Gallatin Gateway, Montana, United States

1974 Ford Bronco Ranger 4x4.  No rust.  Original CA vehicle.  I have all original paperwork including window sticker, original CA registration, manuals and all dealer provided information.  I also have the original CA Blue plate which matches the original CA registration which I also have.  I am the 3rd owner.  I purchased from 2nd owner who owned for 25 years  He was friends with original owner.  The original owner upgraded to a full size Bronco


This Bronco has not been messed with.  See build sheet picture to see all factory options which include PS & Front Limited Slip.  


Hubcaps.  The ones on it are not original but I do have the original ones that were taken off to preserve

Muffler  I just replaced but kept the original one that will go with the sale.

Headliner.  Original one is in it but original owner had felt overlaid and a hat rack installed.  I have a new headliner that goes with sale

Dash  All original  Has a crack but never had replaced as top has never been off

Spare Tire.  Has original Spare tire unused still on it.  Also have Ford Padlock

New Cooper 30x9.50x15 tires

Aux gas tank  Recently was leaking a bit at the sending unit so I replaced with a new poly tank 

Per Prior owner Carb has never been off

Has small lift that could be reversed if desired

Has front push bar mounted in bumperette holes.  Bumperette's are now mounted upside down on rear bumper so at least they are there

I do drive this  It runs and drives great and everything works No known issues at this time

Paint is original but at one time according to the Prior owner the original owner got  scratch in the side and the dealer painted over original paint (Passenger side under chrome trim and above ranger decals) to cover scratch.  

Original Owner had installed an alarm which I removed

I am only selling as I really want something I am not afraid to take off road some.  This is a very nice original collector piece and I have not seen one this nice and rust free.  THis is the first vehicle I have ever put on Ebay.  Feel free to send an inspector out.  There is nothing to hide on this bronco  Interior is all original and in almost perfect shape.  I also have misc extra original items that go with the sale.  I assume based on condition that this Bronco was always covered  When I purchased it was in a nice shop and I also keep it in a heated shop

Focus ST diesel variant coming, just don't look for it here

Fri, 07 Mar 2014

A few years back, Volkswagen made some waves when it announced the Golf GTD - a diesel-powered car that, aside from its ultra-efficient, ultra-torquey engine, was identical to the gas-powered GTI. That meant cosseting sport seats, larger wheels, sportier suspension, larger brakes and a body kit that made the GTD indistinguishable from the GTI, except for the three little letters on the back and in the grille.
Now, Ford is looking to replicate VW's success, with a diesel version of the Focus ST. According to Motor Trend, the diesel-powered ST will use a 2.0-liter, 182-horsepower four-cylinder. With an unspecified amount of torque on offer (we'd guess around 280 pound-feet), the diesel hot hatch should hit 62 miles per hour in about eight seconds.
The report, which originally comes from Auto Express, claims the ST Diesel was confirmed by Ford Chief Marketing Officer Mark Fields during this week's Geneva Motor Show. Not surprisingly, it doesn't appear there are any plans to bring a diesel-powered Focus of any kind to the US, let alone one that uses the suspension, steering and other items from the ST. Of course, if there's an official confirmation from Ford, we'll be sure to report on it.

What's in a trademark? Sometimes, the next iconic car name

Thu, 07 Aug 2014



The United States Patent and Trademark Office is a treasure trove for auto enthusiasts, especially those who double as conspiracy theorists.
Why has Toyota applied to trademark "Supra," the name of one of its legendary sports cars, even though it hasn't sold one in the United States in 16 years? Why would General Motors continue to register "Chevelle" long after one of the most famous American muscle cars hit the end of the road? And what could Chrysler possibly do with the rights to "313," the area code for Detroit?

IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013

Wed, 02 Jan 2013

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.
