I would not drive it on the road the way it is the brakes are weak (need bled out) and the front end needs an alignment, tires have good tread but they are very dry rotted, in it's current state I would not drive it on the road till the brakes got bled out, was last on the road the winter of 2012 I put about 2k miles on it when ever it snowed enough for 4wd did all the mentioned suspension work last summer hasnt been on the road since. the mileage is actual this Bronco has been in my family since the 80's I got it about 3 years ago after it had sat in a barn for quite a while, my brother put a new tail gate on it several years ago tail gate is in good shape, and a new radiator, has the factory style exhaust "y pipe & catalytic converter still on it, could use some shocks when I did the suspension and springs the shocks were fine Rancho 5000, pry more new parts than I listed everything I mentioned I replaced was new in box from "Jeffs bronco graveyard. com" everything works on the truck even the power tailgate window, the top has the slider vent windows in it, I purchased the complete suspension & body Energy Suspension Red urethane "kit" I do have the complete body bushing kit still in the box never put on the truck. Jeff's sold me the right suspension kit "I believe 4 degree pitch" matching the 3" lift Spring kit I purchased, rear springs are complete new main leaf all new leaves new bushings no redneck blocks or add a leaf to achieve the lift. For off road you just need to turn the key and go.. I would suggest new quarter panels tires and an alignment before it be road worthy again NOTE::: has the set of 4 Bush Wacker wheel flares the photos show the rear drivers side missing I have it, I took it off so I didnt lose it somewhere on the road as you can see that quarter panel is pretty bad, also the photos show no rear sway bar I have that too just not on the truck atm.. - Mileage discrepancy odometer reads 64,000 miles it is original miles, the title however at one point when I filed it got filed as exceeds limits and shows 162k rather than 62k I know the history my brother was the 2nd owner since the 80's it never turned over but the title shows it has so im listing as undetermined miles, I dumped a ton of money in last summer with high hope of finishing it and painting it now I am just trying to avoid putting it back in the barn because I dont know if/when I'll have time to do any more work to it. ******************************************************************************* AS IS NEEDS WORK - PROJECT - PARTS CAR - YOU CAN NOT DRIVE IT HOME - NEEDS TOWED AWAY - PICK UP ONLY WILL NOT CRATE PACK OR SHIP THIS ITEM<>BUYER MUST TOW IT OR TRAILER IT AWAY Clean Ohio title |

Watch these Australian Ford and Holden muscle cars duke it out
Wed, 21 Aug 2013Australia's Motoring has put together a little video on two of the great performance vehicles available down under - the Holden VF Commodore HSV GTS and the Ford Falcon FPV GT R-Spec. And while both FPV and the Falcon might be on their way out, there's still plenty of time for a little head-to-head comparison between the two.
The cars aren't all that well evenly matched, though. The Ford boasts a 5.0-liter, supercharged V8, which the Aussies measure out at 449 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. The HSV, though, with its Corvette-derived, 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 is just too powerful - 576 hp and 545 lb-ft of torque.
Predictably, it doesn't end too well for the Ford. As the guys from Motoring point out, the new VF Commodore is just too new and too good, with its extra power and its adaptive dampers (GM's excellent MagnaRide). Interestingly, Motoring did point out that the Holden's electric steering is better than the Ford's hydraulic steering, which is a lot like a Porsche purist saying they prefer water-cooled engines to air cooled.
May 2016: FCA wins, Ford and GM stumble on weak car volumes
Wed, Jun 1 2016The May 2016 sales numbers are in, and it looks as though FCA is getting some vindication for boldly cancelling two slow-selling car models. Meanwhile, Ford saw overall sales dip and GM's May volume took a big dive versus the same month in 2015. While Marchionne's decision to axe the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart has drawn criticism as being short-sighted, it's working for FCA so far. Although the Dart and 200 aren't out of production yet and no capacity has been shifted to crossover or trucks, May's numbers show that the emphasis on Jeep and Ram models makes sense right now. FCA's US sales rose 1 percent last month compared to May 2015, putting the year-to-date total at 955,186 vehicles, an increase of 6 percent compared to the same period last year. Standouts included the Jeep Renegade, Compass, and Patriot, and the Fiat 500X. Ram pickup sales were down 3 percent. And your fun fact is that Alfa Romeo sales were up precisely 10 percent, for a total of 44 4Cs sold versus 40 in the same month last year. At FoMoCo, the Ford brand took a hit to the tune of 6.4 percent from May 2015 to 2016, registering 226,190 sales last month. Lincoln showed improvement on its modest numbers, going from 9,174 to 9,807, a 6.9 percent increase. Overall, Ford was down 5.9 percent for the month to 235,997; despite the slump, year-to-date total Ford sales are up 4.2 percent to 1,112,939. Strong sellers included Escape, Expedition, F-Series, and Transit - big stuff. Most small and/or efficient models (Fiesta, Focus, Fusion, C-Max) saw sales slides. Fusion sales were also down, likely due to effects of model changeover to the freshened 2017 model. Ford has promised four new crossovers and SUVs by 2020 and if things keep trending this way the company will be able to sell them, but things could change in the next four years. GM saw the worst of it for domestic brands. Retail and fleet sales were down for each of the four divisions, with the May 2016 total dropping 18 percent to 240,450 vehicles. GM's year-to-date sales are down 5.0 percent in 2016 to 1,183,705. Both the Sierra and Silverado were down significantly, and the majority of Chevy, Buick, GMC, and Cadillac nameplates saw sales decreases, with both small cars and larger utilities included. Not even big stuff could help GM this month, it seems. We'll have more on the rest of the industry's May sales as those figures trickle in.
Ford announces free brake pad offer if customers stop by dealers
Mon, 04 Aug 2014These days, when you buy a new car, it's not unreasonable to expect a certain period of free maintenance to come along as well. Sometimes this is through the life of the warranty, in other cases a little less. But Ford Motor Company is going beyond those deals for at least one part of its cars. As of now, if you buy a set of Motorcraft brake pads for a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury model, you get free replacements for as long as you own the vehicle. The offer is good at Ford or Lincoln dealers and Quick Lane Tire & Auto Centers.
"We will replace the pads for as long as you own the vehicle," said Elizabeth Weigandt to Autoblog. She did clarify that the Motorcraft pads are generally for models from the '90s or newer. Also, to take advantage of this program, a person must return to the same dealer each time to get the free parts.
Of course, Ford isn't just handing out brake pads to anyone who walks by; there are certain stipulations. First, the components have to be worn down to less than three millimeters to be eligible, and the buyer still has to pay for the labor to install them. If the model is used as a fleet vehicle for commercial purposes like as a taxi or limousine, this offer also doesn't apply; the same thing for racecars. On the plus side, if you recently bought a set of pads from one of the participating locations, you're still in luck. The deal covers parts purchased as of July 1.
