Payson, Arizona, United States

Up for bid is this nice 1978 Ford Bronco Ranger XLT.  It has NO RUST, and no bondo or filler that we have found.  AZ 4X4, has a 351 Cleveland with approx 20K miles on the motor.  The odometer reads 74,221, however those miles are actually unknown, as it was owned prior to my dad.   The vehicle runs excellent, fires right up with no problems and travels great on the highway.  The rebuilt 351 Cleveland was installed in 2004, and has only had 20k miles put on since.  As you can see, it does not get driven much and averages 2k miles per year. It is not a Salvage title, it is a class C title which means actual miles unknown.  It could possibly be 74k original miles, but its not known.  It does have new door panels, new carpet, and new visors.    The four wheel drive works, and there are no issues with the running gear. It had new U-Joints installed front and rear in Oct 2012, along with a new rear drive shaft.  In Jan of 2012 it had a new cap, rotor, points, and condensor installed, and in Feb 2011 it had new plugs and wires.  This year its had a new battery box installed, new windshield washer container and pump.  Chrome valve covers, Edlebrock intake, carb, and air cleaner.  4” lift with Bridgestone 33x12.50x15 tires at 75% tread.  The vehicle has very minor leaks, occasionally you will see a drip from the tranny, or a small drip from the oil pan, but it does not have actual leaks that need fixed or that cause the vehicle to have to replace fluids constantly.  It has MM locking hubs, Dual exhaust with flow masters (sounds awesome), the belts and hoses are all in great shape.  It does not have a radio or a CD player in it, the dash has never been cut or altered to have stereo system installed (rare).  There is no backseat in this Bronco.  It does have a spare tire in the back, but obviously no spare tire carrier on the back, please see photos.  It does have the original dash, which does have cracks in it, also note that it does have a split bench seat, with a tear in the seat on the drivers side.  The rear window is electric, it does work, however it needs a new switch.  Prior to listing the window was tested, it does work, again just needs a new switch.  There are very minute small dings on the vehicle, however there is one actual dent on the drivers side door, very small dent, please see photots.  Also the rear bumper does have a small dent as well.  The bronco has small paints chips, especially behind each tire from rocks on the highway.  On the front there is a chrome brush guard, all the lights work with the exception of the dome light, it just needs a new bulb.  The side windows on the shell are both sliders, and there are various spare/extra interior parts that will come with the vehicle.  On the rear bumper it is missing a license plate light.  The wheels are aluminum, 10” wide, and in good shape.  It does not have AC, even though it is AC compatible, and the heater works.  Again this is not a salvage title, which is a hard thing to find on these older vehicles.  It has NO RUST!!! AZ vehicle well taken care of and maintained!!! For someone looking to do a full restore this is the one!!!     This Bronco is bad to the bone off road, I would highly recommend putting an experienced off road driver behind the wheel!!! The 351 Cleveland has an extreme amount of power!!!

Ken Block is at it again in Gymkhana 6

Mon, 11 Nov 2013

If there's one thing we'll say about Ken Block and his latest installment in the Gymkhana family, it's that it's far more structured than previous videos, but that doesn't mean it skimps on the entertainment. Block is on a purpose-built course which was touted as "The... Ultimate... Gymkhana... Grid... Course" in last week's preview. Unlike Gymkhana 5, which took placed on closed streets in San Francisco, this course seems much more compact.
Block has an entire array of challenges to tackle in his 650-horsepower Ford Fiesta ST, and none of them look particularly easy. In fact, we'd argue that Gymkhana 6's grid course requires much more precise driving that previous titles. There are Segways, Lamborghinis and massive pieces of construction equipment that all must be dealt with.
We've got the entire 6:28 of Gymkhana madness for you down below. Scroll down for the video and then hit Comments and let us know how this installment compares to previous Block works.

NHTSA closes investigations into Ford Taurus, Hyundai Santa Fe

Wed, 03 Jul 2013

Ford and Hyundai are out from under the scrutinizing eyes of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration after the government agency said it was closing investigations against both automakers over vehicle safety concerns.
Ford was being investigated for reported damaged speed control cables on Ford Taurus (shown above) and Mercury Sable models, both built between 2000 and 2003. Vehicles with the company's Duratec engines allegedly failed to allow owners to brake as expected. Owners lodged 100 complaints and were involved in five accidents, according to NHTSA records. The American automaker responded to the reports, and on June 21 of this year, said that it would inspect and repair all affected vehicles, regardless of the mileage.
Hyundai was under investigation for a reported loose fastener on the steering shaft of its 2011 Santa Fe (shown in the gallery below). After NHTSA launched its inquiry, the Korean automaker responded with its own investigation that yielded four affected vehicles. Following the inspection of 680 vehicles at its assembly plant, Hyundai said the issue was due to employee error and that no further defects have been found.

Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern

Fri, 09 Dec 2011

Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.
