1975 Ford Bronco "ranger Package" Automatic on 2040-cars
Boise, Idaho, United States
Up for auction is my father and I's 1975 Ford Bronco equipped with the "Ranger" package. This Bronco is in exceptional shape. It runs and drives very very well. I have owned and been associated with quite a few Bronco's in my day and I have to say that this Bronco by far drives the best of all of them. It is truly a turn key vehicle. It drives like a luxury car. Very smooth and responsive. I would take this on a long distance trip without hesitation. I will describe the vehicle to the best of my ability. This Bronco was bought and sold in Boise Idaho. It has been here it's whole life. It has had 2 owners. It has had 1 paint job in the mid eighties. painted the same color as original. The truck has never been wrecked and outside of some surface rust on the body, the truck is free of rust. This means that the rockers, floors, tunnel, wheel wells,"A" pillars, etc are all free of rust. The rust is limited to pitting in a few of the seems of the outside of the body. Those of you who know theses broncos know that this is somewhat rare to see. These things are known for being rust buckets. So when you find one free of rust and an automatic with all the goodies, you know you have found a good one. The interior is all original with the exception of high back buckets that were put in some 15 years ago. All of the seats were covered the same and they match very well. The truck continues to have its original drive train. Everything works very well. The motor runs great with no smoking or signs of wear. The c4 automatic trans shifts and drives the truck great. Power brakes work very well and the power steering turns the truck nicely. This truck is Very easy to drive. All of the suspension is original to the truck and drives straight down the road. The tires are 5 years old on this truck. They have another 5 years left in them and they are worn very evenly on all four corners, which speaks of how well aligned the truck is. The truck is equipped with a Dana 44 front end and the 4wd work well in the truck. The underneath of the truck has the normal road dirt on it but nothing out of the ordinary. The truck has dual exhaust that sounds great when driving down the road. The truck additionally has electric wipers and is equipped with an intermittent wiper module that makes the wipers easier to use of course. The broncos gauges and various dials etc work very well. The heater gets the truck very warm inside and adjusts well to lower temps as you need it. Defrost works well to. The bronco is equipped with a center console that is very functional and useful to the driver. Inside the glove compartment is the original ID tag that has all of the truck "as built" info to it. The truck remains original to the build plate of the truck. I provided a picture of the tag and will decode if you need info. All interior lighting works well to. Overall the interior is in very nice shape with no visible rips or tears to the carpet or upholstery. For being mostly original it is nice. The top even has a descent headliner in it. Helps keep the noise down. The truck is also equipped with a CD player and some nice descent speakers in the front and back. The stereo also will play MP3. As mentioned before the truck has had one paint job on it in the mid eighties. It was painted the same color as original. The color is ford Tangerine. The paint is quite nice for being 20 plus years old. All of the ranger trim on the body is quite nice, very good driver quality. The rear fender flares were done with the last paint job. The idea was to put bigger tires on the truck as most everyone does. The truck also has the dealer optioned roof rack which ads some class to this Bronco in my opinion. All of the panels for the most part are nice and straight with the little bit of panel waver here and there. Overall a very straight truck as you can see in the pictures. An interesting bit of info about the truck. It has been said that the top has only been off of the truck 3 times in its life. twice by the original owner and once buy the current. The top has not been off of the truck since 1993 best we can guess. The top area of the body is nice and has preserved very well where the top and body meet. When you drive the truck you can tell that the top is mounted quite securely. Overall the body is very nice. All of the weather stripping is in nice shape and the doors open and close very nicely. No road noise when you drive down the road with the exception of the back glass if you don't shut the lift gate completely securely. Again, very comfortable to drive. Overall, this 75 Bronco well optioned with the "Ranger" package is a very nice functional truck. Given the condition of the truck with its 302 and automatic transmission add to that power brakes and power steering, I don't think someone could go wrong. This truck still has many years of life left in her and we would love it to go to a good home with an owner that appreciates the rare original condition of this truck. I would say that this is a great truck to restore but it is really very very nice the way that it is. Up to the new owner to decide that, but rest assured the truck is a great one at this point as well. Please bid with confidence at the quality of vehicle you will get for your money. Now for the stipulation stuff. Please bid if you plan on following thru with your commitment. This truck will be listed in other areas so I do reserve the right to sell elsewhere and end the auction early. Please feel free to ask all the questions that you need to and I will get you anything I can to keep you at ease with your bid. Happy Bidding!!!! |

American automakers fall in latest Fortune 500 rankings
Fri, 10 May 2013Not that it means anything beyond bragging rights, but if you're fixated on the positions of domestic automakers on the annual Fortune 500 list, both General Motors and Ford are still on it but they've slipped a couple of notches. The list ranks American companies and they're ordered solely by revenue. GM, fifth last year, came in seventh, while Ford fell from ninth to tenth even though both companies saw small gains in annual revenue.
GM's $152.3 billion in revenue was less than a third of that of the first company on the list: Wal-Mart, which regained the title from Exxon Mobil. Berkshire Hathaway and Apple are the firms that moved GM down. Ford, displaced by energy company Valero, had $134.3 billion in revenue.
On a side note, profitability isn't a factor, but both GM and Ford were down in this year's list compared to last year's: GM declined from $9.2 billion to $6.2 billion, Ford fell from $20.2 billion to $5.6 billion. If profits were included, Exxon Mobil would probably still be king: although the energy company made almost $20 billion less in revenue than Wal-Mart's $469.2 billion, it posted $44.9 billion in profit compared to Wal-Mart's $17 billion.
Recharge Wrap-up: Ford steals Best Green Brand spot from Toyota, EV buyer survey goes online
Wed, Jun 25 2014Chevrolet is one of the Top Global Green Brands of 2014, according to brand consultancy firm Interbrand. Chevy ranks number 32 on the list, which cover brands across a wide variety of segments. The report measures brand perception and brand performance, and the gap between the two is small for Chevrolet. "The company is not only actively demonstrating its environmental commitment," says Interbrand CEO Jez Frampton. "It's communicating those efforts in an authentic way that resonates with customers." Chevrolet cites its Spark EV, Volt and Cruze models as reason for its green cred. This is the first time Toyota didn't take the top spot. Being 32nd is good and all, but other automotive brands ranked much higher than the Bowtie. Ford, Toyota, Honda and Nissan took the top four spots in the report, respectively, with BMW, Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz all besting Chevrolet. The big takeaway here is that Ford topped the list. In the Top Global Green Brand list's four-year history, this is the first time Toyota didn't take the top spot. Ford was second on the list last year, and 15th in 2012. "Ford embodies everything the business of the future must be: efficient, visionary, flexible, adept at problem-solving, cooperative, and focused on creating shared value," Interbrand says on its website. "From unveiling a first-of-its-kind solar-powered vehicle, the C-MAX Solar Energi Concept, to partnering with peers across sectors to do the seemingly impossible - like creating bio-plastic out of tomato fiber with Heinz-Ford is showing us what's possible." It bears mentioning that Ford's most recent MPG adjustments came after the study was conducted. Ford is also making the news for its 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine earning International Engine of the Year for the third straight year. Awarded Best Engine Under 1.0 Liter, the turbocharged three-cylinder motor earned high praise from judges. "This year's competition was the fiercest yet, but the 1.0-liter EcoBoost continues to stand out for all the right reasons – great refinement, surprising flexibility and excellent efficiency," said International Engine of the Year co-chairman Dean Slavnich. "The 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine is one of the finest examples of powertrain engineering." The 123-horsepower engine powers the Fiesta 1.0-liter EcoBoost, and will be available in a version of the Ford Focus in the US later this year. See more about the award in the press release, below.
