Very rarely these days do you come across an all original uncut, solid bodied, original paint Ford Bronco Sport. Today you have done just that.

This 1976 Ford Bronco Sport is loaded with power options, & is still wearing it original coat of (best color) Tangerine paint. Power options include factory power disk brakes, power steering, C4 automatic transmission, HD 4X4 suspension package with 9 inch limited slip posi rear end 3.50:1 ratio, heavy duty Dana 44 front axle, & Dana 20 transfer case. Vehicle also comes with rare factory divider panel (not pictured), which separates front seat area from truck bed.

Anybody considering buying an early Bronco should pay close attention to factory power options, as they will save you thousands of dollars in upgrades. I also own a 1974 Bronco (shown in background pic) which came 3 speed manual, & manual drum brakes. I spent nearly $4,000 converting it to correct auto trans & power disk brakes! The Bronco I am selling today came FACTORY with these options. The second important thing to consider is the rust factor. Early Broncos are notorious for rusting out, this one is super solid!

This Bronco went straight to California when it was built, & has spent it’s entire life in the hot, dry Central Valley. This truck has definitely been used, but not abused. Mileage reads 58,209 which has rolled over 1 time, so I believe actual mileage is 158,209 (undocumented). Prior owner is believed to be original, as title shows ownership since 1983, just after loan payoff. Engine was said to be rebuilt at 102,000, which means engine has 56,000 miles since rebuild (also undocumented).

Since the Tangerine paint is original, there are no worries about hidden rust or accident damage. All the minor bumps & bruises on this vehicle have nothing to hide. It appears that the top of the roof was repainted 1 time, likely due to the hot valley sun baking the paint.

Mechanically the vehicle is operational. The engine starts & runs smooth with plenty of V8 power. The transmission & transfer case shift into all gears in 2WD & 4WD. The auto trans should be serviced soon with new fluid & filter to ensure a long life. A complete inspection of the brake system should  also be performed prior to daily use since vehicle sat a few years prior to my ownership. Brakes work fine now but a full inspection is highly recommended. I removed the main fuel tank and had it cleaned, rebuilt the factory carb, & replaced the fuel pump for smooth operation. Reserve fuel tank has been bypassed as it still needs cleaned prior to operation.

This vehicle is equipped with California emissions & should pass a CA smog check since all the smog equipment & catalytic converter are in tact. An aftermarket A/C system was added to vehicle but I removed the faulty ‘hangdown’ unit. All the under hood components for the A/C are still in place.

 

Finally, the interior still has original seats & steering wheel. Dash pad has a cover lay cap, & front floor has a new vinyl mat. Originally, vehicle had a beige colored rubber mat set with Bronco logo in poor condition. I did save the mat in case someone wants to duplicate it. Upon replacing mat it was discovered that floors are very solid with only a few minor spots at front that required a small repair.

Overall, this is an extremely hard to find, unrestored, hard loaded Bronco with the best color available in 1976. Please read the ad carefully before bidding.

This is what a 3D-printed liquid metal Ford Torino looks like

Sat, 12 Oct 2013

Artist Ioan Florea has encapsulated a 1971 Ford Torino with 3-D-printed liquid metal transferred onto the car using technology that he developed, and the result is a stunningly shiny, seamless design.
"The surface has the highest coefficient of reflectivity never achieved before," Florea told us in an e-mail, using "nano-materials and nano-pigments that create an internal three-dimensional structure and dictate the polymer how to behave." Sure... We'll leave it to him to make any more 3-D-printed liquid metal-transferred art pieces.
Florea grew up in Romania, and the motivation behind picking the old Ford as his canvas came from his childhood memories of what an American car is - "big and wide and fascinating," he says - and the European name of the car itself, which it shares with an Italian city.

Autoblog Technology of the Year Award Special | Autoblog Podcast #758

Thu, Dec 1 2022

This episode of the Autoblog Podcast features Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore, Road Test Editor Zac Palmer and Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski. The trio begin by discussing the 2022 Technology of the Year award. Ford's Onboard Scales and Smart Hitch hauling/towing tech as tested in the F-150 Lightning won this year. Why the Ford won, how testing went down and Ford's competition — including the GMC Hummer EV and Genesis GV60 — are discussed. After diving through the Technology of the Year award testing, the three take on this week's news. A mysterious vehicle based on the Corvette (that isn't a Corvette) is supposedly on its way. Audi is giving us "Performance" versions of the RS 6 Avant and RS 7 Sportback. Plus, we discuss a recent study that provides data for the 10 longest lasting vehicles on the road today. After the news, the crew dive into the cars they've been driving this week. Greg's been behind the wheel of a Nissan Pathfinder, while Jeremy and Zac have been driving some plug-in hybrids, including the Lexus NX 450h+ and Autoblog's long-term BMW 330e xDrive.

Autoblog Minute: Ford Ranger, UK Mustang, Hyundai Hybrid

Fri, Aug 28 2015

Ford may bring the Ranger back to the US, the UK goes nuts over the Mustang, and the battle of hybrids heats up with spy shots of the Toyota Prius and a new Hyundai. Autoblog's senior editor Greg Migliore reports on the weekly recap edition of Autoblog Minute. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Ford may bring the Ranger back to the US, the UK goes nuts over Mustang, and the battle of hybrids heats up with spy shots of Prius and a new Hyundai. I'm Autoblog senior editor Greg Migliore and this is your Autoblog Minute weekly recap. 2011 was the last time we saw Ford's midsize pickup in the US but according to a report from the Detroit News we could see production of the Ranger at the [00:00:30] Dearborn automaker's Michigan Assembly Plant as early as 2018. Ranger could compete with the Chevy Colorado and perhaps revive the compact and midsize pickup market for Ford, but the future of Ranger in the US depends a lot on Ford's ongoing negotiations with the UAW. About 2,000 orders for the 2015 Mustang were placed in the UK, tying up production of the pony car until July 2016. According to details in a press release from Ford UK, [00:01:00] it looks like Brits are a lot like their American cousins, opting for the 5.0 liter V8, with Race Red as the popular color of choice. Photos of the 2016 Toyota Prius leaked generating a lot of buzz over the styling. This fourth generation Prius will have some new competition as spy shots of a new Hyundai also surfaced this week. The car is said to be a hybrid and a bonafide "Prius fighter." Those are the highlights from the week that was. Be sure to check out my full recap this Saturday, [00:01:30] including the latest in FCA rumors for 2016. For Autoblog, I'm Greg Migliore.
