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. |

Ward's Automotive Ten Best Engines of 2014 dominated by diesels, turbos
Thu, 12 Dec 2013With the Car and Driver Ten Best decided, the North American Car and Truck of the Year finalists announced and Cadillac, Ram and Subaru chalking up wins with Motor Trend, it's fair to say that the automotive awards season is in full swing. The next set of trophies to be handed out will be from Ward's Automotive, which has announced the winners of its 2014 10 Best Engines.
The latest contest was marked by the widespread emergence of diesel power and the continued success of turbocharged engines. There was even an electric motor on this year's list. In fact, only three of the ten winners were naturally aspirated and only two winners returned from last year.
"We weren't looking to throw the bums out, as they might say about an election. We were just really impressed with the flood of new powertrains," said Ward's Automotive Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter. Those new powertrains include the 83-kilowatt electric motor from the Fiat 500e, the 1.0-liter, EcoBoost three-cylinder from the Ford Fiesta and the 2.0-liter turbodiesel from the Chevrolet Cruze.
Ford opens 88 new dealerships in China in a single day
Mon, 23 Jun 2014"Ford opened 88 dealerships in China last year." "Ford opened 88 dealerships in China during the first half of 2014." "Ford opened 88 dealerships in China last month." None of those statements - even the last one - would seem unbelievable. Saying "Ford opened up 88 dealerships in China last Thursday," though, is a bit more dramatic.
Yes, on June 19 alone, Ford opened the doors on nearly 100 showrooms in the People's Republic, boosting the Blue Oval's total presence in the country to 750 dealerships. Of course, while an overabundance of dealers in the US proved troublesome for American manufacturers back in 2008 and 2009, there's no such concern in China. Considering the country's huge population and the breakneck pace of the local auto industry, you could be forgiven for being surprised Ford only has 750 outlets at this stage.
What's notable about this most recent push, besides the sheer volume of new stores, is their location. Over three-quarters of the new dealerships are in so-called Tier 4 cities, which are smaller towns that still contain millions of people. This fits with Ford's strategy in China of avoiding the bigger battlegrounds that are already dominated by competitors and focusing on setting up shop in newer markets that may have been overlooked, according to Automotive News.
Ford making Fusion production moves to challenge Camry on volume
Mon, 26 Aug 2013The Ford Fusion may already beat the Toyota Camry in terms of models offered, transaction price and sales increase so far this year, but if the Fusion wants to make a run at the title of best-selling car in the US, Bloomberg reminds us that volume is key. Opening a second production line at the Flat Rock, MI assembly plant will reportedly allow Ford to produce around 350,000 Fusions annually, which compares Toyota's ability to crank out 475,000 Camrys and Honda's capacity to build around 450,000 Accords.
For the Fusion, that's an extra 100,000 units compared to the car's current pace, and the article adds that the Fusion is "Ford's best shot" to regain the passenger car sales crown - a title it (or any other US automaker, for that matter) hasn't held since the mid-1990s. Despite hiccups with recalls and fuel economy numbers, the Ford Fusion is still red hot when it comes to sales. Fusion sales are up 13 percent so far this year (compared to a 0.6 percent decrease for Camry), and its average transaction price of $26,343 is about $2,300 more than its rival from Toyota.
The Fusion's popularity has helped Ford improve its sales in California; the Dearborn-based automaker has a market share of 18 percent in the state, which is just a fraction of a percentage behind Honda. And this popularity should continue as Ford ups Fusion production and expands the model lineup even further for 2014 with a new 1.5-liter EcoBoost engine soon to become an option.
