I have an incredible truck at an incredible price ! So often too good to be true is just that, but in this case it is true. I have up for auction one of the 23,776 original first year broncos ever made. And, its one of the few left that didn't get the rear flares cut to make way for oversized tires. This timeless classic is the one that really helped start the off road and suv craze. It has been well owned and well maintained for years. It is a great riding and driving truck with its original 3.3 ltr 200 cu in straight 6 engine and three on the tree manual transmission. It absolutely cranks, drives, and shifts as it should with no hick ups at all. It was professionally and expertly painted three years ago with an enamel paint that looks virtually new. The interior is all there and all the gauges work as well as the blinkers, horn, lights, heat, fan and everything else. The only flaw there is the windshield wipers are out of sinc. I'm told I need a relay to be installed but have not followed up, I have the drivers side working and I never take it out in the rain so I had no interest in making the repair. The interior is as close to perfect as you can get, and the color combo looks great. The top is in great shape and the paint looks like glass. The only thing that's not stock are the bumpers that were made for this truck and fit and look better than the stock bumper, it also has a working 10,000 lb wench installed that has never been used to the best of my knowledge. Underneath the truck looks as good as the inside and outside of it does. I have been underneath and I will try to get it to a rack and update some photos later. I am going to sell it, and I am going to market it locally so I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. The truck is sold as is and I recommend anything you buy off of the computer you either inspect personally or send someone to do it as I have bought 4 cars on EBAY alone and 2 were as advertised and 2 were misrepresented to say the least. If you have any questions or would like to arrange an inspection or showing please text, or call me, my name is Robert and I can be reached at (256)508-4722. I have sold 6 cars on ebay and had 100% satisfaction with my listings and sold all my cars reasonably so bid with confidence and good luck !
Ford’s first-generation off-roader has gone from cult classic to mainstream collector
If you haven’t noticed lately, vintage 4x4s are heating up the
collector market and the first-generation Ford Bronco is leading the way.
Conceived as a competitor for elemental off-roaders such as Jeep and
International-Harvester’s Scout, the Bronco’s dimensions were somewhat in
between them. Its 92-inch wheelbase and 151.5-inch overall length were
considerably longer than the Jeep CJ-5’s 83-inch wheelbase and 139-inch length,
but shy of the Scout’s 100-inch wheelbase and 155-inch length.Much like the groundbreaking Mustang, the original 1966 Bronco
(introduced in August 1965) represented a brave new world for the Blue Oval, as
Ford had never developed a dedicated 4x4 sport-utility vehicle. The frame,
chassis and body would be created from scratch, although engineers logically
adapted the front and rear axles from the company’s four-wheel-drive F-Series
pickups and used them with a Bronco-specific Dana 20 transfer case.Its 105-hp, 170-cubic-inch straight-six engine was a
“pick-up,” too – from the Falcon, although the carburetor was fitted with a
unique float to prevent fuel starvation on steep, off-road grades. The fuel pump
was heavy-duty, too, for the same reason. A 289 V-8 would join the lineup later
in the ’66 model year and would be supplanted by the 302 engine in 1969.
A three-speed, column-shifted manual transmission was the only
gearbox offered at first and an automatic transmission wouldn’t arrive on the
option list until 1973. All models through all of the first-gen production years
used a Ford 9-inch rear axle. A Dana 30 front axle was used through early 1971
and was replaced by the stronger Dana 44.The transfer case drove the front and rear
axles through constant-velocity, double-cardan universal joints. The design
enabled a higher mounting position and greater ground clearance. A coil-spring
front suspension and leaf-spring rear suspension were used. The front
“mono-beam” axle was located by a pair of forged radius rods and a track bar.
Out back forward-angled shocks were used on early models and replaced by
rear-canted shocks. The short wheelbase and unique chassis/suspension features
contributed to a super-short turning radius of less than 35 feet.Three body styles were offered initially: the boxy wagon, a
pickup-style half-cab and a Jeep-like Roadster. The
roadster was the lowest-price models, with a base price of only $2,404 in 1966,
but wasn’t popular and was axed from the lineup after 1968. All models were
designed for work and the roster of factory options included items such as
free-wheeling hubs, a limited-slip differential, heavy-duty cooling package and
more, while dealers touted available post-hole diggers, power booms and power
sprayers. The Bronco could even be upfitted as a small fire truck or tow
truck.With sales of 23,776 in its first year, the Bronco was off to
a promising start. But with its Spartan interior – no carpeting, sound-deadening
material or even a standard heater – it was definitely an SUV that emphasized
utility over sport .

Recently, the finance arm of PSA/Peugeot-Citroën was in such debt trouble that it was pricing itself out of the car loan market. The rates it was paying to service its debt, which was rated one step above junk, were so high that it was forced to charge car-buying customers higher rates than they could find elsewhere. This was adding to Peugeot's already impressive woes by sending revenue out the door to competitors.
Two months ago a deal was worked out with the French government whereby the state would provide 7 billion euro ($9 billion USD) in bonds to guarantee the finance arm's loans. The French government could nominate someone to join the Peugeot board, Peugeot would guarantee more French jobs, and on top of that deal, other banks would provide non-guaranteed loans. The government would take no equity stake in the car company.
Although not yet finalized, the arrangement is meant to create some breathing room for Peugeot Finance to lower its interest rates for customers, and a government-nominated board member, Louis Gallois, was recently named to Peugeot's supervisory board. The arrangement was also openly questioned by at least three competitors: Ford, Renault - which is 15-percent owned by the French government after it received state aid - and the German state of Lower Saxony, itself a 15-percent shareholder in Volkswagen.

Ford is recalling 738 examples of the 2015 2015 Mustang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine – 712 in the US, 16 in Canada. A fuel pressure sensor might have been installed incorrectly on the affected cars, and that could result in a fuel leak. At the time of writing the company hasn't heard any reports of any incidents related to the issue, and parties with affected vehicles can take them to the dealer to have the fuel tube assembly replaced free of charge. The 2014 Transit Connect Cargo Van is also the subject of a safety recall, due to a possible problem with adhesive used on the exterior plastic panel on the sliding doors. There are 19,825 units covered by that recall, which dealers will also repair free of charge. You can find more information on both bulletins in the press releases below.
