1974 Ford Bronco Sport, automatic, 302v8, power steering, power brakes, 4x4, no rust, very good condition. Runs and drives excellent, fun to drive, nice daily driver that could be easily taken to the next level (new paint). Also with truck is original sport top in good condition and a recently reupholstered rear seat (both will be installed before sold). Many receipts, CA registration in my name, good through Aug. 2014. CA smog exempt. Truck could be driven anywhere.

- 302 v8 engine, rebuilt 33k miles ago, very strong, fast, peppy engine, stays cool, idles and runs perfect, no problems ever. Drive it in city and on highways frequently.
- All renewed/rebuilt suspension and steering: New tires, brakes, shocks, brake booster, power steering gearbox, stabilizer, and new ball joints. Radiator replaced a while back, newer hoses, everything was gone through and truck is mechanically solid.
- Interior gauges, lights, fan, vents, and blinkers all work well.
- Heavy duty tow hitch and electrical hookup (never used for tow though).
- Original Ford wind blue color, was repainted in the 90's, paint showing it's age.
- Both main and axillary gas tanks work properly, under seat tank switch, fuel gauge and gauge switch work properly.

Top, hatch/gate, rear seat, and wiper motor all work perfect and will be installed with original interior wiper canopy cover in good condition (see pics) before truck is transferred to new owner. Had it all off for convertible use. NADA estimate $25k retail. Does not need much to make this truck a beauty, just newer paint and front/rear fender flares. Front fenders have already been trimmed for flares, have not installed them though.

$16,000 or best offer.

Jay Leno's Garage goes eco with Ricardo HyBoost

Mon, 17 Mar 2014

"Now before you turn away, this is not another boring hybrid car thing..." Despite the slightly defensive introduction from Jay, the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage is actually pretty fascinating. The Ricardo HyBoost is a 2009 Ford Focus that has had a 1.1-liter engine swapped in for the stock 2.0-liter four. That might not get you performance enthusiasts out there fired up, until, that is, you hear that the 1.1L is also fed by both a turbocharger and an electrically driven supercharger for an instant-on "torque-fill" effect. Sounds about right, considering that Ricardo engineering is part of the genius behind the McLaren P1.
Perhaps most exciting of all, the Ricardo folks say that the package should run somewhere in the neighborhood of $1,100. A sort of performance-hybrid that makes sense for the frugal driver and the enthusiast one, then. There's a lot more to the HyBoost, all of which can be seen in the video below.

DoJ fines Japanese parts firms $740M in massive automotive price-fixing scandal

Fri, 27 Sep 2013

Nine Japanese suppliers have pleaded guilty in US court over charges of price fixing in the automotive parts industry, resulting in the Department of Justice doling out a total of $740 million of fines, according to a report from Bloomberg. The scandal, which has resulted in General Motors, Ford, Toyota and Chrysler spending up to $5 billion on inflated parts and driving up prices on 25 million vehicles has sent the DoJ hustling into investigations. "The conduct this investigation uncovered involved more than a dozen separate conspiracies aimed at the U.S. economy," Attorney General Eric Holder (pictured above) said during yesterday's press conference.
As the investigation stands, the DoJ has issued $1.6 billion in fines against 20 companies and 21 individual executives, with 17 of the execs headed to prison. Deputy Assistant Attorney General Scott Hammond said, "The breadth of the conspiracies brought to light today are as egregious as they are pervasive. They involve more than a dozen separate conspiracies operating independently but all sharing in common that they targeted US automotive manufacturers."
Big-name suppliers indicted in the investigation include Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi Automotive and Mitsuba Corporation. A list of fines and other corporations named in the investigation is available at Bloomberg.

Ford tops mid-year ranking of brands in the US

Thu, 18 Jul 2013

YouGov'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.
