Gorgeous blue 70s machine with low reserve!

Just finished doing a 6 month long paint/body/interior/exterior restoration

Rebuilt 302 V8 Engine with approximately 20,000 miles - runs strong. Dual

barrel intake.

3 Speed transmission with Hurst floor shifter upgrade. Fun to drive. Trans
feels good thru all gears

Dana 44 Front Axle  and Dana 20 Transfer Case, 9” Rear axle

New paint

New interior

The gauges work

lights & signals work
Doors close well
glass not cracked, side windows roll up and down
Wipers ok (reinstalled since photos)
Current odometer reading is in the 20,000 range. I assume this to be
120,000 miles but again, it is a 1972 so... just an assumption. The
mileage on the restoration work is what is listed above, 0 at time of
photos.





The body on this gleaming 70s beauty was just redone with a gorgeous clear
coated finish with PPGs Bay Roc Blue Poly, a correct color for Ford
Broncos from 1972. The paint has been color sanded and buffed
It was totally disassembled for paint, ie: The grill was pulled off, all
lamps removed, fenders pulled off, doors removed, all door glass,
hardtop, tailgate removed, hood removed, etc. Body was stripped to metal.
The front fenders showed some age so they were both replaced new with
quality OEM style steel ones from Toms Bronco Parts. Rocker panels were
replaced, inner and outer. Front floors replaced. This work was all
performed by a competent body shop and was NOT a cheap job. It was done
in base coat clearcoat 2 stage urethane (2:1 ratio urethane clear), and
then color sanded and buffed to the glossy finish that you see in the
photos. The body is straight. The dash was painted at the same time,
along with the interior door jambs and doors inside. There is a spare
tire carrier, painted in the same shade of blue. Hood was pulled off of
the vehicle and painted separately, as were spare tire carrier, tailgate,
and license plate bracket. Grill painted in argent. The floors and inside
of tailgate were sprayed with a black spray on bed liner throughout.
Engine compartment painted in black. (Note: Some pictures were taken
before the wing/vent windows were correctly installed as they are now).
Full steel factory hardtop available with new white paint.
New hardtop weatherstrip and door weatherstrip also included.

Interior upholstery all new. Front bucket seats (original bronco buckets)
were rebuilt with repainted seat frames (in black) with new foam and all
new parchment covers. Seat centers were done in a textured material
similar to original Ford Bronco seats. Front door panels were made new to
match. Rear bench seat (original) was reupholstered with armrests in the
same quality material.

New chrome bumper. Chrome headlight rings, chrome grill letters with
custom painted red centers. New signal lenses.
Drivers side mirror new chrome, with additional passenger side chrome
mirror installed.





This has been a fun truck for me, picked up my Christmas tree in it and
I’m gonna miss it. Just in time for you to enjoy it for summer.

Ford overlooks the Big Apple in the 2015 Mustang Convertible [w/video]

Wed, 16 Apr 2014

Ford has done it again. Like in April of 1964, there is once again an all-new Mustang Convertible sitting on the observation deck of New York City's Empire State Building. This has been in the making for a little while, with the first report that Ford would recreate the sky-high publicity stunt coming out a few weeks back.
The process of getting the Mustang up there wasn't exactly easy. A Troy, MI-based company chopped up the new droptop, a necessary evil to get the Mustang on the Empire State Building's only freight elevator that runs to the 86th floor observation deck. But it was slightly more involved than just taking the car apart. The company, DST, built a mockup of the ESB's freight elevators, and then practiced its cuts on a second pre-production Mustang Convertible (measure twice, cut once).
The result of all this work are the images you see above. Yes, sitting in the crisp, morning air of midtown Manhattan, over 1,000 feet up, is this brilliant, Triple Yellow Mustang. Take a look up top for our gallery of images from today's event. You can also scroll down for videos and images of the process leading up to the ESB debut.

2015 Ford Mustang potentially 'leaked' by Car and Driver

Mon, 28 Oct 2013

Few upcoming debuts have been as eagerly anticipated as the all-new Ford Mustang that's expected to debut shortly as the Mustang's 50th anniversary year approaches. Well, Car and Driver magazine would have us wait no longer as it claims to be leaking Ford's new global pony car early.
Of course what you're looking at is just as likely to be a composite rendering based on what C/D projects the new Mustang to look like, but to our eyes it looks spot on. Combining design traits from the Evos Concept with classic Mustang signatures and Ford's Aston-inspired grille treatment, C/D's images - including a complete 360-degree digital navigator - show a Mustang not only for the modern era, but also for global distribution, taking a quintessentially American car to markets its predecessors were never designed for.
Those global considerations are expected to spell the demise of the outgoing Mustang's holdout live rear axle in favor of an independent suspension, and a slight constricting of the exterior dimensions. And thanks to a separate leak, coming from a digital survey, we have apparent confirmation of what will power the new pony car. While the existing 3.7-liter V6 and 5.0-liter V8 engines will apparently carry over with only slight adjustments in output, the survey confirms a new 2.4-liter turbo four will be positioned in between them, offering slightly more power than the V6 but markedly improved fuel economy for a manageable $560 premium over base.

Evo grabs Ford's Fiesta R5 rally car by the scruff

Wed, 04 Sep 2013

Evo and host Henry Catchpole were thinking of excuses reasons to borrow the bonkers Ford Fiesta R5 rally car for a day or two, when it struck them: the car is street legal. With access to the R5, some of the world's most beautiful driving roads in the English Lake Country nearby, and a handy video crewing hanging around, the plan seemed to write itself.
Based on the resulting video, it was a good plan. Without spoiling the video for you - something we can't really do in text as the best part is listening to the rally car run - Catchpole finds the Fiesta to be sublimely quick and massively satisfying. Even taking the car for a spin on a pseudo rally stage, after leaving the English countryside, does nothing but add to his assessment of the beastly little Ford. Scroll on below to see for yourself, and enjoy the ride.
