1978 Ford Bronco on 2040-cars
|
Condition: Very good condition 1978 Bronco Custom. Runs and drives very well for 35 year old car that has not been fully restored. It would be difficult to find original Bronco in better condition. Completely reliable and easy to start in cold or heat -- always turns over on first try. Body in good condition with little to know rust, unlike many Bronco's from this era. Bright blue paint is not original color -- not certain when paint job was completed but looks to have been done in last 10 years. Starting to see minimal signs of surface rust on interior corner of doors and door wells (so minimal that it is difficult to see in pics). The car was located in AZ until 2008. AC doesn't work. AC Compressor is present but not hooked up. Heater works. Heater vent fan bearings are starting to go and making noise but works (~$35 for new fan). New alternator and battery in Spring 2013. New exhaust/muffler in summer 2013. New Brakes in Fall 2013. $1500 spent on completely new brakes replacement/overhaul (new front rotors, calipers, rear drums, and brake lines). Tires have plenty of thread. The rear window, which is often an issue with these vehicles, is fully operational. Interior is black vinyl floor with some tears. Front seats and rear are original blue vinyl. Front seats have some tears and are covered with cloth seat covers. Rear seat is in good shape with minimal tears. Constantly getting compliments on this truck.
Features: 451M. 3 speed automatic transmission. NP203 full-time 4WD transfer case. Removable top is great for summer. Has aftermarket CD player and set of rear speakers (no door speakers). Aftermarket polished American Racing wheels, including spare wheel, with 33"x11.5" all-terrain tires. Spare tire is 31"x10.5". History: To the best of my knowledge, the car was in AZ until 2008, which is why the body has little to no rust present. After the vehicle was moved to southern WI. I purchased vehicle in May 2013 and currently reside in Chicago. I hate selling, but I am moving across the country. Must sell vehicle before leaving in a few weeks. Shipping and Payment: Winning bidder is responsible for $1000 deposit within 48 hours of auction close. Remaining full payment via certified check is required within seven days of auction close. Clear title in hand to make for quick transaction. Shipping arrangements and cost are the responsibility of the winning bidder. Please message with any questions or requests for more pictures. |

Ford to update Sync, MyFord Touch software... again
Wed, 07 Aug 2013Ford hasn't had the best luck with its MyFord Touch and Sync systems, as the finicky infotainment system has been subject to a critical whooping while customer issues have helped sink Ford's IQS scores. The automaker has made a concerted effort, though, to try and fix MyFord Touch. And while the results have been mixed, The Blue Oval is hoping its latest free update, set to go live next week, will make things better.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the new system promises streamlined voice commands with fewer levels between opening query and actual result. Ford is also addressing where certain options are selected on the touchscreen. Rather than working one of the four quadrants on the homescreen, users will be able to select anywhere within the quadrant to make adjustments.
While it might only be a band-aid for MFT's problems, the fact that Ford is still trying to improve it is a promising sign. It's going to take more than just this update to address the system's ills, though.
'Car Wars' says Ford, Honda to pick up share, Fiat-Chrysler ambitions downplayed
Sat, 14 Jun 2014Don't look for a tremendous shifts in automotive market share over the next three years because it might not be coming. That's at least according to the annual Car Wars report by John Murphy, from Bank of America Merrill Lynch Global Research.
In the report's analysis of automakers' market share from 2013 to 2017, it predicts only small changes among the major companies. Ford and Honda see the biggest positive effect with an estimated 0.5 percent increase in their shares over the next three years; to 16.2 percent and 10.3 percent respectively. On the flip side, European automakers and Nissan are expected to lose 0.2 percent each to fall to 8.3 percent and 7.8 percent each respectively. The rest of the industry is predicted to hold steady as it is now.
The biggest loser in that prediction might be Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles. The report certainly throws a wet blanket on its plan for significant gains in market share. Murphy told The Detroit News that the company's goal was "almost unattainable."
This woman owns the first Ford Mustang sold in the US
Wed, 11 Dec 2013As Ford celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Mustang with the unveiling of the all-new sixth-gen design, one Chicago women can lay claim to a piece of Mustang history. According to CBS Chicago, Gail Wise was the first person in the US to buy a Mustang in 1964, and she did so two days before the car was even unveiled to the public.
Wise, then a 22-year-old teacher, went into the Chicago Ford dealership wanting to buy a convertible, and a salesperson ushered her over to car covered by a tarp. That car was a baby blue Mustang convertible, which she still owns today - along with the documentation. After sitting for almost 30 years and undergoing a full restoration, the car now looks to be in original condition. The report says that this $3,400 purchase could be worth anywhere between $100,000 and $250,000. While this worked out well for Mrs. Wise, we wouldn't recommend anyone going into a dark, back room of a dealership hoping to get a jump on the purchase of a 2015 Mustang.
