1974 Ford Bronco 4X4 Ranger
This Bronco is claimed to be a one family owned vehicle that has spent almost it's entire life in northern Arizona. It was purchased new as a motor home tow-behind and was used for that purpose from new until 2011. It then went to Southern California where it had a carburetor fire in mid 2012 and was brought back to Arizona at that time. After repairing the wiring that was damaged and replacing the carburetor the vehicle is a runner-driver again. Much of the under hood plastic was damaged or deformed by the carb fire. An original 302 V8 with automatic vehicle with part time 4 wheel drive with warn hubs, the engine runs well- no ticking or knocking- and the trans shifts tight and smooth. It does leak oil. The transfer case and hubs seem to work well and both axles appear to be in good shape. The body is original and uncut with some dents and possible partial paint work in different areas- most notable being the right front fender damage. Most of the paint and trim appear to be original and the top does not look like it ever came off the vehicle. It has the Explorer option with chrome bumpers and trim as well as power steering, but no power brakes. It looks to have the original interior- with original rear seat- that needs to be redone, and it will need the windshield replaced. The only rust indicated is minor bubbling on the inner wheel housings under the hood on both sides and the under hood vent intake on passenger's side (see pics). Floors, rockers-virtually everything else looks to be rust free. All in all, a great original example for a restoration or just shape up what is here and use it as an original. The vehicle is listed for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. It is also available for inspection locally in Phoenix, Arizona. Please contact me to schedule an inspection or if you need any additional pictures or information. Thanks for looking, and happy bidding! |

2015 Ford Mustang GT Line-Lock Burnout
Mon, 03 Nov 2014In this brief Short Cut, Autoblog's Steven Ewing demonstrates Line-Lock on the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. Accessed through an on-screen performance menu, the feature temporarily locks the front brakes to help you heat up the rear tires for better traction, as you would for drag racing. The result? A 15-second smokescreen.
The big dune jump and the damage done
Mon, 20 May 2013The Silver Lake sand dunes see their fair share of well-built trophy trucks executing impressive jumps. Drivers build insane pieces of machinery for the express purpose of sailing through the air like mad men and women.
Mike Higgins is no stranger to the area. His heavily modified Ford trophy truck has gone flying through the sky on more than one occasion, but he recently bit off more than he could chew. After hitting a particularly lofty dune, Higgins went airborne for a ridiculous 180 feet before becoming intimately familiar with the finer points of gravity.
While Higgins nailed the jump, his landing fell short of wowing the judges. The impact very nearly broke his truck in two. Despite the mechanical mayhem, the driver walked away without a scratch, proving that occasionally miracles really do happen. You can check out the jump and the subsequent destruction below for yourself. Be warned: there's a fair bit of foul language.
Ford EcoBoost successful because of Soviet laser weapons system expert?
Sun, 28 Jul 2013Mike Kluzner is a man of many talents. Not only is he the software engineer responsible for fuel system diagnostics for Ford globally, he "got his start designing laser weapon systems capable of disabling the navigation systems of enemy satellites" for the former Soviet Union. Quite a résumé, wouldn't you say?
You may be asking yourself the same question that popped into our minds upon reading about Mr. Kluzner: What do laser weapon systems have to do with Ford and its EcoBoost engines? We'll let the man answer himself. "The same process for analyzing key physical relationships works for what we do today in engine combustion, catalyst chemistry and mechanics," says Kluzner. "These are all part of Ford's software engineering expertise." Who are we to argue?
Ford also employs an engineer who previously designed software to detect damage to the heat tiles on the International Space Station, as well as one who's past work involved particle physics, says the automaker in the press release below. David Bell (pictured above right), global boost system controls engineer for Ford, describes the software running EcoBoost as "the secret sauce" that makes the technology work as the driver intends and demands.
