True un-restored and uncut 1966 Ford Bronco Roadster, U13 vin code.  Built in October, 1965.  Bought from original owner's son in 1994 in Charlotte, NC.  75,103 original miles; original engine rebuilt in 1999 but only 1,000 miles since then.  Has been in storage since 2000, driven occasionally until 2006.  Pulled out of storage last month, taken to the mechanic for a complete check-up, and then detailed.


To the best of my knowledge, the Bronco has never been wrecked.  I've certainly never wrecked it and I was told when I bought it, that it had never even been in a fender bender.  The gas tank leaks when full.

New high-quality, custom-made seat covers (front buckets and rear bench) to match the original factory spec vinyl, including gray color (only color available on the '66 models) and texture, installed in 2000.  Not sure if the paint is original (it's not been painted since I've had it) but is in very good condition.  Small, slight bubble rust under paint in one place on front right quarter panel, near bumper.  Slight surface rust on original floor pans; slight surface rust on the original bumpers.  When I say "surface", I mean surface.

Just had all fluids changed, new tires (235/75R15 Goodyear radials), new battery, new brakes, rebuilt master cylinder, new right front brake cylinder, new front axle seals.  My mechanic could not find a new distributor cap or rotor button, so it "bucks" a little on take off.

Less than 5,000 Roadsters were produced by Ford.  How many are still around?  And how many are still around in this condition...uncut, unmolested, and un-restored?  My guess is less than five.

Features:
  • original number-matching 170cid straight 6 engine
  • original 1-barrel carburetor
  • original lock-out hubs (rebuilt 1995) on the 4-wheel drive front axle
  • original oil bath air filter
  • original vacuum windshield wipers
  • original hub caps, plus 4 extra rear caps (unique to '66--not sold on pickups or any other vehicles)
  • original straight-end bumpers (unique to '66 and '67 models)
  • original driver side mirror (unique to early Roadsters, not an after-market one)
  • original "pencil" dash pad, with no cracks (unique to '66 and '67 models)
  • original eyebrow grill (only found on early production '66s)
  • original FOMOCO washer fluid bag
  • original 3-on-the-tree 3.03 manual transmission
  • original long-throw 4-wheel drive transfer case control stick with round ball head (only found on early production '66s)
  • original rubber transfer case boot (unique to '66 models)
  • original rear bench seat, loved by my kids when they were little
  • original black arm rests on rear bench seat (unique to '66 models)
  • original 15-inch wheels, including the spare
  • original rear tail light lenses (no "clear" reverse section; unique to '66 models)
  • original FOMOCO tail hitch
  • original fold-down windshield (hinged to fold flat on top of the hood, with a pin hitch to hold it in place)
  • original skid plate protecting the transfer case
The successful bidder must make a $250 deposit via PayPal within 48 hours of the close of the auction.  Full payment for the vehicle must be made within seven days of the close of the auction.  The vehicle will not be released until payment is received via bank transfer or other means acceptable to the owner.  Sale does not include shipping.  Buyer is responsible for all shipping arrangements and costs.

I have tried to provide an honest description of this Bronco.  I encourage anyone interested in bidding to view the Bronco in person, it is located in Pine Mountain, GA.  If you have any questions, please let me know prior to bidding.

This Bronco is sold as-is, where-is, with no warranty implied or given.


On Jan-28-13 at 17:47:51 PST, seller added the following information:

To answer a question I received...this Bronco came from the factory without "hard" doors and top.  It came with canvas doors (mounted on metal rod frames) and canvas top.  There are no door hinges, just holes to receive the metal rod frames at the bottom.  The current door frames are original; the canvas doors and canvas top are replacements the original owner did in the 1980's.


I've posted a picture from a few years ago showing the Bronco with the doors off and the top rolled up in the back and on the sided.  I have a picture somewhere of the top completely off but cannot find it right now; if I find it, I'll post it.

Lincoln trumpets $129M investment, 300 new jobs in Louisville for MKC

Tue, 26 Aug 2014

Remember when we used to talk about how close Lincoln was to being axed and how it seemed any day now the Grim Reaper would use it as a car service back to the grave? Last time we did it was, oh, not even a month ago. What a difference 27 days makes: Ford and Lincoln are trumpeting a $129M investment in the Louisville Assembly Plant that builds the MKC.
In July the MKC was the third-best-selling Lincoln of the brand's six offerings, beat by the MKZ and - by a much smaller margin - the MKX. It has sold 2,895 units in the two months it's been on sale, which is more than half the year-to-date sales of the MKS, MKT and Navigator. It's already important, is what we're trying to say, and this is before the Chinese market gets a crack at it later this year.
The money headed to Kentucky will be joined by 300 new workers, another marker in Ford's march to create 12,000 hourly jobs in the US by next year. You can read more about it in the press release below.

Are you a new Ford Mustang SVO? [w/video]

Fri, 16 May 2014

When Ford announced that its 2015 Mustang would arrive with a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, three letters came to mind: SVO. While Ford hasn't said a word regarding the rebirth of a Mustang SVO model, this latest set of spy shots shows us something very, very interesting. Allow us to explain.
The Mustang prototype in these photos looks very similar to the GT500 test cars we've spotted before - same bulging hood, aggressive front fascia and air vents aft of the front wheels. What's different, however, is around back. Have a look at the exhaust, and note that instead of the GT500's usual quad pipes, two of the exhaust outlets have been capped off.
Our spies point out that these exhaust outlets could be closed for some sort of emissions testing or another engineering reason, but it's also important to note that the engine and exhaust notes of this car sound completely different from earlier GT500 prototypes. We've got a video below that compares the two.
