1977 Bronco
This is a 1977 Ford Bronco truck in the body style that produced 1966-1977, it is the of the jeep style small bodied Broncos and considered by far to be the best year. It is very hard to a '77 model for sale and I wish I did not need to sell this one. I have had it in my collection for a long time.
1977 was the only small Bronco with fuel cap doors versus prominate fuel caps. This bronco has dual fuel tanks and they do not leak and I have noticed no rust in the fuel.
This bronco is equipped with a 302 and automatic transmission. The engine exhaust, and upgraded sspension were installed I believe at the same time. This was about 4 years ago if what I was told is correct. It has a 4" suspension lift on front (new springs) and a 2" leveling block in the rear.
The motor runs quiet, no exhaust leaks and very smooth (perfectly balanced), no vibrations. The automatic trans works better than the original and the throttle kick down rod which operates what is called passing gear is correctly installed.
It has headers that are high quality with thick flanges and dual exhaust with very mellow, nearly quiet exhaust.
1977 used stronger front axles than the earlier broncos and it has disk brakes. The front axle is a dana 44 and rear axle is a ford 9". The gear ratio is 3.50 in the front and 3L50 in the rear. The L means factory limited slip axle.
This bronco has power disk brakes, power steering, and a heavy duty front sway bar. It has aftermarket A/C and needs to be recharged.
I believe the aluminum wheels came on this bronco in '77, I know this wheels were on '77-'78 F-150s. The tires are in good shape and I would say with about 50% of tread left.
The head liner is sagging and needs some attention or replaced, the overhead wiper motor cover is missing as is the weather stripping between the windshield and convertible top.
All three of these problems are very easy to fix and I have a nearly endless supply of these parts readily avaliable. There is however, a small rust hole in the passenger side door jam by a factory weld about half the size of a dime. Also the underside of the hood needs to be painted orange which I am supposed to do next week (my friend thought it would look better black without asking me).
I hate putting this bronco up for auction with these minor imperfections, but I simply do not have the time to fix them right now.
This bronco is not a ten but I am not asking a ridiculous price either. I hope someone that has always wanted a nice bronco for a fair price can have their dream come true.
This vehicle is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early at anytime for any reason.
Feel free to contact me for any questions you may have or make any reasonable offer.

I will try to help with delivery information or store it temporarily till it can be picked up or delivered.

Ford calling in 28k Edge crossovers over fuel line leak
Thu, 16 Jan 2014A problem with the fuel line on certain examples of the Ford Edge has prompted the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall. The issue revolves around the metal housing on the fuel line pulse damper, which was apparently improperly manufactured in the first place and is prone to crack in certain circumstances, leading to a fuel leak. And as we all know, a fuel leak is not a good thing.
The problem affects model year 2012 and 2013 Edge crossovers equipped with the 2.0-liter engine and manufactured between September 2, 2010 and April 25, 2013 - a total of 27,933 units. Although the Lincoln MKX is closely related to the Edge, since it isn't offered with the same engine (to which the problem is related), the recall does not include the premium-badged version. See the recall notice below for further details.
Ford Q3 pretax profits drop to $1.18B
Fri, 24 Oct 2014Following positive third quarter financial results recently from General Motors, rival Ford took a tumble in Q3. The automaker posted pre-tax profits of $1.18 billion, compared to about $2.59 billion in Q3 2013, a drop of around 54 percent. Net income also suffered with $835 million made in the quarter, versus $1.272 billion last year, a decline of about 34 percent. The Blue Oval blamed the gloomy figures on three reasons in its release: "lower volume, higher warranty costs and adverse balance sheet exchange effects."
There were problems of one kind or another in practically every region. North America experienced higher warranty costs than expected, partially due to recalls. The sales volume for the quarter was 665,000 units, versus 725,000 in Q3 2013, and pre-tax results amounted to $1.41 billion versus $2.296 billion last year.
South America and Europe both posted worse pre-tax results than last year. On the bright side, European volume was up slightly to 321,000 vehicles, from 303,000 in Q3 2013. The Middle East and Africa also lost $15 million, but that was an improvement compared to the $25 million loss previously experienced in this region.
Ford EcoSport Storm concept swallows a Raptor in Sao Paulo
Sun, 02 Nov 2014Ford rolled into the Sao Paulo Motor Show with some pretty cool crossovers in tow, the awesomest of all being the EcoSport Storm concept shown above, which draws its inspiration directly from the F-150 SVT Raptor. It packs a lower grille clearly derived from the now-famous muscle truck, as well as a Blue Storm paint job, black and silver trim, special graphics, lower body cladding and 215/75 R15 off-road tires. Don't go holding your breath for a supercharged V8, though; made locally in Brazil, India and Thailand, the tiny EcoSport is typically powered by a three- or four-cylinder engine.
The Storm isn't the only specially prepared Ecosport on show, however, joined as it is by another pair called Beauty and the Beast. Beauty is decked out in matte copper with a black roof, LED fog lamps, 18-inch wheels with low-profile tires and an interior complete with four individual bucket seats, leather upholstery and a full multimedia suite. The Beast, meanwhile, takes a sportier approach with a white pearl finish, blue and orange trim and three-bar grille. It also wears 18-inch wheels and LED fog lamps, but its interior swaps out its rear seats for a bike rack.
Joining the EcoSport show cars was an Edge crossover equipped with all the latest technologies and done up in bright red with three-bar grille, bulging hood, and an interior featuring 10-inch touchscreens and leather upholstery. Feel free to read more in the press release below.
