1968 Ford Bronco on 2040-cars
Spearfish, South Dakota, United States
|
Up for auction is a 1968 Ford Bronco. I won't call it a barn find, because that term is used to loosely these days. What I have here is an old school bronco that was bought by a man to use to take his son hunting back in 68 and used primarily for that until the original owner passed away, and willed it to his son. He in turn gave it to his son, and I picked it up from the grandson with the intention of fully restoring it.But unfortunately to many irons in the fire, so if I can get enough out of it, I will let someone else give it a shot. Here is what I know about this rig. It has the original 289 V8 and the three on the tree. It starts, runs, and drives remarkably well. It has a dual battery set up, probably to power the 10,000# wench on the front, and the 4 wheel drive unit works fine also. It has rust all around the edges of the outside, as well as on the front floors. Not terrible but yet still there.It is pretty straight as far as the body panels are concerned. The rear tail gait has rust in a couple of small spots, and the door jambs and pillars are in great shape, as well as all the metal under the hood. The truck is complete and all original except for the cut rear fenders. I have not even cleaned the bronco out, because it is still in the same condition the old man left it, meaning it is equipped with many replacement parts that may go bad while out on a hunting trip. Such as tire chains, spare filters, belts, handyman jack hats,gloves,bullets,, and so on. Kind of creepy, but yet kind of cool at the same time. Any way, the bottom line is this old bronco has a lot of potential, and runs very well. The odometer shows 20386. Probably 120386. Please ask any questions you can think of, and I will try to answer them as best as I can. I have a clean and clear title ready for the new owner. Thank you.

Ford owns Automotive Loyalty Awards, Audi and Subaru are king of conquests
Thu, 23 Jan 2014Customers are a commodity in the automotive industry, and like any other commodity, automakers trade them back and forth. Only nobody wants to give up their customers - just to keep the ones they have and try to attract others.
That's what the Polk Automotive Loyalty Awards are all about. Every year the industry research body names the automakers, brands and models that manage to keep their customers coming back for more - and attract buyers to switch from other makes. Ford usually does pretty well, but this year it rose above even its own track record.
Not only did Dearborn win the Overall Loyalty to Manufacturer award, but also the Overall Loyalty to Make. Ford also took the African American category, and the F-150 was named the top full-size half-ton pickup in customer loyalty. Ford COO Mark Fields (pictured above) accepted the awards and gave the keynote address at the awards ceremony.
Ford recalling 65k Fusions from 2014 and 2015 because key can be removed
Tue, 18 Nov 2014Ford is recalling an estimated 64,869 examples of the 2014-2015 Fusion, Fusion Energi and Fusion Hybrid in North America because the key can be removed when the vehicle isn't in Park under certain conditions. Specifically, the campaign covers 56,479 units in the US, 6,048 in Canada and 2,342 in Mexico, according to the automaker's tally on November 11.
Ford says a programming problem in the instrument cluster means that the key can be removed 30 minutes after the ignition is turned off, even if the transmission is not in Park. The situation where this could happen seems quite limited, and the company is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to the issue. However, the fault puts the vehicle out of compliance with federal regulations covering theft protection and rollaways, and must be repaired.
The fix is easy: Ford will reprogram the instrument cluster at no cost to consumers. According to Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker in an email to Autoblog, "We will notify customers the week of January 5th." Scroll down to read Ford's announcement.
Reborn Ford Escort could make its way to Europe
Fri, 26 Apr 2013The Ford Escort concept just unveiled at the Shanghai Motor Show was created with the Chinese market in mind, but it's got people talking all over the world. Not purely fancy, the point of the Escort concept was to give Chinese buyers a preview of what they could expect to see in a Ford showroom in the near future. If Ford wasn't seriously considering the new Escort for other countries, a report in Auto Express indicates that the concept's reception has changed all that.
No less than the incoming chairman of Ford UK said "it could work in other places," bolstering the comments of "a senior Ford insider" who said the question of bringing the car to Europe to slot in underneath the Focus had been raised. That's a long way from anything of the kind happening, which would require Ford to figure out how to sell it for the right price and not torpedo the company reputation among Euro buyers. In any case, we'd be as intrigued as anyone if an Escort resurrection created the next 'who knew?' market segment of few-frills transportation offered by non-Asian carmakers.
