1988 2 Door Bronco on 2040-cars
Merrillan, Wisconsin, United States
|
Up for auction is this very desirable Bronco II 4 X 4 with very LOW MILES at 76,500! It was a one owner since new, never driven in the winter and by looking at the underside and frame it is apparent that it wasn't. The frame is in excellent shape with hardly any surface rust. It has a 2.9 litre V-6, automatiac transmission with the shifter on the floor. It is a 4 X 4 that works and shifts great. It has lock out hubs. It has power steering so it handles nice. It also has A/C, however needs charging. I may have this done by end of auction but no guarantees. There is no rust on the exterior. It has newer tires, new brake shoes & hubs on the back. The vehicle sports it's original paint and still looks nice.The glass is all good with a small 6" crack in the lower passenger side of the windshield, barely noticable. The interior is very clean and in nice shape.(See poics) Would be good for a family with small children. The back seat would be perfect for them. The truck goes down the road excellent. It has a very smooth ride. It starts right up, idles smoothly and cool. The stereo radio sounds good. The heater works very good. The back seat folds down to make a nice big space in the back for groceries, supplies or hunting equiptment.(see pics) These Broncos are known for how well they get around in the snow and deep snow. It has a very sharp turning radius and would make a good plow vehicle. All the guages, lights, blinkers, brake lights, headlights(hi & lo beam) and emergency flashers all work properly. This rig is overall is in very nice shape, with low miles. It isn't all worn out. With my low reserve under $4K, I think this would be a good buy. These Broncos are hard to find in this good of condition. A $500 non-refundable deposit is due within 24 hours of the end of the auction to PayPal. The balance is due in full within 7 days of the end of the auction as cash in person or wire transfer to our bank account. The balance will NOT be accepted into PayPal.

Watch how a Ford Raptor rolls down the assembly line in Dearborn
Sun, 30 Mar 2014Bloomberg TV reporter Matt Miller is the proud new owner of a pretty killer truck. How do we know? The reporter headed to Dearborn, MI to Ford's assembly plant, with a film crew in tow, to see exactly how his new F-150 SVT Raptor and its mother-loving 6.2-liter V8 engine, was screwed together.
The resulting video does an excellent job of summing up how an assemblage of parts and pieces is turned into a triple-black Raptor, thanks to the work of some 1,000 employees and about 20 hours of real time. Click through below to see how the truck is born, with a surprise cameo playing the part of delivery driver at the end.
Junkyard Gem: 1991 Mercury Grand Marquis LS
Sat, Jan 21 2023Ford's now-defunct Mercury Division first began using the Marquis name in 1967, on a sporty full-size hardtop based on the Ford LTD, then began offering the Grand Marquis beginning in the 1979 model year. These big, boxy luxury sedans were replaced by big, curvy luxury sedans (on the same platform) starting with the 1992 model year, so today's Junkyard Gem is one of the very last squared-off Grand Marquises ever built. The 1991 Grand Marquis (or "Grandma Keith," as many refer to it today) looks nearly identical to its 1979 predecessor at a glance, just as the 2011 model doesn't differ much from the 1992 model. Ford saw no reason to follow short-lived fashion trends with its simple, sturdy rear-wheel-drive sedan. Only two Grand Marquis trim levels were available for 1991: the base GS and the (somewhat) upscale LS. The former listed at $18,741 and the latter at $19,241, which comes to about $41,494 and $42,601, respectively, in inflated 2022 dollars). This interior would have seemed comfortingly familiar to a 1968 (or even 1958) Mercury owner time-traveling to 1991. This is the optional "full grain leather seating surface," which cost an extra $489 (about $1,083 today). Dig those opera lights! Air conditioning was standard equipment in the 1991 Grand Marquis and its wagon counterpart, the Colony Park. The engine is the good old pushrod 5.0-liter Windsor V8, which would be replaced by a far more modern 4.6-liter SOHC mill in the '92 Grand Marquis. This engine was rated at 180 horsepower. A four-speed automatic was the only transmission available. The early 1990s ended up being the last gasp for padded vinyl roofs being considered mainstream equipment on new Detroit cars; this one was called the "Formal Coach" roof and cost an additional 725 bucks ($1,605 now). Such roofs were still available on a few cars later in the decade, but their time had passed. Why would such a clean Grandma Keith end up in a place like this? That's easy: it got T-boned directly into the right front wheel, mangling the body and bending up the suspension. This damage might have been worth fixing when the car was five years old, but it's a write-off when it happens to a 31-year-old Ford Panther. 1991 Mercury Grand Marquis Commercial - Savings Ad The granddaddy of them all, and on sale in South Texas!

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
