For sale is an uncut 1970 Ford Bronco with removable top. Mileage reads 117,000, however, I'm not sure if that is correct. I purchased this from an older gentleman in Georgia whom was a mechanic. He was meticulous with the engine which is evident in how well it drives. It starts up easily and the steering, clutch, and breaks work great. There are no fluid leaks and does not pull to the left or right. All lights and windshield wipers work. When you press the windshield wiper water knob you can hear the motor working, but I am waiting for the new solvent bottle to install. Windows open and glide smoothly including the back hatch. It has the original a.m. radio, but it does not work. I have installed a new speaker for it. Also, the horn is not working. I have owned several Bronco's and by far this is the best running one I have ever owned and it looks great, too.

Prior to purchasing it there was some body work done and I picked up where the previous owner left off. I had a paint and body company do the work for me and they replaced one striker plate on drivers side and fixed several dents. This Bronco has minimal bondo for a 43 year old truck. There was a crude weld job done on the hard top on front drip edge. It can be seen in one of the pictures. There are a few spots under the truck that have surface rust, but are not structural. Some of the undercoating applied many years ago is chipping off. A few dings and minor dents still exist, but over all looks beautiful. The truck is solid. I wanted to keep the truck as original as possible and painted it Color Code K which I believe is the original color. Someone told me the name is Carmelized Bronze. I also painted the rear wheel rack which is missing one of the hinges. Rhino guard was applied to the floor which is solid with no rust. The hard top inside and out, bumpers, and door panels were all painted and clear-coated when the truck was re-painted. There are a few rubber gaskets missing and the backseat does not have its armrest pads which are inexpensive to purchase. Anything needed for this truck can easily and affordably be purchased through one of the many Bronco catalogs.

The following have been replaced in the past 18 months:

four new radial tires
three new seat covers
battery
two rubber seals for both doors and two rubber seals above door on hard top
water solvent bottle
carburetor rebuilt
fuel filter replaced
new thermostat assembly
new brake drums and shoes all the way around
new master cylinder
new brake hardware kit
all new brake lines
all new break cylinders
new dash cover

This is a very dependable, strong running truck. It will not disappoint and is fairly priced. Super fun to drive! Has to go to make room for a new project.

This is being sold "as is". A deposit of $1,000 is due within 24 hours of auction end and remaining balance due within five working days from end of auction. Buyer responsible for shipping and truck needs to be picked up with 10 days of end of auction. Thanks for looking! You can view my Bronco on youtube at:

Ford ready to install GE Wattstations at 60 locations in North America

Thu, Mar 20 2014

Upper-level Ford executives are sending mixed messages about the power of plug-in vehicles, but in the companies parking lots across North America, at least, the signal is clear: come on and charge your EV. Today, Ford and GE announced that the Blue Oval will be installing Wattstation chargers at its Dearborn HQ and will then add units at more than 60 locations across the US and Canada, including "offices, product development campuses and manufacturing facilities." If you're a Ford employee, then you get four hours of free charging a day. That should be plenty to top off any of the company's plug-in vehicles, even the Focus Electric, and the time limit encourages drivers to swap cars at lunch, because Ford wants to encourage charging station sharing and get more employees to plug in. Ford doesn't mention the DOE's Workplace Charging Challenge by name in the release (available below), but we suspect these Wattstations are part of that project. Ford was one of the founding members, joining the Workplace Charging Challenge on January 31, 2013. On that date, the Ford Motor Company and Ford dealers had over 1,750 charging stations installed on company/dealer property. Ford, GE WattStation Chargers Support Employee Electric Vehicle Charging Network Ford to install its first employee electric vehicle charging station network in Dearborn, Mich.; facilities across the United States and Canada to follow Ford will work with GE as its network provider and supplier of electric vehicle charging stations; networked stations will help Ford understand charging usage and plan for future installations Ford electrified vehicles have logged an estimated 65 million electric miles over the last 18 months. Ford now offers six electrified vehicles, including Focus Electric, C-MAX Energi and Fusion Energi plug-in hybrids, and C-MAX and Fusion hybrid vehicles Ford Motor Company in conjunction with GE, will supply vehicle charging stations at Ford facilities nationwide, beginning with facilities in and around its headquarters. The announcement continues the innovative cooperation begun more than 100 years ago between Henry Ford and Thomas Edison, co-founder of GE. This month, Ford will begin installing GE WattStation™ charging stations across its North American campuses, developing a workplace charging network at nearly every Ford facility in the United States and Canada.

Toyota Camry, Honda Civic inventories mounting as US automakers make inroads

Thu, 11 Jul 2013

Two of the hottest-selling cars in America aren't quite as hot as they used to be. The Toyota Camry and Honda Civic are both seeing dealer supplies increase in the face of renewed competition from the much-improved Detroit Three.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the Camry's dealer inventory is 15 days higher than its seasonal average, while the Civic is 25 days above average. Things aren't expected to get better for Toyota and Honda, as RBC Capital Markets analyst Joseph Spak marked the two Japanese offerings as "at risk for reduced output."
The Detroit Three, meanwhile, are seeing supplies dwindle as demand increases, especially for the Ford Fusion, which has seen an 18-percent increase in 2013 sales, and the Chevrolet Cruze, which was second only to the Camry in June 2013 sales.

Ford Fusion production scaled back just 3 months after it was accelerated

Mon, 02 Dec 2013

Three months after kicking off production of the Ford Fusion at its Flat Rock, MI factory, Ford Motor Company is taking steps to trim output in the face of heavily discounted competition from Toyota and a growing supply of vehicles.
The addition of Fusion production in Flat Rock - which also builds the Mustang - was meant to be what pushed the handsome mid-sizer past its arch-nemesis, the Toyota Camry. An extra facility building Fusions was also meant to curb the growing demand for Ford's highly profitable sedan.
But with word that Flat Rock would take "approximately" one extra week off for the holidays combined with an 88-day supply of Fusions - reportedly due in no small part to what Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas called "aggressive discounting of the Camry" - some analysts are now beginning to wonder if Ford may have overextended itself by adding a second Fusion facility to the mix.
