1996 Ford Bronco 5.8l 4x4 Florida Vehicle Great Shape on 2040-cars

Year:1996 Mileage:136000 Color: of the lower tailgate
Location:

Winter Garden, Florida, United States

Winter Garden, Florida, United States

Condition:

Bronco looks and runs great.  From the original blue and white paint to the rust free frame and undercarriage, and the push button four wheel drive, you will be pleased with this truck. Everything works on this vehicle, power windows and locks are fully functional, even the back window up/down switch operates.  Recently new A/C pump, provides cold A/C, and the heater blows hot.

The original paint is in great overall shape, however it does show some wear on the front of the hood, and the roof, and the aftermarket sun visor is loosing it's clear coat.  The ONLY rust is in the inevitable place on the interior of the lower tailgate seam. It is starting on one side, and there are a few spots starting to come through on the exterior of the lower tailgate (see photos). You can see the the rain gutters on the roof are in great shape as well.

The body is wreck and dent free, what you see is what you get.  The body or suspension has never been lifted, nor cut, to accommodate larger tire and wheel combinations.  The cap has never been removed, and is all original, including the white paint.

All of the chrome, including the bumpers are in great shape, only a few wear spots on the body side molding plastic chrome trim.

Engine and transmission are running great.  Starts cleanly even after sitting for a few weeks and the transmission shifts smooth, up and down.  There is a slight engine oil drip, I think it is from the rear seal, but I can't say for sure.  I know it isn't from the valve covers, as they are clean.  Drip isn't significant, as I never have to add oil between changes. 

Interior is smoke-free, clean and tear free, even the original floor mats are in great shape.  The aftermarket CD radio works fine, however skips occasionally, probably due for a change, it's been 15 years after all.

Optional Features:

The wheels are aftermarket standard size 15" aluminum, and tires are 32X11.50.  After market CD radio. 

History:

I purchased this vehicle in 1997 in Pittsburgh, from a dealer that had just taken it in on trade for an Explorer. Apparently the vehicle was too big for the female driver.  I believe there was about 9,000 miles on it when I bought it, and it came with the bleach marks in the rear carpet.  I suspect a grocery store accident... The Bronco lived in between Orlando, Florida and Pennsylvania until 1999, when I moved to Orlando. In 2004, the trucked moved with me to Atlanta, and back to Orlando in 2009.  It was my daily driver until 2011, and is now driven occasionally, and currently stored in an indoor storage space.  

Shipping and Payment:

Not being an ebay veteran, I prefer a cash transaction, however, a Paypal deposit can be arranged.  A $1,000 deposit will be required within 48 hours of sale closing, and a full and final balance payment must be made within 10 days of sale closing.  Failure of full and final payment being made within 10 days of sale closing will result in lose of all deposit money and right to vehicle.  Once all funds clear, title and vehicle will be released to buyer or buyers agent.  Happy to discuss specifics options further.  Bronco also being advertised locally.

How the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor became a reality

Wed, 01 May 2013

The camouflaged Ford F-150 SVT Raptor prototype captured above blazing its way across the desert during a test run left company engineers giggling in amazement, reveals Jamal Hameedi in a new Autoweek video. Ford's global performance vehicle chief engineer, accompanied by senior exterior designer Bruce Williams, sat down with the publication to discuss the concept and development of the automaker's super off-road F-150.
Designing a high-performance pickup in 2008, right when the cost of gasoline was going through the roof, seemed insane at the time, but the team pushed forward with the innovative vehicle regardless. The interview includes plenty of Ford B-roll footage as visual candy, and the conversations include discussions about exterior design, ride comfort, anti-lock brake tuning, suspension engineering, weight reduction and why it was necessary to make the Raptor visually different than Ford's standard F-150. The model's origin story is very interesting, and you can learn more about it by watching the video below.

Ford C-Max Solar Energi takes a recharging station wherever it goes

Wed, 08 Jan 2014

Companies ranging in size from small startups to major automakers have been experimenting with solar-powered charging stations for EVs and plug-in hybrids. And, of course, people have been powering vehicles with onboard solar panels for quite some time, too. Still, Ford's new C-Max Solar Energi Concept shows the promise of a truly practical implementation of solar on a production vehicle, and it may not be as far off in the future as we had thought.
As we reported a few days ago, the Solar concept makes use of a "concentrator lens" that focuses sunlight onto the Ford's roof-mounted solar panels. The special lens follows the rays of the sun to maximize the amount of charge being fed to the batteries of the car, taking about a day to fully charge the 21-mile, all-electric range of the C-Max Energi. Ford data suggests that combination might be enough to power 75 percent of all trips made by a statistically average driver. In turn, using the sun to power a vehicle could reduce yearly C02 emissions by up to four metric tons when compared with the driver of an average gasoline-powered sedan.
We've got live images of the C-Max Solar Energi Concept, jauntily tilted on its display to best present it's signature solar panels, straight from the CES floor.

Ford Mustang EcoBoost has fake engine soundtrack

Wed, 24 Sep 2014

The 2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost represents a huge change for the Blue Oval as the first pony car in decades to be available with a four-cylinder engine. But a recent tweet (below) from Road & Track raised our curiosity about the new vehicle. Editor Jason Cammisa pulled a fuse while driving the latest 'Stang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine, and he found that both the stereo and engine went quiet in the cabin. That indicated the coupe might have some form of artificial engine sound being piped in - a feature not previously heavily reported for the model. Autoblog spoke with Ford engineer Shawn Carney who confirmed that only the turbocharged four-cylinder Mustang comes with this system, called Active Noise Control.
