This Bronco originally came from Arizona as you can see from the original Ford "Finance AAD 419 BR Form" in the photographs. It was restored in Texas and than brought to Florida. It will be sold with a Clear Texas Title. It is has a current Texas Inspection sticker. This truck underwent a body off frame, complete mechanical and body dissassembly and reassembly restoration. In addition a 2 1/2" Skyjacker Lift Kit and Ford Bronco power steering were installed and rubber suspension parts were replaced with Urethane. Everything from bumper to bumper received attention including but not limited to: engine rebuild, transmission rebuild, transfer case rebuild, complete brake system replacement, complete steering linkage replacment, new springs, new shocks, new power steering, front and rear axle rebuild, u-joints and drive shafts rebuilt, new weatherstrips, new quick ratio steering box.

The transmission shifts smooth and effortlessly with no grinding of gears or synchronization problems. The brakes stop perfectly and in straight line with no pulling to the left or right. The steering is light and very responsive and the truck drive down the road perfetly straight with no pull to the left or right, the tires are about 10% worn and are wearing perfectly showing no signs of any suspension or alignment related problems. It does not have Air conditioning, but the heater works great. It has an original Ford Accessory front winch bumper with a Warn 8000 winch that was installed in 1973. The truck is very reliable and cruises perfectly at highway speeds thanks to the over sized 235/85 16 tires. There are no vibrations and it rides so smoothly you would think you were in a more modern vehicle. The engine, transmission, transfer case, axles etc. are all the original matching components. With an expensive paint job, this Bronco would be worth nearly 2 times the asking reserve price. If you want a Bronco that you can actually use without worrying about getting scratches or dings this is the truck for you. This truck was re-built the way Ford intended it to be from the factory. A tough SUV that is as useful off road as it is on the highway. If you want a $45,000 show truck at half the price, you are looking at the wrong Bronco.

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too
Fri, 07 Dec 2012We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
Ford's Explorer-based Police Interceptor to get 365-hp EcoBoost option
Tue, 20 Aug 2013Speeders beware, the police are going to be getting quite a bit faster. Ford has just announced that it will be offering its 3.5-liter, twin-turbocharged, EcoBoost V6 in the Explorer Police Interceptor. The new engine will be joining the existing 3.7-liter V6. The 365-horsepower, 350-pound-foot mill should be familiar to consumers as the powerplant that's found in the Ford Taurus SHO (and its LEO equivalent, the Taurus Police Interceptor) and the Ford Explorer Sport. It should also provide quite a kick in the pants to officers used to the naturally aspirated 3.7 and its 304 ponies and 279 pound-feet of torque.
The move to the more potent powerplant was born out of all the equipment officers need to carry on a day-to-day basis. These days, there's so much stuff that police need on a regular basis, that there's a genuine market for a faster Police Interceptor Utility, as it's known officially. The Explorer-based cruiser has already accounted for 68 percent of Ford's LEO sales in 2013, and that's with just the 3.7, and we'd only expect that number to increase once the twin-turbo, 3.5-liter V6 is available. Ford won't offer up any indication of what the take rate will be on the new engine, but we're guessing it'll be fairly high.
The success of the Explorer PI couldn't have come at a better time for Ford. The decision to end Crown Victoria production was not a popular one with police, and combined with Chevrolet and Dodge diving into the LEO market feet first, Ford hasn't been performing as well as it's wanted to. The Explorer has been helping it turn around, though. And with the inclusion of the EcoBoost, Ford also has a legit competitor for the Chevrolet Tahoe on the big utility side of the police market.
Did a US automaker blow the whistle on Hyundai, Kia fuel economy issue?
Mon, 17 Dec 2012In all of the most hotly contested mainstream segments of the motoring universe, the difference of one mile per gallon averaged on a widow sticker can mean the difference between a sale and a walk-off - to say nothing of two or three mpg. So, when Hyundai and Kia were forced to reveal that many of their 40-mpg ratings were actually 38s and 37s, well, it made for big news.
It also, conceivably, made for a competitive disadvantage immediately, when the Korean automakers' products were being shopped versus the guys down the block. And it's that disadvantage that makes a recent story from Automotive News so juicy.
AN is reporting that Margo Oge, former head of the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Transportation and Air Quality, got a tip in 2010 that Hyundai/Kia were "cheating" to get its impressive fuel economy numbers. The tip, said Oge (who retired from the EPA this past September), came from a senior vice president from a domestic automaker. The source was credible enough for Oge to launch an audit of the Hyundai figures, which ultimately lead to the debacle that we reported on a few months ago, and that the Korean company has been trying to bounce back from ever since.
