1971 Ford Bronco--Restored-- Equipped with Power Disk Brakes, Power Steering, Upgraded (4) Speed Manual Transmission, Hard Doors and Hard Top. We built this Bronco almost to the T as the last one we sold, due to the overwhelming response. This Bronco was taken down and built from the ground up. We spared no expense and built this Bronco to last. The 302 motor was completely rebuilt and bored .30 over, with picture documentation. It has all new pistons, bearings, seals, gaskets, oil pump, fuel pump, water pump, alternator, thermostat, custom aluminum hoses, radiator fan, aluminum radiator, new Edelbrock chrome intake, Edelbrock 4 barrell chrome carburetor, chrome brake booster and master cylinder, new overflow and the list goes on. The engine compartment was base coated and clear coated with the engine out with PPG paint and the underside of the Bronco was sprayed with a undercoating for preservation. The Transmission while it was out was completely gone through checked out and reassembled with new gaskets, synchronizers, bearings, and fluid. We had a brand new exhaust system installed with 40 Series FlowMaster exhaust by a local muffler shop. Both axles were completely taken out, taken apart, sandblasted down, treated with Ospho, primed, and painted with high end paint. While the front axle was apart we replaced seals, bushings, fluid, drag arm bushings and new brake pads and calipers. The rear axle has new seals, brake shoes and fluid. We ran all new brake lines with proportioning valve over the whole truck. We also replaced the front and rear drive shaft u-joints. The frame of the truck was sanded down with 100 grit, 220 grit and then finished with 320 grit sandpaper before we sparyed it with a 3M Under Paint for preservation. We installed all new body bushings bolts, lock washers and nuts. It has a brand new 5 1/2 inch suspension lift with all new powder coated parts and Grade 8 bolts. Brand new shocks, steering stabilizer and boots. We had the radius arms sandblasted down then powder coated Bahama Blue and reinstalled with all new c-busings and radius bushings. We ordered new pre-runner bumpers, we had them powder coated and installed with new KC lights. We installed Brand New BF Goodrich 35x12.50x15 tires sitting on brand new 15x10 Ion Alloy Wheels that were static balanced with only inner weights installed. The inside of the Bronco was sanded down any metal that needed to be replaced was replaced, then it was sprayed with Ospho then Rhino Lined for preservation and durability. The front and rear seats are original Bronco seats that we had re-cushioned and re-upholstered by a local custom upholstery shop. We also had them recover the dash pad with a high end very durable leather that just stands out and looks phenomenal. The dash was completely taken apart and painted Wimbledon White out of the vehicle then re-installed. We do not tape the dash off and paint it as the finish product is half baked and unprofessional. We installed a new aftermarket RPM, oil pressure, voltage and temperature gauges as the old ones tend to not be as reliable. All the gauges are back lit blue at night. We removed the old broken original steering wheel and installed a new Grant chrome and black steering wheel. The doors were taken apart and the panels were painted Wimbledon White and doors put together with all new door handles inside and out, new armrest, new mirrors, new door cups, new door hinges and bolts. Stainless and grade 8 bolts were used wherever possible. All new complete weather seals were installed around the doors and inside the door window tracks and under the hard top. We also had the front windshield and gasket replaced. The outside of the truck was completely sanded down to bare metal, any and all rust was treated and fixed. We then primed the body and re-seam sealed all the seams on the truck and completely smoothed out body to above original factory standards and then painted it Bahama Blue using PPG paint. Then the body was wet sanded from 1,000 grit to 2,000 grit then to 3,000 grit sandpaper then high speed buffed and polished to a beautiful finish. Their were (4) coats of clear coat put on this truck. The hard top was taken off sanded down prepped and treated for any rust, and painted Wimbledon White using PPG paint and wet sanded out to 2,000 grit sandpaper and then high speed buffed. All paint was allowed to fully cure before the next step was done so we could get the best and long lasting paint job possible. This truck was very meticulously taken down and put back together properly. Their are many more parts that were put on and more things that were done to this bronco that I can not put them all in the listing. We have pictures of this bronco taken down and put back together so you will see that we are not claiming anything that has not been done to this truck. We will put a few pictures in the listing but can send more upon request. We build these Broncos as a personal hobby and enjoy doing them. We try to offer a top notch truck that is turn key ready to go with nothing that you will have to do to it but enjoy it. We have more Broncos coming up, the next one should be in about two weeks. If you have any questions or would like a custom build just shoot me a email with your number and I will call you and see what we can work out. We welcome anybody, inspector or inspection company to come look at this Bronco before the auction ends as you will see just how much has been put into this Bronco. This Bronco is offered AS-IS and a nonrefundable deposit of $1,000 due within 24 hrs of auction end. Look at my feedback and how long I have been on Ebay and bid with confidence. If you have been looking for a mint condition Bronco this is the one for you. All realistic offers will be considered, but this bronco is priced right for the quality of the build. If you have any question do not hesitate to ask.
On Jun-27-13 at 09:55:17 PDT, seller added the following information:Sorry it has been brought to my attention that there are no pics of VIN plate in glove box, backseat, or hardtop. I will try to add another picture. VIN plate is in glove box and matches the title. Backseat is original and recovered to match the front seats. Hardtop has been restored inside and out with new gaskets and lift gate prop rods.

Consumer Reports: Ford Fusion fun but flawed; Mitsubishi i-MiEV slow, chintzy [w/videos]
Wed, 23 Jan 2013Waiting for a Ford compliment from Consumer Reports these days is like waiting for a low-cost new product from Apple. So we weren't really expecting a glowing review of the 2013 Ford Fusion when CR got its hands on the car. The institute's crew bought three different versions of the Fusion (Hybrid, 1.6-liter EcoBoost and a Titanium with the 2.0-liter EcoBoost) to put through its barrage of tests, and while we aren't too surprised by some of the findings, they're still interesting nonetheless.
CR praises the Fusion for its "eye-catching" design and says that the sportier Titanium trim level is the best-handling midsize sedan they've ever tested, but that's about where the good news ends for Ford. The Fusion Hybrid also posted the best-ever fuel economy CR has recorded in a midsize sedan, but the only problem is that their number was 39 miles per gallon combined - far less than Ford's 47 mpg rating for city, highway and combined. As expected, CR also dinged the Fusion for its MyFord Touch, but some of the other gripes about the car include a cramped cabin and poor fit and finish.
Other Ford products tested this time around include the Focus Electric and C-Max Hybrid. Like the Fusion, CR's observed fuel economy of 37 mpg for the C-Max fell well short of Ford's advertised 47-mpg rating, and both cars were criticized for the use of MyFord Touch. CR notes that the Focus Electric's interior is also cramped, with the battery pack taking up a lot of cargo space.
Recharge Wrap-Up: Tesla, CarCharging and the EPA
Sat, Aug 23 2014Credit Suisse analysts are bullish on Tesla. The group gives the electric car company's stock an "outperform" rating with a target price of $325. For its continued success, Credit Suisse cites the vehicles' superior technology, in turn offering more torque, roominess and reliability. Says analyst Dan Galves said of Tesla's competition with ICEs, "If Tesla can get to cost-parity with Internal Combustion vehicles and still offer $1,400 to $2,500 per year fuel savings to the consumer, it won't be a fair fight." Read more at Yahoo Finance or at Business Insider. In other Tesla news, Tesla Model S owners will be able to unlock and start their car using an iPhone. The Tesla app is adding this functionality soon, perhaps with the update to iOS 8. It's not yet clear how this function will work, but it's one more innovative convenience feature that Model S owners can enjoy. That means drivers will have less to carry in their pockets or purses when they go for a drive. Read more at 9 to 5 Mac. CarCharging Group has remotely lowered the amperage on some of its residential users' Blink charging stations to 24 amps. This will slow down the charging time for affected customers with 6.6-kilowatt charging by about 15 percent. The company cited safety reasons for the move, with concerns about overheating. The amperage reduction is temporary, until CarCharging is able to provide replacement parts for the chargers. Some are concerned about the delayed action, as well as the fact that the reduction was handled without owner permission. Read more at Plugin Cars. Ford is halting test drives and sales of certain C-Max hybrid and Focus models due to a safety concern. Cars made during a single week this month at a Michigan factory may not have enough ball bearings in the steering gear assembly, which could lead to loss of control. None of the affected cars have been sold, Ford says, and about 50 units are currently at dealerships. Just over 600 will need to be recalled. Dealerships have been notified of the problem. Read more at Reuters and the The Detroit News. A new EPA report shows that urban air in the US is becoming less toxic since the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. The report shows a 66-percent reduction in benzene, almost 60 percent reduction in mercury from man-made sources, 84 percent less lead and more.
Ford C-Max sales hold steady despite fuel economy fracas
Mon, 09 Sep 2013Despite the ballyhoo that accompanied Ford's lowering of the C-Max fuel economy figures, the Blue Oval is still seeing strong demand for the five-seat MPV, as Automotive News reports. Speaking to marketing boss Jim Farley, AN says that the controversy surrounding the C-Max's fuel economy figures won't force Ford to change its marketing strategy.
Ford lowered the fuel economy rating of the C-Max after public outcry and legal action by customers that were unable to reach the 47 miles per gallon promised by the window sticker. The new ratings were dropped about a month ago to 45 mpg on the freeway and 40 mpg in the city. Ford offered rebates for current C-Max owners, with $550 going to those that bought their car and $325 to lessees. The issue, says Ford, stemmed from testing standards that allowed the automaker to base the C-Max's fuel economy on the Fusion Hybrid, because they use identical powertrains. The C-Max's less aerodynamic shape wasn't taken into account, though.
Whether Ford's PR team handled the crises perfectly or people just aren't that bothered by a four-mpg drop in combined ratings, demand remains strong for the C-Max among consumers. Ford moved 3,000 units in August, which was a 12-percent jump over July sales. Meanwhile, consumer demand through third-party shopping websites remains strong as well, according to Autometrics, a data analysis company that spoke with Automotive News. While the long-term effects of the adjustments remain unknown, the C-Max appears to have fared well in the near term.
