Here is my Ford Bronco that I must sell.  Cash only sale, no checks no money orders no paypal, cash only purchase.  

I have the two missing pieces of trim. I broke the tabs on them and have ordered new ones. They will be back on when you pick it up with factory style clips. No accidents for this truck, all the metal is original to it. Drove it from Arizona in 2013, never seen salt/snow, no rust ever.. Repainted in the factory original chamois metallic ppg paint 2 stage with clearcoat. I posted photos of it in shade - looks a deep metallic brown, in the sun a awesome metallic orangish tone. This is the factory original color it was originally painted. I dont remember them looking this good though and i never expected it to be like this...i expected doodoo brown metallic and fell for this color after seeing it as a serious favorite for another bronco when i can buy another or even bythis one back. And this is no hack paint job. All prepped right, sealer, primer, 4 base coats, 6 color coats, 2 clear. all ppg and by a professional restoration specialist in a $80k paint booth that usually paints duesenbergs and rolls royces..., not a paint and body collision shop busting out toyotas and minivans. no rust repair on it done.  It has not been wet sanded at buffed at all. This is how it left the booth. It is not flawless - but dang nice as you can see in the photos. It was done to last 20 years not peal and flake off in 2.  There are some dings in the hood from hail, i could not get them to show in the photos and some dings that I prefered not to be filled with bondo to cover them up. Its all metal here but i dont want to you to be surprised by anything though.  Rebuilt 351. Starts runs and drives good, no leaks or smoke. Edelbrock intake and Holly carb. Rebuilt c6 shifts fine and firm. manual 4x4 208 t-case & hubs, trailer special, 9" axle. Sorry no reciepts for the rebuilds. Poly front bushings, flow master exhaust.   Has Trailer Special package, ready to pull anything. restored 70s Detroit Vintage Wheels Western Wheels Cyclone II and brand new 31" kevlar lined goodyear duratracs. I restore these wheels for the trucks I preserve like this Bronco. I had not yet got to the interior. I had planned on replacing the regulator on the driver side - it is sticking, replacing the climate control unit, it seems to be not working right, redoing or replacing the front seats (not bad but not what i wanted), hooking up the front KC daylighters and the rear floods (the toggles were removed to re wire them all). The radio is in-op and a old pos anyway, and i was going to replace the door seals, they are pretty old and not the best sealing as with most old broncos. These are not anything that would inpead driving it home any distance. I drove it 2200 miles just as it is. It drives good - could use an alighment in time. Brakes good but the pedal is dropping low - back shoes or master is going out. The fronts are newer.  Thats all i can think of at the moment. Please ask any questions.  I have to relocate for work and cannot take it with me. Sux, its a awesome truck. have over 13k invested and I know I will never get near it back out and i never planned on selling it. But i am relocating for work and here it is. I would discount the final price and put the steel wheels with goodyear wranglers on back on it that were on it when i bought it. just plain ford steel wheels with 31" good goodyears on them if you are not a fan of these period correct turbines that would have been put on it when it was new.
2488902504 with any questions. 
Cash sale please. If you want to arrange to have it shipped, you need to send me a bank to bank money transfer, no paypal, no checks, no money orders, or UPS me the cash and have your driver pick it up. 

Auction ends on Tuesday at 7:50pm EST, its NO RESERVE...so dont forget and email me after bidding ends to buy it if the winning bidder does not go through with it. And please do not bid if you do not have the funds to pay for it within 7 days after the listing ends. 


On Apr-29-14 at 17:26:52 PDT, seller added the following information:

I will also install new stainless steel center caps on the wheels, I also have everything for a full tune up, rad hoses, filters, the driver window regulator to go with it.

Here's what it's like to drive the very first Ford Mustang cop car

Thu, Jan 29 2015

As we recently discovered, there's something different about driving a police car. That's true whether you're talking about a modern Dodge Charger Pursuit or, yes, the legendary Ford Mustang SSP. Former Autoblog staffer and current Road and Track web editor Zach Bowman discovered this when he shanghaied a 2015 Mustang GT and made the trip to Nashville, TN to drive the very first Mustang SSP police car. The two-tone, V8-powered prototype was delivered into the welcoming arms of the California Highway Patrol back in 1981 for evaluation. Bowman chatted up cop-car aficionado Mike Strinich, the prototype's current owner, and managed to score some seat time in the car, which provided a unique interesting contrast to the SSP's 435-horsepower junior. Head over to R&T for the complete read.

Ford going bonkers at SEMA with 57 showcars

Sat, 19 Oct 2013

Ford always shows up in force at the SEMA Show, but this year's tally of 57 custom-tuned cars, trucks and vans is more than we can ever recall the Blue Oval bringing. Ford will introduce 28 of its project vehicles in its "Dreamcase" ahead of next month's show. The first batch of eight you'll find here with the remaining vehicles trickling into public view over the next couple of weeks.
This first group of cars includes a Fiesta, four Fiesta ST hatchbacks and a trio of Mustang show cars styled and tuned to varying degrees all by different aftermarket companies. Tanner Foust, Nitto Tire, 3dCarbon and Ice Nine Group are some of the more familiar names affixed to these cars. Our favorite so far is the Hollywood Hot Rods Mustang convertible (shown above) with its removable aluminum top and methanol-injected, 750-horsepower 5.0-liter V8.
Scroll down for all the details on these Fiestas and Mustangs, and stay tuned for more info on Ford's SEMA line, which will include custom versions of the Focus ST, Fusion, Transit Connect, F-150 and Super Duty.

Ford builds USAF Thunderbirds Edition Mustang for charity

Tue, 02 Jul 2013

Each year since 2008, Ford has created a one-off Mustang to celebrate military aviation, and the cars have been auctioned off at the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Gathering of Eagles charity event to raise money to inspire the next generation of aviators. This year's charity car is the 2014 Ford Mustang GT US Air Force Thunderbirds Edition, which also helps celebrate 60 years of Thunderbirds air show excellence.
Of all the EAA charity cars, this Thunderbirds Edition is the most in depth. Painted to match the F-16 Tomcat fighter jets used by Thunderbirds, this Mustang also gets a widebody kit and 22-inch Forgiato wheels to go with the cockpit's Recaro bucket seats, rear-seat delete and modified navigation screen and gauge cluster. Even the Mustang's projector puddle lights have been changed to show an aircraft silhouette - rather than the Mustang's galloping horse logo - when the doors are open.
Themes for previous EAA charity cars include the Blue Angels, SR-71 Blackbird and the Red Tails as well as the F-22 Raptor-inspired AV8R and AV-X10 "Dearborn Doll" models. Scroll down for the press release for the 2014 Ford Mustang GT US Air Force Thunderbirds Edition, and be sure to check out our galleries for all six aviation-themed Mustangs.
