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.

Ford Fiesta rally car warms up in Sweden

Tue, 18 Mar 2014

Rallycross is seeing a sudden surge in popularity with two series bringing the racing to the US and Europe. The Ford OMSE team is competing in both championships this season, and it saw no reason not to hold practice with a highly modified Fiesta in the snow of Northern Sweden. It brought together Andreas Bakkerud from the European-focused FIA World Rallycross Championship and Patrik Sandell from the North American-focused Global Rallycross series for some training and fun. They certainly appear to be enjoying themselves, too, with some lovely pirouettes in the powder.
If you're unfamiliar with rallycross, the discipline combines the best of rallying and circuit racing. Drivers (with no co-drivers) race rally cars over a circuit that generally mixes dirt and asphalt, and unlike traditional rallying, multiple cars compete side-by-side at once. Even better, it's often a very two-fisted form of motorsports with lots of car-to-car contact. Global Rallycross and World Rallycross will both kick off their seasons in May. With spring on the way, scroll down to watch the Fiesta kick up some of the last snow drifts of the year.

2015 Ford Focus

Tue, 14 Oct 2014

Sitting down at the pre-drive briefing with Ford engineers ahead of sampling the refreshed 2015 Focus, water bottles clinked as we wet our whistles before Q&A. While pouring a glass, we noticed something stamped on the bottle label: "1L." One liter. We were palming the exact displacement of the EcoBoost engine our group was about to drive. This was undoubtedly coincidence (such bottles litter every conference and dinner table in Europe) but it served to drive home just how small the total swept volume of Ford's wunderkind powerplant really is. It's tiny.
Of course, this isn't our first run-in with the little triple - we've sampled its turbocharged charms before in Ford's smaller Fiesta. At that time, we found it had plenty of poke for the subcompact, but the larger C-segment Focus carries around another 450 pounds or so and pushes a wider profile through the air. Would the three-cylinder have the stuffing to make the most of the Focus' athletic chassis, or would it be a letdown? Would it be the same as it was when we tested it in a Euro-spec Focus a couple of years ago? There was nothing left for it but to head out on the bucolic roads surrounding Versailles the day after the Paris Motor Show and find out for ourselves.

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues

Wed, 28 Dec 2011

'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
