I'm selling my 1966 Ford Bronco.  I bought this from the original owner 4 years ago.  I have the original Virginia title that was issued in 1966 when the previous owner bought the truck, and a clear current title.  Also have the original owner's manual that was issued to the first buyer.  When I got the vehicle, the owner was 93 years old and not driving anymore, has since passed on.  He had the vehicle parked under a carport, and although its got some "cancer" in the quarters and floor, its in generally good condition, enough that it will pass state inspection to drive on the highway.  There are patch panels in the floor, and along the rockers, not well done but sufficient for inspection or driving.  The door posts are sound, as is the windshield frame, and the dash pad is near perfect.  170 six cylinder, three speed on the column, no radio, vacuum wipers.  The 4wd works just fine, and the exhaust has been replaced.  It has 4 new Goodyear Wrangler tires on it, they've got less than 500 miles on them.  The car runs and stops, heater works, wipers don't too well just like all vacuum wipers :-)  There's not much else to tell about this thing mechanically, they are pretty simple machines.  This 170 engine runs fine, although it does have an occasional wrist pin peck on #2 cylinder.  Been doing that for years, and if you're going to restore it, that isn't a big deal anyway, still runs just fine.  If you're wondering about the paint, the PO rolled that nice brown latex on it to match his boat :-)  The original color was red, which is peeking out in a few places where the latex has peeled off.  I'm not interested in trades, I have too many cars already, that's why I'm selling this one.  There's no warranty, none.  It runs, it stops, it needs to be properly restored.  Enough said.  I will deliver this car via rollback carrier to anywhere in the lower 48 states for $2.00 per mile, round trip.  You can fly in and drive it home, but I don't recommend it unless you have lots of gas money.  This has 4:11 gearing in the differentials, and at 50 MPH you're tach-ing about 4000 RPM's so its not very interstate friendly :-)  Email with questions, NO, I'm not taking more pics of anything so don't ask. Its a basic Bronco, and that's about the extent of it.  I prefer a paypal deposit of $1000 when the auction ends, and cash for the balance when you pick up the Bronco.  If you plan to use a cashiers check, it will have to be verified and cleared by my bank before you take the car, so DO NOT plan to show up with one and think you'll be driving it away, ain't gonna happen, just too much check fraud, sorry.  Cash is king.  If you mail a check, plan to pick up in about 15 days from that.  Happy bidding

Ford tells Congress it collects and protects some driver data

Fri, 14 Feb 2014

Last month Ford's Jim Farley made waves at the CES when it was reported he told show attendees, "We have GPS in your car, so we know what you're doing. By the way, we don't supply that data to anyone." Farley and Ford later partially retracted and clarified that statement.
Spurred by a desire for further transparency on data collection policies, Ford representatives answered questions from Congress, specifically Senator Al Franken (D-Minn.), about driver privacy.
The Detroit News reports that Ford told Congress it does collect some vehicle location data in an effort to "troubleshoot and improve our products" on behalf of the driver. Ford went on to say that it only collects limited data after receiving permission from owners.

Plug In 2014: ALTe ready to join Ford's EQVM to convert, sell F-150 PHEV [w/video]

Mon, Aug 4 2014

It's been a while since we've checked in with ALTe and its plans to convert big work vehicles like the Ford F-150 into plug-in hybrids. So, when we saw a demonstration vehicle sitting outside the San Jose Convention Center at the Plug In 2014 Conference last week, we had to get a closer look. When we did, we realized that it's been quite some time since we've been in a Ride & Drive vehicle that was all beat to heck. It's been quite some time since we've been in a Ride & Drive vehicle that was all beat to heck. The reason for the well-worn F-150 with 30,000 miles on it is that ALTe has been showing off its extended-range EV technology to lots of people all around the country, and Kyle Maki has been the man on the scene more often than not. "This one, I've taken all over the country," he told AutoblogGreen. "I've wore out that seat, I think. The only reason this one wasn't driven here was because we were in Charlotte [NC] last week and I didn't want to take a chance and not make it in time for this event." In other words, ALTe is out there, ginning up excitement for the idea of a plug-in hybrid Ford with an electric range of up to 40 miles and which can then continue on gas for another 360 miles at around about 25 miles per gallon. ALTe wants to not only convert new vehicles but it also offers retrofits for fleets that are happy with their current fleet. The company offers converted versions of the Ford E350 and E450 utility vehicles now but the near-mythical F-150 PHEV is still "coming soon." Yes, orders are now being accepted, but you will be forgiven if you think this is all happening on a slow time scale. There are simply a lot of things to do before ALTe can sell the truck. ALTe is currently attempting to join Ford's EQVM program, which is the electric version of the standard Qualified Vehicle Modifiers program. The QVM program requires coachbuilders to "be successfully evaluated by Ford Motor Company on criteria such as engineering, the manufacturing process, quality control, and adherence to Ford and Lincoln Divisions guidelines." Qualified applicants must also meet all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, conform to Ford/Lincoln conversion guidelines and agree to be inspected annually as well as have a "commitment to continuous improvement." Maki has a simpler explanation. "It basically means you're a preferred supplier, a Tier 1, if you will," he said.

Consumer Reports explains its disdain for infotainment

Thu, 20 Mar 2014

One of the perks of reviewing all manner of cars and trucks is that we're exposed to all the different infotainment systems. Whether Cadillac's CUE, Chrysler's UConnect, BMW's iDrive or MyFord Touch, we sample each and every infotainment system on the market.
Not surprisingly, some are better than others. It seems consumers have come to a similar consensus, with Consumer Reports claiming that Ford and Lincoln, Cadillac and Honda offer the worst user infotainment experiences. Not surprisingly, you won't find much argument among the Autoblog staff.
Take a look below to see just what it is about the latest batch of infotainment systems that grinds CR's gears. After that, scroll down into Comments and let us know if you agree with the mag's views.
