Regretfully I am selling my 1978 Bronco. Due to the recent sequester I will not be getting paid on a crop insurance policy I purchased through USDA soon enough to pay some bills or possibly at all so I have to sell this Bronco immediately. I just bought this Bronco back from a friend in November. I had bought it from the original owner in 1997 when I was 20 years old. It was my daily driver for a year and I loved it. In 1998 I sold it because I needed a pickup to work out of. I sold it to a family friend and fellow Ford enthusiast. He took excellent care of it only putting about 500 miles on it in 14 years.
All the time he owned it I always told him that if he decided to sell it I wanted it back. Last spring after sitting for quite a while he discovered that the engine had become seized for some reason. He purchased a nicely rebuilt 400 from a mutual friend who is a professional mechanic and they installed it. The engine was properly installed and broke in right with zinc added to the oil and primed. It also received a new gas tank and lines as well as new power steering pump and master cylinder. The radiator was flushed and belts were changed. It also had brand new tires put on the factory painted wheels not long before I got it. It now has approximately 1500 miles on the new parts and engine and runs and drives excellent.
At the time of this listing it is back in the shop getting the air conditioning serviced and recharged as it had not been done yet from the engine swap. Also the rear window electric motor is being replaced with a new one because it is a little slow. When it leaves the shop the only thing not working will be the cruise control which is all there but won't engage, maybe the buyer can figure it out. This Bronco is very close to original condition and is in good overall condition. To my knowledge there was never any rust repair done and the only known rust is a small spot on the bottom of the tailgate caused by a leaky rear window seal that has since been replaced. I tried to photograph it as best I could.
For a 35-year-old vehicle it is in great shape but it is not perfect. It is however an honest Bronco that has not been messed with much and is 99% rust free. In fact, it still has an 8-track player in it! This Bronco would make an easy restoration project or a good driver. The paint is cracked and front seats are torn but the dash pad is perfect. These Freewheeling package Broncos are getting harder to find. I would not be afraid to drive it anywhere. I have tried to be as honest as possible in describing it and will be happy to answer questions. I will be happy to work with the shipper you choose. If not for finances I would not be selling it. I am not at a computer very often so it is best to call me at 6202711216 or my wife at 6206408414.
I would like $500 within 24 hrs of the auction ending and payment in full within 7 days. Thanks for looking!

Ford tops mid-year ranking of brands in the US
Thu, 18 Jul 2013YouGov's mid-year Brand Index rankings of America's best perceived brands has been released, and Ford has found its way to the top. The Dearborn, Michigan based manufacturer beat out online shopping giant Amazon, The History Channel, and home improvement superstore Lowe's, to take the top spot.
Ford jumped from sixth overall in 2012 to first for 2013, but those that have been watching these rankings shouldn't be hugely surprised. Ford was rated the best perceived automotive manufacturer by the same organization last year. The Blue Oval's success on the overall brand rankings is made all the more impressive by the complete lack of other automakers on the list.
YouGov (that is, survey respondents) cited Ford's first quarter of 2013 business, which saw an increase in market share and the best earnings recorded in over 10 years. Successfully launching the Focus and Fusion (pictured) and keeping them fresh in the minds of consumers has also contributed to Ford's best overall score.
2015 Ford Mustang prototype spotted on the street
Mon, 10 Jun 2013Our trusty spy photographers have snapped the first photos of the 2015 Ford Mustang prototype out on public streets. With nearly every square inch of the machine covered in heavy camouflage, it's difficult to discern details, but we can see smallish horizontal headlamps at work in the coupe's nose. Ford has made it clear that modern lighting technology will allow the company to get away from large, expensive headlamp arrays in the near future, and the 2015 Mustang may very well be the first of the automaker's products to bow with the new tech. The philosophy was first displayed on the very attractive Evos Concept.
The extensive cladding doesn't extend all the way to the prototype's rockers in the instance, giving us a look at the heavily-sculpted sills. Overall, this test car looks considerably smaller than the current generation Mustang, and elements like a short front overhang and beefy dual-piston calipers give us plenty of hope for the future model. Of course, reports that the 2015 Mustang will bow with an independent rear suspension and EcoBoost power certainly don't hurt our feelings, either.
Ken Block walks you through his new 'Hoonigan Racing' HQ
Tue, 24 Jun 2014Ken Block seems like one hell of a nice guy. I ran into him at CES this past January, and he dropped the video games he was playing to chat with me for a while. His crew also recently gave our Steve Ewing a tour of the offices you're about to see on this video. Good guy to know.
As it turns out, they're some fairly cool new digs. Dubbed 'Hoonigan Racing Division HQ,' the office is open to Ford Focus ST and Fiesta ST owners who attend the driving program offered out at Miller Motorsports Park. The very same program that Ewing reported on just recently.
Or, if you've no plans to buy an ST or travel to Utah any time soon, you can let Block show you around himself in this MTV Cribs-style video. With interior decorating that relies heavily on shipping containers and luxurious amenities like a ping pong table, 10 refrigerators and a bear(?), there's no lack of eye-candy in the driverly HQ. (Judging by Block's outfit, you'll probably not go thirsty if you're a Monster drinker, either.) Take the tour along with the Gymkhana master, below.
