This ‘68 Bronco is a strong running Bronco, with many of the big ticket items already purchased. Great as is, or as an easy restoration project. I have been told the motor is not original, and best I can tell it is a 302 from a 1968 Fairlane. Regardless, it runs strong. The transfer case works, drips a little, but works great - never any issues. The transmission was rebuilt a few years ago. It does look like at one point someone welded a front and a back bumper on, then used a cutting torch to remove. Anyone with any welding experience could make quick work of this if desired. Nevertheless, the frame has been cut on a little at these points. Please refer to the pictures in this regards. The frame VIN matches the glove box tag, so I am certain they have been together since day 1. There is a very small amount rust for a 46 year old truck. The tailgate has some rust spots and some bond work, but nothing major. The door posts are solid. The Bronco was painted black when I bought it back in November ’06. It was originally “Peacock Blue”, and I had an $700 Econo job done. It is exactly that - a $700.00 paint job, but I get a lot of positive comments. Definitely a head turner, but it =is chipping off a few places. The interior has been “rhino lined” for protection. One good thing about the ‘68s - when you have the top of, the window frames unscrew and slip out, to give a clean look. Steering box has been rebuilt, but to me, seems a little sloppy. The tires are not a major brand name, but still have about 90% of tread left. It came with the original hard top that a PO mounted a luggage rack on, causing it to leak bad. I removed the glass and aluminum trim, and trashed the metal. I do not recommend driving past speeds of 55 until the steering is tweaked. The brakes could stand to be re-done, they work, but pull a little to the right. It seems once the it gets wormed up good, it quits pulling. FAQs: Does it run? Yes. Does it leak? It has a few leaks, nothing major. How is the electrical? It’s there. The battery is better than any battery I have ever owned....always has cranking power, no matter how long it sits. It does look like the harness was replaced with, best I can tell, a Centech harness. The only issue I really notice, is some of the time one of the turn signals doesn’t work, and they do not shut off by themselves. This is a plastic part inside the steering wheel that is broken but easily purchased and replaced. It does have a new voltage regulator on it. How does it drive? Like a ’68 Bronco with 3.5“ lift kit and 33” tires. It actually drives decent. My wife drives it more than I do. The steering may need some tweaking, but it drives decent. I do not drive on the interstate. The one time I took this Bronco off-road, I was riding in a shallow creek bed, slid on the algae covered limestone and hit an embankment that crumpled the front fender, and messed up the grill. I then managed to tear up the rear-end. So......I had a new Auburn rear end put in, and replaced the grill (winning bidder will also get the original grill), and pounded out the fender and put it back on. An expensive day for me.
I have many extras to include parts for the spare tire rack, fiberglass door inserts for the roadster look, protective cover, Sony stereo, chrome bumper, dash pad, shop manual, side reflectors, grill letters, hard top glass, and aluminum, roadster mirrors, and more. I would make considerably more money parting out, but I can’t do it - this Bronco is too solid to break apart, and money is not my motivation to sell. I hope to try to add a link for a video at some point. If you have questions, please ask prior to bidding. A $500.00 deposit is due by the winning bidder within a reasonable time of auction close. The balance (via cashiers check) will be due upon pick up, or before shipping. I will help in the shipping process. I do hold a clear title. NO TRADES. |

And a lot of those ways can be boring or tasteless. This one is neither. This is a seriously classy Pontiac GTO. Under the hood is a 461 cu. in. V8 from Butler Performance that's based on an actual Pontiac V8, not just another Chevy engine. The whole thing is subtle with a low-key metallic green and clean gray wheels. There isn't any overly flashy chrome or decals.
Thieves still love older Hondas and pickups most, says NICB [w/video]
Wed, 20 Aug 2014No one wants to have their car stolen, but a new study by the National Insurance Crime Bureau has some bad news for older Honda owners and pickup drivers. Fortunately, it has better news for drivers overall. The group is reporting that according to preliminary data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, thefts were down 3.2 percent in 2013 (versus 2012) to fewer than 700,000 cars. That's the lowest figure since 1967. That's also less than half of the peak of over 1.66 million thefts in 1991. "The drop in thefts is good news for all of us," says NICB President and CEO Joe Wehrle. "But it still amounts to a vehicle being stolen every 45 seconds and losses of over $4 billion a year."
Honda drivers might not find it such good news with older Accord and Civic models topping this year's theft study. Toyota and Dodge can't really celebrate, either, with two models each on the list, as well. Overall, this year's list was split evenly between foreign and domestic models, which were mostly pickups.
The 10 most likely vehicles to be stolen in 2013 were:
Ford Transit production fires up, American Pickers among first takers
Wed, 30 Apr 2014Not long ago, the History Channel showed a seemingly unending stream of World War II documentaries, but it made a switch a few years ago to include an increasing mix of 'reality' programming. American Pickers was one of the early attempts at this new formula, with cameras following hosts Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz around the country in a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter as they tracked down collectibles and "rusty gold" for their Iowa shop, Antique Archeology. The show has since gone on to become one of the channel's most popular programs.
Starting in the new episode airing tonight, the affable hosts will swap their Benz for a 2015 Ford Transit, a nicely timed bit of marketing to coincide with the launch of the model's assembly at the Blue Oval's Kansas City Assembly Plant, which also kicks off this week. Ford is touting 2,000 new jobs created as part of its $1.1-billion investment in the plant.
No strangers to product placement, the guys from American Pickers say their switch away from the Sprinter is because they wanted to balance cargo capacity and fuel economy to make the most of their cross-country jaunts. They opted for the largest Transit available with a long wheelbase, extended body and high roof, giving them 487 cubic feet of cargo room. Hauling power comes from a 3.2-liter, five-cylinder diesel engine with 190 horsepower and 346 pound-feet of torque and a six-speed automatic transmission with rear-wheel drive. Fittingly, the van wears the same Antique Archaeology logo over white paint as their old Sprinter.
