I'm selling my 1966 Ford Bronco.  I bought this from the original owner 4 years ago.  I have the original Virginia title that was issued in 1966 when the previous owner bought the truck, and a clear current title.  Also have the original owner's manual that was issued to the first buyer.  When I got the vehicle, the owner was 93 years old and not driving anymore, has since passed on.  He had the vehicle parked under a carport, and although its got some "cancer" in the quarters and floor, its in generally good condition, enough that it will pass state inspection to drive on the highway.  There are patch panels in the floor, and along the rockers, not well done but sufficient for inspection or driving.  The door posts are sound, as is the windshield frame, and the dash pad is near perfect.  170 six cylinder, three speed on the column, no radio, vacuum wipers.  The 4wd works just fine, and the exhaust has been replaced.  It has 4 new Goodyear Wrangler tires on it, they've got less than 500 miles on them.  The car runs and stops, heater works, wipers don't too well just like all vacuum wipers :-)  There's not much else to tell about this thing mechanically, they are pretty simple machines.  This 170 engine runs fine, although it does have an occasional wrist pin peck on #2 cylinder.  Been doing that for years, and if you're going to restore it, that isn't a big deal anyway, still runs just fine.  If you're wondering about the paint, the PO rolled that nice brown latex on it to match his boat :-)  The original color was red, which is peeking out in a few places where the latex has peeled off.  I'm not interested in trades, I have too many cars already, that's why I'm selling this one.  There's no warranty, none.  It runs, it stops, it needs to be properly restored.  Enough said.  I will deliver this car via rollback carrier to anywhere in the lower 48 states for $2.00 per mile, round trip.  You can fly in and drive it home, but I don't recommend it unless you have lots of gas money.  This has 4:11 gearing in the differentials, and at 50 MPH you're tach-ing about 4000 RPM's so its not very interstate friendly :-)  Email with questions, NO, I'm not taking more pics of anything so don't ask. Its a basic Bronco, and that's about the extent of it.  I prefer a paypal deposit of $1000 when the auction ends, and cash for the balance when you pick up the Bronco.  If you plan to use a cashiers check, it will have to be verified and cleared by my bank before you take the car, so DO NOT plan to show up with one and think you'll be driving it away, ain't gonna happen, just too much check fraud, sorry.  Cash is king.  If you mail a check, plan to pick up in about 15 days from that.  Happy bidding

Ford Explorer gets appearance pack for 2015

Sat, 14 Jun 2014

Remember when Ford launched the totally new Explorer in late 2010, and people were skeptical about how the now-crossover would fare, after ditching its traditional SUV roots? Well, we're several years in, and I think we can assuredly say that Ford made the right decision. Sales are better than ever (in fact, May was the current Explorer's best month yet), and the crossover is finding its way into the hands of a whole host of new Ford buyers.
A wholly refreshed Explorer is still forthcoming, but to keep its strong-selling crossover fresh, Ford is offering a host of improvements for the 2015 model year, including the attractive appearance package available on the XLT trim level, pictured above. Outside, the pack gets you goodies like 20-inch machined aluminum wheels, black bodyside cladding and roof rack rails. Contrasting Magnetic Metallic accents are found on the grille, mirror caps and liftgate appliqué, and there's an "Explorer" hood badge and body-colored door handles. Inside, there are new Miko suede inserts in the seats, and the package includes the automaker's Sync connectivity with MyFord Touch infotainment.
Elsewhere in the Explorer range, the Class III trailer tow pack is now standard on the Sport, base models get new 18-inch aluminum wheels, and there are three new colors on offer: Bronze Fire Metallic and Magnetic Metallic.

Ford issues six recalls covering 101,000 vehicles for multiple issues

Tue, 08 Jul 2014

Ford is announcing six separate recalls for a variety of issues affecting a dozen models and a total of 100,610 vehicles in North America. However, according to Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker, "None of them have caused accidents or injuries." Half of them cover fewer than 1,000 cars.
The largest recall covers 92,022 North American examples (about 83,250 in the US) of some models of the Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKS, Ford Interceptor, Flex and Lincoln MKT from the 2013 and 2014 model years; the 2012-2014 Edge and the 2014 Lincoln MKX. All of them have a potential issue with the halfshaft on the right side that might not be fully seated and could move outward over time. If it shifts too far, the models may no longer be able to drive, and the condition could also allow the vehicles to roll away, even when in Park. Dealers will inspect the shaft to make sure it's seated and will replace the part if necessary.
The next-largest recall covers 5,264 North American examples (4,867 in the US) of the Ford F59 Commercial Stripped Chassis from the 2011-2014 model years. It's possible that an electrical junction box can corrode in areas with salty roads and short circuit. The problem could potentially cause a fire. Dealers will replace the box with an improved design.

How Ford made its 2015 Ford Mustang safer for toupee wearers [w/video]

Fri, 28 Feb 2014

Ford is ready to tell the story of its 2015 Mustang Convertible, the can't-miss bits being the easier, quicker and quieter roof operation, a more robust roof build for a coupe-like cabin noise, more trunk space, better visibility and reduced in-cabin buffeting. The top release system has been completely redesigned with a single, center-mounted latch on the windshield frame instead of the dual latches of before. The driver can now release the roof without having to lean over into the passenger space, after which the top goes down fully automatically with the press of a button. Ford doesn't say how long it takes to stow, but it's apparently done in half as much time as before, so figure around 8 seconds.
The roof uses a five-bow structure, with the fabric outer and full inner headliner sandwiching ten millimeters of insulation. Detailing work on the top has eliminated "unsightly folds" in the corners when the roof is up and made it more compact when down; its Z-fold assembly is 6.7 inches lower than before at its highest point when put down. Ford says the new electric drive internals make less noise when in operation, and the fully-finished droptop look is achieved with snap-in caps that flank the rear seating and stow in the trunk when not in use (the outgoing Mustang's top was higher and the front when folded and always looked like it was catching air and creating drag).
The compact roof and newly independent rear suspension setup in back means liberated trunk space, 11.4 cubic feet ready to swallow golf bags and tourist swag. You can read a lot more about it in the press release below, check it out in the short video of running footage and learn about the aerodynamic improvements made to the entire Mustang lineup that decrease drag and increase fuel economy.
