This is a 1971 Stroppe prepared Baja Bronco. This Bronco is number 6 on the Baja Bronco registry. It has a deluxe Marti report. I have driven this Bronco from California to the state of Washington to Mississippi. I drove it to the Bronco meet in Townsend, Tennessee. In other words I go where I want to in it. The paint is driver quality and although nice it does have some minor rock chips and such from driving. Its been on trails around Moab and over several of the high passes in Colorado including Black Bear, Imogene and Engineers. As I said, its a driver.
So, why am I selling. Its at a point where I've got to have air conditioning. Simple as that. Installing AC is not my first choice. So I thought I would try to sell it and if that doesn't work then I'll bite the bullet and install AC. I would consider a trade but ONLY for a really NICE 72 - 77, air conditioned, automatic Bronco. If its got rust or had major panels replaced, not interested.
Now for the details. This is a nice rust free March/1971 Bronco. I picked it up from Andrew Norton in Saratoga, CA last year. As best we can tell, this Bronco was never abused, neglected or left to sit for extended periods of time. It still has the original interior in it except for the dash pad and floor mat. It has extra insulation on the firewall and floors. All the glass is good. As I stated, the paint is good not show quality but great for a driver. The front edges of the front fenders were trimmed at some time to clear larger wheels and tires. All gauges, signal lights, horn, and tanks work as they should. Heater, defroster and windshield wipers all function properly. The steering wheel is the original Stroppe rubber wheel, not pristine, but still the original one.
The engine and trans have been freshened up, it has power steering and power disc brakes on the front. 9" rear and dana 44 front with 4.10 gears and locking hubs. The tires and wheels are new with less than 10000 miles on them. It has a new carb on it. H4 lights with aftermarket harness upgrade. New centech wiring harness.
I could go on and on, but if you're looking at this ad, you probably already know what you're looking at. This is not one of those BS ads about a Baja Bronco you see on here every so often. This is a good solid serviceable Bronco, you'll be proud to own and drive.
I encourage questions since this is a high end purchase. I can be reached through eBay messaging or you can text or call 662-three six four-3368 most anytime since I'm retired.
If you have zero feedback, don't waste my time. It never works out. If you don't have the cash, don't waste my time. $2000 non-refundable deposit within 48 hours of end of sale through Paypal, rest in cash at pickup unless prior arrangements are made.
Thanks for your time

Ford director says company has big efficiency plans, but no dedicated EV
Wed, Mar 12 2014The annual autofest known as the North American International Auto Show previews a plethora of exciting new products that we'll see and drive later in the year, from tiny urban commuters to family sedans and crossovers to hard-working big pickups and SUVs. It's also a once-a-year cornucopia of auto executives and leaders from around the world. "There will be some really fun stuff that you'll hear about in the future" - Ford's Kevin Layden So, in-between dozens of cool new-product unveilings on rotating stages during the two press days preceding the public show, we auto scribes grab what planned and impromptu interviews we can. Sessions with top industry leaders can be hard to get, but I was able to score a seat in a group session with then-General Motors North America president (now executive VP of global product development) Mark Reuss, and I also managed brief one-on-ones with a trio of vehicle electrification leaders, one each from Ford, BMW and GM, and what they said then remains relevant now. First up is Kevin Layden, Ford's Director of Electrified Powertrain Engineering. ABG: Where will Ford go beyond its current Focus EV and hybrids, and will there be a Ford EV and/or hybrid on its own energy-optimized platform one day. KL: We don't want to do a dedicated electric vehicle with all the development costs borne by a niche product. At the Michigan Assembly plant right now we're building the Focus electric, PHEV and EcoBoost on the same assembly line. Also the C-Max, with both a hybrid and an Energi plug-in, and we use that same power pack in the Fusion Hybrid and Energi. We want to be, "The power of choice" [a Ford marketing slogan], so having that choice for customers is very important. And if I want to sell the Fusion, Focus and C-Max globally, we can use these power packs wherever it makes sense. So as we go forward, you'll see us proliferating the power packs we have today. Then the question is, what do we do next? There will be some really fun stuff that you'll hear about in the future. ABG: Is the efficiency difference between a dedicated ultra-efficient vehicle platform and a shared multi-use platform getting smaller as all platforms get more efficient? KL: Exactly. Were going through aero studies now on wheels and tires and hood sealers on base vehicles. We have full aerodynamic wind tunnel studies going on with the base Focus and C-Max, so all of that [aerodynamic improvement] will be there for EVs.

Ford to update Sync, MyFord Touch software... again
Wed, 07 Aug 2013Ford hasn't had the best luck with its MyFord Touch and Sync systems, as the finicky infotainment system has been subject to a critical whooping while customer issues have helped sink Ford's IQS scores. The automaker has made a concerted effort, though, to try and fix MyFord Touch. And while the results have been mixed, The Blue Oval is hoping its latest free update, set to go live next week, will make things better.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the new system promises streamlined voice commands with fewer levels between opening query and actual result. Ford is also addressing where certain options are selected on the touchscreen. Rather than working one of the four quadrants on the homescreen, users will be able to select anywhere within the quadrant to make adjustments.
While it might only be a band-aid for MFT's problems, the fact that Ford is still trying to improve it is a promising sign. It's going to take more than just this update to address the system's ills, though.
