FOR SALE to the highest bidder - my 1971 Ford Bronco.
It has a clear title and current Calif. reg. through April 2014. Winning bidder is responsible for pick up or shipping arrangements.
It has a freshly rebuilt 302 V8 motor less than 250 miles ago.
New pistons ( engine block bored .030+) and rings, cam, cam bearings, lifters, timing set, rod and main bearings -( crank machined - .010 and .010.) , new freeze plugs, valve guides, valve job done, all new seals and gaskets, oil pump, oil and temperature sending units, thermostat, water pump, radiator rodded and boiled with pressure test, new heater core, radiator and heater hoses, new coolant recovery system, new belts, rebuilt starter and alternator, 2 barrel carburetor rebuilt with electric automatic choke added, new fuel pump, fuel filter with all fuel lines and tank filler hoses replaced, new air cleaner, PCV valve, coil, spark plugs, spark plug wires, MSD electronic ignition distributor. New clutch assembly. New front and rear drum brakes, new shocks front and rear and a new steering stabilizer. New Painless Wiring kit, specific for Ford Bronco. Virtually the entire wiring system has been replaced including the wiring loom in the steering column. The sending units in the gas tanks tested within normal limits, so I didn't replace them, both work and switch on the dash with the manual tank switch at the base of the front driver's seat. All fluids were drained and replaced and all zerks and bearings were packed or lubed. The previous owner had replaced the 3 speed transmission with a 4 speed NP435, it shifts great. Transfercase is a Dana C20, front differential is a Dana 44 with warn hubs and rear end is a Ford 9 inch. Drivelines and Ujoints are good, no vibrations and feel tight. The truck has dual exhaust glass pack mufflers, tires are BF Goodrich and are fair. Paint is ok for a 42 year old vehicle with what appears to be one re-paint, it used to be green. It does have chips, scratches, faded spots etc... some call it "Patina". I have a brand new complete weatherstrip kit for the doors and top,( from Tom's Bronco Parts), that will be included with the sale. I replaced both driver and front passenger seat foam rubber cushions and installed new upholstery kits, the rear seat looked ok. I installed new door latches, window cranks and rear hatch struts plus many, many other little repairs and fixes. It doesn't have a radio, but the Painless kit wiring is all there, very well marked and ready to go. The dash had been cut for a stereo at one time, so I covered the hole. The only thing that isn't hooked up is the horn button, as I didn't have all the necessary hardware for it. This is a very sound rust free body, no rust out anywhere, just a few surface rust areas in the floor boards that I could see. Someone layed fiberglass mesh on the front floor boards, it could be replaced or redone, maybe Herculiner or something like that. Please see the pictures showing the inside and also the under carriage. This little truck is really fun to drive and gets looks and comments wherever I go. Ready for camping, beach , hunting, you name it.
If you have any questions please email through ebay and I'll try to answer as soon as possible. Thanks for looking. Vehicle is sold AS- IS.

The electronic ignition distributor is a Mallory and not MSD. Also, it will have a few more miles on it by the auction's end, as I am driving it. Thanks for looking.

2015 Ford Focus sedan shows its fresh face in New York
Wed, 16 Apr 2014That handsome fellow you see above is the 2015 Ford Focus sedan. We liked the looks of the 2014 Focus, and the updates for 2015 only improve things to our eyes, with the adoption of the Aston Martin-inspired grille that has been permeating Ford's lineup these last few years. Sweeping, slightly bulbous headlamps join a revised, more demure lower grille opening to round out the styling updates up front. The rest of the car's look is just slightly massaged, including new taillamp clusters that look much like they did last year.
New for 2015 is the availability of Ford's 1.0-liter three-cylinder EcoBoost engine, mated exclusively to a six-speed manual transmission. There's also a new SE Sport Package that adds more aggressive suspension tuning, paddle shifters (when equipped with Ford's six-speed dual-clutch automatic) and a few body kit bits and pieces. Rounding out the mechanical changes are an updated electronic steering rack that promises better feel, suspension tweaks to make the ride more comfortable and some software updates designed to make the dual-clutch gearbox better behave itself.
In addition, inside there are a few interior upgrades, as well as some added comfort and safety tech that includes available blind-spot detection and lane-keeping assist, along with other more incremental changes that all add up to a better vehicle. We suggest you check out the official press release below for all the details, but not before scrolling through our image gallery of live shots above.
Hertz goes Dutch with Ford Focus ST-H
Wed, 23 Oct 2013Want to take a performance car for a ride? Hertz can make that happen. Spin by your local rental location (depending, of course, on availability) and you can take out a Dodge Challenger, Ford Mustang, Chevy Camaro, even a Corvette as part of the Adrenaline Collection. Hertz's Dream Cars lineup even includes Porsches and AMGs. But the really interesting stuff is what you can't get anywhere else: cars built specifically for Hertz.
Back in 1966, Hertz had Ford cook up a special run of Mustang GT350H models in back with gold stripes. It became an icon in and of itself, and in 2008 Hertz had a new batch of Shelby GT-Hs made. Earlier this year, Hertz contracted Penske to deliver another fleet of specially-built Mustangs you can rent. But if your travel plans include a trip to the Netherlands, Hertz has a completely different type of specially-prepared Ford on offer for you.
Back in August, Ford delivered a couple of Focus STs made specifically for Hertz in Holland. Now it's expanded that fleet even further. The Ford Focus ST-H features the same 252-horsepower 2.0-liter turbo four (and everything else) as the standard Focus ST, but gets that signature black exterior with gold stripes and a black leather interior with Recaro buckets. So in case a trip to Amsterdam doesn't hold enough thrills, now you can throw a hot hatch into the mix as well. Scope out the press release (in Dutch - isn't that weird?) below.
1964 Ford GT40 prototype to be auctioned in April
Wed, 12 Mar 2014The Ford GT40 owns a firm spot on the list of the greatest American racecars ever made, being the first car from the United States to take an overall win in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. And now Mecum will auction what it claims is second-oldest GT40 still in existence at its Houston sale on April 12.
The story of the GT40 is fascinating. Henry Ford II attempted to buy Ferrari in the early '60s, but Enzo refused. Ford decided if he couldn't have them, then he would beat the Prancing Horse on the track. Ford went to Carroll Shelby and asked him to spearhead the program. The early cars combined a steel monocoque chassis with Ford's 4.2-liter V8 engine pumping out around 350 horsepower. The first prototype made its public debuted on April 1, 1964, at the New York Auto Show.
Shelby kept building prototypes, including GT/104, which is for sale here. This version featured a lighter steel chassis and was raced at Le Mans in 1964. However, a fire forced it to retire. It was then repainted and had a 4.7-liter (289-cubic-inch) engine fitted. The chassis had its best finish at the 1965 Daytona Continental 2,000 Kilometers where it finished third with Bob Bondurant and Ritchie Ginther behind the wheel. Later that season, it was shipped back to Ford where it was restored and displayed at auto shows until 1971 when the automaker sold it. Since then, it has had many private owners.
