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 barely edges surging Chrysler for Canadian sales crown in best year ever

Thu, Jan 8 2015

The auto industry in the US showed strong results through much of 2014 with sales regularly growing year-over-year for many brands. That same trend carried over in the Great White North, as well. Canada posted its best numbers ever with 1.85 million units sold, up about 100,000 vehicles over 2013. The country nearly had a new market leader, too. The big winner among our neighbors to the north in 2014 was Ford with 291,951 vehicles sold, up 3 percent from 2013, according to Reuters. That success also handed the company the sales crown for the fifth consecutive year. In large part, the strong result came from the company's popular trucks, which represented about 80 percent of overall sales. "Ford moved into the number one position in September and didn't look back," said a note to clients by DesRosiers Automotive Consultants quoted by Reuters. However, the Blue Oval didn't exactly take an overwhelming lead for the year. The company nearly had to hand over the sales trophy to FCA after the company rallied in the latter part of the year. The Italian-American conglomerate had its best results ever to nip at the Ford's heels and move 290,004 units for 2014, a 12-percent improvement from last year. Jeep especially helped the bottom line with over 50-percent growth, according to Reuters. Only two other brands were able to break the 200,000-vehicle barrier in Canada for 2014. General Motors came in third place overall with 249,800 sales, up 6.3 percent. The combined Toyota and Lexus also barely jumped the hurdle with 200,851 units moved, a 2.8 percent improvement.

Ford's Explorer-based Police Interceptor to get 365-hp EcoBoost option

Tue, 20 Aug 2013

Speeders beware, the police are going to be getting quite a bit faster. Ford has just announced that it will be offering its 3.5-liter, twin-turbocharged, EcoBoost V6 in the Explorer Police Interceptor. The new engine will be joining the existing 3.7-liter V6. The 365-horsepower, 350-pound-foot mill should be familiar to consumers as the powerplant that's found in the Ford Taurus SHO (and its LEO equivalent, the Taurus Police Interceptor) and the Ford Explorer Sport. It should also provide quite a kick in the pants to officers used to the naturally aspirated 3.7 and its 304 ponies and 279 pound-feet of torque.
The move to the more potent powerplant was born out of all the equipment officers need to carry on a day-to-day basis. These days, there's so much stuff that police need on a regular basis, that there's a genuine market for a faster Police Interceptor Utility, as it's known officially. The Explorer-based cruiser has already accounted for 68 percent of Ford's LEO sales in 2013, and that's with just the 3.7, and we'd only expect that number to increase once the twin-turbo, 3.5-liter V6 is available. Ford won't offer up any indication of what the take rate will be on the new engine, but we're guessing it'll be fairly high.
The success of the Explorer PI couldn't have come at a better time for Ford. The decision to end Crown Victoria production was not a popular one with police, and combined with Chevrolet and Dodge diving into the LEO market feet first, Ford hasn't been performing as well as it's wanted to. The Explorer has been helping it turn around, though. And with the inclusion of the EcoBoost, Ford also has a legit competitor for the Chevrolet Tahoe on the big utility side of the police market.

Man turns Ford Fiesta into a one-car band

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

The one-man band is a rather ridiculous idea, drawing up images of one person attempting to manipulate several instruments, at once, in a vain attempt at creating music. It's usually represented by silly scenes like this. Interestingly, the concept isn't much more successful when the "man" in "one-man band" is replaced with "car," as we see in this video.
It seems that someone rigged up and edited (699 times, we might add) a Ford Fiesta, a bucket, 12 PVC pipes and the natural sounds that a car makes to come up with a song. Now, we don't recognize the tune, so we've no idea if this is a cover or an original piece. And while it's hardly Beethoven, we have to admire the amount of effort the "conductor" went to in his attempt to turn a subcompact car into a musical instrument(s). Take a look (or listen) below for the entire video.
