1977 Ford Bronco 1 Owner, Original Paint, 44k Miles, on 2040-cars

Year:1977 Mileage:44000
Location:

Nashville, Tennessee, United States

Nashville, Tennessee, United States

Available is a special Bronco. I found her at this years Bronco Super Celebration in Townsend TN. The owner was an old timer from Marion NC. He drove it to the show and back home, a total of 300 miles that sunny Saturday. The bronco was bought new from his friend in 1977 ( I have the original receipt when it was bought). His friend recently passed and he bought the Bronco from the estate, and sold it to me in May. He delivered it to my sister in Knoxville, and my Dad who is 75 drove it from Knoxville to Nashville (175 miles) a few weeks ago. She's reliable daily driver, as is or restore to show quality status. Fly in and drive her home of have her transported.

She's in very good overall original condition. It The paint is original and has plenty of patina. I had it buffed and it removed most of the oxidation. The top has never been off. The doors are the tightest closing doors I've seen. The inner and outer strikers and posts are perfect, with NO door sag. All sheet metal is original and there is no bondo anywhere.

The belly is super clean as seen in the pictures. She's almost completely rust free. There's a couple minor spots in the front floor seams and on the right rear seam by the wheel well, and the right rear quarter seam, that's about it. The rockers, tailgate, kick panels, windshield frame, front hood lip, inner fenders are all rust free. The front seats have been recovered at some point, the rear seat is original. It has the factory front and rear Black mats. It still has the original AM radio too!

The original 302 purrs, doesn't smoke and even appears to have it's original muffler and catalytic converter. The previous owner said the Bronco sat for a couple of years before he bought it and his mechanic told him it has sticky lifter ticking. It has been driven about 500 miles, and drives excellent. The transmission shifts fine, it has the 4 turn close ratio power steering only available in 76 and 77. 4WD works fine. It has 5 new AT tires, new master cylinder. All the lights work, even the dash light bars, shift indicator, side markers, and license plate light. It also has the optional remote drivers side view mirror. It's rare to find a '77 with only 44K miles, uncut with original paint, but here it is!

Ask questions before you bid. Sold as is with no warranty. Sold with clear title. I refuse the right to end the auction early If I decide to list it locally for sale. All questions will be answered. A $500.00 non refundable deposit is due at auctions end. I have a transport company I can refer. Their rate is typically .75/mile. THANKS

2015 Gordon McCall's Motorworks Revival

Thu, Aug 13 2015

Considered the big kick off of the major festivities surrounding Monterey Car Week, this year's Gordon McCall's Motorworks Revival certainly didn't disappoint. For those unable to make it to the California coast, our own Drew Phillips was on hand to snap some of the beautiful vehicles on display for this gorgeous gallery. Held annually at the Monterey Jet Center, the event is always a feast for the eyes by collecting planes, a gang of exotic supercars, and some the top cars crossing the auction block over the coming days, like a Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda convertible. The Ford GT both new and old was a major attendee at this year's party. Among them, the Petersen Museum brought along an original racecar and a GT40 MKIII to promote an upcoming exhibit. The classics were complimented by the latest version that has continued to keep tongues wagging. The GT wasn't the only classic with a modern update there. Singer used the posh event for the North American debut of its stunning restoration of the Porsche 911 Targa. Shelby American was also at the revival for the public unveiling of the 50th Anniversary Daytona Coupe. On the more modern front, Honda was in attendance with the future NSX and one of the McLaren F1 cars that the company's engine powers. For further proof of the ritzy folks that attend this soiree, Pagani and Koenigsegg both had stands to show off their extremely quick wares.

Ford offering factory-spec EcoBoost reflashes that don't void warranty*

Sat, Dec 27 2014

Buy a supercharger or cold-air kit from Ford Racing and a Performance Calibration handset comes with it to reset the ECU for the upgrade. Now Ford Racing is offering the ProCal handset a la carte for $595, allowing you to reflash the ECU on your EcoBoost-equipped ride to extract more of its inherent capabilities without any additional upgrades. It gives you control of variables such as throttle response, idle speed and turbo wastegate control, among others. As for that warranty asterisk, the press release says enthusiasts can up the power "while maintaining the Ford-backed limited warranty." However Ford Motor Co. and Ford Racing are separate entities, and, best we can tell, when you reflash the ECU, your Ford warranty gets supplanted by the Ford Racing warranty. Say you bought a 2014 Ford, that means your five-year, 60,000-mile warranty becomes Ford Racing's three-year, 36,000-mile warranty, if we're reading the fine print correctly. If you have an older car and have driven more than 36,000 miles, then your warranty options are kaput, at least as far as a Ford in-house option. If have warranty concerns, you might also want to consider having a dealer perform the reflash, or at least ask about it. Once you've got past the small print, what about the numbers? At the moment Ford Racing offers tunes for the 2.0-liter EcoBoost in the Focus ST and the 1.6-liter EcoBoost in the Fiesta ST, and we're told there's a 90-pound-foot boost in torque at the crank after you've pressed the right buttons. Anecdotal evidence from a commenter at Road & Track says he went from 252 horsepower at the flywheel to 254 hp at the wheels, and 272 lb-ft at the flywheel to 354 lb-ft at the wheels, but we can't be sure that his adjustments were within Ford Racing specs. Your mileage, naturally, may vary. What about custom numbers for the 2.3-liter EcoBoost in the 2015 Ford Mustang? They aren't ready yet, but we're told we'll get something by the end of next year.

Ford Mondeo classes up with premium Vignale trim

Wed, 11 Sep 2013

Back in the day, Vignale was a carrozzeria of the highest order, alongside the likes of Pininfarina, Bertone and Zagato. But like Giugiaro-ItalDesign and Ghia, it has since been subsumed into a larger auto group. Ford ended up with it under its umbrella when it took over De Tomaso, and has since used the moniker for a number of concept cars. Now the name is back in the form of a new upscale sub-brand for the European market.
The first new model to receive the Vignale treatment is the Mondeo, which Ford unveiled here at the Frankfurt Motor Show in both sedan and wagon forms. Positioned above the Titanium trim, the Vignale model gets such special touches as chrome trim and a quilted leather interior, Vignale badges replacing any mention of the Mondeo on which it's based. It also gains an ownership experience - including free car washes for life! - to befit the upscale positioning.
Under the bright spotlights above the show floor, the Nocciola metallic brown paint might not be the most photogenic, but will likely give the Vignale edition a more premium look when it hits European dealers and roads in 2015. Whether it'll be worth however much Ford asks for it, however, remains to be seen. Scroll down below for the official press release.
