Available is a rare Bronco. It's a 1974 Explorer edition only available in 1973, 74, and 76. This is the only way you could order an early Bronco with a Red/Red combination. The Ranger package didn't offer a Red interior. The color code is T which is Candy Apple Red, which is very rare. Most Explorers were Rangoon Red. You can tell how beautiful this color is on the door strikers, where there's no oxidation. This Bronco has a 351W with AT and PS. It is a barn find from Arkansas. I haven't washed or waxed it, I've only wiped it down, as they say it's farm fresh!

It has it's fair share of dings and dents, but the paint is ORIGINAL and it's ready to come back to life with a little (actually a lot) of wax. The tires are 31's on factory steel rims. The motor turns and has spark. I have not tried to start it yet, but the PO says it ran when parked (don't they all)!

It has a complete Koenig dealer option PTO winch. It's 100% complete, these have a resale value of $550-$600. The rear bumper is a dealer option too for Broncos. It has good brakes, the tranny and t'case shift fine. and the engine bay is complete. It is very solid and has very little rust. All sheet metal is usable and should be reused, including floors, doors, hood, tailgate, windshield frame, and kick panels. The frame has surface rust, not scale. It should clean up easy. 

 Too bad its cut, but boy is she solid. It's a great restoration project for the right person. There is no top. I have a decent top that I will include in the sale, the glass is out but included, and it needs paint. I'll also include an original Red Explorer rear seat in good condition.  It is sold with a clear title.

Check out the prices on Ebay. There are 20K+ vehicles and junk! This one falls in between, which are getting hard to find, especially with the rare Explorer package, AT, PS, PTO winch and original paint!! Sorry the pictures are poor. Additional pictures for serious buyers.

All questions will be answered. Bidders with zero or negative feedback will have their bids retracted if you don't contact me first. I reserve the right to end the auction early as the Bronco is being sold locally as well. A $500 non refundable deposit is due at the end of the auction. Paypal is fine. Balance in cash or wire transfer. THANKS!


On Nov-13-13 at 19:47:58 PST, seller added the following information:

It was brought to my attention that I listed the title as salvage, that is incorrect. It has a clear title. I can send a picture of the title per your request.


I also had a question about the engine. The PO told me it was a 351W, it looks like the original 302 to me. I'll look closer and update the listing.

Obama to herald auto industry turnaround from idled Ford plant

Tue, Jan 6 2015

President Barack Obama will tout the recent successes of the American auto industry in a speech on Wednesday. This would be a fine and dandy plan aside from two small hitches. First, the president is visiting Ford's Wayne, MI factory, which is rather strange considering the government bailed out the company's local rivals, Chrysler and General Motors. Even more worrying, considering the topic of the speech, is that the Wayne facility has been idled due to a lack of demand. According to The Detroit News, the White House said the speech will focus on "the workers in the resurgent American automotive and manufacturing sector now that the auto rescue has been completed and the decision to save the auto industry and the over one million jobs that went with it." Wayne Assembly employs some 5,100 Michiganders when its lines are up and running, but as gas prices have plunged below $2 per gallon in some areas over the past month, its fuel-efficient products – the Focus and C-Max – have seen their sales plummet, as well. In December, the Focus' year-over-year sales were down 4.4 percent, while the C-Max dipped 3.3 percent, Ford told The News. Lagging sales for the two compacts aren't a new thing, though. Focus sales in all of 2014 were down 6.4 percent, while the C-Max struggled with a 21.6-percent drop last year. According to The News, Ford made the decision to idle the factory before being approached by the White House. Considering that, we wonder what the team at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue was thinking when it selected the Ford facility, and what impact the location will have on the president's message.

2016 Green Truck of the Year, Commercial Green Car of the Year finalists

Sat, Oct 24 2015

Not only are commercial-grade haulers getting more green love lately, they're getting more different kinds of green love. The 2016 Green Truck of the Year, the second time the award has been handed out, is being decided by judges from Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show. This year the award is joined by the new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year, which crowns one of the little vans increasingly used by small business as cargo and delivery vehicles. The Green Truck of the Year finalists are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax (pictured), Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. The first three of those were on last year's list, but since they are completely new or upgraded for 2016 - Ford with its all-aluminum body, the General Motors twins with the new diesel Duramax engine - they qualify for entry again. The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel won last year. The Commercial Green Car finalists are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. You can read more details in the presser below, and the awards will be announced in San Antonio sometime during the show from November 19-22. San Antonio Auto & Truck Show Announces 2016 Green Truck of the Year and Commercial Green Car of the Year Finalists SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show have announced finalists for the 2016 Green Truck of the Year™ and 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ awards. The Green Truck of the Year™ nominees are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax, Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. Vying for the all-new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. "Over the past few decades, new car models have benefitted from design and technology improvements that have brought higher fuel efficiency and greater levels of environmental compatibility," said Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com Editor and Publisher Ron Cogan. "With models like these ten deserving finalists, we're witnessing the pickup and light commercial vehicle field enjoying the same attention." The new Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award is part of an expanded awards program presented at this year's 2015 San Antonio Auto & Truck Show.

Time to catch up with Jay Leno's Garage, including his Lamborghini Espada restoration

Tue, Dec 23 2014

If you're already jealous of the time, effort and money that Jay Leno can devote to his massive car collection, prepare to get a little greener with envy with this latest video from Jay Leno's Garage. Instead of the usual format of discussing a model for about ten minutes and then taking it out for a test drive, this week Leno gives viewers on a tour of over a dozen projects concurrently happening in his stable. The breadth of the vehicles shown and the things being done to them run the entire span of the automotive hobby. At the same time, Jay's shop is working on just a simple restoration of his 1969 Lamborghini Espada (pictured), and at the other side of the building, the team is rebuilding a wood-bodied 1914 Detroit Electric from scratch. He eventually plans to slot a more modern electric drivetrain into it. If bikes are more your interest, there's a freshly completed Brough Superior just waiting for a ride, and if American models are your thing, a Ford Bronco is getting a Coyote V8 installed into it. You have some very specific tastes if you can't watch this clip and start wishing at least one of these vehicles could be in your own garage. Other than the personal projects his mechanics are working on in the shop, Jay gets to have them all, plus plenty more.
