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.

Reborn Ford Escort could make its way to Europe

Fri, 26 Apr 2013

The Ford Escort concept just unveiled at the Shanghai Motor Show was created with the Chinese market in mind, but it's got people talking all over the world. Not purely fancy, the point of the Escort concept was to give Chinese buyers a preview of what they could expect to see in a Ford showroom in the near future. If Ford wasn't seriously considering the new Escort for other countries, a report in Auto Express indicates that the concept's reception has changed all that.
No less than the incoming chairman of Ford UK said "it could work in other places," bolstering the comments of "a senior Ford insider" who said the question of bringing the car to Europe to slot in underneath the Focus had been raised. That's a long way from anything of the kind happening, which would require Ford to figure out how to sell it for the right price and not torpedo the company reputation among Euro buyers. In any case, we'd be as intrigued as anyone if an Escort resurrection created the next 'who knew?' market segment of few-frills transportation offered by non-Asian carmakers.

The U-2 spy plane needs high-performance cars to help land

Thu, Oct 15 2015

Typically, aircraft deploy their landing gear from three main points. Most military aircraft, for example, deploy two gears at the back and one forward, like a tricycle. Some civilian aircraft flip the layout, with two in front and one in back - tail-draggers. The U-2 Dragon Lady is wildly different than any of these. With a 103-foot wingspan but a body that's just 63-feet long, the layout of the U-2 makes a traditional landing setup infeasible. Instead, the U-2 utilizes a pair of wheels, one up front and one in back. With such a bizarre layout, landings are so tough that since the U-2's earliest flights at Area 51, the US Air Force has used high-performance chase cars to guide the pilot down safely. The landing process isn't over there, though. As this video from Sploid shows, balancing out the aircraft to fit the detachable "pogos" – think training wheels for spy planes – is a comical procedure requiring a number of airman using their full body weight to even out the U-2. This video also recaps some of the great vehicles that have served as chase vehicles for this legendary spy plane. They include Chevrolet El Caminos, and the Fox-body Ford Mustangs so favored by the California Highway Patrol. For the last several years, the USAF has utilized products from General Motors, using fourth-generation Chevy Camaros, before switching over to the Pontiac GTO and most recently, the awesome Pontiac G8. It's fair to say that if you're a gearhead in the Air Force, this is the job you want. Check out the video, embedded up top.
