Available is a rare Bronco. It's a 1974 Explorer edition only available in 1973, 74, and 76. This is the only way you could order an early Bronco with a Red/Red combination. The Ranger package didn't offer a Red interior. The color code is T which is Candy Apple Red, which is very rare. Most Explorers were Rangoon Red. You can tell how beautiful this color is on the door strikers, where there's no oxidation. This Bronco has a 351W with AT and PS. It is a barn find from Arkansas. I haven't washed or waxed it, I've only wiped it down, as they say it's farm fresh!

It has it's fair share of dings and dents, but the paint is ORIGINAL and it's ready to come back to life with a little (actually a lot) of wax. The tires are 31's on factory steel rims. The motor turns and has spark. I have not tried to start it yet, but the PO says it ran when parked (don't they all)!

It has a complete Koenig dealer option PTO winch. It's 100% complete, these have a resale value of $550-$600. The rear bumper is a dealer option too for Broncos. It has good brakes, the tranny and t'case shift fine. and the engine bay is complete. It is very solid and has very little rust. All sheet metal is usable and should be reused, including floors, doors, hood, tailgate, windshield frame, and kick panels. The frame has surface rust, not scale. It should clean up easy.

Too bad its cut, but boy is she solid. It's a great restoration project for the right person. There is no top. I have a decent top that I will include in the sale, the glass is out but included, and it needs paint. I'll also include an original Red Explorer rear seat in good condition. It is sold with a clear title.

Check out the prices on Ebay. There are 20K+ vehicles and junk! This one falls in between, which are getting hard to find, especially with the rare Explorer package, AT, PS, PTO winch and original paint!! Sorry the pictures are poor. Additional pictures for serious buyers.

All questions will be answered. Bidders with zero or negative feedback will have their bids retracted if you don't contact me first. I reserve the right to end the auction early as the Bronco is being sold locally as well. A $500 non refundable deposit is due at the end of the auction. Paypal is fine. Balance in cash or wire transfer. THANKS!

On Nov-13-13 at 19:47:58 PST, seller added the following information:

It was brought to my attention that I listed the title as salvage, that is incorrect. It has a clear title. I can send a picture of the title per your request.

I also had a question about the engine. The PO told me it was a 351W, it looks like the original 302 to me. I'll look closer and update the listing.

2015 Ford F-150 enters production

Wed, 12 Nov 2014

Ford has given the F-150 a dramatic makeover for 2015, switching to an aluminum body that helps reduce weight by about 700 pounds. Because the truck is dramatically different, Ford also had to change the way it makes the F-150, so we went inside its sprawling factory in Dearborn, MI, this week to see the Blue Oval's new manufacturing techniques in action.
The company has added 850 jobs at the site and upgraded its stamping and tool and die facilities. The body shop is also modernized, and it has been fitted with 500 new robots that join the structures together. The first 2015 F-150 rolled off the line on Tuesday, and the trucks will begin arriving in dealerships in December. Get a closer look at the F-150's unique assembly process in our video.

Are you Ford's next Bullitt Mustang? [w/poll]

Thu, 27 Mar 2014

Ford has a long history of offering special editions of its legendary Mustang. One of the most vaunted of those trim packages, though, has only been offered twice. The first time was in 2001, and then again in 2008. Yes, we're talking about the Bullitt.
Named for the infamous Dark Highland Green Mustang Fastback driven by Steve McQueen in the 1968 cop melodrama Bullitt, the car was famous for not just its pilot, but the high-speed chase it took part in during the movie. Now, we think we have images of the next Bullitt.
According to our spy photographers, the paint is a "dead-ringer" for the Dark Highland Green that has signified these special edition Mustangs. While we're inclined to agree, it's also worth pointing out that this shade looks very similar to one of the 2015's other new colors, Guard. We've yet to see one on the road (let alone in such dreary conditions), so it's tough to say for certain.

Ford-sponsored survey says a third of Brits have snapped a 'selfie' while driving [w/videos]

Fri, 08 Aug 2014

Talking on the phone while driving isn't advisable, and texting while driving is downright dangerous. Considering those truths, the fact that we even need to point this out this is incredibly disturbing: taking "selfies" while behind the wheel is exceptionally stupid. But, it's a thing that a third of 18- to 24-year-old British drivers have copped to doing, according to a new study from Ford.
Ford, through its Driving Skills for Life program, surveyed 7,000 smartphone owners from across Europe, all aged between 18 and 24, and found that young British drivers were more likely to snap a selfie while behind the wheel than their counterparts in Germany, France, Romania, Italy, Spain and Belgium.
According to the study, the average selfie takes 14 seconds, which, while traveling at 60 miles per hour, is long enough to travel over the length of nearly four football fields (the Ford study uses soccer fields, but we translated it to football, because, you know, America). That's an extremely dangerous distance to not be focused on the road.
