78 Custom Ford Bronco:
If you are looking for a Stock 78 Bronco to keep or modify this is a good one. The body is in excellent shape inside and out and underneath. It was bought new in North Carolina and second owner bought in NC and he said he drove from NC to FL many times before he stayed down here. I know it has been garage kept for the past 10+ years and the previous owner had it painted years back. It runs and drives great. Everything works on the Bronco, like lights, signal gauges, etc and including the a/c!
It is a 1978 Ford Bronco Custom, 351M, C-6 automatic trans, power disc front brakes, power steering, A/C, and am/fm cassette stereo. It has the stock ford locking hubs and the dash pad has no cracks. Front and rear chrome bumpers are in great shape. There is no lift on Bronco and has stock exhaust. The valve covers and breather have been replaced with aftermarket type. Manual windows in front electric rear window and the doors work and close as good as new. It does show 60k miles but I believe it is 160k like I said the 2nd owner put some highway miles on it as far as I can tell by the way it looks.
Recent upgrades are:
Front bucket seats were reupholstered.
Rubber floor mat was replaced in front and back passengers area.
New spark plugs, air filter, oil filter, oil, trans filter screen and gasket, trans fluid, wiper blades and battery.
Replaced 33 gal fuel tank and sending unit.
Replace the electronic ignition module.
2 barrel carburetor was rebuilt.
Minor things:
The old module leaked its guts down the inside of the engine compartment where it is bolted its very sticky but does not hurt anything.
The custom emblem on the glove box has slid down about an inch for the Florida heat.
I have been driving some with the tires they have good tread but they are older and will need replaced soon.
There are a couple of small cracks or chips on door panels and cups. not very noticeable just cosmetic.
Email any questions.
Seller has the right to remove from auction early.

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.
Ford pits Cobra Jet versus GRC Fiesta ST, worlds collide
Thu, 31 Oct 2013Racing takes on many forms in the automotive world. There are sanctioned events that are as varied and diverse as NASCAR, Formula One, Global Rallycross and drag racing, and to be good enough to win competitively in one discipline, you need to have a specialized vehicle. Or do you?
Ford decided to find out what would happen when its Global Rallycross Fiesta ST, driven by Tanner Foust, lined up against its Mustang Cobra Jet drag racer, driven by Roy Hill. In one lane, Tanner has just 2.0 liters of displacement to work with, while Roy has more than double that, at 5.0 liters. Evening the playing field a bit, Tanner has a massive turbocharger and all-wheel drive; Roy has to filter all his supercharged power through the rear wheels only.
So, who wins? We suggest you see for yourself in the press release and video below. And we're holding out hope that Tanner's challenge at the end results in another video from Ford Racing...

Want more? Head over to the 2013 PCotY hub. But before you do that, take a stab at guessing the winner of PCotY (we'll give you one hint: it isn't a Porsche).
