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.
This is the nicest 78 Bronco that I have ever seen would love to keep but I like the 66-77 Broncos style a bit more.
The reserve has been lowered. I am in central Florida if you are in the area come by for a drive you wont be disappointed.
Email any questions.
Seller has the right to remove from auction early.

European car sales up 8% in February
Sat, 22 Mar 2014Three weeks ago an analyst increased projections for European car sales this year, expecting them to climb three percent compared to last year instead of 2.7 percent. That number is a postive sign after years of hard times but it turns out February was especially good, overall European sales climbing eight percent on a wave of southern European recovery and discounts - and this comes after five months of gains including January's 7.2-percent jump over the year before.
The only country of Europe's five largest markets to post a decline was France, just as it did in January, Germany, the UK and Italy posting solid double-digit numbers, Spain rocking the charts with an 18-percent increase because of a government program to encourage trade-ins.
The only brand to miss the wave was Volkswagen, dropping 0.8 percent as it watched the double-digit growth at sister brands Audi, Seat and Skoda lift the Volkswagen Group sales up by seven-percent. Peugeot overcame flat sales at Citroën to improve the group by 3.5 percent, BMW and the Mercedes-Benz/Smart combo rose by four percent, the Fiat group jumped 5.8 percent, Ford was up 11 percent, the Renault Group 11.5 percent, General Motors 12 percent and the Toyota clan by 14 percent.
Mustang-themed pinball game debuting in Chicago [w/video]
Wed, 05 Feb 2014Believe it or not, but new pinball machines are still being made. Chicago-based Stern Pinball still makes them and has found a niche selling modern machines to individual buyers and arcade distributors. For its latest cabinet, Stern partnered with Ford to create a pinball game that pays homage to the 50th anniversary of the Mustang, including the next generation. The new machine is being unveiled at the Chicago Auto Show on February 6 and goes on sale in March.
Stern is offering the machine in three variants. The pro-level machine is meant for arcades and public spaces and retails for $4,995. All of them come with background and cabinet art by Camilo Pardo, who designed the Ford GT, and Top Gear USA host Tanner Foust is the game's announcer. Depending on where players shoot the ball, they activate events that simulate drag racing, rallying, drifting and racing the Mustang, and hitting targets lets players shift the gears up and down.
An upgraded, premium table with added art will be added later for pinball machine collectors. The third model is a signed, special edition with art of the 1965 Mustang and 2015 Mustang on the machine and chrome and Mustang badges on the speaker grilles. Prices for these editions will be announced later.
Rowan Atkinson crashes at Goodwood Revival
Sun, 14 Sep 2014To quote Harry Hogge (played by Robert Duvall) in Days of Thunder, "rubbin, son, is racin'." That can mean some unfortunate damage to high-end racing machinery, which may be repaired easily enough in stock car racing, but when it comes to vintage racing, the stakes can be that much higher. And yet incidents do occur, like at this weekend's Goodwood Revival.
Among the many competitors taking part in the retro racing event in England was none other than Rowan Atkinson, the actor perhaps best known for playing Mr. Bean. Driving a classic Ford Falcon Sprint in the Shelby Cup event, Atkinson (pictured above at the 2012 revival) reportedly crashed head-on into another car on track.
According to reports, the two cars up spun out. The driver in between managed to avoid a pile-up, but Atkinson couldn't steer clear and hit the obstructing vehicle. Fortunately Rowan walked away unscathed (and, we imagine, in a humorous manner), but while we don't know how extensive the damage was to the Falcon, it was enough to take it out of the race.
