1973 - Ford Bronco on 2040-cars
Ferndale, Michigan, United States
Ford : Bronco Sport First, let me just say that you'll get a very honest opinion of this Bronco and feel free to check my over 2,200 all positive comments in my feedback profile. Secondly, I'll be up front and tell you that this Bronco was up for 29K and I ended up purchasing it as a frame off restored, "turn key" vehicle. Here's what really irked me and needs to be finished: The gauge cluster was rebuilt, but he speedometer was obviously not hooked up The high/low light switch is just dangling by a wire and needs to be mounted (see picture) The rubber seals needs to be installed on the doors The driver's door doesn't have an arm rest (I was supposed to receive it in the mail, but nothing has come) The back seat has no arm rests (Also supposedly in the mail) The new gas tank wasn't tightened down (I'll tighten the strap myself) A knob fell off on the floor (I'll put that back on with an allen wrench) I'd repaint the doors, as they are a shade off the rest of the truck The emergency brake wasn't hooked up (he told me it just needed to welded back on the frame) He didn't attach the passenger side wiper arm (I do have it thankfully!) I know this is all small potatoes stuff for those who love, drive and fix Bronco's, but I'm only the first two of those things and thought I was getting a truck that was thoughtfully restored. Quite honestly, it seems to have been slapped together for a quick sale. What a shame, it's really a nice truck that should have received better treatment in the restoration process. Okay that written, here's what was done in the restoration process: New Original color Sequoia Brown base/ clear coat paint 302 with Edelbrock intake and 4 barrel carb B.C. Broncos shorty headers with Magnaflow exhaust B.C. Broncos A.C. Rhino Lined floors in matching Sequoia Brown color Newly recovered parchment colored front and rear seat New windshield and rubber New Rampage "spice" colored soft top Custom front and rear bumpers with tire carrier Pro Comp Wheels and BFG AT2 Tires 31" HID Projector Headlights with angel eyes and devil eyes New Parchment seat belts Wild Horses 3.5" suspension lift and 1" body lift New "ventless" hood New tail light, turn signal lenses and rebuilt gauge cluster New window track and felt kit from Wild Horses Rebuilt Vent Windows Power Disc Brakes As you can see in the pictures, this Bronco was a frame off restoration and the frame was beautifully powder coated and you can see how solid the body is, including the uncut fenders! The motor runs strong with no leaks or smoke and she starts, stops, shifts and tacks down the road with no issues at all. It runs so great and has so much potential, I was considering taking it to Brian at Build a Bronco in Albion and asking him to finish the truck and put a hard top on it. In fact, I do love all the options, including the brand new air conditioning unit, power disc brakes and power steering, as it's a tough combo to find in the early year Broncos. In addition, there's all new bushings on the front end, the hood was actually installed with nice hydraulic lifts and the interior looks great. Someone who is willing to do the finishing touches will certainly be getting a Bronco that worth well into the 30's, as it will need nothing once it's finished.

Ford F-35 Lightning II Edition Mustang appears at EAA Oshkosh
Sat, 26 Jul 2014Ford is back at the Experimental Aircraft Association AirVenture air show in Oshkosh, WI, on July 31 auctioning off its seventh Mustang for charity, and this is one seriously mean looking 2015 'Stang. All of the money from the sale goes to give free introductory flights to young people to get them interested in aviation.
We recently saw this latest EAA Mustang as a sketch. However, it looks a whole lot more menacing in person. Dubbed the Ford F-35 Lightning II Edition Mustang, it takes liberal inspiration from Lockheed Martin's latest fighter jet, and the customization makes the pony car look ready for a role in Top Gun.
On the outside, the special Mustang wears titanium-color paint that's offset by a black and yellow stripe running from hood to rear. Out back things get really wild with a mix of bright yellow and black that flows diagonally all the way to the rear spoiler. The design is based on the livery of early production F-35s. If the rousing color scheme isn't enough to get you interested, the car also gets a carbon fiber front splitter and rear diffuser, lowered suspension and a set of custom 21-inch wheels with yellow brake calipers.
Carmakers, NHTSA to unveil auto-emergency braking agreement tomorrow
Wed, Mar 16 2016Happy St. Patrick's Day Eve. Tomorrow, there will be green beer, corned beef and cabbage, and automatic emergency braking for all. Weird combo, we know. But on St. Patty's we can expect an official announcement from a pact of automakers making auto-braking systems standard equipment by 2022. That's per a report from Reuters, which cites three sources familiar with the plans. Originally announced in September 2015 by 10 automakers and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the agreement is expected to be even larger when the details are unveiled tomorrow. According to Reuters, the manufacturers of 99 percent of the US domestic market's vehicles will be represented by the new agreement. It's believed that standard AEB systems could prevent thousands of accidents across the country. Expect more on the official announcement when it's made. Related Video:
Winnebago re-introduces classic Brave RV [w/video]
Fri, Jun 6 2014Winnebago is saying 'Let's do the time warp again,' using its new Brave RV to do it – have a look at the first Winnebago RV from 1966 and you'll know exactly where this one comes from. The modern version of this swinging sixties motorhome is accurate from its size, either 26- or 27-foot version, to its trademark eyebrow above the front windshield. The foldaway bunk above the front seats that necessitated the eyebrow design has been updated, and is now a power bed that descends from the ceiling. It is among a set of standard features that also includes a 19-foot motorized awning, leveling jacks at all four corners, heated mirrors, LED ceiling lights, two available floorplans and detailing like a workstation for the front passenger, a sliding dash cluster and and a waterfall countertop in the kitchen with built-in extensions. The Brave sits on a Ford F53 chassis complete with its Triton V10 engine and five-speed automatic transmission. No word yet on any potential diesel alternatives. Naturally, that 1966 price of $4,000 will also come in for an update, but the company hasn't yet revealed it. The good folks from Winnebago will be happy to take you on a thorough personal tour of the Brave in the video below. This content is hosted by a third party.
