Up for auction is my 1969 Bronco Sport. Firstly the pictures are 4 years old....the Bronco is buried in the back of my garage where it has sat for the past 4 years. I will add more pics when I get it out! My plan was to restore it but I never got around to it. Have too many other projects going on and decided to let it go. It has a 351W engine, 3 speed column shift, 4WD, and standard brakes and steering. The roof is NOT a factory half cab. It is a standard wagon roof that was cut down by the previous owner and it was done very nicely. From the outside the only way you can tell is that it has a hatchback instead of the regular rear window. The divider behind the seats was fabricated by the same guy who did the roof. It needs a full restoration but is a VERY good candidate for one! It is VERY straight but rusty. I did find a rust hole in the frame near the LR shock mount but repairing it shouldn't be a problem, it didn't go to either flange. It has the typical Bronco rust in the floors and you can see the rocker panels. There is no exhaust, just short down pipes on the exhaust manifolds. Fenders and hood are very good other than some rust through in the leading edge of the hood on the right hand side. The rear door posts where the door strikers are need replaced. Front posts seem pretty solid and the doors close pretty good. Dash pad is no good and glove box door is bent. The brakes are not working at all. When I bought it the LR emergency brake cable was frozen and I had to cut it to get the brake to release. It could be pulled on a tow dolly but you would have to bring tires for it, I would not recommend pulling it on the tires that are on it. I will help load it. I did have the engine running when I bought it but the carb was leaking gas. I did drive it around a little and the 4WD worked and the transmission worked in all gears. The electrical system seemed good, most of the lights worked and I suspect the ones that didn't had corrosion issues with the bulbs. It had sat for 7 years when I bought it. I have the PA title in my name. Buyer would be responsible for transfer fees and there is a notary about 15 minutes from me. I accept Paypal or cash when picked up. I will help load it. It is also for sale locally at the buy it now price so the auction may end at any time. If you have any questions feel free to contact me! Thanks for looking! I have removed it from the garage and added more pictures. The front floors have been repaired and do not look bad, they are solid. There is rust through behind the seat in the floor. I included a picture of the rusted out part of the frame. It is on the bottom between the axle and rear spring hanger. Still repairable in my opinion, it is a box frame and could easily be pieced in and reinforced. The floor in the rear isn't bad, just a few spots around the edges. ****Edit-7/18/14**** I just want to clarify about the hole in the frame. It is clearly visible in the last picture. In this picture you are looking at the LR corner of the Bronco from underneath looking back. The hole is beside the spring hanger on the bottom of the frame. |

Ford and Chrysler reducing summer plant shutdowns
Wed, 22 May 2013Most domestic automaker assembly plants traditionally take a couple of weeks off during the summer. The shutdowns give each plant time for much needed repairs and maintenance, and in some cases, help better align production with demand. Not this year, though, as demand for many models is outstripping what Ford, Chrysler and General Motors plants can produce.
Ford has announced that it will shorten its annual summer shutdown for most North American plants from two weeks to one. The shorter shutdown will increase the carmaker's annual North American production by 40,000 units on top of the 200,000 extra units that it was already planning to produce this year versus last. Automotive News reports that Ford produced 2.8 million vehicles on this continent in 2012, and that output this year has already increased 13 percent through April.
Chrysler, meanwhile, is also operating at full tilt and plans to run some plants through the summer with no shutdown at all. Those not getting a break include Jefferson North where the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango are assembled, Toledo North that will assemble the new Cherokee, and Conner Avenue, home of SRT Viper production. Other assembly plants will be down for a single week, while all of Chrysler's engine and transmission plants except one in Indiana will continue operating with no shutdown this summer.
Ford reveals all-new Everest SUV at Asia-Pacific forum [w/poll]
Thu, 13 Nov 2014While the Explorer may have shifted from a truck-based sport-ute to a car-based crossover, Ford still offers buyers on the other side of the Pacific a Ranger-based SUV in the form of the Everest. And at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit in Beijing today, the Blue Oval revealed the all-new version you see here.
Previewed in concept form over a year ago and made specifically for the Asia-Pacific market, the new Ford Everest is designed to be more refined on the road and more capable off of it. Like the Explorer once was, the new Everest is based on a stretched version of the overseas Ford Ranger pickup. Depending on the specific market, Ford will offer the new Everest with a range of engines including a 2.0-liter EcoBoost turbo four and two Duratorq turbodiesels - a 2.2-liter four and a 3.2-liter inline-five - mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.
Earmarked to take on the likes of the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado (known in these parts as the Lexus GX) and the Jeep Grand Cherokee, the new Everest promises rock-crawlers even better off-road capabilities. It's got nearly nine inches of ground clearance, over 30 inches of wading depth, a 29-degree approach and 25-degree departure angles and a set of features including on-the-fly adjustable four-wheel drive.
Watch these videos of an NHRA racer's bodywork blowing off into a crowd
Tue, 23 Apr 2013Just a few months ago, fan safety at racetracks was a hot topic following the last-lap NASCAR Nationwide Series crash at Daytona that sent large pieces of racecars into the grandstands injuring 33 fans. Now, a freak incident at a National Hot Rod Association event resulted in a drag racer's bodywork flying into the crowd at the NHRA Four-Wide Nationals in Charlotte over the weekend. The carbon-fiber body of Robert Hight's Ford Mustang funny car blew off toward the end of a run when his engine exploded, but fortunately, the two fans evaluated after the incident were later released without serious injury.
As you can see in the image above, the body flew high into the air before landing on a walkway in front of the grandstands, a bit of happenstance that likely gave most fans enough time and space to move out of the way. Scroll down to watch a couple of videos showing what happened, including one from a fan's perspective that also reveals what appears to be part of the body's metal bracing landing dangerously close to the crowd.
