Hi up for auction is a 1979 Ford Bronco the truck only has a little over 44,000 miles on it. The bronco does have some rust issues that need attended to but is not bad for a 34 year old truck! This would be a perfect Bronco to have restored and put away. The engine is unmolested and everything is there except for the kick down rod so the transmission does not kick down, if you read on the internet you find many people removed them there are a pita to adjust and most people just removed them. The Bronco is the all-wheel drive model. I think the tires that are on the truck may very well be the originals according to the date code and they are not dry rotted and seem to be in decent shape but I wouldn't drive on them real far , the hub caps in the photos are not the originals but the originals will be included and are in good shape. The last owner said that the top has never been off so I never took it off either, the truck has a sunroof that he thought was installed at the factory but I am not sure about that, sunroof and top doesn't leak a drop, and I don't think the engine does either, like most of them did. Does not have air conditioning. The truck has been rust proofed but it still rusted around wheel wells and bottoms of panels and places. frame is good no bad rust issues there. upholstery is very nice but carpet is fading and the front seats seams are just starting to come apart but could be fixed easily.. The rear seat is almost perfect! The back window goes up and down just as it should. Doors are nice and tight as possibly could be, the rubber around doors are in good condition. The dew wipe on rear window has seen better days. The tail pipe is rusted off but will be a very easy fix and the rest of the exhaust looks pretty good, all factory guards are still in place. There is a dent on the rear passenger side and it could be fixed easy and is rot real noticeable anyway " see photo". I have changed the stereo but I have the original one and it will be included with the truck. The truck is 98% original and needs to be babied and restored and it would be a jewel, I wanted to restore it but just find I don't have the time or room to do so. The truck is dependable enough to be a daily driver. Has a trailer hitch and electric brake setup.

Rolling footage of the 2015 Ford Mustang hits YouTube [w/video]
Thu, 26 Dec 2013Just in time for the holidays: Ford took the 2015 Mustang to Route 66 to cook up rolling footage, and we've been given some of the leftovers ahead of the meal. There are no burnouts, no donuts, no revving, and thankfully, no music. It's just two minutes and 26 seconds of the new pony car running free in the desert.
So in case you needed more visualizing help, the video below will help you start imagining how you'll look in your 2014 Christmas present to yourself...
Ford profits soar as problems mount
Mon, 19 Aug 2013Ford is doing well. It can't make enough examples of its new Fusion, it can barely make enough of the aging F-150, it's getting good brand rankings, people like its turnaround story, it's selling oodles of product and its quarterly profit numbers end in the word "billion." As other high-flying examples have demonstrated over the past few years, though, big numbers can come with problems that aren't exactly small.
Automotive News has published a good "nutshell" report of Ford's progress and problems. The Dearborn automaker's optimistic "general label rule" determination of gas mileage for the C-Max Hybrid has led to lawsuits, hybrid software updates, a downward revision of C-Max fuel economy and millions in rebates. AN notes the C-Max was the "worst-scoring model in this year's J.D. Power Initial Quality Study," but Ford will probably be happy that it managed not to be mentioned further in the study's results after last year's mediocre showing. Its MyTouch and SYNC systems, the bugbears sabotaging Ford's J.D. Power results, have also led to lawsuits, software updates, more software updates and a center console rethink. On top of that, the 1.6-liter EcoBoost in the 2013 Ford Escape that Ford called a "hero" was soon catching fire for three different reasons. And let's not even get into the troubled launch of the Lincoln MKZ.
The Automotive News piece notes that industry observers have been surprised at Ford's stumbles because everything has been looking so good. Nevertheless, there is still the issue of those billions in profits - the company is doing plenty of things, plural, right. Ford says it is tackling its problems, hiring engineers and instituting new quality control processes as part of its effort to find solutions. The test will be to see if in a year from now we begin the discussion of these issues with "Remember when Ford...", or "Problems continue at The Blue Oval."
Ford EcoSport Storm concept swallows a Raptor in Sao Paulo
Sun, 02 Nov 2014Ford rolled into the Sao Paulo Motor Show with some pretty cool crossovers in tow, the awesomest of all being the EcoSport Storm concept shown above, which draws its inspiration directly from the F-150 SVT Raptor. It packs a lower grille clearly derived from the now-famous muscle truck, as well as a Blue Storm paint job, black and silver trim, special graphics, lower body cladding and 215/75 R15 off-road tires. Don't go holding your breath for a supercharged V8, though; made locally in Brazil, India and Thailand, the tiny EcoSport is typically powered by a three- or four-cylinder engine.
The Storm isn't the only specially prepared Ecosport on show, however, joined as it is by another pair called Beauty and the Beast. Beauty is decked out in matte copper with a black roof, LED fog lamps, 18-inch wheels with low-profile tires and an interior complete with four individual bucket seats, leather upholstery and a full multimedia suite. The Beast, meanwhile, takes a sportier approach with a white pearl finish, blue and orange trim and three-bar grille. It also wears 18-inch wheels and LED fog lamps, but its interior swaps out its rear seats for a bike rack.
Joining the EcoSport show cars was an Edge crossover equipped with all the latest technologies and done up in bright red with three-bar grille, bulging hood, and an interior featuring 10-inch touchscreens and leather upholstery. Feel free to read more in the press release below.
