      I am selling my Frame OFF 1976 Ford Bronco and my reserve is less then half its value.  After a full blown 100% frame off restoration,  I bought this Bronco in 2009 with 1000 miles on it.  I have a clear Indiana title to this truck in my name.  I have had this Bronco 5 years and it now has 2900 miles on it.  I only drive it in nice weather.  The previous owner did a 100% nut and bolt frame off restoration on this Bronco and spared no expense.   It took him 2 years to restore this Bronco and he PAID out $46,000 in parts.   I have in my possession every receipt ever spent on this machine.   The receipts are 2 inches thick and I totaled them up and they equal $46,000.  This is just the PAID receipts.  This $46k does not include the 1000's of hours of labor spent on this machine.   I have the restorers name, phone number, and address.  This information will be turned over to the buyer in order to contact him.  Doug, the restorer, meticulously documented the restoration every step of the way through many, many photographs.  Ebay only allows 24 pictures, but if you want more, I have 200 pictures that Doug took during the restoration.
     I also have pictures from when Doug bought this truck from Texas and it was rust free.   Doug starting buying parts from Wild Horses, Tom's bronco, and BC Bronco which are 3 the big suppliers.  We are talking $46,000 in spent receipts.  Everything on this bronco was disassembled down to the bare frame and every single part is either new or refurbished.  From memory I will try to describe what the Doug did.

1.   New Crate 351 motor with new Edelbrock carburetor
2.   New Air Conditioning.
3.   New Stainless Steel Wind shield frame which allows for the wipers to be below. (Bronco wipers are on top)
4.   New 5 Speed Tranny
5.   New Dual Gas Tanks which are controlled by switch
6.   New WARN Differentials which are controlled independently.  In other words, the truck can be front wheel
      drive, rear wheel drive, or 4 wheel drive.  All 3 options can be independently in High or Low gear.
7.   New front Brush Guard
8.   New remote wireless Winch
9.   New Fog Lights
10. New rear Guard and Spare tire holder and Gas can holder
11. New tires and 5 New rims
12. New Full Roll Cage (Not Installed but goes with the truck)
13. New Radiator Alternator, Battery, Fuel Pump, Oil Pump, etc....
14. New shocks
15. New Lift Kit for a tasteful 3" lift
16. New Exhaust system which rumbles with Flowmaster Mufflers
17. New Wheel Well Fender flares
18.
 Totally refurbished removable top in perfect condition with dark tinted windows
19. Dark tinted windows all around
20. New steering wheel and the truck turns on a dime.  Very tight radius
21. New hydraulic brakes, lines, and rotors which stop on a dime 
     New EVERYTHING!!  New carpet, primer/paint, wiring through out, gauges, radio/CD/flash drive, steering shaft, head liner, sound proofing insulation, belts, battery, every part under the hood is new, every seal, clip,and part on the truck is new except the body, glass, frame, and seats.

     The guy I bought it from, Doug, ran out of money and therefore told me that he did not do 3 things to this vehicle.
1. He did not recover the seats.  There are no rips or tears and Not needed in my opinion!!
2. He did not fix a very little chip in the windshield.  If I did not tell you this, you would not see it.  Not needed!!
3. Finally, since the new windshield frame is stainless steel, the paint had a hard time sticking to it in one area.  There is a small area on the
    windshield frame that looks OK, but if you want it perfect, it would require a repaint.  It does not look bad however.  I am nitpicking.  

       I suggest that if you are interested in this Bronco to call me and request the 200 pictures.  Some people do not like bidding on Ebay and want to speak to the owner
personally.  I encourage that!!!   You should know WHO you are buying this from.   I have 100% feedback and nothing to hide so here is my phone.  317 201-7777.  I know it sounds ridiculous how much money and time Doug put into this restoration.  To the tune of $70,000.  I am letting it go for less half  that.

Thanks and Good Luck

Ford doubling 1.0L EcoBoost engine production

Fri, 06 Sep 2013

Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder engine hasn't been around that long, but it sounds like the engine is getting to be fairly popular in the automaker's global car lineup. The Detroit News is reporting that Ford has add a second shift that will allow its German engine plant to double daily output from 500 engines to 1,000.
The increased capacity is part of a plan to sell more than 300,000 vehicles a year with this engine in Europe by 2015. Europe is currently the only market where the smallest of the EcoBoost engines is offered (including in the Focus pictured above), but US-spec Fiesta models will be getting this mill for 2014.
Three-cylinder engines are expected to continue to grow in popularity in coming years with the report indicating that global production of these engines will double by 2018 to 9.8 million units. General Motors, BMW and Mitsubishi are all expected to introduce three-cylinder engines in the near term, as well.

Ford honors Chinese Year of the Horse with Vaughn Gittin Jr., Mustang video

Fri, Feb 27 2015

Calendar years and fiscal years tend to be the only timetables automakers concern themselves with, but that doesn't mean there isn't recognition of other measures of time. Ford has opted to observe the Chinese zodiac, largely because the Year of the Horse ended just last week. That's fortuitous timing, considering the first Ford Mustangs were making their way towards the People's Republic as celebrations were carrying on. To recognize this fact, and the end of the Year of the Horse, Ford recruited drift king Vaughn Gittin, Jr., to take a 2015 Mustang GT to the streets of Ordos City, in north-central China. It's not as dramatic as some of Ford's recent videos, like the one starring Ken Block and the Ford Focus RS, but it's pretty cool all the same. Take a look.

Need for Speed movie casts Mustang in hero car role

Mon, 10 Jun 2013

Dreamworks Studios, Electronic Arts and Ford Motor Company announced today that the Ford Mustang will play the lead hero car role in the upcoming Need for Speed movie, slated to hit theaters next February. Of course, the Mustang didn't audition for the role like we imagine the film's star, Aaron Paul of Breaking Bad fame, might have. Rather, Ford and Dreamworks struck a partnership deal that meant the Mustang could skip the casting couch. The deal will also see the film's universe populated with other Ford products (gratuitously so, we're guessing), and the automaker will also help the studio promote the video-game-turned-movie next year.
The hero car in question is a special one-off Mustang created by Ford that is making its debut at the E3 video game trade show as we speak. Powered by a supercharged V8 and apparently based on the Shelby GT500, the car's been modified with a widebody kit, 22-inch wheels, larger air intakes and twin hood nostrils. Ford also provided the film's production with an F-450 truck that will be called "The Beast" in the film's story, and a second Mustang to be used during filming as a camera car.
The Mustang's movie career is really taking off, with news of its Need For Speed casting closely following last week's release of the trailer for Getaway, a movie coming out in August that stars Ethan Hawke, Selena Gomez and another Shelby GT500. In addition to Aaron Paul and a modified Mustang, the Need For Speed movie also stars Michael Keaton (cop, we're guessing) and Dominic Cooper (villain, we're guessing), and is directed by Scott Waugh, who directed the Navy SEAL film Act of Valor in 2012.
