Clean And Solid Western Truck W/ V8 Power Steering And Gorgeous Paint & Chrome on 2040-cars
Zeeland, Michigan, United States
Offered for auction is a very clean and extremely solid western
classic Bronco. This sweet Bronco spent the majority of its life roaming the West
between San Diego and Seattle. This Bronco still retains all of its original sheet
metal and 302 V8 runs very strong. I
have owned several vintage Broncos and this is one of the sweetest! Clean uncut examples of vintage Broncos like this are getting more and more difficult to find and continue to be a solid investment. This 1970 Bronco is just that, a true investment quality vehicle. Engine: The original equipment engine has been completely rebuilt and has approximately 20K miles on it. I recently did a compression check and all 8 cylinders which have great compression (150-155 psi). The previous owner did install an aluminum four barrel intake with a new carburetor which has electric choke, so cold starts are not an issue. The engine does not smoke, burn or leak oil. It runs very strong and sounds great. Also a new fuel bump and spark plugs have been installed. Body: This Bronco is extremely solid! All the original sheet metal and panels are still in place and very straight! The driver side front floor has been patched at the seam as the floor angles up toward the firewall. The passenger floor is still the original and very solid. The rear bed area is very solid along with the rear quarter panels seams. The front door post and kick panels are in great condition. The driver and passenger door strikers are in perfect condition. The tailgate and doors are rock solid with no rust issues. The both rocker panels are super clean and show no signs of rust. The driver side rear quarter panel (just below the taillight) did receive a slight bump at one time. I have a receipt stating the repair from the previous owner. The base coat clean coat paint on the Bronco is very nice and only shows a couple minor stone chips. Frame / suspension / axles: The frame is extremely clean with no rust issues only very minor surface rust. The Bronco does have a very nice 3.5 inch suspension with Rancho shocks at all 4 corners. The rear axle is a 9 inch set with 3.50 gears and limited slip which is all very tight. The front axle is a Dana 30 also set with 3:50 gears and limited slip dif. this is also nice and tight. Transmission / Transfer-case: The transmission is the stock 72 Bronco 3 speed manual. The transfer-case is a stock Dana 20, which works great. The shifter moves in and out off all gears smoothly. The front lockout hubs have recently been serviced and function extremely well, the manual steering column shift effortlessly into all gears. Wheels / Tires: The aluminum rims are in very nice condition with no scratches or pitting and are mounted to a fantastic set of 235x76x15 mud terrain tires. The tires have less than 5000 miles on them. Steering / Brakes: The Bronco has a very nice factory power steering setup. The steering box and pump are extremely smooth and don’t leak any fluid. The tie rod ends and drag link are all nice and tight. The king pin system on the Dana 30 is in great condition very tight. The Bronco has recently received a complete brake job on the front axle. The rear brakes are in good condition and show 60% life remaining. This Bronco stops great and drives very smooth and straight. Electrical: All lights and turn signals work great! All the gauges are accurate and functional including the fuel gauges for both the front and rear tanks. The wiper, and emergency flasher systems work great! The factory heater works amazing! The pull cable for the heat control does pull a little hard. The blower motor and switch function like new. The Sony CD player and stereo works well and sounds great with the door mounted speakers. Interior / soft trim: Recently I installed a new black carpet kit complete with new aluminum tie down strips. The OEM Bronco seats have been redone with new covers. The seat belts have also been replaced for added safety. The door seals and window felting are in great condition. The front windshield and gasket has been replaced. The door locks are all functioning and locking with a key.

Ford announces free brake pad offer if customers stop by dealers
Mon, 04 Aug 2014These days, when you buy a new car, it's not unreasonable to expect a certain period of free maintenance to come along as well. Sometimes this is through the life of the warranty, in other cases a little less. But Ford Motor Company is going beyond those deals for at least one part of its cars. As of now, if you buy a set of Motorcraft brake pads for a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury model, you get free replacements for as long as you own the vehicle. The offer is good at Ford or Lincoln dealers and Quick Lane Tire & Auto Centers.
"We will replace the pads for as long as you own the vehicle," said Elizabeth Weigandt to Autoblog. She did clarify that the Motorcraft pads are generally for models from the '90s or newer. Also, to take advantage of this program, a person must return to the same dealer each time to get the free parts.
Of course, Ford isn't just handing out brake pads to anyone who walks by; there are certain stipulations. First, the components have to be worn down to less than three millimeters to be eligible, and the buyer still has to pay for the labor to install them. If the model is used as a fleet vehicle for commercial purposes like as a taxi or limousine, this offer also doesn't apply; the same thing for racecars. On the plus side, if you recently bought a set of pads from one of the participating locations, you're still in luck. The deal covers parts purchased as of July 1.
Feds Probe Power Steering In 938,000 Ford Midsize Cars
Mon, Oct 6 2014U.S. safety regulators are investigating complaints that the power-assisted steering can suddenly fail on three Ford midsize car models. The probe covers 938,000 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ cars from the 2010 through 2012 model years, as well as the 2010 and 2011 Mercury Milan. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says it has received 508 complaints alleging that the cars lost power-assisted steering, causing increased steering effort. Four complaints say the problem caused crashes, but no injuries were reported. The agency says in documents posted Monday on its website that in many cases, a warning message appeared as the failure happened. Restarting the car corrected the problem in some cases, but the problem returned in others. The agency says it will check the scope and frequency of a problem. It could seek a recall. Ford says it's cooperating with the probe. Shares of Ford Motor Co. rose 6 cents to $14.65 in morning trading Monday. Its shares are down 14 percent over the past year.

Mercury rises around sexy Cougar pack
Sat, May 30 2015With a slightly larger body and a more luxurious interior, the Mercury Cougar doesn't carry quite as much cachet among pony car enthusiasts as the venerable Ford Mustang. But don't try to make that argument around Cougar super-fan Mike Brown. Since starting his Cougar collecting in 1988, Brown has become an absolute expert on the model, and he claims to have owned 400 of the Mercury pony cars in that time. Ten of them are in his collection today, not to mention a heap of spare parts in the garage. Check out some of the rarer members of Brown's fleet and allow him to tell you about them in this interesting interview from Electric Federal.
