Have you noticed that these early Broncos are only increasing in value? The first generation of the early Bronco was built from 1966-1977, with a total of 225,585 produced. U13 Roadsters like this one were only built in '66, '67, and '68, with a total of only 5000 built over that 3-year production run. According to Bronco experts, there are less than 200 in existence today, and perhaps only 50 or so in restored every day driver condition. After 15 years together, I just learned that Ol' Blue is even more rare than I knew.  VIN indicates that Blue came off the line in September (second month of production) and the very rare ' EYEBROW ' GRILL & TAILGATE confirm that.   

'Ol Blue is the real deal. I am selling a TRUE U13 bronco built in 1966 and as a bonus you get the hard top and doors.   I REALLY hate to get rid of 'Ol Blue, but I need cash to further develop my evolutionary website . Feel free to check it out and preregister AdFor.US. We will be launching Globally later this year.   I don't have to sell Blue.  But If I don't sell, I will have to delay  AdFor.US  for a couple of months and work to earn the money to finish patenting and development.  

I purchased this truck in Georgia (no salt or snow) 15 years ago and have driven it across the country a couple of times. Blue is my daily driver and has been for nearly 6 months and 12 states.  After 8 years (mostly garaged in Nebraska, we drove up to Seattle, Washington (add 5 states).  We are on our way to Florida now, with a few quick stops.  Most of the work i've done to Blue is in the under carriage & externally. HOOKER HEADERS, with dual mufflers,  FRONT DISK BRAKES, Wild Horses 3.5 inch ROCK CRAWLER 11PACK LEAF SPRINGS, RANCHO 9000 five way ADJUSTABLE shocks all the way around. 23 GALLON STEEL FUEL TANK, matched Drop Pitman, Poly Urethane Bushings and Newish- 1yr-OPTIMA YELLOWTOP BATTERY (recharge even if 2VDC--Awesome!) I have also installed new upper and lower door rubbers. The rear driveshaft was custom reinforced by Atlanta Drive line. The front driveshaft is not sold with the truck as I lost it in one of my moves. I had a rubber undercoating sprayed on more than 10 years ago and it is still protecting very well.Less than 2k miles ago i added 2 brand new BF Goodrich A/Ts to the Hankooks (with 85% good tread)  on clean alloy rims. 

Original Floor pans and door jams are still about 96% there and can hold my 225lbs standing on them. I thought about patching the floor pan seams, but seeing them as they are is a testament to how well this 47 year old stallion is. Original Rocker and quarter panels are better than 99%. TRULY, THERE IS NO VISIBLE RUST ON THIS TRUCK!  I have parked this truck 3 times for more than a year and it's '69 Fairlane 302 V8 started right up. I have a double barrel Edelbrock carb on it, for fuel efficiency. In the last 6 months I have added or replaced:

65Kv H.E.I. distributor, 8mm wires & plugs 
New 3 core, Triple Flow aluminum radiator. 
Water Pump
Heavy Duty Clutch
Heavy Duty Dual Timing chain (Comp Cams) 
New calipers and pads 
New chrome power brake booster
New heater control valve
Upgraded (blade fused) wiring
Wiper Arms
Carpet

Also, I just had a new rust protective coating sprayed on the undercarriage, in engine compartment, in cargo area, inside hard-top, under hood and inside quarter panels. I have included some prep pictures to show how clean the oem metal really is underneath the 8y/o paintjob.
 
Ol' Blues' engine purrs like a lion. It was rebuilt just before I purchased and has been driven less than 15k since.  (Updated--  Installed new dual timing chain 08 February 2013-   [which means fresh engine paint, new oil, new coolant.]  Check out the pictures and video on facebook @ Bronco N Buck.) He's quick and nimble.  I JUST POSTED ON THE ROAD PICTURES on the fb page.  See for yourself what Blue can do!

This truck is 75% done. Only easy stuff left to do. What it needs- (optional) power steering ** complete kit on ebay right now for $600 ** , a/c, wheel spacers, new fender flares (or repair the ones that are included with truck) and Paint, ( note- after loading Blue down for the move to Florida, I noticed the drivers side rear spring and shock appear to be sagging and causing the tailgate to separate from the quarter panel and the back window is unable to latch because of this gap. The shock is under warranty.  I hope to have this resolved when I get to Omaha. I can only budget one repair/ upgrade at a time and this week I purchased windshield wipers to allow me to get through the mountain passes.)  

This IS a fantastic and rare investment. In ten years it will double in value.  It doesn't get better than this, put your tax return to good use.  EBR is becoming more and more popular.   We have 3 stops lined up en-route to Nebraska for potential buyers.  We are traveling on I-84 , I-680 through Yakima, southern Idaho, N. Utah, Wyoming, Denver,  I have had Blue listed on ebay for two weeks and we had over 6000 page views and 120 watchers in 14 days....  DON'T MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY!!!  I have had 7 best offers, 5 trade offers and Blue was even sold once at full asking price, but buyers finances fell short.   PLEASE HAVE YOUR FINANCES READY BEFORE YOU BID!! 

Extras that are included:
Doors, Steel Hard Top, Push Bar (original add-on), Rubber Cargo Mat, Dual CB Antenna's. Heavy duty Safari (cargo) roof rack and ladder. (500lbs), bikini top. I will also drop ship the original front seats and rear bench if I get my asking price.  (the driver seat leans, but all seats are otherwise in good condition), Foam headliner pad. 1965 FoMoCo radio

Thanks for looking!

Currently,  we just left Seattle this morning 4/15 and expect to be in Omaha, Nebraska  by the expiration of this listing.   I am willing to drive Blue ANYWHERE in the Continental United States for an extra $1k or less (depending on where).  

I recently started a facebook page for Blue and I, where you can see a couple of pictures and follow our moves.  Check it out and 'like' our page-- Bronco N Buck.    


Call Joel @ 402-210-9568 

(fyi)  I know people are trying to put the cash together for Blue, but you have to hurry.   If this listing goes much longer,  I will have more time by then to make and add videos and get much better photos.  I believe Blue to be worth at least $2k more than I have him listed for and when I find the time to get picture of Blue of a lift, videos, etc --- I WILL INCREASE THE PRICE.  Give me a call and let's see what we can work out. 

Jeep & Bronco people wave to each other when passing on the roadways...

2016 Green Truck of the Year, Commercial Green Car of the Year finalists

Sat, Oct 24 2015

Not only are commercial-grade haulers getting more green love lately, they're getting more different kinds of green love. The 2016 Green Truck of the Year, the second time the award has been handed out, is being decided by judges from Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show. This year the award is joined by the new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year, which crowns one of the little vans increasingly used by small business as cargo and delivery vehicles. The Green Truck of the Year finalists are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax (pictured), Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. The first three of those were on last year's list, but since they are completely new or upgraded for 2016 - Ford with its all-aluminum body, the General Motors twins with the new diesel Duramax engine - they qualify for entry again. The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel won last year. The Commercial Green Car finalists are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. You can read more details in the presser below, and the awards will be announced in San Antonio sometime during the show from November 19-22. San Antonio Auto & Truck Show Announces 2016 Green Truck of the Year and Commercial Green Car of the Year Finalists SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show have announced finalists for the 2016 Green Truck of the Year™ and 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ awards. The Green Truck of the Year™ nominees are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax, Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. Vying for the all-new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. "Over the past few decades, new car models have benefitted from design and technology improvements that have brought higher fuel efficiency and greater levels of environmental compatibility," said Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com Editor and Publisher Ron Cogan. "With models like these ten deserving finalists, we're witnessing the pickup and light commercial vehicle field enjoying the same attention." The new Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award is part of an expanded awards program presented at this year's 2015 San Antonio Auto & Truck Show.

TRANSLOGIC 147: CES 2014 Autonomous Vehicles

Wed, Jan 15 2014

We head back to CES in Las Vegas to check on the progress of autonomous vehicles in 2014. We go hands-free on the highway with Audi, narrowly avoid a collision with Ford and hear all about BMW's drifting driverless car. But first we take a ride on Induct's self-driving Navia shuttle.

2015 Ford Edge holds line on pricing, starts at $28,100*

Tue, 04 Nov 2014

The Ford Edge gets an updated platform, bolder styling and a standard 2.0-liter turbocharged EcoBoost engine pumping out 245 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque for the 2015 model year. You might expect that all those new features would result in a big price bump, but you'd be wrong. Ford is keeping costs identical to the 2014 model with a starting MSRP of $28,100 (*plus an $895 destination charge), according to Edmunds. Ford spokesperson William Mattiace confirmed the numbers to Autoblog.
That's a pretty good deal, but the real ticket here might be the model's Sport trim. Buyers get a 2.7-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 EcoBoost engine with over 300 horsepower and standard adaptive steering for $28,600 plus destination. That's just $500 more than the base model.
Pricing for the Titanium trim has not yet been announced, but it'll be a short wait to find out. Mattiace tells Autoblog that full pricing and the configuration for the model will launch on November 5. He has also confirmed that the 2015 Edge will begin hitting dealers in the first quarter of 2015.
