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!

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.

Lincoln Continental production likely to shift to Flat Rock

Fri, Jun 12 2015

Lincoln production may be returning to Michigan, according to a new report from Automotive News. While the brand's current big sedan, the MKS, is built alongside the Ford Taurus, Ford Explorer, and their Police Interceptor counterparts at the Blue Oval's Chicago, IL factory, the production version of the Continental won't be screwed together in the Windy City. According to AN, "industry sources" claim the Continental will join the Ford Mustang and Ford Fusion – on which the big Lincoln is loosely based – at the company's Flat Rock, MI factory. The move isn't just based on convenience, though. Ford is selling a lot of Explorers, and shifting Lincoln production away from Chicago Assembly frees up production capacity for the popular SUV. "Chicago Assembly Plant is vital to our global manufacturing footprint and will continue to manufacture the Ford Taurus, Ford Explorer and Police Interceptor vehicles even after we phase out production of the MKS in 2016," Ford told Automotive News. "We will continue to match production to demand." Looking at the numbers further backs up the argument against Lincoln production in Chicago. Last year alone, Ford built nearly 285,000 Explorers and over 73,000 Taurus sedans, compared to just 8,300 Lincolns. Finally, as AN tells it, Ford is almost telegraphing the Continental's arrival in Flat Rock. The facility has a four-week shut down scheduled from June 15 through July 13, which is twice as long as the typical summer vacation, while there's another two weeks off slated for September.

2015 Ford Mustang spied on video for the first time

Thu, 20 Jun 2013

Not many cars will continue to hold our rapt attention quite like the upcoming redesigned 2015 Ford Mustang, codenamed S550 internally. Earlier this month, we brought you the first spy photos of a next-gen Mustang prototype out testing, and even though expertly placed cladding concealed the pony car's new shape, we could tell that underneath was hiding an altogether new form inspired by the Evos Concept from 2011.
Today we give you some video of what looks to be the same Mustang prototype, which you can watch below, and while the budding director behind the camera wasn't able to capture much in the way of the engine's audio signature, we can see the car in motion for the first time and compare its relative size and shape to the S197 Mustang GT that's on its tail.

Hertz goes Dutch with Ford Focus ST-H

Wed, 23 Oct 2013

Want to take a performance car for a ride? Hertz can make that happen. Spin by your local rental location (depending, of course, on availability) and you can take out a Dodge Challenger, Ford Mustang, Chevy Camaro, even a Corvette as part of the Adrenaline Collection. Hertz's Dream Cars lineup even includes Porsches and AMGs. But the really interesting stuff is what you can't get anywhere else: cars built specifically for Hertz.
Back in 1966, Hertz had Ford cook up a special run of Mustang GT350H models in back with gold stripes. It became an icon in and of itself, and in 2008 Hertz had a new batch of Shelby GT-Hs made. Earlier this year, Hertz contracted Penske to deliver another fleet of specially-built Mustangs you can rent. But if your travel plans include a trip to the Netherlands, Hertz has a completely different type of specially-prepared Ford on offer for you.
Back in August, Ford delivered a couple of Focus STs made specifically for Hertz in Holland. Now it's expanded that fleet even further. The Ford Focus ST-H features the same 252-horsepower 2.0-liter turbo four (and everything else) as the standard Focus ST, but gets that signature black exterior with gold stripes and a black leather interior with Recaro buckets. So in case a trip to Amsterdam doesn't hold enough thrills, now you can throw a hot hatch into the mix as well. Scope out the press release (in Dutch - isn't that weird?) below.
