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

1969 Ford GT40 Mk III found roaming the halls in Geneva

Wed, Mar 4 2015

The halls of the 2015 Geneva Motor Show are filled with all manner of exotic racing machinery, from the likes Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus to McLaren. But there's one peculiar bit of history tucked away that we thought you'd be equally interested to see: a 1969 Ford GT40 Mk III. One of only seven known to be built, this Mk III coupe was intended as a road-going alternative to earlier racing-bred GT40 models, like the original Mk I and 427-cubic-inch, Le Mans-dominating Mk II. Due to its street-legal intentions, the Ford GT40 Mk III boasted revised bodywork that allowed for some luggage and new headlights, along with a redesigned interior with left-hand-drive and a shifter in the normal, center position. The Mk III wasn't very popular when it was new in the 1960s, in part because it looked different from other GT40 models and because it was pretty expensive, but that just means it's an awfully rare gem today. Take a look at the piece of history in our high-res image gallery above.

Ford recalls 125,000 Maverick, Escape, Corsair hybrids over fire risk

Tue, Jun 6 2023

Ford is recalling more than 125,000 Maverick, Escape and Lincoln Corsair hybrids produced for the 2020-2023 model years to address a fire risk associated with failure of their internal combustion engines, which Ford says is happening with undue frequency. In the event of an engine block breach, oil and fuel vapors may collect under hood in places that would make them prone to ignition, meaning that an engine failure can do more than leave owners stranded. "Isolated engine manufacturing issues have resulted in 2.5L HEV/PHEV engine failures involving engine block or oil pan breach," Ford said in its defect report to NHTSA. "In the event of an engine block or oil pan breach, the HEV/PHEV system continues to propel the vehicle allowing the customer to continue to drive the vehicle. As the customer continues to drive after a block breach, oil and/or fuel vapor continues to be expelled and accumulates near ignition sources, primarily expected to be the exhaust system." Per Ford, the "manufacturing issues" include poor machining of the engine crankshaft and contamination of engine block mating surfaces during assembly. The issue has been fixed in production, but 2.5-liter engines that escaped the factory with defects could be ticking time bombs. Ford's solution is to re-work the underhood components that allow combustible liquids and vapors near ignition sources. This way, the cars are better protected against immolation regardless of the circumstances. Signs of failure will be obvious, Ford says. Loud clanging or booming noises, a loss of power and smoke are all immediate signs that the customer should exit the roadway as safely and quickly as possible and shut the car down. Owners should expect to receive notifications by the end of June or early July. They should begin circulating by mid-month. All remediation will be handled for the customer free of charge by their Ford dealerships. Related video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

J Mays on the 2015 Ford Mustang

Thu, 05 Dec 2013

J Mays, head of design at Ford, may be retiring from the company after 16 years, but not before showing the world his swan song: the 2015 Mustang. Ford officially revealed its new coupe and convertible to the public at events around the world on Thursday, including a live unveiling on ABC's Good Morning America, and Mays was in attendance at the automaker's home event in Dearborn, MI, which is where we caught up with him for a few words about his new baby.
"It's a joy" to design the Mustang, Mays told Autoblog, adding that this sixth-generation coupe is his "favorite design so far." Of course, the 2015 model takes cues from all of the generations that came before it, but Mays said it was important to edit down the specific elements from previous models, leaving just enough off to let the customer "participate and fill in the blanks."
"If it doesn't sell itself, you probably aren't a Mustang fan."
