This is a 1977 Bronco with Automatic C4 transmission, Power steering, Power disk brakes and a strong 302 V8.

Pros- Rust free CA car, driven to NYC from Bay Area, in December. Garage kept for its few short months in NYC.

The Bronco ran great on the drive, did not leak or burn any oil.

New Holley 350 2 barrel carb.

New 12 Gallon Auxiliary tank with electric switching valve. (Has never had gas in it).

New Fold and Tumble rear seat.

23 Gallon main tank.

3 inch Wild Horses lift kit.

33 Inch Yokohama tires with plenty of life.

Wiper motor lowering bracket.

4X4 works great, hubs lock and unlock with ease, drove great in the storms over the last winter.

79,000 miles on odometer. I dont know most of the history of this truck, but the condition is good enough that I think it is accurate.

Besttop softop in decent condition.

Located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn 11211.

This truck drives like a car. Automatic transmission, power steering and disk brakes have almost made me forget how brutal the earlier models were, with the 3 speed on the column and no power steering. A completely different animal.

My 100 pound wife has no problem jumping in it and driving it all over NYC. (Yes, for those of you who have seen her driving it around Brooklyn, thats her, and no. She is not part of the sale. Im doing my best to keep that one :-)

Cons-

Does not come with the Hardtop. ( I actually think thats a good thing. Finding a place to put the top when you take it off has never been easy!)

Hazard lights and front driver's turn signal are not functional. Hazards just stay solid and turn signal socket is broken. I havent had time to deal with it.

Slight leak on Transfer case; you can see a light coating of oil on the bottom of the case.

No A/C.

No stereo.

For clarity- when I say no rust I mean there is no body rot anywhere, I see a light coating of rust on the leaf springs and the u joint knuckle, and a few other places on the underside. I would cover it with undercoating if I were keeping the truck, but I knew Id be selling it, and I didnt want to hide anything from the next owner.

Paint - a good ten footer. Looks great until about 10 feet away, then you see things like cracks and bubbles in areas on the hood scoop. Overall it looks good, but it is by no means perfect.

Weekly Recap: Toyota, Mazda team up to 'make cars better'

Sat, May 16 2015

Toyota and Mazda are teaming for a noble purpose: to "make cars better." That's how the two Japanese automakers termed their partnership, which was announced this week. So what does this actually mean? The companies said they will set up a joint committee to look for areas of cooperation and named safety and the environment as issues they plan to tackle. From a product perspective, it's believed that Toyota is interested in Mazda's Skyactive engine portfolio. In turn, Mazda has its eye on Toyota's fuel-cell and plug-in hybrid technology. While more specifics were not confirmed, the companies said the "agreement will go beyond the traditional framework of cooperation," and it has the potential to be a long-range partnership. "The main purpose of this initiative is to enhance the appeal of our cars," Toyota president Akio Toyoda said at the announcement. Previously, Mazda has licensed Toyota's hybrid tech and assembled compact cars for Toyota in Mexico. Akio Toyoda said these projects "triggered" the automakers to explore further collaboration. Dave Sullivan, product analysis manager for AutoPacific, said the tie-up echoes Daimler's wide-ranging work with the Renault-Nissan alliance. "This could be a well-groomed match due to each having very unique skill sets," he said. OTHER NEWS & NOTES Volvo selects South Carolina for US factory Volvo confirmed this week that it will build its first US factory in South Carolina, with construction set to begin this fall. The company first revealed plans in March, though it didn't announce a site. The plant will have initial annual production of 100,000 units, though the vehicle or vehicles to be assembled were not specified. The factory, located near Charleston, will open in 2018 and ultimately employ 4,000 people. The facility will help Volvo continue its growth strategy, which includes strengthening its presence in the US market, where it wants to sell more than 100,000 cars per year. "Building a plant in the US is a reflection of Volvo Cars' commitment to the US and the key role the US plays in our growth objectives," Lex Kerssemakers, senior vice president, Americas, said in a statement. Ford GT spied on the road The 2017 Ford GT was spotted testing around the Blue Oval's headquarters in Dearborn, MI, this week. The raw body panels were exposed, and they lacked paint or camouflage. It's the first time the GT has been captured on the street after a spring of auto show reveals.

Ford S-Max Concept previews new look, technology for Euro seven-seater

Wed, 28 Aug 2013

Ford unveiled today the S-Max Concept, which comes with a new, sleek look and loaded with innovative technology, such as a heart-rate monitoring seat. But if you're heart is set on a minivan sports activity vehicle (SAV) and you live in the States, don't wait for this one - it's a Europe-only product, and we don't expect that to change when the next-gen S-Max is released.
The styling follows Ford's global design language, looking a bit like an overgrown Focus hatchback with the company's signature grille, wraparound headlamps, steeply raked windshield and curved roof line. Ford also implemented details to make the S-Max look longer and faster, such as a feature line on each side of the vehicle and muscular-looking fenders. The engine isn't Ford's most powerful, but the new 1.5-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine should be potent enough with turbocharging and other efficiency related technologies.
Ford says the new interior, which seats up to seven people, features high-quality materials and fine detailing, such as an "ultra-soft" leather wrap for the instrument panel and leather and carbon-fiber details on the seats. Ford's Sync connectivity system with MyFord Touch makes the car a wireless hotspot, and there's a tablet docking station for second-row occupants.

Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line

Wed, 05 Jan 2011

The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.
