1974 Ford Bronco Early

Frame Off Restoration. RestoMod. Motor Swap. Body Swap.

This is an amazing Early bronco, it looks great, dialed in mechanically and drives wonderfully.  It will crawl or cruise (well) over highway speeds.  I drive it often up and down the highway to work or out on the town.  It tracks straight, shifts smooth and has no slack in the steering. The Bronco has a pronounced sound, with a nice deep growl produced by the 351 with headers and true dual side pipes.  It is tagged, titled and inspected.  All lights, electrical and gauges work too, of course.

The Bronco has had a number of modifications and improvements over the years, in multiple phases.  It began years ago as a frame off project from the ground up.  All components were improved. The frame was sand blasted and epoxy painted. Suspension replaces.  The drive train was imported to a Winsor 351 with C4 Automatic transmission.  Then topped off with a new fiberglass body, fenders, hardtop and hood; there is nearly $10k just in fiberglass parts (doors and tailgate are OEM metal). 

In more recent history it has brand interior; new smittybuilt front and rear seats (spice color), seat belts, new stereo (6x9s amp 12” sub), interior bed liner and matching soft top. I also have a fiberglass hardtop that is white, which will be included in the buy it now price.  If you do not care for the top I will lower the buy it now. 

New professional bodywork and paint with warrantee (factory red.) dash and interior doors also painted.  It is a good driver quality; prime, 4 coat red, 4 coat clear.  Paint is not show quality; it has not been wet sanded and buffered so therefore has a few imperfections.  But it works well from me, I didn’t want to overdo it and the paint detour me from using the truck at the trails near my house or letting the kids and dogs pile in and have fun cruising as a family. The odometer shows 46k, I don’t have evidence if this is the actual mileage or if it is truly 146k, but given it’s a restored condition, and a motor swap, the mileage is not a true depiction of the truck and of little concern.

This is my personal truck, so I obviously cannot offer a warranty or guarantee. The truck is also for sale locally, so I must reserve the right to end the auction anytime for any reason.  I’ve attempted to list everything as accurately as possible, but please feel free to ask any questions I will be happy to address (but due to the magnitude of questions and effort it requires to address, I must ask that you only ask questions if you are serious or have actually bid on the truck).

Wed, Sep 9 2015

Customers have spoken and automobile satisfaction is down in 2015. Autoblog's Chris McGraw reports on this edition of Autoblog Minute. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Customers have spoken and automobile satisfaction is down in 2015. I'm Chris McGraw and this is your Autoblog Minute. The American Customer Satisfaction Index or ACSI released its updated numbers and according to the survey, new car buyer satisfaction is down for the third straight year. According to an ACSI press release, customer satisfaction with new automobiles has fallen 3.7 percent, to 79 on its 100-point scale. The ACSI report is based on over 4,100 customer surveys collected in the second quarter of 2015 Sitting at the top of the industry in customer satisfaction is Toyota's Lexus brand with a score of 84. Which was good enough to dethrone Mercedes-Benz, which fell 3% to a score of 83. Of the Big Three, Ford was the only domestic automaker to maintain overall customer satisfaction with its score of 81. General Motors slipped 3% to 79 and Fiat Chrysler had a 5% drop, registering a score of 75 out the possible 100. What's driving this trend of customer dissatisfaction? ASCI points to the rise in recalls and car prices. Where do you land on customer satisfaction spectrum? Sound off in the comments with your thoughts on the current state of car ownership and brand quality. For Autoblog, I'm Chris McGraw.

Winnebago re-introduces classic Brave RV [w/video]

Fri, Jun 6 2014

Winnebago is saying 'Let's do the time warp again,' using its new Brave RV to do it – have a look at the first Winnebago RV from 1966 and you'll know exactly where this one comes from. The modern version of this swinging sixties motorhome is accurate from its size, either 26- or 27-foot version, to its trademark eyebrow above the front windshield. The foldaway bunk above the front seats that necessitated the eyebrow design has been updated, and is now a power bed that descends from the ceiling. It is among a set of standard features that also includes a 19-foot motorized awning, leveling jacks at all four corners, heated mirrors, LED ceiling lights, two available floorplans and detailing like a workstation for the front passenger, a sliding dash cluster and and a waterfall countertop in the kitchen with built-in extensions. The Brave sits on a Ford F53 chassis complete with its Triton V10 engine and five-speed automatic transmission. No word yet on any potential diesel alternatives. Naturally, that 1966 price of $4,000 will also come in for an update, but the company hasn't yet revealed it. The good folks from Winnebago will be happy to take you on a thorough personal tour of the Brave in the video below. This content is hosted by a third party.

Ford C-Max, Fusion hybrids subject of MPG lawsuit in California

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

A California lawsuit over the fuel economy claims for the 2013 Ford C-Max was first reported back in December. Based on the numerous reports we've heard of disgruntled owners failing to get their car's EPA fuel economy ratings on the C-Max and 2013 Fusion Hybrid, we suspected there would be more to this story. The Detroit News is reporting that two California law firms are combining their lawsuits against Ford on this matter for "false and misleading" claims.
The article states that there are hundreds of C-Max and Fusion Hybrid owners who have joined the lawsuit, but the issue isn't limited to customers. In December, Consumer Reports extensively tested both the Fusion Hybrid and C-Max and found that both hybrids performed significantly worse than their EPA claims. This all comes just a few months after Hyundai and Kia took the unprecedented step of lowering the fuel economy ratings for all of their 2012 and 2013 model-year vehicles.
