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

Weekly Recap: Toyota propels hydrogen fuel cells

Sat, Jan 10 2015

Toyota is serious about hydrogen fuel cells, and it wants the auto industry to follow suit. The Japanese automaker said this week it's releasing 5,680 fuel cell patents from around the world, including technologies used on its upcoming sedan, the 2016 Mirai. The move is unusual, but not unprecedented, as Tesla similarly released its electric vehicle patents last year. The idea for Tesla, and now for Toyota, is to spur development of alternative propulsion. "By eliminating traditional corporate boundaries, we can speed the development of new technologies and move into the future of mobility more quickly, effectively and economically," said Bob Carter, Toyota Motor Sales senior vice president of automotive operations, in a statement. Toyota's fuel cell patents will be free to use through 2020, though patents related to producing and selling hydrogen will remain open forever. Toyota said it would like companies that use its patents to share their own hydrogen patents, but won't require it. "What Toyota's doing is really a logical move, and really a good move for the industry," Devin Lindsay, principal powertrain analyst with IHS Automotive, told Autoblog. The announcement was made at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. It comes as Toyota prepares to launch the hydrogen-powered Mirai in a limited number late this year in California. The launch will be extended to the Northeastern United States next year. Toyota also has announced plans to support networks of fueling stations in each region to try to smooth consumer adoption. The Mirai has a 300-mile range on a tank of hydrogen, and it takes about five minutes to refill. Fuel cells have been receiving increased attention recently, and Audi and Volkswagen debuted hydrogen-powered cars at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show. Honda, another proponent of the technology, also showed its updated FCV concept in November in Japan. The company, however, has delayed its fuel cell sedan a year until 2016. Like Toyota, Honda says its hydrogen-powered car will have a range of 300 miles or more. Meanwhile, Hyundai currently offers leases for fuel-cell powered Tucsons, which have a 265-mile range, in Southern California. Despite the optimism some automakers have for fuel cells, the technology still faces barriers. A lack of filling stations has long held it back, and many consumers are not familiar with the potential benefits.

Hennessey unleashes 2015 HPE700 supercharged Ford Mustang

Sun, 05 Oct 2014

Thanks to the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat there is a new magic number in the muscle car world - 707. To raise eyebrows these days in the power war, a vehicle needs to match or preferably exceed that palindromic figure. The tuners over at Hennessey took a look at it for their 2015 HPE700 Mustang and decided to go one better. Well, ten actually, because they bestowed their latest creation with 717 horsepower and 632 pound-feet of torque.
The HPE 700 Mustang takes the standard Mustang GT with its 5.0-liter V8 and turns up the power a few hundred notches with a Roots-type supercharger running at 7.25 psi. Hennessey claims that this boosted 'Stang can rocket to 60 miles per hour in about 3.6 seconds and cover the quarter-mile in 11.2 seconds at 131 mph. For those keeping score at home, those figures are very similar to Challenger Hellcat.
To cope with all of the added boost, the engine gets a high-flow throttle body, upgraded injectors, new fuel pump, stainless steel exhaust and Hennessey's calibration for the engine management. Pricing for the package is $59,500, including the base 2015 Mustang GT, but the company is limiting production to 500 units for the 2015 model year. Founder John Hennessey told Autoblog that he has already received about a dozen orders for them.

Americans will get a four-cylinder Ford Mustang after all? [w/poll]

Sat, 09 Mar 2013

Ask and you shall receive. Remember that previous report suggesting that the 2015 Ford Mustang getting a four-cylinder EcoBoost engine, and that it would be sold in Europe only and not the United States? Well, according to Road & Track, the rumor is only partially true - The Mustang will get the engine, but it is indeed coming to America.
Additionally, according to RT, the 3.7-liter V6 will continue to serve as the base engine, and since it offers up a stout 305 horsepower in its current form, it's likely that the 2.3-liter four-cylinder EcoBoost will produce a bit more than that. At the top of the range, the Mustang GT will continue to soldier on with a V8 engine, which should continue to send over 400 horsepower to the rear wheels.
Finally, while we agree 100 percent with RT's heartfelt request for a paddle-shift automatic, we certainly expect that the EcoBoost 'Stang will be offered with a manual transmission as standard equipment. This is a Mustang, after all...
