Here is your next classic Bronco. This truck exudes vintage charm in it's original trim however it has been significantly upgraded to be effortless for daily commutes and/or long trips.
The best features of this truck are:
Sounds right, runs right, tracks right, sits right!
Drives like a modern truck, not a 60's/70's truck.
Fuel injected motor starts right up, pulls strong, runs fantastic.
Cold a/c, comfortable seating, updated radio/cd.
Power steering, auto trans, front disc brakes
I've owned this truck for over ten years, much of the time as my primary vehicle. It started life as an Arizona truck and came from the factory very well optioned with:
302/auto trans, 4,900 GVW, limited slip rear, power steering, dual fuel tanks, remote driver mirror, passenger mirror, Ranger color/striping/brightwork spears.
Here's a list of some of the upgrades.
Engine/trans/driveline/mechanical:
The engine is a 1989 5.0 from a 31k mile Crown Vic (an old man's car that got rear-ended). Plus another 20k miles or so since installed in the Bronco. The timing cover forward is a serpentine belt setup from a 2000 Explorer including the a/c compressor. The rest of the a/c system is from Vintage Air. The engine and it's original ECM were installed and wired with care, including all necessary relays and circuit protection, by a mechanical engineer. This truck just starts right up every time with no pedal pumping and no choke to fiddle. Runs strong and clean. Has a catalytic converter and a SpinTech muffler. This gives it a nice low rumble without offending the neighbors. Original C4 works great, factory limited slip rear has been professionally rebuilt; chirps the tires as it should on sharp turns. Factory p/s gear has been professionally rebuilt. Truck tracks great, effortless around town or at highway speeds. Optima battery. Front brakes are C/K disc and rotor conversion with all rubber lines replaced with stainless steel for superior pedal feel.
Interior:
Tub and door panels were fully spray lined in white, modern seats installed with lumbar and headrest adjustment, custom dash accommodates a/c grills, Alpine speakers, Sony radio/cd garage, and upgraded fuse block. It has a locking Tuffy console, a factory rear seat (w/o armrests), intermittent wipers, two separate kill switches (very effective, hidden in plain view), rewired dash, remote control for the stereo, dash mounted high beam switch.
Exterior:
I wanted my Bronco to look unmolested. It has a very minor lift (about an inch, inch and a half) and upsized tires on stock rims with original caps. Stance is a personal thing, but I think this Bronco sits right. The tires are BF Goodrich All-terrain T/A with plenty of meat left (30x9.5-15). All doors/locks/windows work as they should. Doors close properly with no sag. Original Ranger colors and striping. Hood has hydraulic lifts instead of the prop rod. Wipers have been upgraded to Cherokee blades/refills. Factory dual tank setup replaced with a single 21 gallon tank. Headlights upgraded to halogen bulbs and reflectors with plastic reflector protectors; all on relays for superior lighting power. Paintwork is vintage with lots of patina. Slight variations in sheen and color indicate portions repainted over the years. Some crazing, some minor surface rust. Would benefit from a full cosmetic restoration, but in no way needs it. This truck presents great and is perfect for the collector who will DRIVE it. Lower quarters (just in the white band) have been professionally replaced with metal. The only notable rust is on the door bottoms (minor perforation on driver door inner edge) which could either be repaired or stabilized. Not causing any functional or aesthetic issues at this point. See close up photos. I personally love the worn paint where your left arm sits on the door top. It calls you to ride around town on a sunny Saturday and collect the waves, honks and thumbs-up. Undercarriage shows surface rust. Floorboards are all solid, rockers are solid. No issues.
Recently PA state inspected, good til 3/14.
The following are shortcomings a new owner would want to be aware of:
The high pressure fuel pump mounted on the frame rail makes a whine. It is a stock Ford unit (F-250, I think). Could be replaced or upgrade to in-tank. Or turn up the radio.
Passenger side window rolls up and down but is tight, probably from disuse.
Minor surface rust issues noted above. Overall, this is a nearly rust-free Arizona-raised truck.
Stereo "garage" door does not stay up on it's own. A brace or snugger pivots should address. A wedge in the linkage also works.
Original cardboard headliner is starting to sag a little (about an inch) at the seam.
Two very minor cracks in the otherwise excellent dash pad. See photo.
Swing-out tire carrier needs a new safety cable.
I am happy to show it, give test drives to you or your surrogate/agent, facilitate with your shipper and/or assist with fly-in/drive-out. We are 20 minutes from PHL, 90 minutes from Atlantic City Airport.
Please bid only if you intend to purchase; $1,500 non-refundable required within 24 hours of close of auction.
Reasonable reserve will not be revealed in fairness to all. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Today, hotrodding has a pretty staid definition. Take one classic American car, add one classic American V8, sprinkle with tire smoke and you pretty much have every hot rod to roll out of a shop in the last 40 years. Mike Borroughs knows it wasn't always this way. Once upon a time, getting your bucket to go faster meant grabbing whatever parts were lazing about the yard, bolting them together with a bit of ingenuity and laughing your way down the quarter mile. It's in that spirit that Burroughs built his 1928 Ford Model A.
Rather than turn to the tired flathead or the common Chevrolet small block, Burroughs plucked a 4.0-liter V8 from a 1995 BMW 7 Series. With 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, the engine has no trouble shuffling the old A around town. He had to build a custom chassis to get everything to cooperate, but the result is a 1,500-pound heathen that looks built to harass dry lake beds. You can check it out in the video below. Be warned, the soundtrack by Hanni el Khatib may not be safe for work - awesomeness of this caliber rarely is.

One Step at a Time
Nearly every flavor of exotic driveline has been shoved into the ubiquitous Ford at some point or another.
Chuck Schwynoch had been patiently listening to my ramblings on the other end of the phone for a solid half hour. I'm not too big of a man to know when to ask for help, and at this point, I desperately needed some assistance. The truth is, working on a machine like a Fox Body Mustang is as easy as breathing thanks to the wealth of information available on the web. Nearly every flavor of exotic driveline has been shoved into the ubiquitous Ford at some point or another, and odds are the sorry souls behind those builds shared the highs and lows of their torment with the internet community.

It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.
