This was a Gentlemen's retirement project for me and now it's done. I have another one to work on now, so off it goes to a new owner. This truck has it all, and then some. I've spared no expense in getting it the way I wanted it, putting over $8,000.00 in to the project. I owned a new one in 1996 and wanted to enjoy another one, so I purchased this one. Redone from front to back with all new part's. Mostly upgraded one's at that. New Black factory paint, over previous factory Black paint. Paint was showing signs of fading. I give the paint job a 8.5 out of a possible 10. It does have some minor small scratches for it is a used truck. Unlike most Bronco's, this one has no rust issues that I could find. All doors and window seals have been replaced with new rubber. I replaced the drivers side wing window assembly and glass because it didn't seal correctly. The Tail gate Window was replaced, along with the Window / Tail gate seal's as well. It wouldn't defrost so out it went and the new one installed. A new and bright LED brake and white light was installed as well. New custom installed high intensity lights in the bumper, along with all new Lens both front and rear. The white headlights look super bright, and with the bumper lights really light up the road. All double and triple fused I might add. New grill guard just installed, along with a new Windshield and rubber seal. Truck has a custom Bra on it. All fluids from front to back were just changed, and the Transmission was just serviced. Engine and transmission run strong and smooth, and use's no Oil. I have been able to get almost 15.5 MPG on the Freeway. 4 wheel and 4 wheel low work perfectly and the dash light light's up to indicate so. All new Belt's, new idler arms, new Alternator, new thermostat and new anti-freeze as well, Brand new Costco 800 CCA Battery just installed. Over sized sway bars front and rear for great flat cornering. Four new struts up front, with 2 new shocks in the rear. ( all Gabriel ) Front end alignment just done when the Strut's were replaced. This Truck drives as straight as an Arrow when you take your hand's off the Wheel. I put a custom Class III trailer hitch on the truck for towing. This rig could pull a Boat or Trailer with no problem at all! No check engine lights are on!
I put new Rotors and Pad's on at all four wheels. Four new BFG 265 / 70/ R15 M & S tires, and near perfect factory rims with no road rash. Wheel locks for all four tires and the spare, which is close to new as well. All rims received new center caps and wheel lock's, A new spare tire cover to round out the outside appearance of the truck was put on. Brand new Flowmaster muffler with a polished aluminum tail pipe, which has a great low throaty rumble to it. Not" Kid loud" though! Locking gas cap for the 32 gallon gas tank. Just installed a water pump as well. Engine doesn't use or leak Oil, and the motor is super strong with all new plugs, etc. Fuel injection service has been done. Air filter was changed over to a K & N for better breathing. Truck passed Washington state's tough DEQ test with flying colors. Many suspension bushings replaced as well! The interior is like new, meaning the seat's ( lumbar works ) headliner, door, and the carpet are all in great shape. The door panels as well. Anything that looked worn from age I replaced. All electrical works as it should and the Air is cold. The courtesy lights in the overhead console all work, as does the Compass. I took out the old cassette radio and installed a new high end AM/FM / CD / IPOD / Bluetooth Stereo, I don't have the old radio and it didn't work anyway. All new upgraded top end speakers, with a new 200 Watt Amplifier for incredible sound. While at the Stereo shop, I had a $650.00 Avital Alarm system installed. Put a kill-switch in as well. Back side windows had been tinted for privacy, and the back seat look's like no one has ever sat in it. The stereo is set up for a phone with a mic, and along with the Ipod Classic sit's in a factory cut out in the lower dash. I just put on the new chrome wheel lip's yesterday so no dings yet. I have two front fender Bronco plaques ( Eddie Bauer ) but haven't put them on. Present one's are good. but these look newer. I replaced most badges with new one's, and added a few new one's as well, ie; Eddie Bauer on the Tail Gate, 5.8 Litre on Tailgate ( lower left ) 4 X 4 on front lower drivers side, and a 5.8 on the front passenger side.. For the BIN buyer, I will throw in a top end Magellan GPS and a new high quality Eddie Bauer Carpet kit ( $650.00 ). Kit covers the front seat area, back seat area, and the storage carpet area including the wheel bumps. As I said, the carpet doesn't need replacing at all, but I thought down the road it might so bought the carpet kit .In addition I will fill the trucks gas tank with Gas for you. Truck comes with all Book's, Brochures and receipts, You get a Chilton's repair manual for the truck as well. I have the clear title to the truck. I've done so much to the Bronco, I can't even remember everything. This Bronco is a Classic and will only go up in value, so buy it and enjoy it as it does! I'm located in the Portland Oregon metro area about 15 minutes from the Portland Airport if you want to fly in and drive the Bronco home. I welcome a PPI on the Bronco if you have any doubt's about the quality of the Truck This Bronco need's nothing but someone to enjoy it. Be it on road or off road! Additional photos available upon request, You won't find another Bronco in the shape this one is in. It may have 100,171 on the Clock, but look, drives, and feel's like a brand new one! |

Fiat boss Elkann being mentored by... Bill Ford?
Tue, 26 Mar 2013Fiat Chairman John Elkann has been turning to an unusual source for advice on the car business. While speaking during an interview with The Detroit News, Elkann said he often asks Bill Ford Jr. for advice on how to proceed with the turnaround at Chrysler. "It's great to have the opportunity to share this with someone like Bill, who has experienced many things and gone through many things ... especially linked to Detroit." Elkann said.
As the Agnelli family heir, Elkann has inherited a long and fruitful friendship with the Ford family. While Giovanni Agnelli built his first Fiat four years before Henry Ford created his first vehicle, it was Ford that showed Agnelli the benefits of mass production and helped pave the way for what would become the Fiat empire.
Giovanni's grandson, Gianni, helped mentor Bill Ford when he was elected chairman of Ford Motor Company. Now, Ford is returning the favor by helping Elkann navigate the automotive industry's tumultuous waters.
Ford F-150 bumps Camry from top of Cars.com American Made Index
Tue, 25 Jun 2013With July 4th just around the corner, what better time could there be for Cars.com to announce that the Ford F-150 is the Most American car of 2013? This may be especially true since it was the Toyota Camry, a car produced by a company based in Japan, that had held the top spot from 2009 to 2012.
Cars.com compiles its Most American list by considering the amount of parts each vehicle uses that come from America, where it's final assembly takes place and how many units per year are sold. "While the assembly point and domestic parts content of the F-150 didn't change from 2012-2013, vehicle sales are responsible for bumping the F-150 to the top spot," according to Patrick Olsen, Editor-in-Chief of Cars.com.
As far as automakers go (as opposed to individual models), Toyota retains the top spot it held in 2012, with General Motors, Chrysler, Ford and Honda (in that order) rounding out the list. The motivation behind this list each year, according to Olsen, is "to help car shoppers understand that 'American-Made' extends beyond just the Detroit three" and because "a study we conducted in 2012 indicated that 25 percent of shoppers surveyed preferred to buy American."
Next Ford Mustang to drop 400 pounds
Thu, 15 Aug 2013The Ford Mustang is already the lightest of the current crop of muscle cars, at around 3,600 pounds for a GT coupe with the six-speed manual transmission. That's almost 260 pounds less than a Chevrolet Camaro SS and about 450 pounds less than a Dodge Challenger R/T, which means the Mustang has a pretty big advantage when it comes to handling, braking, accelerating and economy. More good news: The next Mustang will be even lighter.
According to a report from Edmunds, the sixth-generation Mustang, which is set to debut at the 2014 North American International Auto Show, will shed an additional 400 pounds of body fat. That 11-percent weight reduction will be thanks to lightweight materials, with a particular focus on using stronger, but less material in construction. Aluminum will feature heavily, but Edmunds' inside source warns that there is "nothing terribly exotic" coming to the original pony car.
The other big news is that the new Mustang will be smaller overall. It's going to be 15-inches shorter than the 188.5-inch Mustang on sale today, while it'll also be 6.5 inches narrower. Shorter overhangs, both in the front and rear, are also good signs for those that want an agile Mustang.
