1986 Ford Bronco Ii Xlt Sport Utility 4x4 Diamond In The Not-too-rough on 2040-cars
Middletown, California, United States
|
Recently rescued from a few years of my family's outdoor under-the-pines storage here in the mountains of Northern California. Looking for a good home for this otherwise remarkably preserved Bronco II, showing almost no wear and tear. I don't want to see it spend another winter outside here... It is "NON-OPed" so there are no DMV fees here in California against it. It's the 2.9 L V6, "loaded" with an automatic transmission, air-conditioning, power brakes, power steering, power windows, power door locks, tilt wheel, cruise control and AM/FM cassette. This vehicle's been sitting and it will need some work before it can return to its former glory. Recent outdoor storage in a very moist microclimate has left it with the following challenges: Engine freeze plugs are frozen or rusted out, so the engine does not hold coolant but it starts right up and sounds fine and will run plenty long enough before it warms up to drive up onto a car hauler or trailer. The service brakes need the master cylinder & booster replaced but the parking brake works well enough for careful yard driving. In the very short distances that I have driven the truck, I have never exceeded 10 or 15 miles an hour, but there were no bad noises, the transmission operated normally, steering felt fine, etc. The undercarriage has minor surface rust, but everything is very solid. The only other things I have noticed is that there is a star chip in the windshield, unfortunately right in the driver's line of sight and one little "V6" emblem is missing from the right front fender. On the plus side, before this vehicle's recent poor storage it was mechanic owned and pampered. The body is remarkably straight. After vigorous massaging I found that the original paint still shines although it does have some damage to the paint and paint loss on the roof. The headliner is perfect and the rest of the very bright red '80's-style interior shows remarkably well with minor color fading to the tops of the door panels, but no noticeable wear anywhere. The interior is a bit dirty here and there and smells a bit musty but looks very good. I have never gotten around to cleaning it or airing it out at all. This vehicle is sold as is, where is. I have brought it to the fleet repair garage where I work. Please call the shop manager, Peter, at (707) 987-0254 Extn.22 with any questions or to arrange to see this vehicle or if you need more pictures. I can answer emails also. Transporting the vehicle will be entirely the buyers responsibility, but we are available to officiate at its loading. A non-refundable $500 Pay-pal deposit is required of the winning bidder. Balance due in bank wire transfer, pay-pal or cash in person.

2015 Ford F-150 enters production
Wed, 12 Nov 2014Ford has given the F-150 a dramatic makeover for 2015, switching to an aluminum body that helps reduce weight by about 700 pounds. Because the truck is dramatically different, Ford also had to change the way it makes the F-150, so we went inside its sprawling factory in Dearborn, MI, this week to see the Blue Oval's new manufacturing techniques in action.
The company has added 850 jobs at the site and upgraded its stamping and tool and die facilities. The body shop is also modernized, and it has been fitted with 500 new robots that join the structures together. The first 2015 F-150 rolled off the line on Tuesday, and the trucks will begin arriving in dealerships in December. Get a closer look at the F-150's unique assembly process in our video.
Leno chooses his top 10 Mustangs
Sat, 14 Jun 2014He may be a few months late to the party, but in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Ford Mustang, Jay Leno has delivered a short video in which he runs down which of the Blue Oval's pony cars from the past 50 years are his favorites.
The list is pretty darn similar to our own, with some of the big names from the Mustang's half century making an appearance, while there are three or four cars here that we think you'll be pretty surprised by.
Take a look below for this short video from Jay Leno's Garage.
Ford and GM link bonus checks to quality scores
Tue, 29 Apr 2014The poor first quarter earnings of Ford and General Motors are having an effect all the way up the food chain. Both automakers struggled with recalls in the first three months of the year, and, according to The Detroit News, they have responded by increasing the percentage of bonuses tied to vehicle quality for salaried workers, including top executives.
GM announced that 25 percent of bonuses (up from 10 percent) for all salaried workers would be tied to its vehicle quality standards. The automaker revealed in its financial report that it spent $1.3 billion on recall-related repairs in the first quarter, and net income was down 86 percent.
Ford also increased the quality proportion of bonuses for about 26,000 salaried workers all the way up to CEO Alan Mulally from 10 percent to 20 percent. The company announced in its report that the amount paid out in warranty and recall claims was about $400 million higher than expected in the first quarter. Its net income fell 39 percent from the previous year. "The change reflects how critical quality is to our overall business," said spokesperson Todd Nissen speaking to Autoblog.
