1968 Ford Bronco Uncut - Original Body, Great Condition 4x4 68 on 2040-cars
Dallas, Texas, United States
1968 Ford Bronco Original Uncut Body. This is a great restoration
candidate if you are wanting a Bronco in great shape, with not very much
work needed. Runs and drives great, no leaks, 3 speed on the tree.
Starts up quickly and doesn't smoke. Recently inspected (7/2013). No
major dents or rust on the exterior of the vehicle-- looks great from
10ft. Removable hardtop with 302 Engine - the engine is not original and is an 80's 302 that I've gone through and does not leak, installed by the PO.
I purchased it from a gentleman that had the bronco for 18 years, and it was well taken care of-- there are approximately 80K miles, and I have no way to tell if they are original, but they could be based upon the condition of the vehicle--he even had the original keys! From what I know, has been a Texas vehicle all its life. I believe it has a dealer installed A/C with an original york compressor. Rims and Tires are in great condition, both gas tanks work and can be filled. Bronco does not have a rear seat, and has a divider behind the seat as if it had a truck cab at some point. Bed is carpeted with black carpet. Selling because I've got too many projects and too many cars (3). Since I bought the bronco, the below is what I've done to the vehicle: 1. Pertronix Ignition - No more points, faster start, more power to sparkplugs 2. Pertronix Coil, 40,000 Volts 3. New Sparkplugs 4. New High Performance Sparkplug Wires 5. New Harmonic Balancer 6.

Ford Q3 pretax profits drop to $1.18B
Fri, 24 Oct 2014Following positive third quarter financial results recently from General Motors, rival Ford took a tumble in Q3. The automaker posted pre-tax profits of $1.18 billion, compared to about $2.59 billion in Q3 2013, a drop of around 54 percent. Net income also suffered with $835 million made in the quarter, versus $1.272 billion last year, a decline of about 34 percent. The Blue Oval blamed the gloomy figures on three reasons in its release: "lower volume, higher warranty costs and adverse balance sheet exchange effects."
There were problems of one kind or another in practically every region. North America experienced higher warranty costs than expected, partially due to recalls. The sales volume for the quarter was 665,000 units, versus 725,000 in Q3 2013, and pre-tax results amounted to $1.41 billion versus $2.296 billion last year.
South America and Europe both posted worse pre-tax results than last year. On the bright side, European volume was up slightly to 321,000 vehicles, from 303,000 in Q3 2013. The Middle East and Africa also lost $15 million, but that was an improvement compared to the $25 million loss previously experienced in this region.
Rowan Atkinson crashes at Goodwood Revival
Sun, 14 Sep 2014To quote Harry Hogge (played by Robert Duvall) in Days of Thunder, "rubbin, son, is racin'." That can mean some unfortunate damage to high-end racing machinery, which may be repaired easily enough in stock car racing, but when it comes to vintage racing, the stakes can be that much higher. And yet incidents do occur, like at this weekend's Goodwood Revival.
Among the many competitors taking part in the retro racing event in England was none other than Rowan Atkinson, the actor perhaps best known for playing Mr. Bean. Driving a classic Ford Falcon Sprint in the Shelby Cup event, Atkinson (pictured above at the 2012 revival) reportedly crashed head-on into another car on track.
According to reports, the two cars up spun out. The driver in between managed to avoid a pile-up, but Atkinson couldn't steer clear and hit the obstructing vehicle. Fortunately Rowan walked away unscathed (and, we imagine, in a humorous manner), but while we don't know how extensive the damage was to the Falcon, it was enough to take it out of the race.
Ford recalling nearly 700k Escape CUVs, C-Max hybrids over two separate safety issues
Fri, 09 May 2014Poor Escape. Ever since its launch in 2012, Ford's small CUV has been the subject of many, many, many recalls. And today, The Detroit News is reporting that Ford is adding two more recalls to the 2013-14 model year Escape's permanent record, one of them also involves the C-Max hybrid hatchback.
The first recall, covering 692,500 Escape and C-Max vehicles, is due to a software glitch that could cause the airbags - specifically, the safety canopy - to not deploy in a timely fashion during rollover crashes. According to the News, Ford says no crashes or injuries have been reported in relation to this problem.
The second recall, covering 692,700 Escapes, is related to the door handles. The News reports that the exterior door handles could open while the vehicle is in motion, and could also fail to latch properly. Once again, no crashes or injuries have occurred because of this. The National Highway Safety Traffic Administration has not issued an official notice on either recall as of this writing.
