This is a 1973 Ford Bronco. I am the second owner. I believe it to be in very good condition, but it certainly has been used and has wear. I have never abused this vehicle nor do I believe the original owner did either. My wife and I have only used it during hunting seasons on "ranch" roads that we have permission to hunt. The left rear corner was in a minor to moderate accident prior to my ownership. It has some very minor evidence of rust but no serious rust issues of any kind. It was repainted prior to 1996. It has had no internal engine work done since new, but all external components have been replaced or overhauled (i.e. fuel pump, water pump, carb, radiator, heater core, motor mounts, starter, alternator). The engine runs good and does not use oil. The transmission was overhauled in 1976 at either 6100 miles or 61000 miles. I do not know which. Both rear end and front end have had new axel bearings installed, but no internal work done (i.e. gears). Every u-joint in the drive train has been replaced. All brake components have been replaced with exception of the drums. It has all new neoprene suspension parts on the front end. All new shocks with duel shocks being added to the front. Engine, transmission and steering do leak some oil due to age, but not really due to a malfunction. The odometer reads 98,501. When I asked the original owner if that was correct he stated that it had turned over. So, I have to assume that it has 198,501 miles, but I do not know what the actual miles are. The speedometer has always worked since I got it. This vehicle is almost all stock with the exception of the rear fenders being cut and flairs installed. Duel shocks being added to the front. The original steering wheel being replaced. The rear upholstery, carpeting and back seat have been removed for a more utilitarian use. The front bumper has been replaced with a winch type bumper. It has no winch at this time. It has no steel top nor am radio and speaker. But the dash has not been modified. I have modified the door hinge pins for quick and easy removal of the doors while hunting.

Overall this Bronco is in excellent condition for it's age. But, it is 41 years old. I get many compliments on it. It has been garaged the whole time that I have owned it and well taken care of and serviced. The only reason that I am selling it is I wish to get an ATV that I can haul in conjunction with my travel trailer.

Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 has a bit of a dyno issue

Tue, 28 May 2013

We're of the mind that each and every dyno should come with Murphy's Law painted in big, visible letters down the side. For every ten successful dyno runs out there, it seems there's one where events to horribly wrong. Take, for example, the video below. The clip shows what happens when a Ford Shelby GT500 and a mobile dyno have a bit of a disagreement at the Performance Expo 24 in Sherbrooke, Quebec. We won't spoil the results for you, but we will say there's some substantial carnage involved.
It's unclear just how much damage ensues from the dust up or whether anyone was harmed in the incident, but from the looks of things, everyone made it out without serious injury. If only we could say the same for the machines involved. Check out the video below.

Mulally wanted to kill Lincoln as late as last year, Fields vows to turn it around

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

Lincoln fans might want to give incoming Ford CEO Mark Fields a pat on the back for having a hand in saving the brand from the chopping block last year. He's among the people spearheading the rejuvenation of the division away from its stodgy image to appeal to younger customers.
According to two unnamed sources speaking to Bloomberg, CEO Alan Mulally was ready to kill Lincoln last year. Following the slow production ramp-up of the MKZ combined a with a costly ad campaign, Mulally was frustrated and openly suggested dropping the brand. However, Fields and Jim Farley, Ford's marketing boss, convinced the CEO that the brand was worth saving. They also created a plan to prevent similar problems for new models in the future.
It seems that one part of the strategy may involve waiting until new models are at dealers before starting a big ad campaign for them. Lincoln global director, Matt VanDyke, recently told Autoblog that the division is holding off on a full marketing push behind the new MKC crossover to prevent the supply problems that plagued the MKZ last year. Its big offensive begins in the fall when the CUVs are at all of the dealers and consumers are at home watching more TV. VanDyke also told Bloomberg that Fields, Farley and Joe Hinrichs, Ford president of the Americas, have more direct oversight over new product launches now.

Which is more fuel efficient, driving with a pickup's tailgate up or down?

Tue, 26 Aug 2014

Thanks to the smoke wand in the wind tunnel, you can actually see the difference in our video.
Should you drive with your pickup truck's tailgate up or down? It's an age-old controversy that's divided drivers for decades. Traditionalists will swear you should leave the tailgate down. Makes sense, right? It would seem to let the air flow more cleanly over the body and through the bed. But there's also a school of thought that argues trucks are designed to look and operate in a specific manner, and modern design techniques can help channel the airflow properly. So don't mess with all of that: Leave the tailgate up.
