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 Explorer Jackson Pollock Edition results in trip to hospital
Tue, 02 Jul 2013Among the many useful pieces of driving advice we've taken to heart over the years, "Safely secure all cargo" is etched pretty high on our personal stone tablets. We've had a couple of frustrating moments over the years (numerous wonky cupholders and too-tall lidded cups; a radar detector that released its suction cups and dashed itself below the dashboard, etc.), but never anything like the scene above.
These photos above come courtesy of the Washington State Patrol, and they show the unfortunate aftermath of a driver, his dog, and his Ford Explorer after it crashed near the town of Belfair last week. According to reports, the man was schlepping five-gallon containers of paint inside his vehicle when he was involved in an unexplained accident. It's not clear what triggered the crash, but the impromptu abstract painting covered the whole of the interior, including the driver and his faithful companion.
The man was transported to a local hospital for minor injuries, and his dog was cleaned and later taken to a humane society.
Jay Leno's Garage goes eco with Ricardo HyBoost
Mon, 17 Mar 2014"Now before you turn away, this is not another boring hybrid car thing..." Despite the slightly defensive introduction from Jay, the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage is actually pretty fascinating. The Ricardo HyBoost is a 2009 Ford Focus that has had a 1.1-liter engine swapped in for the stock 2.0-liter four. That might not get you performance enthusiasts out there fired up, until, that is, you hear that the 1.1L is also fed by both a turbocharger and an electrically driven supercharger for an instant-on "torque-fill" effect. Sounds about right, considering that Ricardo engineering is part of the genius behind the McLaren P1.
Perhaps most exciting of all, the Ricardo folks say that the package should run somewhere in the neighborhood of $1,100. A sort of performance-hybrid that makes sense for the frugal driver and the enthusiast one, then. There's a lot more to the HyBoost, all of which can be seen in the video below.
