Up for auction is a 1987 FORD BRONCO FULL SIZE WITH THE CUSTOM PACKAGE. The Custom Package comes from the factory as the base model (the most desirable for collectors) and consists of a no-frills interior with rubber flooring, vinyl seats, manual windows, manual door locks, power steering, power disc brakes, air conditioning, a manual four speed transmission, four wheel drive and a power rear window. This Bronco was owned by one of the members of the King family, the owners of the famed King Ranch in South Texas and has his name on the CLEAR TEXAS TITLE, THE TRUCK WAS ORIGINALLY PURCHASED AND HAS ALWAYS LIVED IN DRY SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS. The tires are ALMOST NEW BF GOODRICH ALL TERRAIN TIRES and this truck is IN FANTASTIC SHAPE with the ORIGINAL PAINT ( the clear coat has come off the hood and some of the edges on the body which is typical of silver paint on Fords) , NO RUST, NO WRECKS OR DAMAGE TO THE BODY EVER. You can tell by looking at the chassis of this truck that THIS BRONCO HAS SEEN VERY LITTLE OFF ROAD USE, I was told by Mr. King that the off road use was limited to the dirt roads around the ranch. The truck is a FACTORY CUSTOM PACKAGE which consists of RUBBER FLOORING THAT YOU CAN WASH OUT WITH A WATER HOSE IF YOU CHOOSE TOO, VINYL BUCKET SEATS UP FRONT AND A MATCHING VINYL BENCH SEAT IN THE BACK, POWER STEERING, POWER DISC BRAKES, FOUR WHEEL DRIVE WITH MANUAL LOCKING HUBS, A FOUR SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION, AIR CONDITIONING (blows cold) and AM/FM/ CASSETTE RADIO (stock stereo still works but stock speakers need replacing). Like the exterior of the truck the interior is also in superb condition, there is a tear in the rubber flooring on the passenger side, the stock shifter knob will not tighten down and is somewhat annoying, and the gas gauge works perfectly (when it wants too) but other than that everything works as it should, THE DASH HAS NO CRACKS, and the truck is very comfortable, clean and has no funny smells etc. I have just had $1200.00 of work done on the truck (10/21/13) at Cambridge Automotive, San Antonio's best automotive shop according to AAA. Cambridge did a safety check, serviced the air conditioning, a full lubrication service, a major tune up, a fuel injection service, installed a NEW AC DELCO BATTERY and fixed the rear power window. The invoice for all this recent work come with the sell of the truck and all work and parts are fully warranted for 24 months or 24,000 miles and Cambridge will honor the warranty if the buyer is not from San Antonio. The buyer would just have to take the truck to a AAA approved place of repair and Cambridge will incur any and all cost of work that is under their warranty. The Bronco passed the safety inspection with flying colors and the only thing that was recommended by Cambridge is that the truck may need a new muffler at some point in the near future. The truck still has the original exhaust system on it and although the exhaust system is still fully functional and quiet, Cambridge said that the muffler is old( but it did not NEED to be replaced AT THIS TIME). This Bronco is VERY DEPENDABLE AND SOLID, IT IS A VEHICLE THAT YOU CAN FLY IN AND DRIVE HOME FROM ANYWHERE. The only non-stock items on this Bronco is the BF GOODRICH tires and the RANCH HAND FRONT GRILL GUARD, everything else is BONE FACTORY STOCK. The FOUR WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM WORKS FLAWLESSLY and the FRONT END IS TIGHT WITH NO PLAY OR WANDERING, the BRAKES ARE GOOD AND TRUE AND DO NOT PULL UNDER HARD BRAKING. The way I came to have this Bronco is that I have built multiple 1978-79 Ford Broncos from the ground up and the last one I built was a 1979 that I owned and drove for 12 years. Mr. King bought my 1979 Bronco from me 6 years ago with the understanding that if he ever wanted to sell it that I would have first right of refusal so true to his word Mr. King called me a few months ago and told me he was thinking of selling the 1979 Bronco and asked me if I wanted to buy it back. Of course I was curious and went to look at my old 79 Bronco and when I arrived at Mr. Kings home I noticed this 1987 Bronco also sitting in his shop and made an offer on both Bronco's which he accepted, I am keeping my old friend (the 1979 Bronco that I built all those years ago) and was planning to keep this 1987 Bronco to drive on my ranch in Colorado but after careful consideration I have decided that a truck would better serve me on the ranch and I do not need two Broncos so this 1987 is now up for auction. This Bronco is NOT your typical "ridden hard and put up wet" Bronco, this Bronco has been very well taken care of and it shows throughout the truck. THIS IS A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN ONE OF THE MOST DESIRABLE BRONCOS IN EXISTENCE. THEY JUST DO NOT COME UP FOR SALE IN THIS WONDERFUL STOCK CONDITION WITH THESE OPTIONS. DO NOT LET THIS BRONCO PASS YOU BY, YOU WILL REGRET IT. IF YOU HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THE BEST BRONCO YOU CAN FIND , LOOK NO FURTHER, THIS IS IT !!!!!!! THIS BRONCO ALSO COMES WITH ALL THE ORIGINAL BOOKS, MANUALS, WARRANTY CARDS, TRIM TAG, SERVICE AGREEMENT, ETC. FROM THE FACTORY WHEN THE TRUCK WAS BRAND NEW AND HAS ONLY 109600 ORIGINAL MILES. THIS BRONCO IS PRICED AT HALF THE COST OF ANY COMPARABLE BRONCO ON EBAY, YOU JUST CAN'T GO WRONG WITH THIS ONE. Please checkout my feedback, bid with confidence and bid to win this BEAUTIFUL FACTORY ORIGINAL 1987 FORD BRONCO CUSTOM PACKAGE. Thank you for looking at my auction, be sure to check out my other auctions and as always HAPPY MOTORING. ****A $500.00 NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT IS DUE 24 HOURS AFTER THE CLOSE OF THE AUCTION AND THE REMAINDER OF THE FUNDS ARE DUE WITHIN 7 DAYS OF THE CLOSE OF THE AUCTION.*******

Ford hybrid sales rebound following MPG controversy

Sun, 31 Aug 2014

Ford hybrid customers apparently have very short memories. With two EPA fuel economy reratings in the last year, sales of the C-Max, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ haven't been too terribly dented, Ward's Auto reports.
All three vehicles saw sales dips following the August 2013 rerating, although sales of the MKZ Hybrid had begun to rebound as early as November of that year. C-Max sales, meanwhile, took slightly longer, with sales on a steadily improving course as early as February of this year.
The second rerating, in June of this year, has had an even smaller effect on the Blue Oval's hybrids. The C-Max has actually been subject to a sales increase, while both the MKZ and Fusion saw minor sales drops (less than 400 units between the two in the month following the rerating).

Ford car-camo artist works his craft on Australia's new Falcon XR8

Fri, 25 Jul 2014

Ford is among the kings of concealment when it comes to test cars. On one recent Mustang SVT mule, the automaker went to the extreme of putting baffles over the exhausts to hide how many there were. Sounds like a lot of work, right? In a new video, the Blue Oval has decided to take fans behind the scenes to show them what it takes to camouflage a prototype. In this case the subject was the recently unveiled 2014 Falcon XR8 for Australia.
Ford's prototype build coordinator Down Under has the very appropriate name of Neil Trickey, and it's his job to obfuscate the important bits of test cars to keep them out of spy shooters' camera lenses. Trickey calls his job a "dark art," and he shows off some of the tricks of his trade in the video. It turns out that the fabric we often see on mules is a type of lycra, but his team isn't above getting out a can of spray paint to conceal parts, too.
Scroll down to watch a video about a man who you probably wish could be a little worse at his job.

Experts wonder if aluminum F-150 gives Ford a real advantage

Mon, 17 Mar 2014

There's no doubt that Ford is taking a risk in producing the body of its upcoming new F-150 pickup truck in aluminum. What is up for debate, however, is whether aluminum was a wise risk to take in the first place. Wards Auto took the opportunity to poll some experts on the subject of aluminum versus steel in the automotive sector, with somewhat unsurprising results.
Richard Schultz, a project consultant at Ducker Worldwide, which bills itself as "a leading aluminum industry consultant (though they also deal in steels), suggests that the potential drawbacks to aluminum - higher costs, lower supply - aren't really impediments to the auto industry's increased acceptance of the lightweight metal.
Similarly, Randall Scheps, global automotive marketing director for Alcoa, a massive aluminum producer, counters claims that aluminum is less safe for vehicle occupants, suggesting that the use of aluminum can actually increase safety as it could potentially allow for larger vehicles with more crush space than steel.
