1971 Bill Stroppe prepared Baja Edition Bronco, rust free, highly optioned very nice Bronco. This Baja is on the Baja Bronco Registry and is a highly optioned Baja. It had all of the standard options. Saginaw power steering (present), Stroppe lettered automatic transmission adapter (present), padded steering wheel (not present), Stroppe Deluxe roll bar (present), trailer hitch (not present), dual shocks (present), cut fender rear wells (present), trimmed front fenders (present), spare tire cover (reproduction), and front bumper braces (passenger side present). In addition to the standard package, this Baja has a very cool Stroppe installed hood scoop. I found this Bronco painted green and the interior was brushed with asphalt emulsion. It was horrible to remove but kept the original floorboards rust free. The Bronco was given a paint job using Dupont Chromabase materials. All the chrome, the bumpers, and all the lenses were replaced. The suspension parts and axles were removed and all parts were powder coated when possible, otherwise painted. A 2 1/2" suspension lift was installed with all new poly bushings and 8 new shocks. The frame and underside of the tub were thoroughly cleaned and painted. I found some vintage American Racing slotted aluminum wheels, had them polished, and put 32x11.50 BFG All Terrain tires on. The seat springs and frames were powder coated and new foam and upholstery was installed. The dash was painted its original parchment color and the pad was replaced. The engine compartment was cleaned, painted, the gaskets were replaced on the motor. New valve covers, air cleaner, and exhaust have been installed. Many other things have been done to this Bronco such as a larger after-market fuel tank and a dual motor wiper conversion kit. A few custom touches have also been added to this Bronco. Bronco Design Roadster style door inserts were installed with custom belt line chrome added to the inserts. Bronco Design rear flares were put on, custom rivet-style bolts were used, and hood pins were installed to give it a super clean look. Running gear on this Bronco is all in excellent condition. The transmission shifts beautifully and the 351W is very powerful. 2 1/4" exhaust with glass packs makes this Bronco sound unbelievable. This Bronco draws a lot of attention at car shows or driving down the freeway. It looks and runs amazing, however it is 1971 technology and it's lifted with wide tires and a short wheel base. Every time I take it out, it takes me a minute to get used to driving it. Additionally this Bronco sits in the garage most of the time. It has always run great for me but I only take it out a few times a year. It's being sold as-is with no warranties. The fuel gauge has stopped working properly. The needle moves when you turn the key on but stays on E. The rear main does drip a little bit due to sitting. The radio is just a face plate only, I did not need an AM only radio but like the clean look of the original. This Bronco has performed excellent for me but I have only driven it to local car shows and parties. The paint is about 5 years old so some rock chips and normal wear and tear has occurred. Feel free to give me a call with any questions or to come take a look and drive it. My number is 360-921-4278. Seller is responsible for arranging and paying for shipping. My house is very near I-5 and there is a truck stop 5 minutes from my house for easy pick-up. Here are a couple of videos of my Bronco: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5HMqcy0H44 and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lx0jy1BDNYI |

Focus STs for SEMA include Lotus and Gulf liveries, rally-fied police car
Tue, 22 Oct 2013Ford, as we mentioned on Saturday, is pulling out all the stops for November's SEMA show, bringing 57 vehicles to the Las Vegas event. Ford will be staggering the release of its SEMA flotilla, though, so expect to hear a lot about the new additions to the fleet in the weeks to come. We already showed you the Fiesta, Fiesta ST and Mustang models that made up the first batch of SEMA cars. Next up, we have a quartet of modded Focus STs joining Ford's SEMA roster.
Our first Focus ST (pictured above) sports the legendary livery of Gulf Racing. The orange-on-blue scheme, which Ford helped make famous at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, has been updated for 2013, with a more vibrant blue. This ST was built by Universal Technical Institute, while the exterior was done by Neil Tjin of Tjin Edition. Side exhausts, a Vortech supercharger and a Motiv Concepts high-flow cat allow the ST to breathe a bit easier, while Forgestar wheels contrast well with the iconic paint scheme.
Focus ST number two has been done-up by PM Lifestyle and is inspired by "Southern California car culture." Sporting a sleek, pale blue paint job, there's also no shortage of carbon fiber on the car's exterior. The 2.0-liter, turbocharged, four-cylinder engine has been massaged by the likes of Banks Power, COBB Tuning and Ford Racing, while the suspension is wearing a shiny, new set of coilovers and sway bars. The meaty brakes, tucked behind 19-inch, Rotiform wheels, come from Wilwood, while the cabin has been fitted with a pair of Sparco Chrono seats and five-point, Schroth harnesses.
Shelby American cleans house of 14 concept cars
Wed, 25 Jun 2014Typically when an automaker rolls out a concept car or pre-production prototype, it does its tour and then disappears into the company's archives. Maybe it will be displayed for the public to see in the company's own museum or maybe it will spend most of its time under covers in a warehouse somewhere, but every once in a while, an automaker will open up its history and start selling off its concept cars. For Shelby American, "once in a while" has just rolled around.
The House that Carroll Built is moving from its previous headquarters at Las Vegas Motor Speedway to a new facility off of the Las Vegas strip, and in the process is liquidating fourteen of the rarest cars in its collection. That presents a tremendous opportunity for muscle car collectors to bring one or more of these snakes home.
As you might expect, the catalog is composed mostly of Mustangs, but not exclusively. There's a pair of 289 Cobras: the last of the 50th anniversary slab-sided continuation cars and an original development vehicle, offered at $200,000 apiece. At the other end of the spectrum you'll find the 2013 Shelby Raptor concept for $125k and Focus concept for $50k. And of course there are the Mustangs.
Ford to cease Australian automaking operations after 90 years
Thu, 23 May 2013Ford began manufacturing cars in Australia in 1925 with the Model T. In 2016, Ford will stop manufacturing cars Down Under, including the Falcon and the Territory SUV. Ford Australia CEO Bob Graziano has reportedly confirmed the closure of the company's Broadmeadows assembly plant and the Geelong engine plant, both in the state of Victoria. There will be 650 jobs lost at Broadmeadows, 510 sacrificed at Geelong. Of the roughly 3,000 workers the Blue Oval has in Australia, it's said it will try to retain about 1,000 of them at its R&D and product development facilities.
The writing hasn't just been on the wall, it's been a regular item in all the papers and on Ford's bottom line for years. As recently as 2003, Ford sold nearly 75,000 Falcons, but over the next four years, annual sales dropped by something like 10,000 units, and over the last two years, it has sold less than 20,000 per year. It isn't only Ford that has suffered - sales of the other large, locally produced sedan, the Holden Commodore, have also gone over the precipice, triggering the same kind of angst about Holden's continued existence. Ford is the smallest of Australia's local automakers, Holden and Toyota the others, and has posted losses of $AUD141 million last year ($136M US) and $AUD600 million ($580M US) in the past five years. Graziano said the cost of manufacturing is simply too expensive in the country, twice as high as Europe and three times as high as Asia, and there no way to make a business case for staying in the country.
In January 2012, Ford Australia announced it would stay in the country until at least 2016, but by July of the same year, most outside observers were quietly declaring that 2016 would be the last year of Ford Down Under, and even the speculation was making other observers nervous. Ford received money from the Victorian government last year to aid its refresh of the Falcon and Territory, which will continue on schedule for the 2014 model year. A front- and all-wheel-drive sedan on a global platform is predicted to replace the Falcon, with some other SUV expected to replace the Territory. The company says it still intends to expand its lineup in the country.
