1973 Bronco with a Harley Davidson theme....
This Bronco has just had a facelift within the past year. As you can see, it is a rust free solid Bronco that I purchased from its second owner who had the Bronco in Texas for over 25 years. He bought it from his neighbor, the original owner, who sold it when he needed some money in the early '80's. The Bronco had only 24K on this original motor when I purchased it from the second owner.
Being an avid biker myself, I changed the theme of this fun truck to please the Harley Davidson side of me. I have retuned and conducted a facelift on this truck to please most that see it. It is really sharp and runs like a champ. This engine is the original 302 cubic inch motor with a little over 26K on it now. It has loads of power! I have only maintained it and cleaned it up with new points, plugs and wires, new valve covers, and changed out the 2bbl to a 4bbl carburetor, and new air cleaner. It starts like a jewel without problems and has absolutely no leaks anywhere underneath it. I can't tell you enough how fun it is to take the top off and drive this powerful little truck! It steers on a dime with power steering that is very reactive.
I have the swing lever mount (painted up) for back spare tire to use as originally designed. New power brake system (works great).
One year old paint job (3 part DuPont system with two final coats on it)
HD logo seats with Marine/Boat grade material for no worries weather conditions.
36 inch tires with aluminum polished wheels and new fender flares on the body
New roll bar for the off-roading look and feel
Turned out duel exhaust for great sound and rumble
2 and 1/2 inch lift kit for more 4x4 clearance
New professionally installed Marine grade CD/Radio with IPOD capabilities of programming
Also, three Marine grade box speakers for no worry weather conditions.
New one year old vinyl canopy sport top cover for nice weather driving like a jeep that will keep the direct sun off you and the passenger
I hate to get rid of it and really am truly sad that I am selling it, but have way too many toys now and need to sell a few off to please my wife.
I will be happy to answer questions to only serious bidders. You can contact me at 217-325-3210 or on my cell @ 618-593-5129
Buyer will be responsible for pick up or delivery within a week of final sale. Seller reserves the right to end auction early as the vehicle is also for sale locally.

J Mays retiring from Ford design, succeeded by Moray Callum
Tue, 05 Nov 2013Ford's highly influential head of design, J Mays, has announced that he'll be retiring from his position after 33 years in the industry, 16 of which were at the Dearborn, MI-based company. Upon departure, he'll be succeeded as group vice president of design by Moray Callum. If that last name sounds familiar, yes, he's the brother of Jaguar's Ian Callum.
It's difficult to explain just how big of a role Mays had on not just Ford's design over the years, but on the entire industry. Before heading to Dearborn, Mays worked for Audi, BMW and then Volkswagen, where he was involved in concept cars that paved the way for design icons like the first-generation Audi TT and the Volkswagen New Beetle. As for his Ford resume, it's extensive.
Mays joined the company in 1997 as design director for Ford, Lincoln, Mercury and Mazda, as well as the Premier Automotive Group (Volvo, Land Rover, Jaguar and Aston Martin). He was heavily involved in the Ford Fusion, Focus, Fiesta, Taurus, F-150 and Mustang, while also contributing to concept cars like the Atlas, Evos, 427, Forty-Nine, Shelby GR-1, Lincoln MKZ and the MKC.
James Franco and tiger tease Ford Super Bowl commercial
Sat, 01 Feb 2014Ford has just released a teaser for its Super Bowl ad, and unlike just about every other automaker, it seems that the Blue Oval is going to make us wait until Sunday to see the full spot. The teaser is, um, strange.
It stars James Franco, who believes he is Ron Riggle, the comedian, Fox NFL Sunday host and retired Marine lieutenant colonel. There's also a tiger. The vague spot has Franco claiming that "this is no ordinary commercial." You'll note on the bottom right, there's a Ford logo and the hashtag #nearlydouble.
According to Automotive News, it's part of a massive viral effort being pushed forward by Ford and its dealerships. Ford sent different teasers and "vignettes" to dealership employees and asked them to share them on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, in the hopes of creating a viral effect.
Oprah at it again, gives car away on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
Sat, 17 Aug 2013Oprah Winfrey loves giving away cars. Not only has she given Pontiac G6 sedans and Volkswagen Beetle retro-mobiles to everyone in the audience of her past show, but the other night on Jimmy Kimmel Live! she gave another car away to one lucky audience member, while yelling her now-famous line: "You get a car!"
Although the acting of Oprah and Jimmy Kimmel was obviously staged for this giveaway, the reaction from the woman in the audience was genuine shock as she found out that she had just won a new Ford Fusion Energi. Congrats!
Not to take away from what Oprah and Jimmy pulled off, but our cynical sides have to wonder if there isn't more than just a little coincidence that this giveaway took place on the same day that Ford announced a fuel economy reduction for the C-Max hybrid. You be the judge... Scroll down to watch the short clip from the episode.
