Hi up for auction is a 1979 Ford Bronco the truck only has a little over 44,000 miles on it. The bronco does have some rust issues that need attended to but is not bad for a 34 year old truck! This would be a perfect Bronco to have restored and put away. The engine is unmolested and everything is there except for the kick down rod so the transmission does not kick down, if you read on the internet you  find many people removed them there are a pita to adjust and most people just removed them. The Bronco is the all-wheel drive model. I think the tires that are on the truck may very well be the originals according to the date code and they are not dry rotted and seem to be in decent shape but I wouldn't drive on them real far , the hub caps in the photos are not the originals but the originals will be included and are in good shape. The last owner said that the top has never been off so I never took it off either, the truck has a sunroof that he thought was installed at the factory but I am not sure about that, sunroof and top doesn't leak a drop, and I don't think the engine does either, like most of them did. Does not have air conditioning. The truck has been rust proofed but it still rusted around wheel wells and bottoms of panels and places. frame is good no bad rust issues there. upholstery is very nice but carpet is fading and the front seats seams are just starting to come apart but could be fixed easily.. The rear seat is almost perfect!  The back window goes up and down just as it should. Doors are nice and tight as possibly could be, the rubber around doors are in good condition. The dew wipe on rear window has seen better days. The tail pipe is rusted off but will be a very easy fix and the rest of the exhaust looks pretty good, all factory guards are still in place. There is a dent on the rear passenger side and it could be fixed easy and is rot real noticeable anyway " see photo". I have changed the stereo but I have the original one and it will be included with the truck. The truck is 98% original and needs to be babied and restored and it would be a jewel, I wanted to restore it but just find I don't have the time or room to do so. The truck is dependable enough to be a daily driver. Has a trailer hitch and electric brake setup.

Exceptionally rare '65 Ford GT40 Roadster prototype up for auction

Sat, 14 Jun 2014

Think of mid-engined supercars and your mind is bound to gravitate towards Europe, but the United States has been known to make a handful from time to time - exceptional vehicles from the likes of Vector, SSC, Mosler, Hennessey, and Saleen. But long before any of those came around, Ford famously became obsessed with beating Ferrari at its own game, leading to the development of the iconic GT40.
The story is well known, sending Ford to the checkered flag at Le Mans four times in a row in the late 1960s. Ford and Shelby also built over 100 for public consumption, but just four of them were roadsters. Of those only one remains in original condition, and now that exceedingly rare example going up for auction.
Consigned to RM Auctions for its mid-August sale during Pebble Beach weekend in Monterey, California, this 1965 model is the first GT40 Roadster built. It was used as a development and demonstration vehicle for Ford and Shelby. Carroll Shelby himself drove Henry Ford II in this very car during one of many test and demo events, this time held for Ford's board of directors in Los Angeles.

2015 Ford Mustang to make world debut on Dec. 5 [w/video]

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

Between a bevvy of spy shots, speculative renders and insidery images from the halls of Car and Driver, we've got a pretty decent idea of what the 2015 Ford Mustang might look like. Still, we're excited to see the real deal as soon as possible.
Turns out that Ford has told us just when that first official look might come, too, although it has chosen somewhat of a backdoor fashion for dropping the news.
The video below popped up on the Ford Mustang YouTube channel this morning, promoting a social media effort called #MustangInspires on. The video and hashtag ask fans of the pony car to share pictures of the car - or "photographic stories of inspiration" - on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc. But the truly interesting part of the video description is that which mentions taking "the cover off the all-new Mustang" on December 5. Consider our calendars marked.

Shelby to auction 2012 GT350 No. 1 in Vegas

Thu, 19 Sep 2013

With Shelby preparing to wind down production of its brutal GT350, a 624-horsepower Mustang that's meant to go up against the Roush Stage 3 in the world of tuned Ford ponycars, the Las Vegas-based tuner is looking to give back to one lucky customer. It'll auction off the very first GT350 ever produced, at the 2013 Barrett-Jackson auction in Las Vegas, a three-day event that runs from September 26 through September 28.
The GT350 is a monster, with a 5.0-liter, supercharged V8 that's been tuned well past 600 horsepower in a time when Ford's own Shelby-branded GT500 barely reached 550 horsepower. The GT350 is much louder than Ford's effort, too, both visually and audibly. The wide body look isn't what we'd call conventional, but on a car that sounds and goes like this, something extreme is needed. According to Shelby American's vice president of production, Gary Davis, "Carroll was very excited about the new wide body option, so that was included on this car. It's the first 2012 GT350 serial number from our anniversary year. It is a very special car." Wilwood brakes, a massaged suspension, and some very fat, sticky tires add to the Shelby experience.
This particular GT350 will be lot number 750, and will cross the Barrett-Jackson stage on Sunday, September 28.
