 First things first. This is a 1969 so its not a Stroppe. Its a clone put together back in the late 70's. Secondly, this Bronco has a special history to me and I didn't think I would ever sell it, but we've got to move to Washington state from Mississippi and I've got too many vehicles to move. Doesn't mean I won't move them, it would be better if I didn't have too. That's probably the reason I've been lazy doing some small items that needed to be fixed.

This Bronco began life in Salt Lake. It spent most of its time in the Las Vegas and Eastern California area before moving North to Idaho. It made its way to Vancouver, WA where I purchased it after a short 8 or 9 month stay (the Bronco, not me). After a brief inspection,oil change and new set of 33" Maxxis Bighorn's, we set out for Mississippi. We left Vancouver, traveling down through Oregon, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas and finally Mississippi. The trip is recounted in issue 54 of Bronco Driver Magazine. Other than a loose connection on the battery and jumping out of 2 high in the transfer case it made the trip trouble free, getting 15.5 mpg. We spent some time offroading in the Mt. Carmel, Utah area searching for slot canyons. We covered 3044+ miles for the trip.

As for the Bronco, it has a good solid body. The only area of rust through I've found is a repaired area in the seam under the accelerator and brake pedals. I'll touch on the transfer case later but I opened up a small area in the floor to change out the shifter. This will need a cover plate installed. There are some dings in the body that will need some attention.  The paint is tired and needs to be freshened up. Or you could do like me and just drive it. All the glass is good. All  the doors open and close properly with new locks installed. The top is nice and the hatch opens and closes properly and it locks also.

The interior had some of the infamous "racing" bucket seats in it when I got it. It now has seats from a Taurus with the drivers seat being power. Let me say, I'm on the short side and also I like to sit higher up so I can see the front of the truck especially on trails. So the seats sit a little high for most probably. They're mounted to a frame work and bolted in place so could be easily removed and replaced if wanted. I didn't hook the power up permanent to the seat yet. The dash pad has a piece of material glued to it so I'm assuming its bad. All the instruments and controls with the exception of the fuel gauge (surprise, right) work. Both sending units are bad. Both tanks are good with no leaks. The wiper cover is in place and the wipers work great. I've put the Cherokee wiper arm conversion with conventional wiper blades on it. The headliner was painted sometime in the past and is flaking off now.

As for drive train. It has a 302, with a C4 automatic. Remember this is a 69, so I don't know when this transmission conversion was done. It was done with factory parts and looks nice. It has a Dana 30 in front and a 9" in the rear with 3:50 gears. I can't say what's in the differentials traction wise. I would assume they're open. The tires are 33" Maxxis Bighorns with less than 3500 miles. The chrome spoke wheels have some light rust pitting.

When I got it, it was manual steering and brakes. Since then I've put power steering and power brakes on it. The power steering system came from Bronco Graveyard and the brake conversion came from Horsepower Sales LLC. Both work great and I couldn't be happier with them. At the same time I put a 79 Ford truck tilt steering column in. I haven't put the lower firewall seal around the column but I have it. It has Warn hubs on it.

Now for the transfer case. On the trip, the transfer case began jumping out of gear. I used bungees to hold it in place for the rest of the trip. When I got home, I replaced it with another case I had. It's hard to shift and I'm not sure I'm any better off with it than I was with the other one. I bought a rebuilt transfer case and it comes with the Bronco.

That's about it. All questions should be directed through Ebay messaging. If you want to talk directly, send your number and I'll  call you back. I'm retired and available most of the time. I'll work with a shipper loading or should you want to fly in and drive it home I'll pick you up at the airport.

$500 deposit within 48 hours of auction end. Rest in cash at pickup. Cashier's check Ok, but must clear before transfer. IF YOU HAVE ZERO FEEDBACK, DON'T BID, I'LL CANCEL YOUR BID. NO EXCEPTIONS!!

Ford Announces Free Brake-Pad Offer If Customers Stop By Dealers

Mon, Aug 4 2014

These days, when you buy a new car, it's not unreasonable to expect a certain period of free maintenance to come along as well. Sometimes this is through the life of the warranty, in other cases a little less. But Ford Motor Company is going beyond those deals for at least one part of its cars. As of now, if you buy a set of Motorcraft brake pads for a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury model, you get free replacements for as long as you own the vehicle. The offer is good at Ford or Lincoln dealers and Quick Lane Tire & Auto Centers. "We will replace the pads for as long as you own the vehicle," said Elizabeth Weigandt to Autoblog. She did clarify that the Motorcraft pads are generally for models from the '90s or newer. Also, to take advantage of this program, a person must return to the same dealer each time to get the free parts. Of course, Ford isn't just handing out brake pads to anyone who walks by; there are certain stipulations. First, the components have to be worn down to less than three millimeters to be eligible, and the buyer still has to pay for the labor to install them. If the model is used as a fleet vehicle for commercial purposes like as a taxi or limousine, this offer also doesn't apply; the same thing for racecars. On the plus side, if you recently bought a set of pads from one of the participating locations, you're still in luck. The deal covers parts purchased as of July 1. "This program reflects our commitment to providing customers with an excellent ownership experience regardless of the age of their vehicle," said Frederiek Toney, President of Ford Customer Service, in the company's announcement of the offer.

Is that the Ford GT Le Mans racer in the background of this Forza video?

Mon, Jan 26 2015

Shortly after the reveal of the new Ford GT in Detroit a couple of weeks ago, Microsoft announced that it was putting the new American supercar on the cover of the upcoming sixth installment of the Forza Motorsport video game series. Now it has put out a video of the process of digitizing Dearborn's latest. Whether you're into Detroit steel (or carbon fiber and aluminum in this case), exotic supercars or video games, the video is worth a watch in and of itself. But our eyes were focused on something else. In the background of one shot (around the 1:49 mark) you can see a design board with renderings of what looks to be the rumored racing version of the GT – complete with reshaped air intakes, deeper side sills, a bigger rear wing and a central rear fin like you'd find on the latest LMP1 racing prototypes. It wouldn't be the first time we've caught wind of the prospect of the Blue Oval's new supercar going racing. We first heard of the plans last October, further reinforced in December with reports of the new GT coming to Detroit. And as we reported just a couple of weeks ago following the supercar's reveal, a return to Le Mans could be in the cards – which would be fortuitous timing, since next year will mark the 50th anniversary of the original GT40 scoring its landmark 1-2-3 finish in the 24-hour race.
