You are looking at a 1969 Ford Bronco that was purchased new
at Smyth County Motors in Marion, VA.
According to the previous owner, this Bronco belonged to his
Grandfather, which owned this Ford dealership (Smyth County Motors). At one time this Bronco had Smyth County
Motors and the Ford/Mercury logo on both the driver and passenger doors. You can still see faint evidence of this on
both doors. This Bronco truly has 14K original miles. I have a copy of the
original title dated 1969, Ford owner card, and every Virginia state inspection
paper (with the mileage listed) from 1969-1993.
The last inspection sticker was applied in 1993, so it has been resting
for quite a while. As a result of being driven in a mountain community, this Bronco does have some rust. Rust is located in the leading edge of the floor boards, where the floorboards bend up towards the firewall. Other trouble areas include the front inner fenders where the metal overlaps behind the wheels wells and the rocker panels. The undercarriage (frame, front/rear end, springs, etc.) has surface rust and pitting, but absolutely no rust through anywhere other than the sheet metal mentioned above. The frame is solid. At some point (probably when new), the rear quarters were cut and urethane flares were fiberglassed in so that they looked like they were original. They must have painted these areas with lacquer. The lacquer has not stood up to time as good as the original enamel paint on the rest of the Bronco. The only other area that has been painted, besides the lower quarters, is the right rear corner of the top. It has been spotted in there for some reason or another. At some point someone installed hood pins and a very large bucking Bronco hood ornament which I removed. I left the hood pins but the two holes for the ornament are still there. Other customizations are the roof rack and spot light. Not sure if these are Ford accessories, but they look pretty decent regardless. The light on the spot light works but it is not swiveling like it is supposed to. ***MORE DETAILED PICTURES ARE AVAILABLE AT: http://www.autosportsinc.com/1969_Ford_Ford_Hickory_NC_212441294.veh PLEASE VIEW ALL PHOTOS AND ASK QUESTIONS PRIOR TO BIDDING. THANKS! The positives on this Bronco outweigh the negatives. The grille, hood, fenders, doors, upper
quarters, top, and tailgate are all without rust, AND are in above average
condition, AND possess the original paint. The original paint is not show
perfect but has plenty of life left in it. Other than the lower rear quarters,
the paint looks pretty dam good for a 1969.
The door jams and tailgate jams look excellent and have no rust. The doors
do not sag and close very well. All the
windows are original Carlites and are in great shape. The dash and dash pad are
original and are in great shape. All paint (both cordovan (orange) and white)
in the interior is original and is in great shape with the exception of the
floors. The original owner had placed
household carpet in the cargo area and it adhered to the floor in certain
places, taking the original paint with it when it was removed. Even the bench seat cover is original and is
in great shape. The steering wheel, horn
button ring, visors, wiper motor cover, and seat belts are original and are in
great shape. It has the original spare
tire/wheel and it has never been run on the road. The original wimbledon white bumpers have
been reinstalled. As a result of being stabled since 1993, this Bronco needed
some TLC to get it running. The
carburetor has been rebuilt. New plugs, plug wires, and points were installed.
The entire brake system has been replaced including master cylinder, wheel cylinders,
shoes, and even brake lines, both metal and rubber (front to back). Both rear
end fluids have been changed. The
transfer case fluid has been changed. The power steering fluid has been
changed. Heater hoses have been changed.
Engine oil has been changed.
Tires are approximately 50% and are nothing to brag about. It cranks, runs, and drives very well. The
driveline has no play. It feels tight on
the road. Mechanically this Bronco is ready to go. To sum it up, this Bronco is definitely not perfect, but it
has some very good qualities. It is very
presentable and a great driver as is. I
would love to keep it myself, but I am lacking garage space for more Broncos. Feel free to contact me, Justin Killian, at
autosports@charter.net or 828-308-7315 if you have questions. You are welcome to view this Bronco in person
if you choose. Please remember older
cars require more time, love, and money. Do not bid if you are unsure of what
you are purchasing. I would rather you
be pleasantly surprised rather than disappointed. FOR MORE PHOTOS VISIT THE FOLLOWING LINKS: ALSO... CHECK OUT OUR CLASSIC CAR COLLECTION AT:

Ford recalls 600,000 older-model sedans for braking issue
Fri, Dec 20 2019Ford is recalling 600,166 older-model Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles over an issue that could affect braking and increase the risk of a crash. The safety recall covers certain Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan and Lincoln MKZ sedans from the 2006 through 2010 model years that were built at Ford’s Hermosillo Assembly Plant in Mexico between Feb. 22, 2006, and July 15, 2009. Ford says a valve that is normally closed inside the hydraulic control unit may get stuck in the open position or be slow to close, which could make it harder to engage the brakes and increase risk of a crash. Ford says itÂ’s aware of 15 reports of accidents and two injuries possibly related to the issue. Dealers will inspect the hydraulic control unit for signs of the problem and replace it, if necessary. The dealers will pressure-flush the system with brake fluid and replace the reservoir cap with a new one. Ford is also issuing a small recall of 33 of its 2020 F-150 trucks in the U.S. and 51 in Canada over potentially damaged spare tires. It says the bead area on the tires may have been damaged when it was mounted onto the wheel assembly, leaving it vulnerable to corrosion, separation of the bead wire and ultimately a rapid loss of air pressure and detachment from the wheel. Dealers will replace the spare tire. Affected vehicles were built at the Dearborn Truck Plant from Nov. 10-21 of this year.
Meet the Greenest and Meanest vehicles of 2016
Wed, Jan 27 2016If you've been keeping track, you won't be surprised with the number one entry in this year's list of greenest cars from the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE). In fact, the top three spots on the 2016 list are all the same as they were in 2015. After that, things get interesting. For one thing, this is the first Greenest list that doesn't have any purely internal combustion engine powertrain on it. Hybrids, yes, but if you want to be one of the top 12 greenest cars this year, you'd better have some sort of electric angle. ACEEE says that the conventional, gas-powered Smart Fortwo and Chevrolet Spark just missed the cut. In a statement, ACEEE lead vehicle analyst Shruti Vaidyanathan said, "The 2016 scores are in, and plug-in electric vehicles are outpacing all other vehicle offerings in terms of environmental friendliness." Like last year, one of the noticeable vehicles missing from the green list is the Tesla Model S. One reason? ACEEE takes curb weight into account (lighter is better), and the Model S is a heavy beast. The ACEEE doesn't just look at the clean side of the ledger. It also puts out a "meanest" list. These are the vehicles that pollute the most, not only from their tailpipes, but also any pollution created during the entire manufacturing process, from mining the raw materials to the energy used to produce the vehicle at the factory. The entire list, from greenest to meanest, is done using a "cradle to grave" analysis. You can see how the ACEEE determines its rankings here, explore the entire greenest cars site here, or click through our galleries to see which vehicles are extra green (above) or extra mean (below) this year. 12: Mercedes-Benz GL550 4MATIC View 12 Photos More Electric Cars than Ever on Greenest Vehicles List Electric Vehicles Nab 9 out of Top 12 Spots in ACEEE's Environmental Vehicle Rankings Washington, DC: Despite a tumultuous year for the automotive industry, manufacturers have continued to offer exciting technology options for a growing vehicle market. Today at greenercars.org, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) released its 19th annual comprehensive environmental ratings for vehicles. The following vehicles comprise the Greenest List for 2016: Greenest Score 1. Mercedes-Benz Smart ForTwo Electric Drive Convertible / Coupe 63 2. Chevrolet Spark EV 63 3. Fiat 500E 62 4. Toyota Prius Eco 61 5. Volkswagen E-Golf 61 6. Nissan Leaf S / Leaf SV 61 7. Kia Soul Electric 59 8.
Hot sales have Detroit automakers shortening summer shutdowns
Tue, 08 Jul 2014Back in May, there was speculation that the Detroit Three automakers would maintain or perhaps even extend their traditional summer shutdowns, mostly due to a bitingly cold winter that saw below-freezing temperatures infiltrate the southernmost reaches of the US, putting a chill on auto sales. Now, though, the numbers are in, and thanks to some promising sales figures, it looks like some domestic line workers are going to be working clear through July, in some cases.
According to Automotive News, Ford has slashed its traditional two-week hiatus for factory workers in half at four of its plants, while both Chrysler and General Motors will keep factories running nonstop (two plants in Chrysler's case and a third of GM's factories).
This is, as we said, thanks to some positive numbers. Chief among those is the Seasonal Adjusted Annual Rate, which was at an eight-year high of 17 million units. Individual figures were less promising. GM, embroiled in its recall scandal, still saw a one-percent increase while Ford dropped six percent in year-over-year sales. Chrysler was the big winner, though, with a nine-percent jump in June.
