1970 Ford Bronco: Amazing survivor, Rust Free, 302 V8, Factory build sheet (the original) and a great story.
I am a Ford dealer that restores Broncos and Land Cruisers—I’m constantly on the hunt for either an all original restoration project or a resto-mod project. This Bronco is neither—I purchased it from a gentleman in Jacksonville, Fl., thinking it couldn’t be as nice as it looked in the pictures and would be a good project for me—I was wrong. He purchased it from the grandson of the original owner. I would love to know the full story of the original owner and how he came to own and preserve this 1970 Bronco. I have yet to be able to make contact with the grandson. But this is what I do know. The miles, at 33,648 are original, and that fact is obvious. There is no rust other than minor (very minor) surface rust on under-body components. This is the original color and much of the paint is original paint. This Bronco model had the bench seat (seating 3) and a bulkhead behind the seat (with spare tire and wheel attached) with a full bed behind that. I pulled out the spare for the photos. When I purchased the Bronco, the bed, the interior side-walls and rear inner-fenders were covered with a foam-backed carpet, which I removed, revealing a pristine, un-dented bed. The top appears to have never been removed. From what I was told, the owner was either a professional or amateur gemologist. He used the vehicle to engage in his hobby. I was also told this took place in Montana, Wyoming, or thereabouts. The owner knew how to protect his vehicle from rock and water damage—he strategically placed sheets of metal over the inner fenders, against the frame and anywhere else rocks, salt, etc could get to his precious Bronco. IT WORKED. I have left the metal in place so that the next owner can see it, but it is easily removed with a straight screwdriver. All I had to do to get this Bronco in top shape was to replace leaking axle seals, replace the brake shoes and replace the gas tanks (yes, it does have the dual tank option). The engine runs very well with no smoke, hot or cold. It rides and drives like it did when new. The clutch engages exactly the way it is supposed to and the column shifter is silky smooth. The dash, the seat (original vinyl), inside the glove box, the headliner, the floor mat, under the seat, under the hood---all like a time capsule. The only interior modifications are a small hole drilled in the center of the dash and a grab handle installed beside the glove box. There is an OEM trailer hitch installed on the rear bumper and was probably done so when the owner purchased it new (it uses the factory bumper bolt). If you want a Bronco to restore, don’t buy this one. To restore it would be to ruin it. If you want one to drive, enjoy, show in a car show and get thumbs up from every gray-hair you encounter—buy this Bronco. If you have any questions, feel free to call me at my dealership at 423-639-5151 and leave a message. I will call you back. Or, send your questions or inquiries to Lennie@gatewayfordmazda.com. |

More 2015 Ford Mustang pricing information leaks [UPDATE]
Tue, 20 May 2014The big news this morning was that the 2015 Ford Mustang would start at $24,425, including its destination pricing. The big news this afternoon is, well, bigger.
Mustang6G.com has come up with what it claims is pricing info for the entire Mustang line, rather than just the V6. That means we know all about the EcoBoost and GT prices now, which, when combined with the dealer order sheets we reported on last week, gives us our clearest look yet at how the Mustang can be outfitted (we're still a bit short on pricing info for some standalone options, like paint premiums and such).
The base EcoBoost starts at $25,995, while the GT rings up at $32,925.
Mustang driver proves wheels are overrated
Mon, 21 Apr 2014We don't need to tell you that there's something missing in the image above. What we do need to tell you is that this is not a picture of a parked car stranded on the highway. This is, rather, just one frame from video of that three-wheeled Mustang traveling down the highway at highway-appropriate speed.
We don't know where you'd have to be nor how badly you'd have to be there to go shooting down the freeway in a car with three wheels, but if the New Daily News is correct, that place is somewhere in Texas. The video's short, but you'll have plenty of time to shake your head at it by just scrolling down.
Ford reports $3B profit in Q4, $6.9B for the year
Tue, 28 Jan 2014Good news out of Dearborn today, as Ford announced $3 billion in profit for the last quarter of 2013, a 90-percent increase over the same period of 2012. Net income for all of last year, meanwhile, jumped to $7.2 billion from $5.7 billion in 2012, while pre-tax profits sat at a decade-topping $6.9 billion for all of 2013.
The results of the substantial profit increases are bigger profit-sharing checks for UAW employees. How big? A record $8,800 on average for 47,000 UAW workers, making 2013 the biggest year for profit sharing in Ford history. In total, $414 million will be paid as part of the profit-sharing scheme.
Now, it should be pointed out that a fair portion of Ford's Q4 profits were due to tax benefits, totaling $2.1 billion, according to Automotive News. Total profits would have also been higher, had there not been a significant recall on the Escape, as well as plant issues in South America.
