1976 Ford Bronco Custom Sport Utility 2-door 5.0l on 2040-cars
El Dorado, Arkansas, United States
Up for auction is a 1976 Ford Bronco. It has a good running 302 that looks to be original. It is running off of a one gallon can under the hood just to make sure it didn't get any bad gas. The motor sounds good and runs smooth. It has the original power disc brake setup. It is complete and works, but the front brakes stay partially engaged so the front tires won't roll free. I have not investigated to find out exactly what it is, but it's most likely the master cylinder, or the calipers. It has a 3-speed manual transmission one the column. It shifts good for an original unit. Transfer case is nice and tight and it shifts very well. All the 4-wheel drive works and it's all there. With a little work, this bronco could be driving down the road. The body has rust (pictured). The worst rust is in the rockers. The front fenders were removed by the previous owner. The door strikes and posts are 90% solid but do have some rust through (see pics). The doors hang well and the door posts do not give any when the doors open and shut. The hood and tailgate are both good with minimal rust. The grill could be used with some work. The top is decent. The seams along the rear quarter panels are good. The front floor pans need to be replaced. The rear floors are mostly solid but have some rust in a few of the seams. The frame is solid throughout. This would be a great bronco to restore or use as is for a woods vehicle (once the brakes are fixed). It does come with the wiper motor and wiper motor cover (not installed). Please look at the pictures closely and ask any and all questions prior to bidding. I will answer questions ASAP!! Feel free to ask! Thanks so much for looking and good luck!
I forgot to mention that this bronco has a good working, original, 4-turn power steering setup. |

Oprah at it again, gives car away on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
Sat, 17 Aug 2013Oprah Winfrey loves giving away cars. Not only has she given Pontiac G6 sedans and Volkswagen Beetle retro-mobiles to everyone in the audience of her past show, but the other night on Jimmy Kimmel Live! she gave another car away to one lucky audience member, while yelling her now-famous line: "You get a car!"
Although the acting of Oprah and Jimmy Kimmel was obviously staged for this giveaway, the reaction from the woman in the audience was genuine shock as she found out that she had just won a new Ford Fusion Energi. Congrats!
Not to take away from what Oprah and Jimmy pulled off, but our cynical sides have to wonder if there isn't more than just a little coincidence that this giveaway took place on the same day that Ford announced a fuel economy reduction for the C-Max hybrid. You be the judge... Scroll down to watch the short clip from the episode.
Ford Fiesta RS with 250 horsepower mooted
Thu, Jan 29 2015We know Ford is unveiling a new Focus RS on February 3, and it's heavily rumored to arrive brandishing an all-wheel-drive powertrain and as much as 350 horsepower. The folks at Ford Performance have also promised they are working on at least 12 models through 2020, and that still leaves a lot of time to get additional exciting vehicles out the door. One of those could be an RS version of the Fiesta, according to Evo. An RS take on the latest Fiesta would obviously need substantial boosts in both power and handling ability to warrant the work over the current top Fiesta ST (pictured above), which is already one of our favorite cars. Evo speculates that the 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder could be tuned further, possibly up to about 250 horsepower, and the high-performance hatch might even take some inspiration from the Fiesta WRC rally car with an all-wheel drive system. An unnamed Ford spokesperson remained cagey about the chances for the pint-sized hot hatch to Evo, though. "We can't say anything at this moment, but we have promised to produce 12 performance models in the coming years. We'll leave it for you to decide whether that includes a Fiesta at this moment," the source said to the magazine. Evo doesn't expect a launch across the pond until at least 2017, if it actually happens. Of course, there's the lingering question of whether such a niche project would work in the US. In Europe, the Fiesta RS would challenge similarly diminutive speedsters like the Volkswagen Polo R and Audi S1, but true competitors of an equivalent size here would be much more scarce. In fact with 250 hp, the hotter Fiesta could provide unwelcome competition within Blue Oval showrooms for the Focus ST.

Ford Mustang was almost 'Imported from Detroit'
Wed, Oct 7 2015The Ford Mustang achieved iconic status nearly the moment the sheet came off at the 1964 World's Fair. And if Henry Ford II wasn't getting divorced around that time, the pony car might have been called the Torino and been marketed as 'Imported from Detroit,' according to Automotive News. We'll explain. During research for the new book Once in a Great City: A Detroit Story, author David Maraniss found an interesting connection between Chrysler's (now FCA US) slogan and the Ford Mustang. Before the pony car even had a name, the Blue Oval's advertising agency had the idea to market it as a "brand new import ... from Detroit," according to Automotive News. The vehicle would be sold as "inspired by Italy's great road cars, but straight from Detroit." The name Torino was suggested, as well. However, the real world interfered in making the Mustang Detroit's first import. According to the author, Henry Ford II was getting a divorce, and his future wife was Italian. It was therefore thought to be a bad idea to sell the future pony car as being from Italy. Things clearly changed by the time the Torino hit the streets years later. Related Video:
