1968 Ford Bronco Half-cab Pickup 5-speed 5.0l V8-powered on 2040-cars
Missouri City, Texas, United States
Finished from the factory in Harbor Blue, the truck received a driver-quality repaint in metallic light blue with a black half cab and trim during current ownership. The weatherstripping, door handles, hinges, locks, limiting straps, and mirrors were replaced at that time, while the rocker panels were reportedly replaced during previous ownership. The front and rear fenders have been cut and spray-on liner has been applied to the bed. Additional features include an aftermarket rear bumper, wheel arch flares, side steps, a roll bar, and a locking cargo drawer. Areas of cracked paint are documented in the gallery below.
Black-finished 16″ MB alloy wheels are wrapped in 265/75 Cooper Discoverer ATP tires, and a spare is mounted in the bed. The truck is equipped with power steering, and power-assisted front disc brakes, and modifications include a 1″ body lift kit and an aftermarket front sway bar. The seller states the locking front hubs, brake lines, front hubs, springs, shocks, ball joints, bushings, and steering linkage components were replaced and the rear brakes have been serviced.
Bucket seats sourced from a Ford Focus Titanium are upholstered in black leather with silver stitching. Equipment includes a FiTech Go-EFI controller, Auto Airair conditioning, a RetroSound Bluetooth stereo, a B&M short throw shifter, and a center console with a locking storage compartment and cupholders. The dash pad, armrests, and vinyl floor covers were replaced by the seller along with switchgear, window cranks, door handles, and pedal pads.
A leather-wrapped Grant steering wheel frames Dakota Digital instrumentation including a 120-mph speedometer and an analog tachometer with a digital readout.
The 5.0-liter V8 was reportedly sourced from a 2001 Ford Explorer and installed by the seller. It is said to have received a replacement timing chain, distributor, belts, hoses, and oil and water pumps. Modifications include the following components:
Power is delivered to the rear or all four wheels via a five-speed AX-15 manual transmission with an Advanced Adapters kit and a dual-range Dana 20 transfer case, a Dana 30 front axle, and a limited-slip rear end. The seller notes the transfer case and axles were resealed and the driveshafts were replaced.

Toyota Camry, Honda Civic inventories mounting as US automakers make inroads
Thu, 11 Jul 2013Two of the hottest-selling cars in America aren't quite as hot as they used to be. The Toyota Camry and Honda Civic are both seeing dealer supplies increase in the face of renewed competition from the much-improved Detroit Three.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the Camry's dealer inventory is 15 days higher than its seasonal average, while the Civic is 25 days above average. Things aren't expected to get better for Toyota and Honda, as RBC Capital Markets analyst Joseph Spak marked the two Japanese offerings as "at risk for reduced output."
The Detroit Three, meanwhile, are seeing supplies dwindle as demand increases, especially for the Ford Fusion, which has seen an 18-percent increase in 2013 sales, and the Chevrolet Cruze, which was second only to the Camry in June 2013 sales.
Ford C-Max, Fusion hybrids subject of MPG lawsuit in California
Fri, 01 Mar 2013A California lawsuit over the fuel economy claims for the 2013 Ford C-Max was first reported back in December. Based on the numerous reports we've heard of disgruntled owners failing to get their car's EPA fuel economy ratings on the C-Max and 2013 Fusion Hybrid, we suspected there would be more to this story. The Detroit News is reporting that two California law firms are combining their lawsuits against Ford on this matter for "false and misleading" claims.
The article states that there are hundreds of C-Max and Fusion Hybrid owners who have joined the lawsuit, but the issue isn't limited to customers. In December, Consumer Reports extensively tested both the Fusion Hybrid and C-Max and found that both hybrids performed significantly worse than their EPA claims. This all comes just a few months after Hyundai and Kia took the unprecedented step of lowering the fuel economy ratings for all of their 2012 and 2013 model-year vehicles.
Hennessey Ford GT sets 267.6-MPH record at Texas Mile [w/videos]
Mon, 25 Mar 2013The record-setting Hennessey-powered camouflage Ford GT we showed you at this time last year headed back to the Texas Mile and managed to bring home yet another record. As you may recollect, last year saw Mark Heidraker's machine sprint to a record 257.7 mph thanks to propulsion from its twin-turbo 5.7-liter V8. The big mill sucks down race gas, and this year the creation pulled off a 267.6-mph run over the weekend. That feat set a new record for the event. Something tells us neither Heidraker nor Hennessey are done squeezing more thrust from this machine.
This particular Ford GT has already gone through a number of permutations. Hennessey started by tweaking the factory supercharger set up before abandoning the blower in favor of two turbos. Since then, the crew has poked and prodded it to coerce as much grunt as possible out of the car. We expect Hennessey will probably come out with a video of the record-setting run shortly, but in the meantime, you can see a couple of videos of the car's runs in Texas below (one of which actually captures the record run). Enjoy.
