THIS IS A PROJECT I STARTED BUT AM UNABLE TO COMPLETE DUE TO TIME. THE BRONCO RUNS GOOD. I JUST HAD THE CARBURETOR REBUILT, COMPLETE BRAKE JOB, NEW EXHAUST MANIFOLDS AND DUAL EXHAUST, NEW FUEL TANK. I PUT THE BRONCO IN THE PAINT SHOP AND THEY STARTED THE WORK AND THEN WENT OUT OF BUSINESS. THE VEHICLE IS SANDED AND NEEDS VERY LITTLE BODY WORK. FLOORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW TAILGATE WHICH IS NOT YET INSTALLED. I HAVE ALL NEW UPHOLSTERY INCLUDING DOOR PANELS AND ARMRESTS, NEW RUBBER, REPAINT SEAL KIT, NEW GAS CAPS, FILLER NECK HOSE, NEW FENDER FLARES, AND OTHER MISC PARTS. ALSO INCLUDED ARE 5 ION 15X8 POLISHED WHEELS WITH GOODYEAR WRANGLER 31X10.5-15 TIRES MOUNTED AND BALANCED WHICH HAVE NEVER BEEN ON THE GROUND.

Michigan museum offers Model T driving classes
Sun, 29 Dec 2013Halfway between Detroit and Chicago, there is a car museum that gives visitors a unique level of interaction with antique cars. The Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners, MI has a driver's training class to teach people of any age to learn how to drive a Ford Model T.
From the crank starter to the column-mounted throttle control, this driving school teaches people all there is to know about driving and operating a Model T. Each class lasts about two and a half hours and is only open to 18 students. There are ten sessions planned for 2014 - twice a day on May 3, June 22, July 22, August 23 and September 14. The class costs $95 (or $85 for members), and it also includes a tour of the museum's automobile collection.
In addition to this driving school, the museum has plenty of exhibits on the property, and it's open all but three days per year (Easter, Christmas and New Year's Day) with free admission for school field trips and active military. Be sure to check out the Gilmore Car Museum's website or visit them on Facebook for more info.
Watch these Australian Ford and Holden muscle cars duke it out
Wed, 21 Aug 2013Australia's Motoring has put together a little video on two of the great performance vehicles available down under - the Holden VF Commodore HSV GTS and the Ford Falcon FPV GT R-Spec. And while both FPV and the Falcon might be on their way out, there's still plenty of time for a little head-to-head comparison between the two.
The cars aren't all that well evenly matched, though. The Ford boasts a 5.0-liter, supercharged V8, which the Aussies measure out at 449 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. The HSV, though, with its Corvette-derived, 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 is just too powerful - 576 hp and 545 lb-ft of torque.
Predictably, it doesn't end too well for the Ford. As the guys from Motoring point out, the new VF Commodore is just too new and too good, with its extra power and its adaptive dampers (GM's excellent MagnaRide). Interestingly, Motoring did point out that the Holden's electric steering is better than the Ford's hydraulic steering, which is a lot like a Porsche purist saying they prefer water-cooled engines to air cooled.
Ford says 70% of its models to get stop-start by 2017
Sun, 15 Dec 2013Ford is following up on a report we posted a few weeks back that the Blue Oval would be adding stop-start technology to its entire model range. Now, the Dearborn-based automaker has announced that the fuel-saving feature would be available on 70 percent of the company's range by 2017.
Ford claims the technology will improve fuel economy by around 3.5 percent, although its actual effect will vary based on how the owner drives - apparently up to a 10-percent improvement is possible for those who sit in heavy traffic (Los Angelenos, this means you). The latest recipient of the technology is the updated 2014 Ford Fiesta with the company's three-cylinder EcoBoost powerplant.
Part of the reasoning for the new addition has to do with cost. Ford claims the tech is affordable and easy to implement. "Simply put, Auto Start-Stop helps customers use less fuel, which is an important component of Ford's Blueprint for Sustainability," Ford's global powertrain vice president, Bob Fascetti, said.
