Uncut 1968 Ford Bronco 289 V-8 91k Miles on 2040-cars
Cedar Park, Texas, United States
|
First, look at all the Broncos that have cut rear fenders. I'm guessing 75% have the rear fenders cut. This is a restored 1968 Ford Bronco. This is not a frame off restoration but is very well done. 289 V-8 with 91,000 (believed to be original) miles. Rebuilt engine at 85,389 bored out .30 over (tried .10 but could not get the back cylinders perfectly round). No performance parts were installed, only tried to bring it back to factory condition. 3 speed manual transmission that shifts and pulls excellent. Clutch replaced and pressure plate resurfaced at 81,000 miles. 4x4 works fine and the truck is a serious head turner. Replaced both fuel tanks with polyethylene tanks and new sending units. Interior finished in original style and material. Frame cleaned, Loctite Rust Extend applied (not rusty, just precautionary), painted black. Floor pans are original and only had some small pinholes that were tack welded before front section was sprayed with bedliner. Interior rear section had no problems (not so much as a dent) and was only painted. Floor heat shield/matting applied before new carpet was installed. Truck is painted in the correct, original 1968 Ford Meadowlark Yellow as determined by the VIN in 2011. New door handles, door mirrors, lenses were installed. 3 core aluminum radiator installed. New fuel pump, carburetor, oil pump and water pump at time of engine rebuild. Power disk brake conversion installed in 2009 but master cylinder has leaked and caused paint to come off the fender as seen in the pictures. Flow Masters Dual exhaust and power disk brake conversion are the only items not original to the truck. It has a manual choke (I preferred this set up versus an auto choke on the carburetor). Fuel gauge does not work but it has two fuel tanks. I fill up when one runs out so I never worry about the gauge working. Vacuum wipers weak so I would replace with an electric conversion. Most of the interior knobs and cables have been replaced. New Goodyear Wrangler 235/75 15 tires with less than 1,000 miles. One small oil leak from dipstick tube in oil pan. I have owned this truck for 12 years and slowly had much of the work completed. It has a full hard top in very good condition but I did not restore it since I leave the Bronco in the garage with the top off. I still have some extra replacement parts as I bought more than one of many items such as door seals. I have the original front drums if you'd like them. There are a few nicks here but I have tuch up paint for when those mishaps take place. Insured at $20k through Haggerty Classic Car Insurers and they have to approve the amount of coverage requested. I would drive this truck across the country without any concern. It was my everyday driver when I first got it and drove it from Nashville, TN to New Orleans when I moved in 2002 in one day without any problems at all. It is currently tagged and inspected in Austin, Texas and I drive it about two weekends a month. I'm sure I've forgotten items that have been taken care of but I think you get the picture. You can email me with questions or if you prefer, give me a call (985) 774-9609. Bronco is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end this auction at anytime prior to the end of the auction unless the reserve has been met. Shipping, delivery and transportation of vehicle at buyer's sole expense. I can deliver to a shipping depot in Austin, Texas only. $500 non refundable deposit via paypal within 48 hours after auction close. Balance to be paid via personal check, money order, cash or certified bank draft within 7 days of auction close. Vehicle released after all funds have been paid. Clear Texas title ready for transfer. Thanks for looking. Phil |

Ford Focus EV's slow sales trigger massive incentives
Fri, 25 Jan 2013The Detroit News reports Ford is having real trouble moving its new Focus Electric. As a result, the automaker is offering substantial incentives in an attempt to lure in more buyers. How substantial? Try $10,750 off of a three-year lease. What's more, the EV can now be had for $37,995 ($2,000 less than its original base price) on top of an additional $2,000 cash discount to buy the EV outright - or you can opt for 1.9-percent financing if you work through Ford Motor Credit. None of which factors in various potential government incentives. Last year, Ford managed to sell a paltry 685 of the 1,627 Focus EV hatchbacks it built.
Ford isn't alone in trying to woo more buyers to its EV effort. Nissan cut the price of its Leaf by a whopping 18 percent for 2013, now down to $28,800 and built in the USA. The move followed the automaker's substantial incentives in 2012.
If you want a Focus Electric, you can now apparently get your hands on one for as little as $285 per month with $930 due at signing for a 36-month lease with 10,500 miles per year.
New UAW boss Williams talks tough, vows 'no more concessions'
Sun, 08 Jun 2014Dennis Williams, the newly elected president of the UAW, had some tough words for American automakers in his inauguration speech at the 2014 UAW Convention, striking down the possibility of any additional concessions from the 400,000-strong union.
"No more concessions. We are tired of it. Enough is enough," Williams said during his speech. UAW employees have not received a raise in nearly 10 years, according to Reuters.
Considering the recent strong results for Ford, Chrysler and General Motors, the union's demands are likely to carry a bit more weight in next year's negotiations. And considering Williams' tough stance, we could be in for some fireworks once negotiations commence.
Why the 2015 Detroit Auto Show will be the best since The Crisis
Tue, Dec 30 2014The Detroit Auto Show clearly has its swagger back, and the 2015 edition will be a veritable feast for the enthusiast senses. We're talking serious performance, and it will be exhibited in a variety of forms. Sports cars. Supercars. Muscle-bound luxury cars. They're all set for splashy debuts in January in the Motor City. It's another signpost that companies have recovered from the global economic crisis that gripped the industry from 2008-09. For a while, automakers played it safe at Detroit and other shows. Environmentally friendly cars were important, especially for General Motors and Chrysler that were living on loans from Uncle Sam. Ford, Toyota and other companies generally focused on their best-selling or core models. With a few notable exceptions, recent auto shows have been a bit more buttoned-down than in the past. Boring probably isn't the right word, but austerity has been reality. That's changing. Car companies are making money. Sales are up. Aside from the many nagging recalls – and they are notable – the industry now has the time and energy to make performance cars a priority. That will be offered in hard evidence in Detroit. A year from now when we look back at this auto show, we'll sum it up with one word: Horsepower. But make no mistake, this isn't frivolous. Sports and luxury cars are expensive. They're profitable. They boost images and highlight strengths. With that in mind, here are five significant performance-oriented reveals to watch for when the show kicks off in less than two weeks. 2016 Acura NSX Acura's reborn NSX is a strong bet to earn plenty of votes for our Editors' Choice awards. It's one of the most anticipated – and strung-out – reveals of the year. Think back: we actually saw an NSX concept at the 2012 Detroit show, and Acura has spent the last three years teasing the car in a variety of ways. The slow burn, however, means we know a lot about the NSX. It's will use a mid-mounted twin-turbo hybrid powertrain and run with all-wheel drive. It will also wear an innovative zirconium e-coat paint, a new paint process that Honda says is more environmentally friendly. Honda has also said it will build the new NSX in Ohio, where a large part of the car's development work has been done. The original NSX was produced from 1990-2005 and helped establish Acura's performance credentials in the United States. It was a landmark car and a shot across the bow of Ferrari, Lamborghini and others.
