I have a very nice SAE Bronco for sale. It is one of only 3000 made, they came in only one color and fully loaded. There was only a couple of options, one was the 5.8 L engine which this truck has, and I have seen one that had a grey cloth interior instead of the standard leather interior. There were a lot of firsts with this model; 1st year for leather interior, 1st year for color matched fiberglass top, 1st year for color matched body side moldings, 1st year for color matched bumper inserts front and rear.
This truck spent it's whole life in Florida until I bought it approximately three years ago and brought it to Michigan. It has never been driven in the salt, stored in a heated pole barn in the winter months.
Exhaust: Shorty headers with Flow Masters and side exiting exhaust pipes.
This vehicle had 96,000 miles on it when I bought it and it now has only 98,124 miles.
Paint wise it is mostly original with repaint on hood and top due to sunburn. There is no rust underneath or in the body, it is as clean underneath as on the top.
The interior is excellent the rear seat is original with one very small flaw, the front seats have been recovered and look great. It just had a complete carpet set installed and looks great. Headliner has been replaced. All plastic door panels,side trim panels are in great shape.
The bed liner trim on the tailgate is just velcroed on to protect the tailgate paint from damage. I also have a cut down S10 bed liner that will fit in the back with the seat folded up.
This truck sat for several years before I bought it which caused some leaking issues . I replaced the oil sending unit, resealed the dipstick tube and replaced the valve cover gaskets. It also had a small leak at the transmission front pump seal. I added some Lucus transmission additive and it seems to be slowing down the leak, but I just don't drive it enough (less than 1000 miles a year) so it hasn't been driven enough to give the additive a chance to seal the leak.
All three moveable windows need new inner and outer felt seals (Dry rotted)

This truck comes with a lot of spare parts most of which are specific to the SAE model. There are enough parts to fill a pickup bed.
Extra dash board
Extra center console
Extra drivers seat (needs to be recovered)
Extra rear seat (needs to be recovered)
Extra rear side panel with interior light (Driver's side)
Extra rear side window trim
Extra rear glass with defroster grid
Extra rear window motor and arms
Extra front and rear floor mats with SAE logo
Extra interior door trim panels
Extra SAE badges inside and out
Extra color matched body side moldings
Extra rear bumper inserts color matched
Extra tail gate stainless steel trim panel with reflector

EPA says fuel economy test for hybrids is accurate

Mon, 26 Aug 2013

The EPA says it stands behind its fuel economy test for hybrid vehicles following controversy about the testing process after Ford C-Max Hybrid customers and automotive journalists alike struggled to achieve 47 miles per gallon, the advertised mpg number, Automotive News reports. Ford responded to the issue almost two weeks ago by claiming that a 1970s-era EPA general label rule was responsible for the inaccurate mileage numbers, rerating the C-Max Hybrid's mpg numbers and offering customers rebates. Ford later said it didn't overstate the C-Max Hybrid's fuel economy and that it was surprised by the low numbers.
Ford technically didn't do anything wrong because it was following the general label rule, but agency regulator Christopher Grundler says the automaker was exploiting a loophole when it came up with the hybrid C-Max numbers, and that the testing process remains accurate. The general label rule allows vehicles that use the same engine and transmission and are in the same weight class to share fuel economy numbers, but it doesn't take into account other factors such as aerodynamic efficiency, which affects hybrids more drastically than non-hybrid vehicles. Ford originally used the Fusion Hybrid economy figures for the C-Max Hybrid and claimed the engineers didn't realize that its aerodynamic efficiency would affect fuel economy as much as it did.

2015 Ford Mustang to offer solid-rear axle, sort of

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

One of the biggest knocks against the last Ford Mustang was its solid-rear axle. Not one to actively court criticism, Ford dutifully swapped out the old-fashioned rear end for something a bit more modern in the redesigned 2015 Mustang, adding an independent rear suspension across the board.
While an IRS Mustang is great news for those that value handling and ride comfort, there's one big group that it's bad news for - drag racers. See, a solid-rear axle is a big deal for drag racers, because not only is it more durable and cheaper, but it's better for the hard launches that can make or break a race.
To satiate this vocal demographic, Ford will sell a body-in-white version of the Stang, complete with a nine-inch rear axle, that will debut at the 2014 Performance Racing Industry show. The news came from gas2.org, which cited an unnamed employee of Ford Racing at this year's PRI show.
