ORIGINAL NOSTALGIC 1974 BRONCO BAJA SAND RACER! FIBERGLASS FRONT FENDERS & HOOD BARN FIND ONLY 2 OWNERS!! UNRESTORED OK here's the deal, just purchased 3 broncos and a 1971 F-250 Highboy from an older man cleaning out his barn..Literally!! This is a really cool truck that has really neat history and only 2 owners it's entire life, the man I purchased it from has owned it since 2007. It has had a ton of mechanical work down to it that I will list below. We do have receipts for some of the work and they will be included with the truck. It does not have a top, besides a bikini, or a back seat. That being said, it starts, runs, and drives down the highway at 65 just fine ( I just drove the truck about 15 miles in 5 degree weather). This is a great truck to either enjoy on the beach or start a full blown restoration with a great tub, virtually rust free frame, and one heck of a drive train with less that 500 miles on everything!! *1968 302" V8 block bored to a 306" with matching heads that have been ported & polished, with 1.94/1.60 valves, hardened seats for unleaded fuel. *Summit, Melling solid lifter cam, Duration 280/290, Lift .448/.472 *roller rockers *Weiand X-cellerator intake *Wild Horses chrome headers *balanced/blueprinted with SRP 10.5:1 pistons *Heavy duty rods with ARP bolts *high flow water pump and thermostat, electric fan, 4 core radiator, Saginaw power steering pump, extreme duty motor mounts, complete MSD ignition, and distributor, with MSD 6AL red box, Holley 650 double pumper, and to finish it off Flowmaster series 40 mufflers and 3" exhaust!! SOUNDS LIKE A NASCAR ENGINE BUT VERY STREETABLE COMBINATION!!! The transmission is a stock 3 speed, that has been fully rebuilt with a center force stage II clutch, heavy duty clutch rod and scattershield, and a Hurst Competition Plus shifter. Transfer case is a J-shift style which was also rebuilt this year, new heavy duty drive shafts and shaft loops installed. Front Dana 44 has power disc brakes, heavy duty axle shafts, newer Spicer ball joints, wheel bearings, seals, Warn lock-outs and 4.88 Yukon gears with a spool. Rear axle is a Ford 9", 31 spline extreme duty axles, new drum brakes, 4.88 Yukon gears and a full spool. Suspension is a Wild Horses 4.5" with front coils, and 3 shocks on each front, steering stabilizer, drop pitman arm, new leaf springs in rear with NO blocks. 35x14.50x15 super swamper boggers over half tread on 10" wide aluminum round hole wheels. The body is in fairly good shape, paint from 1983, front fenders and hood are fiberglass, only rust is behind the passenger rear wheel well and is pictured. The frame is in very good condition. Front original seats are there, triple gauges work, gas gauge and speedo work. Full cage is bolted not welded. Both fuel tanks are in the truck and in working order. This baby will make a great toy as it sits, or a great start for a full restoration since the chassis is all done and mechanically it's stellar!! Call with any questions, 573-680-3097. We hardly have any eBay auctions last the full 7 days so call to reserve it today!! |

NHTSA upgrades Ford floor mat unintended acceleration probe
Mon, 17 Dec 2012According to a Bloomberg report, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has upgraded an investigation into complaints of unintended acceleration lodged against Ford vehicles. The investigation began in June of 2010 when just three complaints had been received and it only concerned the Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan, but this was at a time when the phrase "unintended acceleration" made grown men go pale. With 49 additional complaints received since then, the investigation has been reclassified as an engineering analysis - the last phase before a recall - and it has been expanded to include the Lincoln MKZ, making for a total of "around 480,000" units affected between the three sedans from the 2008 to 2010 model years.
The ostensible cause is that floor mats are trapping the accelerator pedal, but according to a Ford statement at the time, the entrapment is due to owners placing the optional all-weather floor mats, or aftermarket floor mats, on top of the car's standard floor mats. NHTSA has backed up that assessment, pinning the blame on "unsecured or double stacked floor mats."
On the face of it, it would appear that NHTSA has upgraded the status not because of Ford's error, but owner error, and Ford has stated publicly that it is "disappointed" in NHTSA's move. On top of NHTSA still being skittish after that other unintended acceleration debacle, it could be seen to be taking its time investigating all of the variables: it's reported that Ford changed its accelerator pedal design in 2010, a "heel blocker" in the floorpan has been considered a potential culprit in how the floor mats could be trapping the pedal, some drivers have said the floor mats weren't anywhere near the pedal, and according to a report in the LA Times, in "a letter sent by Ford to NHTSA in August 2010, the automaker said it found three injuries and one fatality that 'may have resulted from the alleged defect.'"
Watch live as Mark Fields is officially named Ford's next CEO
Thu, 01 May 2014We've heard rumblings of a changing of the guard at Ford, and this live stream from The Blue Oval itself is set to confirm the rumors: Alan Mulally will be succeeded by the automaker's current Chief Operating Officer, Mark Fields.
Mulally, who is 68 years old, has served at the head of Ford for eight years, and his official retirement date will be July 1st, 2014. Fields, who is 53 this year, has been with Ford for 25 years and has been groomed to take the helm from Mulally for the last several of those years.
There's an official press release that you can read, but if you're more of a visual person, you're welcome to watch the live video feed of the announcement down below.
Ford GT to be revived, Le Mans battle upcoming
Sun, 05 Oct 2014Ford dominated the 24 Hours of Le Mans from 1966 to 1969, scoring four consecutive wins. Wouldn't it be great if the Blue Oval could go back to France for the 50th anniversary of that performance and show it can still compete in international endurance racing? Actually, the latest rumors indicate that could be exactly the case, and the car taking that checkered flag could be another revival of the Ford GT.
As the rumblings go, Ford wants to use a new supercar to take another crack at Le Mans, after considering some other possible alternatives. Substantiating these musings are reports that a Blue Oval rep was reportedly on hand for a recent meeting about 2016 GTE-Class rules, according to Road and Track. That would put the new GT in the same racing class as the Corvette, Ferrari 458 Italia, Porsche 911 and others.
It's not all about racing, though. If you win on Sunday, you want something to be able to sell on Monday. The revived GT is reportedly still a mid-engine supercar, but the exact engine is unclear. It's possible that it could even be shown or announced at the Detroit auto show in January, according to Motor Trend.
