Original Classic 1970 Ford Bronco 76,911 Original Miles 302 V-8 Perfect Body Uncut New Paint Showroom Piece Super Clean Interior New Tires Drum Brakes New Door Seals Rebuilt Carburetor You are looking at a 1970 Original Ford Bronco with 76,911 original mile. The Bronco is an unrestored other than it was repainted the original color a few years ago. The Bronco has been garaged and everything works on the drive very well. The tires are are in excellent condition. The All the doors are straight and shut tight. The seats, headliner, radio (AM), antenna..... really everything I can think of looks and works well. The engine runs great and has always been tuned by a local classic car guy who owns a shop and knows how to tune properly. It has the original distributor and runs points. Never upgraded to electronic ignition as it's easy to care for and really kind of cool being original. The exhaust is also original and works well. Both fuel tanks work well and the valve to switch tanks works also. All instrument panels and lights, gauges work. All chrome bumpers are in great condition I believe to original It has some factory options, the 4:10 rear differential and 9" Ford rear axle. That means with the 302 V-8 (first year of what would become the 5.0 Mustang motor in the early 80's - underrated at 205 bhp and 300 lb/ft of torque) and the three speed manual column shifter (3-on-the-tree) get poor gas mileage (about 10mpg), but will climb the side of a mountain like a billy-goat. It's purpose built, of course. History: The original owner bought the Bronco new and it spent its life as a daily driver from 1970-2007 in Durango, Colorado. Then the 2nd owner who was a collector bought it and repainted it and cleaned it up and it has sat garaged since 2007. I believe he may have put 1000 miles on it in 5-6 years. I bought the Bronco to be a daily drive for me to make my big 1 mile commute to work everyday. Needless say I haven't been driving it and I have a a few cars and I am needing to make some garage space. Please note the only issue I have found on the Bronco is the inside left engine sidewall has barley rusted through , overall there is a 2" round part where the metal is thin.(Please see pictures). There is a black mark like possibly something in the engine compartment got on the sidewall and accelerated the process. Also there is a small bulldog hood ornament the prior own put on. Other than that the Bronco is perfect and run great.

Ford pits Cobra Jet versus GRC Fiesta ST, worlds collide
Thu, 31 Oct 2013Racing takes on many forms in the automotive world. There are sanctioned events that are as varied and diverse as NASCAR, Formula One, Global Rallycross and drag racing, and to be good enough to win competitively in one discipline, you need to have a specialized vehicle. Or do you?
Ford decided to find out what would happen when its Global Rallycross Fiesta ST, driven by Tanner Foust, lined up against its Mustang Cobra Jet drag racer, driven by Roy Hill. In one lane, Tanner has just 2.0 liters of displacement to work with, while Roy has more than double that, at 5.0 liters. Evening the playing field a bit, Tanner has a massive turbocharger and all-wheel drive; Roy has to filter all his supercharged power through the rear wheels only.
So, who wins? We suggest you see for yourself in the press release and video below. And we're holding out hope that Tanner's challenge at the end results in another video from Ford Racing...
Ford wins second consecutive International Van of the Year award with Transit Connect
Wed, 18 Sep 2013The redesigned 2014 Ford Transit Connect isn't even on sale yet, but it's already making its presence felt around the world. At a commercial vehicle expo in Russia, the Transit Connect was named the International Van of the Year.
Ford's small work van edged out the new Mercedes-Benz Sprinter by just seven points to allow Ford to grab this honor for the second consecutive year, which it won last year with the Transit Custom. Not only does this make Ford the first to ever win the award in back-to-back years, but it's also the fifth time the automaker has won this award since 2003 (two with the Transit Connect, two with the fullsize Transit and once with the Transit Custom). Ford congratulates itself for the accomplishment in a press release posted below.
NHTSA advances investigation of Ford Crown Victoria headlights
Sat, Aug 15 2015The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening a preliminary evaluation into reports of suddenly failing headlights on 517,945 examples of the 2003-2005 Ford Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis. The government started looking into this problem in April when the North Carolina Consumers Council filed a defect petition with the agency. Now, the inquiry has moved to the next step. According to NHTSA's documentation (as a PDF), it examined its own database and worked with Ford to come up with a total of 3,609 complaints of the front lighting control module suddenly failing. When this happens, drivers lose the low-beam headlights, but the high-beams can be used by holding the stalk. Sometimes turning the switch off and on fixes the issue. Additionally, there are 15 allegations of crashes, and one reported shoulder injury. NHTSA's preliminary evaluations "evaluate the scope, frequency, and consequence of the alleged defect" and don't necessarily lead to a recall. NHTSA looked into this problem once before in 2008 and 2009 and decided that a recall wasn't necessary. Ford also extended the warranty on the front lighting control module for these vehicles. INVESTIGATION Subject : Loss of headlights Date Investigation Opened: AUG 10, 2015 Date Investigation Closed: Open NHTSA Action Number: PE15028 Component(s): EXTERIOR LIGHTING All Products Associated with this Investigation Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) FORD CROWN VICTORIA 2003-2005 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS 2003-2005 Details Manufacturer: Ford Motor Company SUMMARY: After receiving a defect petition (DP15002) concerning the loss of headlights and other exterior lighting in model year (MY) 2003-2005 Ford Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis vehicles, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) analyzed Vehicle Owner Questionnaire (VOQ) complaints received from consumers and identified a total of 605 reports (for all submission dates) alleging headlight failure. The complaints indicate failures of both low beam headlights typically while driving, a defect condition that was evaluated under a prior ODI investigation (PE08066). Most consumer VOQs indicate that the headlights failed suddenly and without warning leaving the driver with no forward lighting, however some report the headlights flickered or dimmed prior to turning off. In some cases drivers were able to turn the headlights back on after a period of time while others reported the headlights would not come back on at all.
