1976 Ford Bronco Sport Loaded Uncut Original Paint Survivor Hd 4x4 on 2040-cars
Glendora, California, United States
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. Vehicle is
being sold strictly AS-IS, with no warranty expressed, written, or implied.

Ford announces free brake pad offer if customers stop by dealers
Mon, 04 Aug 2014These days, when you buy a new car, it's not unreasonable to expect a certain period of free maintenance to come along as well. Sometimes this is through the life of the warranty, in other cases a little less. But Ford Motor Company is going beyond those deals for at least one part of its cars. As of now, if you buy a set of Motorcraft brake pads for a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury model, you get free replacements for as long as you own the vehicle. The offer is good at Ford or Lincoln dealers and Quick Lane Tire & Auto Centers.
"We will replace the pads for as long as you own the vehicle," said Elizabeth Weigandt to Autoblog. She did clarify that the Motorcraft pads are generally for models from the '90s or newer. Also, to take advantage of this program, a person must return to the same dealer each time to get the free parts.
Of course, Ford isn't just handing out brake pads to anyone who walks by; there are certain stipulations. First, the components have to be worn down to less than three millimeters to be eligible, and the buyer still has to pay for the labor to install them. If the model is used as a fleet vehicle for commercial purposes like as a taxi or limousine, this offer also doesn't apply; the same thing for racecars. On the plus side, if you recently bought a set of pads from one of the participating locations, you're still in luck. The deal covers parts purchased as of July 1.
Autocar pits Formula Ford against Germany's finest
Wed, 25 Sep 2013Ford has quite the racing pedigree, but usually, its racers are relegated to the track. Not the new Formula Ford EcoBoost, though. It's a turbocharged, open-wheeled racer complete with a 200-horsepower, 1.0-liter, three-cylinder engine... and it's legal on the roads of the UK.
That's stressed in this video from Autocar, with the mag going so far as to show the car's tax disc and license plates. Being a road-legal offering, it's tempting to see just how well an open-wheeler that delivers racecar-like performance while also netting over 100 miles per gallon (assume this is on the British cycle, for obvious reasons) stacks up against modern performance cars.
Autocar lined up the Formula Ford against an Audi R8 V10, a BMW M6 Gran Coupe and a Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG in a number of situations to see which would come out on top. Take a look below for the full video.
New Ford dedicated hybrid due in 2018, will it fare better than C-Max?
Fri, Aug 22 2014Everyone likes to go after the champ. When it comes to fuel economy, that means taking on the Prius, which is something that automakers not named Toyota have been trying to do for years. Just because no one has been able to beat the Prius for fuel economy numbers isn't stopping them from trying. Hyundai was just caught with a potential Prius-fighter and now we have news that Ford is joining the party. Well, is going to join again. The last time Ford said it was going to challenge the Prius, it didn't go quite as planned. The C-Max hybrid was heavily hyped as a Prius-beater and was originally rated at 47 miles per gallon. Of course, it later needed to be recalculated to just 40 mpg and sales tanked. So, it's back to the Blue Oval drawing board, according to Automotive News, which is reporting that Ford is readying a brand new gas-electric hybrid due in 2018 as a 2019 model year vehicle. A plug-in version is in the works, too, and the car will reportedly share a platform with the upcoming next-gen Focus and Escape models. About those C-Max sales. They have not been stellar for the C-Max hybrid, which started strong but suffered when the reality of the lower fuel economy was realized. So far in 2014 (through the end of July), Ford has sold 11,685 gas-electric models and another 4,759 plug-in Energi versions. The trend for the standard C-Max is downward (from 20,125 during the same time frame in 2013) and upward for the plug-in version (2,915 in the first seven months of 2013).
