1978 Ford Bronco on 2040-cars
Woodland, Washington, United States
|
So...this 1978 Ford Bronco is that one owner 72,000 mile Bronco you could only hope to find. It was ordered back East by the original owner and brought out to Portland, OR in 1982 and has lived her since in an inside storage inviroment. The original owners wife donated it when her husband became ill. I was fortunate enough to be able to obtain it. I have been hunting for Bronco's as a hobby for years. I travel for work and for me, it is all about the hunt to find these Bronco's in great condition because most of them have been around the mountain a time or two. I have talked to the original owners wife and can put you in touch with her.
The Interior in this Bronco is a 9 out of 10, only because one can always find something wrong with anything. Factory black and silver Vinyl seats. Factory roll bar and air conditioning. The only the thing the interior does not have is tilt wheel and cruise control. All gauges and instruments work as new. Factory AM//FM Stereo. When you take this out of park to drive it feels as though the linkage isn't even connected because of the newness of the Bronco. When you unlock the doors with a key you can feel the mechanism is still greased from factory, nice and smooth. It is simply impresseve. Looking under the dash all moldings and carpet are as new. Closing the doors is a simple click and they latch. The original owner has added those "old man" add ons. Air pump with air horn under the hood (not working). Fog light for backing up and indicating lights so if your lights are on you are aware of it. Factory push bar with factory fog lights. Double Shocks, Dual exhaust, headers and tow hitch. This is a trailer special from the Factory, therefor it has an oil bath air cleaner and an added oil transmission cooler. The Bronco sat for 3 years. I installed a new fuel pump and have I have been smiling every since because driving this Bronco reflects is mileage and condition. The paint is original and the patina on the paint is somewhat confusing because above the molding it is faded but will easily rub out and shine. I can't bring myself to doing that because of the originality of the Bronco. The hood is faded in spots to the underprimer. All chrome molding, grill, headlight rings and chrome bumpers are outstanding. A rare thing in itself. The chrome window gimp molding is in unbelievable condition. There are brand new 33.1250.15 BFG All Terrain's that I have put on the Bronco. Unfortunately, the 10 X 15 Aluminum slots are new wheels from 1978 that I can not replace, therefor I am keeping them. In place I have 10 X 15 chrome spokes that are in outstanding condition. (can submit photos if needed) This is that rare one owner Bronco with original miles. Believe me there will be no disappointments with this Bronco. If you have any questions please contact me. ********Check my my feedback and you will see the prior Bronco's I have sold have had 100% feedback************ |

Ford recalls 434k vehicles for several unrelated issues
Mon, 07 Apr 2014It seems that the hard winter in much of the country has been as rough on some Fords as it has on many people. The Blue Oval is recalling roughly 434,000 vehicles in two separate recalls, and one of them partially caused by the salt used to melt the snow on roads.
The first recall covers 385,750 2001-2004 Escape models in the Midwest, Northeast and Canada because a subframe could rust and eventually fail. This is partially due to the road salt used in those areas, and about 349,000 of the affected vehicles are in the US. To remedy the problem, dealers are installing a reinforcement cross brace on the frame to strengthen them. There has been one crash caused by the failure but no injuries. According to The Detroit News, this is not the first rust-related recall for Ford. It estimates the company has repaired over two million vehicles since 2010 for problems on vehicles related to the iron oxide, including the rear wheel wells of the Freestar minivan.
The second recall covers 48,950 2013-2014 Ford Fusion, Escape, C-MAX and Lincoln MKZ models because welds in their seatbacks don't meet National Highway Traffic Safety Administration standards. The fault affects the front seats, and the sub-standard welds joining the setback to the recliner could increase the chance on injury. There have been no reported injuries or accidents caused by the problem, but there are 42,972 affected vehicles in the US and 4,744 in Canada.
Ford tops mid-year ranking of brands in the US
Thu, 18 Jul 2013YouGov's mid-year Brand Index rankings of America's best perceived brands has been released, and Ford has found its way to the top. The Dearborn, Michigan based manufacturer beat out online shopping giant Amazon, The History Channel, and home improvement superstore Lowe's, to take the top spot.
Ford jumped from sixth overall in 2012 to first for 2013, but those that have been watching these rankings shouldn't be hugely surprised. Ford was rated the best perceived automotive manufacturer by the same organization last year. The Blue Oval's success on the overall brand rankings is made all the more impressive by the complete lack of other automakers on the list.
YouGov (that is, survey respondents) cited Ford's first quarter of 2013 business, which saw an increase in market share and the best earnings recorded in over 10 years. Successfully launching the Focus and Fusion (pictured) and keeping them fresh in the minds of consumers has also contributed to Ford's best overall score.
2015 Ford Focus gets more Aston-y [w/video]
Tue, 04 Mar 2014With more and more members of the Ford brand adopting a new familial face, the Focus has been left looking like an odd man out. At the Geneva Auto Show, though, it properly rejoined the family, adopting the now familiar Aston Martin-ish grille that's proliferated throughout the range.
Overall, we're liking the refreshed Focus' look. Aside from the new grille, the headlights have been restyled and now look like elongated versions of the lamps on the Focus ST. Functionally, those headlamps are bi-xenon units, complete with an adaptive front lighting system. Out back, the rear retains the same overall look, which has been smoothed out for 2015.
In the cabin, the second-generation of Ford's much-maligned Sync system makes its debut. Sync 2, as it's called, is supposedly more intuitive than the first-gen system. Ford is promising "one-shot" navigation functions for the system. Saying "I'm hungry," should bring up a list of nearby restaurants. Of course, we'll be reserving final judgment until we can test the new system in person.
