1989 Ford Bronco, 302, 6" Lift, Only 15k Miles Since Frame Off Restoration on 2040-cars

Year:1989 Mileage:15050
Location:

Hahira, Georgia, United States

Hahira, Georgia, United States

Bought this truck about 5 years ago, a complete basket case. Wiring harness was completely, burnt, spliced, hacked, etc., throttle body and intake was completely shot, the dash guages and components were disconnected, no way of telling mileage, water temp, pressures, etc. Bought it to do a frame off restoration with my son, who was 13 at the time. Took a couple of years and about $16,000, but made a nice truck for him to drive to high school. He's graduated now and going off to college, so we are going to sell this truck and get him something smaller and more economical.

We completely disassembled the truck, had the engine and transmission professionally rebuilt, since the engine bay was in such bad shape we stripped all the wiring/electronics/throttle body and went with a new painless wire harness and Holley 600 cfm carbuerator, stripped, pressure washed and re-painted the frame, installed a 6" skyjacker suspension lift, new wheels and tires, new paint, billet grill, KC off-road lights on front brush guard, new carpet and new Auto Meter mechanical guages.

This truck is a steal for the minimum asking price. There is only 15,000 miles since the rebuild, most parts on this truck are new. There are a few issues that need to be addressed: The trim around the windshield is missing, the A/C is not hooked up, reverse lights do not work, some interior trim pieces are missing, small dent in drivers door, some knicks and scratches here and there, ignition switch on steering column is loose (new summit racing steering column), small items that were set aside when my son started driving and were forgot about. This truck just needs a good cleaning and some TLC. I must apologize for my son, we have been getting alot of rain and we live on a dirt road, that somewhat explains the dirty engine bay and undercarraige. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Truck is being sold as is, where is, with no warranties expressed or implied.

IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013

Wed, 02 Jan 2013

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.

Ford Fusion demand outstripping supply

Sat, 15 Jun 2013

The attractive new 2013 Ford Fusion has done wonders for the brand in the highly competitive midsize sedan segment - the vehicle is up nearly 22 percent compared to last year. But that sales momentum may soon hold steady due to low inventory levels of the new Fusion across the United States.
According to a report in The Detroit News, citing automotive data and Ward's Auto, Ford currently has a 39-day supply of the Fusion. That might sound fine, but a normally healthy average is about a 60-day supply. If Ford were to stop production on the Fusion today, there would only be enough vehicles available to get through another five weeks of sales, according to the News.
Currently, Ford produces the Fusion at its three-shift assembly plant in Hermosillo, Mexico, and will add production at its facility in Flat Rock, MI later this year. A Ford spokesperson told The Detroit News that when Flat Rock production comes online, the automaker will need to rush new stock out to the regions with the most demand for the Fusion. Ford has doubled its coastal retail market share, with huge amounts of growth in areas like Los Angeles, San Francisco and Miami, the News reports.

Airbag recall widens to include BMW, Chrysler, Ford and Toyota

Mon, 23 Jun 2014

The recall of faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata has exploded today to grow to seven automakers. In most cases, only models in certain high-humidity regions were affected because the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found in its investigation that moisture played a roll in determining whether there would be a problem. However, some companies opted for national campaigns. The exact number of affected models for these campaigns isn't yet known at this time.
BMW is recalling an undisclosed number of 325i, 325Xi, 330i and 330Xi models from the 2001 through 2005 model years and the 2001-2006 model year versions of the 325Ci and 330Ci for the driver side and passenger side inflators. Only vehicles currently registered in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands are covered under this recall.
Neither Chrysler's filing with NHTSA nor its press release list the specific models affected, but a company spokesperson told Autoblog that at this time it only covers the driver and passenger side inflators for the 2006 Dodge Charger in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands
