1989 Ford Bronco Xlt Centurion 4-door 1-ton Suv on 2040-cars
Evansville, Indiana, United States
|
You are bidding on a very rare and very cool 4-door Ford Bronco built on the frame of a Ford F350 1-ton truck ... This Bronco
was the precursor to the Excursion, is in very nice condition inside and out, has
always been serviced and is very well optioned (see
description below for a list of all options and mods). The odometer shows 43,245 on it, which from the records I believe is the current mileage on the 460 motor following a rebuild in 2002. The F350 frame showed 125,900 for the mileage in 2003. The body was from a 1989 Bronco and does not have a VIN associated with it. This truck was built as an off-road vehicle so the previous owner didn't care about the interior or a perfect paint job. He had his body man spray the truck matte black over the green and tan factory paint. The interior is nice but not perfect. The seats and dash are the best part, as I personally would replace the carpet and headliner. The body is straight with no rust issues, and the engine runs very strong. The upgrades were done correctly with high quality parts. Everything electrical works as designed. It drives very well, even with the lift and large tires. The title history report shows two accidents, but the only thing carried over from the F350 donor vehicle is the frame and axles. The Bronco donor body had no accident history and is still clear of dents, dings, etc. Photos show the condition the most accurately, so please request them. It's a very cool, rare Bronco!
Additional Details: (VIN: 2FTJW36G6KCA17910), matte black / tan cloth int., auto trans., 43,250 miles shown on odo., this is a very rare FordBronco modified by Centurion Vehicles out of MI into a 1-ton, 4-door Bronco. These were available new through Ford dealer ships, and these were the precursors to the 2000 Excursion. This Centurion features the following upgrades and Options: windshield visor and roof rack, 7.5L 460 big block with side exit exhaust, MSD ignition, K&N air filter, C-6 auto trans with HD torque converter and shift kit, balanced steel driveshaft, F350 1-ton frame, axles and suspension, 2H/4H/4L selectable 4x4, Skyjacker lift kit, 3rd row seating w/ second row bench, power driver seat with lumbar, power front windows & rear window / locks / cruise, tilt steering wheel, interior wood package, overhead console package, towing package with electric brake controller, Pioneer in-dash CD with Rockford Fosgate amp and Infinity 10" subs in custom boxes, alloy rims with 37x12.5-R16 GoodYear Wrangler MT mud tires, over $7,200.00 invested in the mods, not including the F350 or Bronco! If you want some thing rare and unique with the ability to haul 9 people and their luggage this is the truck for you. You won't ever see another one of these on the road or at you local 4x4 show. About Centurion conversion: From the late 1980s through its demise in 1996, the Bronco was also sold at Ford dealerships as a modified 4-door SUV (making it similar to the Excursion or Suburban). These 4-door Broncos were converted by Centurion Vehicles of White Pigeon, Michigan. The conversion involved combining a new club cab short bed F-Series truck with a Bronco body, tailgate and fiberglass top. The end result? A huge, versatile, extremely rugged SUV. In addition to adding a third row of seats and more room, a Bronco Centurion could be ordered using an F-350 as the donor pickup, allowing the Centurion to have such engines as the 7.3L PowerStroke turbo diesel and the 7.5L 460ci gasoline V8. This made the Centurion more appealing to people in need of a comfortable tow vehicle, albeit a faster one. Over time the few of these cars that still exist are rare and valuable, except for the certain percentage of Northern cars that suffered from tailgate rust-out due to poor body paint preparation. The Bronco Centurion could be ordered with options such as a third-row seat that can be folded into a bed, second row bucket seats, a TV with a VCR, and a built-in radar detector.

Ford Police Interceptor with 2.0L EcoBoost rated most fuel-efficient police sedan
Tue, 26 Nov 2013Back in September, Ford announced a non-pursuit version of its Police Interceptor Sedan, which swaps out a choice of two V6 engines for a fuel-efficient 2.0-liter EcoBoost inline four-cylinder. This Special Service Police Sedan will be marketed to law enforcement agencies looking to cut fuel costs and don't need the extra power.
For college campuses, detectives and the like, this new police car has now been certified with EPA fuel economy estimates of 20 miles per gallon in the city, 32 mpg on the highway and a combined rating of 24 mpg. These figures represent a decrease of two mpg in city and combined ratings compared to the civilian-spec 2014 Taurus. These police cars still offer active grille shutters for better aerodynamics, although we're guessing agencies upfitting their cars with light bars and push bumpers aren't exactly concerted with aerodynamics. The true benefit of the SSP version is when it's compared against other police sedan options like the Dodge Charger, Chevy Impala, Chevy Caprice and even the V6 Police Interceptor Sedan.
Ford claims the new Police Interceptor Sedan SSP is the most fuel-efficient current option for police departments, saying that this car can save $1,720 per car over three years and almost $260,000 over the same span of time for fleets with 150 vehicles. There is an official press release posted below, and also check out the gallery of images from Ford collected from various police agencies across the US (although none show the 2.0-liter SSP model). Head on over to Ford's Police Interceptor mini-site for even more pictures of the Police Interceptor Sedan and Utility.
Ford issues six recalls covering 101,000 vehicles for multiple issues
Tue, 08 Jul 2014Ford is announcing six separate recalls for a variety of issues affecting a dozen models and a total of 100,610 vehicles in North America. However, according to Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker, "None of them have caused accidents or injuries." Half of them cover fewer than 1,000 cars.
The largest recall covers 92,022 North American examples (about 83,250 in the US) of some models of the Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKS, Ford Interceptor, Flex and Lincoln MKT from the 2013 and 2014 model years; the 2012-2014 Edge and the 2014 Lincoln MKX. All of them have a potential issue with the halfshaft on the right side that might not be fully seated and could move outward over time. If it shifts too far, the models may no longer be able to drive, and the condition could also allow the vehicles to roll away, even when in Park. Dealers will inspect the shaft to make sure it's seated and will replace the part if necessary.
The next-largest recall covers 5,264 North American examples (4,867 in the US) of the Ford F59 Commercial Stripped Chassis from the 2011-2014 model years. It's possible that an electrical junction box can corrode in areas with salty roads and short circuit. The problem could potentially cause a fire. Dealers will replace the box with an improved design.
US Ford Focus RS to be imported from Europe
Tue, 21 Oct 2014Rumors about the forthcoming Ford Focus RS are flourishing into what sounds like a very impressive new hot hatch. The latest scuttlebutt gives the first indication about when we might see a few of these fast Focuses on roads here in the US.
Unnamed insiders reportedly confirmed to The Truth About Cars that Ford plans to launch the Focus RS in the US in 2016. However, getting one might not be so easy - the boosted powertrain means the car would likely need to be imported from Europe. That's likely going to keep the total number available in the US rather low. The sources estimate a price tag that's a bit more expensive than the top Focus ST3, which starts around $28,500, plus $825 destination.
It seems that a pretty potent package comes for all of that cash, though. The Focus RS reportedly uses a 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder making between 325 and 350 horsepower, with a torque-vectoring all-wheel drive system to get that muscle to the road. The test mules also wear more aggressive front and rear fascias, dual exhaust tips, larger brakes and sticky tires. It sounds like a great formula on top of the already enjoyable Focus ST.
