VINTAGE 1977 FORD BRONCO
DESCRIPTION: If you are looking for a clean, straight forward vintage Bronco then look no further! This Bronco is extremely clean inside and out. The value of vintage Broncos continues to escalate. This is a not only a fun vehicle to own, it's also a sound investment. It kills me to sell this unique Bronco. I drove it out to Venice, CA 18 months ago and cruised in style beachside. I shipped it back to Indianapolis 5 months ago. This Bronco is ready for you to drive, show and enjoy the classic styling. I have owned many cars and I have never experienced the love I get from people when I drive this Bronco around town. It's like being on parade. Truthfully, people comment so often that it's almost annoying. The color is so beautiful and clean.
I have been amazed how well this Bronco drives. For a vehicle that is over 35 years old it drives like a dream. I would be away from Venice for months and it would start right up. You can tell it's never been abused. The motor runs smooth and quiet. The power steering makes navigation effortless. The brakes have been worked on and I have fairly new pads, but I will say it doesn't stop like a modern disc brakes. It takes getting used to, but they work perfectly. The body panels are straight and fit very well. All the doors open and close effortlessly. I believe my reserve is quite low for this vehicle. I had it appraised in LA in Sept for several thousand more.
BODY: This Bronco was solid to start with. There is a little rust bubbling on the back tailgate and above the windshield wipers, but it's hardly noticeable and could easily be fixed. The body is original sheet metal. The body was stripped down to bare metal then primed with epoxy and urethane primers. I had Ziebart spray the underbody ($400) in October.
FRAME / SUSPENSION: The frame is extremely clean. I put on new heavy GVW springs 2 years ago. They are in great shape. The rear axle is a 9 inch set with 3.50 gears which is all very tight. The front axle is a Dana 44 and is set with 3:50 gears, this is also tight and completely rebuilt. The frame does have one small repair on the front crossmember. It looks like someone had a tow hood welded on at one time.
ENGINE: The engine is the original equipment to this Bronco. I had the engine rebuilt in Venice for $2,000 at ASC Bronco. They are the best at what they do. I did a compression check and all 8 cylinders fall within spec (140-145 psi). It runs very strong and sounds great.
TRANSMISSION: The transmission is a stock 1977 Bronco 3 speed automatic which was rebuilt 2 1/2 years ago. The transfer case is a stock Dana 20. which works great. The shifter moves in & out of gears smoothly. The front lock hubs are in full functioning order. The automatic steering column was also completely rebuilt.
WHEELS: The rims are 15x8 aluminum Ford mods with 32x11.50 mud terrain tires. The tires have 60% tread and two of the rims have slight pitting. The tires have lots of life in them.
STEERING: The Bronco has factory power steering which works great! The tie rod ends and drag link are good. All ball joints are in great condition. There are factory rebuilt drum brakes. It stops great but it takes getting used to applying a little more force than you do with new cars.
ELECTRICAL: The entire dash and engine wire harness was removed from the Bronco and fixed. The wire harness was stripped of old tape. All lights and turn signals work except the light for the license plate is not working. I replaced the bulb but for some reason it is not coming on. Other than that it's great. The glove box has been replaced. The factory heater is great. I am having a small issue with one of the windshield wipers going a bit too high up. They work, but it's got a glitch.
INTERIOR: The inside of the Bronco has been completely sprayed with Urethane Bed Liner by a professional dealer. It looks great. The seats are OEM Factory Bronco seats. The seat belts are OEM correct units for this Bronco. I have a new hardtop that is removable. This car is simply beautiful. I installed a new stereo with CD player along with speakers. They are concealed in a really cool middle console.
EXTRA: This is a true 77 with gas filter doors on the rear quarter panels. This was a change made to the 1977 model.
TERMS: Important! This Bronco is for sale locally too so I reserve the right to end this auction at any time. I've been trying to delay selling it because I love it so much but I'm going to put a sign in the window and drive it around. It is such an attention getting that I'm not sure what will happen. I'm being honest. Please do not ask what the reserve is, but make your best offer. It is also sold as is without any warranty. I require a $1,000 nonrefundable deposit with in 48 hours of close. This must be made as a postal money order. No bank checks. Cash would be accepted if done in person. The remaining balance is due in 7 business days. This has to be cash or wire transfer. I will not release the Bronco or it's title until full payment is made. All payments would be made to Will Howe.
SHIPPING: Yes, I will ship the Bronco but it will be at your expense. You must make the arrangements or you can come pick it up in Indianapolis, Indiana.

One is a member of the Detroit Three and the maker of the Mustang, Fusion, Explorer and F-150. The other is an admitted loudmouthed, drunk-driving, crack-smoking mayor in Canada. Unfortunately for one, it shares its name with the other. Yes, Ford Motor Company is going to great lengths to keep its iconic Blue Oval logo from being appropriated by supporters of besieged Toronto mayor Rob Ford.
At a United Way event earlier this week, some of Mayor Ford's fans showed up with shirts that featured the automaker's logo with the words "Ford Nation," on them. Naturally, Mayor Ford signed them. FoMoCo was quick to issue an unhappy statement:
"Ford did not grant permission for use of its logo. We view it as an unauthorized use of our trademark and have asked it to be stopped," spokesperson Jay Cooney said. There was also a statement from Ford of Canada's Twitter account after a user alerted the company:

We love a good barn find here at Autoblog. We like that there's a palpable excitement and sense of mystery surrounding barn finds. Each case has its own uniqueness to it, and this latest discovery is no different: an unrestored, one-owner 1969 Shelby GT500 with just 8,531 miles on it.
In the case of this particular barn find, many of the typical questions have already been answered. For example, we know who owned it - his name was Larry Brown. He recently passed away, and as he had no wife or children to inherit the estate, the car he purchased at Pennsylvania Ford dealer in May of 1969, will be auctioned off by Ron Gilligan Auctioneers.
The car was fastidiously maintained, having never been driven in the rain. In fact, Brown never even washed it, out of fear of it rusting. According to the auction website, the last time this car saw water was probably when it was detailed ahead of being delivered to Brown. If that doesn't sound like a fanatical sense of maintenance on the part of this GT500's owner, this next part will. The interior has been treated to a similarly painstaking attempt at preservation, with garbage bags covering the seats and two layers of floor mats over the carpets. The result is a car that, aesthetically, is in remarkable shape considering it's spent so long in a barn.

Back in the day, Vignale was a carrozzeria of the highest order, alongside the likes of Pininfarina, Bertone and Zagato. But like Giugiaro-ItalDesign and Ghia, it has since been subsumed into a larger auto group. Ford ended up with it under its umbrella when it took over De Tomaso, and has since used the moniker for a number of concept cars. Now the name is back in the form of a new upscale sub-brand for the European market.
The first new model to receive the Vignale treatment is the Mondeo, which Ford unveiled here at the Frankfurt Motor Show in both sedan and wagon forms. Positioned above the Titanium trim, the Vignale model gets such special touches as chrome trim and a quilted leather interior, Vignale badges replacing any mention of the Mondeo on which it's based. It also gains an ownership experience - including free car washes for life! - to befit the upscale positioning.
Under the bright spotlights above the show floor, the Nocciola metallic brown paint might not be the most photogenic, but will likely give the Vignale edition a more premium look when it hits European dealers and roads in 2015. Whether it'll be worth however much Ford asks for it, however, remains to be seen. Scroll down below for the official press release.
