1979 Ford Bronco 4x4

Hello,

I would like to introduce myself. My name is Dan Profitt and I am an avid motorsport enthusiast and have been playing with cars, trucks, and other toys for over 22 years. I am not a dealer and I am not a "flipper" in the traditonal sense. When I see something of interest, I try my best to buy it, maybe play with it, maybe add to it, or maybe just sell it and market it to the correct crowd.

That being said, this is one of the nicest 79 Bronco's you will find on the planet! There are not too many people that have been taking the time and spending the big money on restorations of old Ford trucks. This particular Bronco restoration started out as a 99 percent rust free example and is now truly stunning! The paint, trim and body are awesome! I have pictures of the truck in various states of the restoration for the new owner. Now this is not a 100 point truck as it still could use a few items here and there to make it perfect, but any new owner always wants to change or improve a new toy! The Bronco has been driven about 2,000 miles since to complete body off restoration. It is lifted with large tires and wheels, so it does not drive like a Cadillac and is not quiet like a Cadillac by any stretch. It is rude and crude as 70's engineering dictated!

I have attached 76 high resolution photos for you to take a look at. Below is a quick list of details of the good and the bad, but I will let the pictures do the talking in this case. Please remember that I just aquired this Bronco, so I am sure I will miss some things, but you will get the point. Please remember that restorations like this do not come around often and if you try and restore one or hire one out yourself, well you know you can spend 40K in a heartbeat.

Aprrox 2,000 miles on complete restoration
Most all componants new or rebuilt
Rebuilt (w/shift kit) C6 trans
Completely rebuilt 460 .30 over (Heads are stock spec, but cleaned up)
Aluminum intake
Holly 650 dual feed
Rebuilt NP 205 transfer case
Rebuilt 9 Inch rear axle
Rebuilt Dana 44 front axle
4:10 gear ratio front and rear
Mickey Thompson 15x12 Classics
Mickey Thompson Baja Radial 36x14.5x15
New carpet
New seats
New trim
New radiator
New heater core
New windshield
New 6 Inch lift
New bumpers
Top is has been smoothed
New ceramic coated headers and exhaust
Frame has been powder coated

The few things that need attention are:

Steering wheel could use a new center piece or replaced.
Heater does not work. Most of the system is new, but does need some work.
Gas gauge does not work. Tank and sending unit were new. I was told power is still to the sending unit, so it is expected that it may have failed.
Radio is present, but not hooked up. You could not hear it anyway over the tires, exhaust, electric fuel pump, and general road noise!
Switch on dash for rear glass does not work, the rear on the gate does.
Could use two exhaust hangers fabricated and the end of the run.

Now for the boring stuff! The Bronco will not leave my possesion until full complete payment has been made and cleared. No exceptions! I will take certified funds or a wire transfer, but as I mentioned, a certified check will need to clear 5 business days before the Bronco leaves! The buyer is responsible for shipping and the cost associated. I will assist with making sure the Bronco is safley loaded. The Bronco is currently tucked away safe and it is not super easy to gain access to, so needless to say I will have to pre-qualify potential buyers before any inspections. I encourage you to look at it in person or have a third party perform an inspection at your cost, but please be serious. I will not disclose my reserve and I am not interested in any trades, just cash! Please let me kow if you have any questions and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Obviously there is no warranty expressed or implied. If you have no feedback or feedback under 10, please contact me before bidding. Now....Please enjoy the pictures!

Forza Horizon 3 car list keeps on truckin'

Tue, Aug 9 2016

We've covered three weeks of car reveals for Forza Horizon 3, and this time we get a better look at the trucks, SUVs and other off-roaders you'll be able to use to explore Australia. This week's list kicks things off with two of the most legendary off-roaders in the world, the Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser and the Meyers Manx. They have different purposes; the FJ40 is for tough trail work and the Manx is for some light-hearted beach fun. But no one could deny the cultural importance of either. And both should be a blast in Horizon 3. In addition to this pair of classics, players will have a chance to get behind the wheel of both a race version of the Ford F-150 Raptor and its closest rival, the Ram Runner. And when traditional vehicles start to get boring, why not take out a full-blown Baja racer such as the Penhall Cholla or the Rockstar energy drink version of the little Polaris RZR XP 1000 side-by-side? Forza Horizon 3 is shaping up to have one of the most diverse car lists in a racing game in a long time. There are still cars left to be revealed, so stay tuned for further installments and see this week's full list below. 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air 2002 Ferrari 575M Maranello 1992 Ford Escort RS Cosworth 2013 Ford Focus ST 1973 Ford Escort RS1600 1971 Ford Falcon XY GTHO Phase III 2014 Ford Fiesta ST 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor Race Truck 1954 Jaguar XK120 SE 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT 2012 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 1986 Lancia Delta S4 2009 Lexus IS F 1957 Maserati 300 S 1994 Mazda MX-5 Miata 1967 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG Black Series 1971 Meyers Manx 2012 Mini John Cooper Works GP 1998 Nissan R390 1979 Opel Kadett C GT/E 2011 Penhall The Cholla 1971 Plymouth Cuda 426 Hemi 2015 Polaris RZR XP 1000 EPS Rockstar Edition 2013 Ram Runner 1993 Renault Clio Williams 1990 Subaru SVX 1979 Toyota FJ40 2005 TVR Sagaris 1990 Vauxhall Lotus Carlton Related Video: News Source: Playground Games / MicrosoftImage Credit: Playground Games / Microsoft Auto News Toys/Games Ford RAM Toyota forza exclusive ford f-150 raptor forza horizon forza horizon 3 toyota fj40 meyers manx

GM already raising prices on 2014 Silverado and Sierra pickups

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

General Motors must be pretty pleased with sales of its two newest pickups, the GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado, as it's announced price hikes for both models, as part of a planned price tweak.
Prices will be bumped by as much as $1,500, although weirdly, they'll be offset by as much as $1,500 in cash-back offers through the end of October. Fox Business reports that GM spokesman Jim Cain said of the price hike, "With the sell down of the '13 models nearly complete, this price adjustment was planned and is a normal part of business."
The move, as Fox is quick to point out, is an interesting one, as sales of the twin pickups struggled last month relative to the Ford F-Series, while both of GM's crosstown competitors have been aggressively undercutting Silverado and Sierra prices. The F-150 starts at $24,070 and the Ram 1500 comes in at $23,600, not counting any cash on the hood. A base Silverado, meanwhile, retails at $25,575.
