Uncut 1968 Ford Bronco 289 V-8 91k Miles on 2040-cars
Cedar Park, Texas, United States
|
First, look at all the Broncos that have cut rear fenders. I'm guessing 75% have the rear fenders cut. This is a restored 1968 Ford Bronco. This is not a frame off restoration but is very well done. 289 V-8 with 91,000 (believed to be original) miles. Rebuilt engine at 85,389 bored out .30 over (tried .10 but could not get the back cylinders perfectly round). No performance parts were installed, only tried to bring it back to factory condition. 3 speed manual transmission that shifts and pulls excellent. Clutch replaced and pressure plate resurfaced at 81,000 miles. 4x4 works fine and the truck is a serious head turner. Replaced both fuel tanks with polyethylene tanks and new sending units. Interior finished in original style and material. Frame cleaned, Loctite Rust Extend applied (not rusty, just precautionary), painted black. Floor pans are original and only had some small pinholes that were tack welded before front section was sprayed with bedliner. Interior rear section had no problems (not so much as a dent) and was only painted. Floor heat shield/matting applied before new carpet was installed. Truck is painted in the correct, original 1968 Ford Meadowlark Yellow as determined by the VIN in 2011. New door handles, door mirrors, lenses were installed. 3 core aluminum radiator installed. New fuel pump, carburetor, oil pump and water pump at time of engine rebuild. Power disk brake conversion installed in 2009 but master cylinder has leaked and caused paint to come off the fender as seen in the pictures. Flow Masters Dual exhaust and power disk brake conversion are the only items not original to the truck. It has a manual choke (I preferred this set up versus an auto choke on the carburetor). Fuel gauge does not work but it has two fuel tanks. I fill up when one runs out so I never worry about the gauge working. Vacuum wipers weak so I would replace with an electric conversion. Most of the interior knobs and cables have been replaced. New Goodyear Wrangler 235/75 15 tires with less than 1,000 miles. One small oil leak from dipstick tube in oil pan. I have owned this truck for 12 years and slowly had much of the work completed. It has a full hard top in very good condition but I did not restore it since I leave the Bronco in the garage with the top off. I still have some extra replacement parts as I bought more than one of many items such as door seals. I have the original front drums if you'd like them. There are a few nicks here but I have tuch up paint for when those mishaps take place. Insured at $20k through Haggerty Classic Car Insurers and they have to approve the amount of coverage requested. I would drive this truck across the country without any concern. It was my everyday driver when I first got it and drove it from Nashville, TN to New Orleans when I moved in 2002 in one day without any problems at all. It is currently tagged and inspected in Austin, Texas and I drive it about two weekends a month. I'm sure I've forgotten items that have been taken care of but I think you get the picture. You can email me with questions or if you prefer, give me a call (985) 774-9609. Bronco is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end this auction at anytime prior to the end of the auction unless the reserve has been met. Shipping, delivery and transportation of vehicle at buyer's sole expense. I can deliver to a shipping depot in Austin, Texas only. $500 non refundable deposit via paypal within 48 hours after auction close. Balance to be paid via personal check, money order, cash or certified bank draft within 7 days of auction close. Vehicle released after all funds have been paid. Clear Texas title ready for transfer. Thanks for looking. Phil |

'Blood Muscle' auction to sell impressive collection of ill-begotten classic cars
Wed, 30 Jul 2014The old saying goes that if you can't do the time, don't do the crime. But being a criminal can involve more than just taking a trip to the big house; it can also mean losing possessions purchased from any ill-gotten gains. Still, one man's loss is another's gain, and if you're in Lodi, NJ, on September 12, you stand the chance to buy some of the ultimate muscle cars from the US Marshals in what is being gruesomely nicknamed the Blood Muscle auction.
The grisly moniker was earned because all of the vehicles belonged to the president of a blood testing company who is facing prison time for alleged bribery, according to Hemmings. After all, they are muscle cars bought with actual blood money. The seven-vehicle collection includes some of the ultimate muscle cars ever made, and the original buyer clearly had an eye for rarity.
This cornucopia of V8 power includes a teal 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429, a 1967 Shelby GT500 Mustang, an orange 1970 Plymouth Superbird, a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS convertible and perhaps most prized of all - a trio of 1969 Yenko Chevys with a Chevelle, Nova and Camaro all represented. From the included photos, all of them look to be in fantastic condition.
Leno drives Henry Ford II's all-original '52 Ferrari 212 Barchetta
Tue, 17 Jun 2014The story of the relationship between Henry Ford II and Enzo Ferrari is absolutely fascinating. The two great men of the auto industry had what appeared to be a burgeoning friendship until Ferrari pulled out of a deal to sell his company to Ford in the '60s. The latest car featured in Jay Leno's Garage is a 1952 Ferrari 212 Barchetta that tells the very beginnings of that story.
This Prancing Horse was a gift to Ford from Enzo when the two companies were first thinking about merging, according to the curator of the Petersen Automotive Museum. Ferrari really wanted to show off its best so instead of the 212's normal V12, this car was fitted with the larger 2.7-liter unit from a Ferrari 225. The car has been almost unaltered since then. It still wears its original paint, and it's tires date back to 1954.
The great thing about the Petersen is that unlike a lot of auto museums, the people there actually drive the cars and keep them in working order. Once on the road with Leno behind the wheel, this Ferrari really sings. Unfortunately, he can't open it up too much because the 60-year-old tires really hold things back. Scroll down to watch this amazing piece of automotive history and learn it's possible effect on the styling of the original Ford Thunderbird.
Detroit 3 to implement delayed unified towing standards for 2015
Mon, 10 Feb 2014Car buyers have a responsibility to be well-informed consumers. That's not always a very simple task, but some guidelines are self-evident. If you live in a very snowy climate, you generally know a Ford Mustang or Chevrolet Camaro might not be as viable a vehicle choice as an all-wheel drive Explorer or Traverse, for example. If you want a fuel-efficient car, it's generally a good idea to know the difference between a diesel and a hybrid. But what if it's kind of tough to be an informed consumer? What if the information you need is more difficult to come by, or worse, based on different standards for each vehicle? Well, in that case, you might be a truck shopper.
For years, customers of light-duty pickups have had to suffer through different ratings of towing capacities for each brand. For 2015 model year trucks, though, that will no longer be a problem. According to Automotive News, General Motors, Ford and Chrysler Group have announced that starting with next year's models, a common standard will be used to measure towing capacity. The Detroit Three will join Toyota, which adopted the Society of Automotive Engineers' so-called SAE J2807 standards way back in 2011.
The standard was originally supposed to be in place for MY2013, but concerns that it would lower the overall stated capacity for trucks led Detroit automakers to pass. Ford originally passed, claiming it'd wait until its new F-150 was launched to adopt the new standards, leading GM and Ram to follow suit. Nissan, meanwhile, has said it will adopt the new standards as its vehicles are updated, meaning the company's next-generation Titan should adhere to the same tow ratings as its competitors.
