about before, there were four episodes planned for the Ford Fusion GP campaign in Brazil, and the whole series has now run its course. The Ford ads pit Brazilian Formula One driver Nelson Piquet against English F1 pilot Nigel Mansell driving the new Fusion, the two coming together again after their partnership at the Williams F1 team ended in a miserable state more than 20 years ago.
They're lined up for you below, in reverse chronological order. You should watch number three first, though, as it adds a bit more spice to the NASCAR action in the fourth.

Ford Mustang GT Bi-Fuel CNG

Tue, 23 Jul 2013

Highly intrigued, we recently visited a Southern California Gas Company office to check out several hybrid vehicles promising something new. Unlike more commonplace gasoline-electric hybrids, we were there to evaluate innovative gasoline-compressed natural gas (CNG) hybrids - yes, they run on unleaded gasoline and compressed natural gas. According to the experts on hand, this arrangement delivers extended range and reduced emissions while chipping in with lower operating costs than pure-gasoline vehicles. There are advantages over its gasoline-electric counterparts, as well.
The program is part of a three-way collaboration between The Carlab, a Southern California-based automotive consulting firm, Landi Renzo USA, a company specializing in alternative fuel solutions, and America's Natural Gas Alliance, a group that promotes CNG. Long story short, the team has engineered a way to allow a modified internal combustion vehicle to seamlessly switch between two fuels (gasoline and CNG) with no driver intervention. In theory, and if it works as well as promised, it's a win-win for the vehicle owner and the environment.
Parked at the Gas Company office were six different gasoline-CNG hybrid vehicles. To demonstrate the technology's versatility (just about any gasoline vehicle may be modified) Carlab brought a varied assortment of bodystyles, each from a different automaker. After taking a quick glance at the half-dozen in the parking lot, we made a beeline for the performance-oriented Ford Mustang GT - a 2012 model - with the six-speed manual gearbox.
