      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

American automakers fall in latest Fortune 500 rankings

Fri, 10 May 2013

Not 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.

Ford to build next F-150, outgoing model concurrently?

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

Ford is rumored to be considering concurrent production for old and new F-150 models in a bid to minimize supply chain disruptions and inventory. Automotive News is reporting that the Blue Oval will build both the current F-150 and its replacement, which we showed you testing just last month, side by side for about half a year before switching over entirely to next-generation production.
As IHS Automotive analyst Mike Jackson told AN, "In order to ramp up, you have to retool...and that means you have to take capacity offline." Building both models alongside could allow Ford to cope with the still strong demand for the current F-150, while populating dealer supplies and working out supply chain kinks for the new model before making a full-time switch.
A loss of capacity when demand is so strong, even for a short period, could spell bad news for Ford, which nets an estimated 90 percent of its global profit on pickups and large SUVs. As AN states, Ford produces the F-150 in both Kansas City, Missouri and Dearborn, Michigan, which allows it to maintain some degree of flexibility in production. The new F-150 is expected to arrive at the 2014 North American International Auto Show as a 2015 model, with a design inspired by the Atlas Concept first shown at the Detroit Auto Show last January.
