I have up for bid a rare 1973 Ford Bronco 4x4 with the Ranger trim package. This was purchased form the original owners, and had been in barn storage for the past 23 years. This Bronco features the original 302 V8 engine and automatic transmission. This is going to be sold as a project or parts vehicle due to the amount of rust that the body has in it. I have taken quite a few photos to try to give a good idea of what you would be getting. Both front fenders are very rusty, especially inside the door jams. Both doors are gone, not available. Even if they were still with the truck, there is nothing left to hold the hinges due to rust out. The tail gate is rusted out, as well as the inner rear fender wells. There are two large rust holes in the floor of the cargo area as well. The top/roof appears to be in very good condition and is not rusted out at all that I have found. The inner grill is in good condition, as well as the hood. The engine is not locked up, and with a little effort should be able to get it running. I have all four original hubcaps and also have the spare tire carrier. The rear bench seat is no longer with the truck. The front seats are in fair to good condition. All of the window glass is in tact and usable. The tires are all dry rotted from having sat for so many years. Three out of the four tires hold air. The left front will not take air. The rear inner side panel have been removed and are no longer available. The odometer is currently reading 09983, which I believe is going to be 109, 983 actual miles.
The factory color is Wind Blue. The truck came equipped with the Ranger package, power steering, delete tape treatment, 4450 LB GVW package, Cruise-o-matic, RH chrome mirror, LH Remote control mirror, Body Side Moulding, Extra cooling radiator with a total sticker price of $4951.48 new. Bought new in Harrisonville, MO at Marvin Burris Ford-Mercury on 05/25/73
I have just about all of the original paperwork that came with this truck, including the window sticker, original owner's manual, and original sales invoice. I realize that this Bronco has a LOT of rust, but there is still a lot of potential to restore this rare truck. OR there are a lot of good, usable parts for this to be a donor for another 66-73 Bronco. These first generation Broncos are becoming more and more difficult to find, and in nice condition are commanding big prices so this is very much a worthwhile project to invest in.
Please ask any and all questions prior to bidding. ALL SALES FINAL! Winning bidder is required to make full payment within 3 DAYS of the close of the auction through Paypal. I will only accept cash in hand if the buyer is able to come pick the Bronco up within the allotted time period required for full payment. Again, please contact me prior to the auction ending if you have a question about this or anything else regarding this auction.
I will not make shipping arrangements. That is the responsibility of the buyer. This truck is for pickup ONLY, and must be picked up at my location (ZIP 64040) within 20 days of the auction ending unless PRIOR arrangements are made with me before the auction ends. Please do not send me a message AFTER the auction has ended and tell me that it will be longer than 20 days before you can pick this up. I will charge a daily storage fee after the 20 days has past. I hate to be that way, but too many times I have sold items such as this and they have sat at my place for months on end waiting to be picked up.
NOTE REGARDING MY FEEDBACK - Please take a look at the ONE negative feedback that I have. The buyer attempted to remove the negative feedback, but for some reason was unable to do so. He stated that it was miscommunication and that he was satisfied with his purchase. I pride myself in being honorable in my transactions, and try hard to describe items that I am offering to the best of my ability.
Please take a look at the other items that I have up for auction, and thank you for stopping by!

James May picks 13 most significant cars ever for London Classic Car Show
Fri, Jan 2 2015James May tends to be the most pragmatic of the Top Gear UK hosting crew. Jeremy Clarkson obviously likes his vehicles loud, brash and preferably British, and Richard Hammond seems to have a thing for American muscle. May appears to find joy just in the mechanical nature of things, whether high performance or simply made for getting around. He's getting a chance to put that appreciation on display by curating a 13-car collection at the London Classic Car Show called The Cars That Changed The World. May actually wants to provoke debate from visitors about the exhibit and is separating his choices into two categories: The Halls of Obviousness and The Chambers of Bloody-mindedness. The first bunch includes the usual important vehicles you expect to see, but the other group has the really interesting picks. As May explains these selections in the event announcement, "I believe they are just as significant historically but they've simply been forgotten or misunderstood." The obvious choices are: 1886 Benz Motorwagen 1908 Ford Model T 1938 Volkswagen Beetle 1959 Austin Mini 1964 Ford Mustang 1997 Toyota Prius And the more eccentric ones are: 1901 Waverley Electric 1906 Cadillac Model K 1933 Standard Superior 1972 Honda Civic 1980 Lada Riva 2009 Bruno ExoMars Rover If you notice, there are only 12 vehicles listed above. That's because the final one is being kept secret for show attendees, but May considers it the most significant car ever made. The London Classic Car Show runs at the ExCeL in London's Docklands from January 8-11, 2015. In addition to May's exhibit and the other vehicles there, Formula 1 designer Adrian Newey is also curating a display from his own collection. May is hoping to spur conversations with his choices. Let us know in Comments if you notice any glaring omissions that should be among the 13. Read the full announcement below, along with a brief explanation for each choice from May. GET READY FOR A CLASSIC ARGUMENT 30/12/14 James May has chosen the 13 most significant cars of all time for The London Classic Car Show... but is he right? It's bold, controversial and bound to cause arguments... and that's just the way BBC Top Gear's James May wants it. May has stuck his neck on the line and has chosen what he regards are the 13 most influential cars of all time. The result is The Cars That Changed The World and it's one of the star exhibits at the London Classic Car Show taking place at ExCeL in London's Docklands from 8-11 January 2015.
Car Stories: Owning the SHO station wagon that could've been
Fri, Oct 30 2015A little over a year ago, I bought what could be the most interesting car I will ever own. It was a 1987 Mercury Sable LS station wagon. Don't worry – there's much more to this story. I've always had a soft spot for wagons, and I still remember just how revolutionary the Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable were back in the mid-1980s. As a teenager, I fell especially hard for the 220-horsepower 1989 Ford Taurus SHO – so much so that I'd go on to own a dozen over the next 20 years. And like many other quirky enthusiasts, I always wondered what a SHO station wagon would be like. That changed last year when I bought the aforementioned Sable LS wagon, festooned with the high-revving DOHC 3.0-liter V6 engine and five-speed manual transmission from a 1989 Taurus SHO. In addition, the wagon had SHO front seats, a SHO center console, and the 140-mph instrument cluster with mileage that matched the engine. When I bought it, that number was just under 60,000 – barely broken in for the overachieving Yamaha-sourced mill. The engine and transmission weren't the only upgrades. It wore dual-piston PBR brakes with the choice Eibach/Tokico suspension combo in front. The rear featured SHO disc brakes with MOOG cargo coils and Tokico shocks, resulting in a wagon that handled ridiculously well while still retaining a decent level of comfort and five-door functionality. I could attack the local switchbacks while rowing gears to a 7,000-rpm soundtrack just as easily as loading up on lumber at the hardware store. Over time I added a front tower brace to stiffen things a bit as well as a bigger, 73-mm mass airflow sensor for better breathing, and I sourced some inexpensive 2004 Taurus 16-inch five-spoke wheels, refinished in gunmetal to match the two-tone white/gunmetal finish on the car. That, along with some minor paint and body work, had me winning trophies at every car show in town. And yet, what I loved most about the car wasn't its looks or performance, but rather its history. And here's where things also get a little philosophical, because I absolutely, positively love old used cars. Don't get me wrong – new cars are great. Designers can sculpt a timeless automotive shape, and engineers can construct systems and subsystems to create an exquisite chassis with superb handling and plenty of horsepower. But it's the age and mileage that turn machines into something more than the sum of their parts.
