If you are in the market for a one of a kind custom Bronco that's a true head-turner look no further. This "68" half cab is one of the most fun rides I've owned; a perfect blend of classic nostalgia and modern styling. Black and beautiful the Bronco rides, drives, handles, and looks better than it did the day it rolled off the showroom floor. Powered by a Cropper Racing 383 chevy small block (Chevrolet engine; my power-plant of choice); performs flawless and sounds incredible through the Flowmaster super 44 mufflers. Engine dyno results were 468 hp 502tq @ 5500rpm and is built with Eagle rotating assembly topped off with Brodix aluminum heads and MSD ignition. Transmission and transfer case are Ford (bulldog) 4 speed and stock Bronco transfer case. The body started solid and was transformed into the lazer straight black panels you see pictured with billet accents and all new hardware and Smitty Built bumpers. The interior floor has been Rhino-Lined and fitted with new custom off-road seats; dash has been smoothed and fitted with billet insert and Autometer gauges, Ididit column and Lecarra thick grip wheel, a Tuffy console houses a Pioneer stereo and JL marine speakers. Complete wiring harness has been replaced with Cenco wiring kit; high performance lighting and LED tail lamps. Lifted with Wildhorses premium 5-1/2" lift kit (adjustable track bar) and disc/power brake conversion; Fuel 18" wheels wrapped in 35" Mickey Thompson MTZ's complete the madness! I really can't list in detail everything that has been done to this thing; it's pretty incredible. I have thousands of dollars in receipts and countless hours involved with the build; you honestly can't build it for what you can buy it for! Please message with questions; I'll be glad to provide a number for serious inquiries to reach me and discuss details. A few additional details: This is a first come first serve kind of business: As always: The Bronco is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at anytime due to local sale. Since this was built with no plans of ever seeing bad weather the heater and wiper motors have been deleted, but are included and can be installed; all required wiring is there to install. All gauges work, but the fuel gauge and speedometer are not calibrated. Buyer responsible for all shipping charges and arrangements; I will assist in anyway possible with the pick-up and preparation. Payment must be received within 7 days of auction end (I do not accept Paypal for large transactions such as this; cashiers check, money wire, or cash are the only methods of payment; payment must clear prior to vehicle shipment. ***If you haven't asked your wife yet; please do so before bidding!*** THANK YOU

Ford hiring 2,200 salaried US workers this year
Fri, 11 Jan 2013With its influx of popular new products made in the US, Ford Motor Company has announced that it intends to hire 2,200 new salaried workers domestically this year. This is the biggest increase of salaried workers for Ford in the last 10 years, and it is all a part of Ford's contract commitment to the United Auto Workers union to bring 12,000 new jobs to the US by 2015.
There were no specifics as to where in the US these job openings will be, but Ford did reiterate that it will be spending $773 million on equipment upgrades and capacity expansion at six plants located in southeast Michigan; as a whole, Ford is investing a total of $6.2 billion to its US assembly plants over the next couple years. According to recently appointed president of the Americas Joe Hinrichs, the new jobs will be focused on areas such as engineering, manufacturing and computer software. Ford will post its job openings online at careers.ford.com, and it will also use social media sites like Facebook and Twitter to recruit new workers, including military veterans.
Scroll down for more about Ford's planned job growth as well as how to go about applying for said openings.
2015 Ford Mustang prototype spotted on the street
Mon, 10 Jun 2013Our trusty spy photographers have snapped the first photos of the 2015 Ford Mustang prototype out on public streets. With nearly every square inch of the machine covered in heavy camouflage, it's difficult to discern details, but we can see smallish horizontal headlamps at work in the coupe's nose. Ford has made it clear that modern lighting technology will allow the company to get away from large, expensive headlamp arrays in the near future, and the 2015 Mustang may very well be the first of the automaker's products to bow with the new tech. The philosophy was first displayed on the very attractive Evos Concept.
The extensive cladding doesn't extend all the way to the prototype's rockers in the instance, giving us a look at the heavily-sculpted sills. Overall, this test car looks considerably smaller than the current generation Mustang, and elements like a short front overhang and beefy dual-piston calipers give us plenty of hope for the future model. Of course, reports that the 2015 Mustang will bow with an independent rear suspension and EcoBoost power certainly don't hurt our feelings, either.
Ford dinged by OSHA for asbestos at Buffalo plant
Sat, 20 Jul 2013Ford has come under fire from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) for violations regarding asbestos exposure in a company metal stamping plant in Buffalo, NY. OSHA has cited Ford for eight violations in total, according to an Automotive News report, and faces fines of up to $41,800. 537 workers are employed at the stamping facility.
The violations include a pipefitter at the facility being exposed to asbestos-containing material while working on a steam line, other workers exposed to the material without respiratory protection and work areas that were not designed to limited the number of workers in contact with asbestos. Further, areas in which asbestos was present were not properly restricted, and levels of asbestos in the air were not monitored.
According to an unnamed Ford spokesperson in the AN report, the company feels that the OSHA citation is erroneous saying, "We have fully cooperated with the local OSHA officials and we don't believe the citations are warranted." Ford also maintains that it will work with the authorities to resolve the issue.
