Have you noticed that these early Broncos are only increasing in value? The first generation of the early Bronco was built from 1966-1977, with a total of 225,585 produced. U13 Roadsters like this one were only built in '66, '67, and '68, with a total of only 5000 built over that 3-year production run. According to Bronco experts, there are less than 200 in existence today, and perhaps only 50 or so in restored every day driver condition. After 15 years together, I just learned that Ol' Blue is even more rare than I knew.  VIN indicates that Blue came off the line in September (second month of production) and the very rare ' EYEBROW ' GRILL & TAILGATE confirm that.   

'Ol Blue is the real deal. I am selling a TRUE U13 bronco built in 1966 and as a bonus you get the hard top and doors.   I REALLY hate to get rid of 'Ol Blue, but I need cash to further develop my evolutionary website . Feel free to check it out and preregister AdFor.US. We will be launching Globally later this year.   I don't have to sell Blue.  But If I don't sell, I will have to delay  AdFor.US  for a couple of months and work to earn the money to finish patenting and development.  

I purchased this truck in Georgia (no salt or snow) 15 years ago and have driven it across the country a couple of times. Blue is my daily driver and has been for nearly 6 months and 12 states.  After 8 years (mostly garaged in Nebraska, we drove up to Seattle, Washington (add 5 states).  We are on our way to Florida now, with a few quick stops.  Most of the work i've done to Blue is in the under carriage & externally. HOOKER HEADERS, with dual mufflers,  FRONT DISK BRAKES, Wild Horses 3.5 inch ROCK CRAWLER 11PACK LEAF SPRINGS, RANCHO 9000 five way ADJUSTABLE shocks all the way around. 23 GALLON STEEL FUEL TANK, matched Drop Pitman, Poly Urethane Bushings and Newish- 1yr-OPTIMA YELLOWTOP BATTERY (recharge even if 2VDC--Awesome!) I have also installed new upper and lower door rubbers. The rear driveshaft was custom reinforced by Atlanta Drive line. The front driveshaft is not sold with the truck as I lost it in one of my moves. I had a rubber undercoating sprayed on more than 10 years ago and it is still protecting very well.Less than 2k miles ago i added 2 brand new BF Goodrich A/Ts to the Hankooks (with 85% good tread)  on clean alloy rims. 

Original Floor pans and door jams are still about 96% there and can hold my 225lbs standing on them. I thought about patching the floor pan seams, but seeing them as they are is a testament to how well this 47 year old stallion is. Original Rocker and quarter panels are better than 99%. TRULY, THERE IS NO VISIBLE RUST ON THIS TRUCK!  I have parked this truck 3 times for more than a year and it's '69 Fairlane 302 V8 started right up. I have a double barrel Edelbrock carb on it, for fuel efficiency. In the last 6 months I have added or replaced:

65Kv H.E.I. distributor, 8mm wires & plugs 
New 3 core, Triple Flow aluminum radiator. 
Water Pump
Heavy Duty Clutch
Heavy Duty Dual Timing chain (Comp Cams) 
New calipers and pads 
New chrome power brake booster
New heater control valve
Upgraded (blade fused) wiring
Wiper Arms
Carpet

Also, I just had a new rust protective coating sprayed on the undercarriage, in engine compartment, in cargo area, inside hard-top, under hood and inside quarter panels. I have included some prep pictures to show how clean the oem metal really is underneath the 8y/o paintjob.
 
Ol' Blues' engine purrs like a lion. It was rebuilt just before I purchased and has been driven less than 15k since.  (Updated--  Installed new dual timing chain 08 February 2013-   [which means fresh engine paint, new oil, new coolant.]  Check out the pictures and video on facebook @ Bronco N Buck.) He's quick and nimble.  I JUST POSTED ON THE ROAD PICTURES on the fb page.  See for yourself what Blue can do!

This truck is 75% done. Only easy stuff left to do. What it needs- (optional) power steering ** complete kit on ebay right now for $600 ** , a/c, wheel spacers, new fender flares (or repair the ones that are included with truck) and Paint, ( note- after loading Blue down for the move to Florida, I noticed the drivers side rear spring and shock appear to be sagging and causing the tailgate to separate from the quarter panel and the back window is unable to latch because of this gap. The shock is under warranty.  I hope to have this resolved when I get to Omaha. I can only budget one repair/ upgrade at a time and this week I purchased windshield wipers to allow me to get through the mountain passes.)  

This IS a fantastic and rare investment. In ten years it will double in value.  It doesn't get better than this, put your tax return to good use.  EBR is becoming more and more popular.   We have 3 stops lined up en-route to Nebraska for potential buyers.  We are traveling on I-84 , I-680 through Yakima, southern Idaho, N. Utah, Wyoming, Denver,  I have had Blue listed on ebay for two weeks and we had over 6000 page views and 120 watchers in 14 days....  DON'T MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY!!!  I have had 7 best offers, 5 trade offers and Blue was even sold once at full asking price, but buyers finances fell short.   PLEASE HAVE YOUR FINANCES READY BEFORE YOU BID!! 

Extras that are included:
Doors, Steel Hard Top, Push Bar (original add-on), Rubber Cargo Mat, Dual CB Antenna's. Heavy duty Safari (cargo) roof rack and ladder. (500lbs), bikini top. I will also drop ship the original front seats and rear bench if I get my asking price.  (the driver seat leans, but all seats are otherwise in good condition), Foam headliner pad. 1965 FoMoCo radio

Thanks for looking!

Currently,  we just left Seattle this morning 4/15 and expect to be in Omaha, Nebraska  by the expiration of this listing.   I am willing to drive Blue ANYWHERE in the Continental United States for an extra $1k or less (depending on where).  

I recently started a facebook page for Blue and I, where you can see a couple of pictures and follow our moves.  Check it out and 'like' our page-- Bronco N Buck.    


Call Joel @ 402-210-9568 

(fyi)  I know people are trying to put the cash together for Blue, but you have to hurry.   If this listing goes much longer,  I will have more time by then to make and add videos and get much better photos.  I believe Blue to be worth at least $2k more than I have him listed for and when I find the time to get picture of Blue of a lift, videos, etc --- I WILL INCREASE THE PRICE.  Give me a call and let's see what we can work out. 

Jeep & Bronco people wave to each other when passing on the roadways...

Your official Ford Transit specs are here, $29,565* to start

Wed, 04 Jun 2014

Ford has released the full list of pricing and specs on its new Transit, the replacement for the long-lived E-Series cargo van. Prices are set to start at $29,565 and can increase rapidly from there, depending on length, engine and wheelbase, among other options.
Let's talk first about those new engines. The base is the familiar 3.7-liter, naturally aspirated V6. It boasts 275 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque and can return up to 14 miles per gallon in the city and 19 mpg on the highway. This engine can also be adapted to run on LPG or compressed natural gas. Of course, there are better alternatives, for a price, the first of which is Ford's well-received, 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. It packs 310 hp and a best-in-class 400 lb-ft of torque (available at just 2,500 rpm) while matching the naturally aspirated engine in both city and highway fuel economy.
Then, there's the diesel. With a 3.2-liter, five-cylinder diesel mill at its disposal, the Transit generates 350 lb-ft between 1,500 and 2,500 rpm, along with 185 hp. This engine hasn't been rated by the EPA, although we'd be really, really surprised if it didn't handily best either of the gas-powered engines in fuel efficiency. A six-speed automatic is standard, regardless of engine.

More evidence GT500-replacement will be named GT350

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

During the recent unveiling of the 2015 Ford Mustang, we saw the car in both V6 and GT form, but we'll have to wait a little bit longer to see the successor to the Shelby GT500. In the meantime, though, it looks like SVTPerformance.com has confirmed reports that this high-performance model will bring the Shelby GT350 name back to Ford.
According to the forum post, a user found the Shelby GT350 name on a Ford promo website listing its 2015 lineup. The Shelby GT350 name was first used on a Mustang back in 1965, and most recently it has been a model created for customers as a post-title purchase by Shelby American. As for that car, Shelby confirmed earlier in the year that its GT350 would be phased out at the end of this month.
The million-dollar question for Mustang and Shelby enthusiasts is when we'll see next factory Shelby GT350. Last we heard it was planned for a debut at the New York Auto Show. We've included our previous spy shots of this hi-po, sixth-gen Mustang, and we've also captured it on spy video showing off its exhaust note.

Ford F-150 King Ranch celebrates 'history and authenticity' for 2015 [w/video]

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

What's life like on an authentic Texas ranch? We honestly have no idea, having never lived on such a ranch, but we imagine it requires lots of hard work, grit and determination to keep all 825,000 acres - that's larger than the state of Rhode Island - of the King Ranch in Texas under control. Indeed, a total of 350 vehicles, all of which come from Ford, we're told, are currently in use by the ranch. No wonder, then, that the collaboration between Ford and King Ranch has lasted for 15 successful years.
For 2015, in celebration of that 15th anniversary, Ford is debuting three new King Ranch models today at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. The most significant is the 2015 F-150 King Ranch, which, naturally, will add unique interior and exterior bits and pieces to the new aluminum-intensive F-Series pickup. Color choices will consist of Caribou, Bronze Fire, Guard and Ruby Red Metallic Clearcoat, with a range of two-tones to go along with a monochromatic scheme in Caribou. Inside, a bespoke King Ranch interior will be swathed in Premium Mesa Brown leather.
Joining the F-150 King Ranch on dealership floors later this year will be 2015 King Ranch editions of the Super Duty pickup and Expedition fullsize SUV, all of which will offer similar levels of content. Scroll down for more details and two videos from Ford, and be sure to check out the high-res image gallery above, which was shot by the official State Photographer of Texas, Wyman Meinzer.
