First things first. This is a 1969 so its not a Stroppe. Its a clone put together back in the late 70's. Secondly, this Bronco has a special history to me and I didn't think I would ever sell it, but we've got to move to Washington state from Mississippi and I've got too many vehicles to move. Doesn't mean I won't move them, it would be better if I didn't have too. That's probably the reason I've been lazy doing some small items that needed to be fixed.
This Bronco began life in Salt Lake. It spent most of its time in the Las Vegas and Eastern California area before moving North to Idaho. It made its way to Vancouver, WA where I purchased it after a short 8 or 9 month stay (the Bronco, not me). After a brief inspection,oil change and new set of 33" Maxxis Bighorn's, we set out for Mississippi. We left Vancouver, traveling down through Oregon, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas and finally Mississippi. The trip is recounted in issue 54 of Bronco Driver Magazine. Other than a loose connection on the battery and jumping out of 2 high in the transfer case it made the trip trouble free, getting 15.5 mpg. We spent some time offroading in the Mt. Carmel, Utah area searching for slot canyons. We covered 3044+ miles for the trip.
As for the Bronco, it has a good solid body. The only area of rust through I've found is a repaired area in the seam under the accelerator and brake pedals. I'll touch on the transfer case later but I opened up a small area in the floor to change out the shifter. This will need a cover plate installed. There are some dings in the body that will need some attention. The paint is tired and needs to be freshened up. Or you could do like me and just drive it. All the glass is good. All the doors open and close properly with new locks installed. The top is nice and the hatch opens and closes properly and it locks also.
The interior had some of the infamous "racing" bucket seats in it when I got it. It now has seats from a Taurus with the drivers seat being power. Let me say, I'm on the short side and also I like to sit higher up so I can see the front of the truck especially on trails. So the seats sit a little high for most probably. They're mounted to a frame work and bolted in place so could be easily removed and replaced if wanted. I didn't hook the power up permanent to the seat yet. The dash pad has a piece of material glued to it so I'm assuming its bad. All the instruments and controls with the exception of the fuel gauge (surprise, right) work. Both sending units are bad. Both tanks are good with no leaks. The wiper cover is in place and the wipers work great. I've put the Cherokee wiper arm conversion with conventional wiper blades on it. The headliner was painted sometime in the past and is flaking off now.
As for drive train. It has a 302, with a C4 automatic. Remember this is a 69, so I don't know when this transmission conversion was done. It was done with factory parts and looks nice. It has a Dana 30 in front and a 9" in the rear with 3:50 gears. I can't say what's in the differentials traction wise. I would assume they're open. The tires are 33" Maxxis Bighorns with less than 3500 miles. The chrome spoke wheels have some light rust pitting.
When I got it, it was manual steering and brakes. Since then I've put power steering and power brakes on it. The power steering system came from Bronco Graveyard and the brake conversion came from Horsepower Sales LLC. Both work great and I couldn't be happier with them. At the same time I put a 79 Ford truck tilt steering column in. I haven't put the lower firewall seal around the column but I have it. It has Warn hubs on it.
Now for the transfer case. On the trip, the transfer case began jumping out of gear. I used bungees to hold it in place for the rest of the trip. When I got home, I replaced it with another case I had. It's hard to shift and I'm not sure I'm any better off with it than I was with the other one. I bought a rebuilt transfer case and it comes with the Bronco.
That's about it. All questions should be directed through Ebay messaging. If you want to talk directly, send your number and I'll call you back. I'm retired and available most of the time. I'll work with a shipper loading or should you want to fly in and drive it home I'll pick you up at the airport.
$500 deposit within 48 hours of auction end. Rest in cash at pickup. Cashier's check Ok, but must clear before transfer. IF YOU HAVE ZERO FEEDBACK, DON'T BID, I'LL CANCEL YOUR BID. NO EXCEPTIONS!!

The 1965 Ford Mustang could have looked a lot different
Fri, May 8 2020The 1965 Ford Mustang is unquestionably an automotive design icon, and nearly every generation of Mustang has some connection to that original car. Because it's such a universally-known vehicle, we were amazed to see all the different designs that were being considered. Head of Ford's archives Ted Ryan recently shared photos of design proposals for the original Mustang on Twitter that he and Jamie Myler found, and we reached out to them to find out more. As Ryan initially noted, the photos were taken on August 19, 1962, and they are proposals for the Ford Mustang. Apparently Ford had committed to doing a Falcon-based youth-oriented car at this point, and it did have plans to launch the car in 1964 for the 1965 model year. But after having little success with early design proposals, the company asked all of its design studios — the Advanced Studio, Lincoln-Mercury Studio and Ford Studio — to submit proposals. With only about two years before the planned launch, Ford was understandably short on time, and it's believed that the studios only had a month to create and present these designs. Lincoln-Mercury design proposal View 8 Photos The majority of the designs, a total of five, came from the Advanced Studio, and part of this was because they already had a couple of concept designs in reserve it could present. Two other models representing three design possibilities came from Lincoln-Mercury, and just one model with two options came from Ford. The Advanced Studio proposals are shown in the gallery at the very top of this article, and the Lincoln-Mercury and Ford proposals are in the gallery directly above this paragraph. The Advanced Studio's most radical design is the one that was clearly related to the Mustang I concept that would be shown later that year with huge wraparound rear glass, turbine-inspired bumpers and enormous side scoops. The other proposals from the studio were more conservative, featuring simple lines, grilles reminiscent of the Falcon, and one even borrowing the jet-thruster-style taillights made famous on the Thunderbird. Lincoln-Mercury had some impressively bold designs, particularly its fastback that had buttresses to extend the shape all the way to the tail. This car had two different side trim possibilities. The other Lincoln-Mercury design was toned down a bit, but had two interesting possibilities for side detailing, as well as some crisp, low-profile tail fins.
Ford Mustang GT350 seen and heard in motion for the first time
Fri, 27 Sep 2013We just recently saw our first spy shots of the next-gen hi-po Ford Mustang slated to replace the Shelby GT500, but now we're getting our first look - and listen - of prototypes captured on video. Mustang6g.com has the video (along with some different spy shots), which show that, if nothing else, SVT knows how to tune an exhaust system. The :50 mark is a good example of this, but fast-forward to around 2:00 where the driver revs the engine and really gets on the throttle hard taking off from a stop.
There's still no definitive evidence that the next-gen SVT Mustang - said to be called GT350 - will be naturally aspirated, but it sounds just as menacing as the current Shelby GT500. While the video posted below exhibits the sort of quality that is to be expected from someone driving while trying to film someone who is attempting to elude being filmed, it's still exciting to see and hear this new Mustang in motion.
Ford F-100 'Snakebit' shown off by Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed at SEMA
Tue, 05 Nov 2013Ford, along with KISS bassist Gene Simmons and his wife, Shannon Tweed, used SEMA as a backdrop to pull the covers off Snakebit, a 1956 Ford F-100 pickup truck that's been updated with Shelby Mustang-derived styling bits and a 5.4-liter supercharged V8 engine. All 550 horsepower are funneled through a six-speed manual gearbox to the rear wheels.
Underneath the custom bodywork sits a chassis that's been stretched five inches and a bed widened and bedecked with billet machined pieces that are supposed to look like wood. The 20-inch rear and 18-inch front wheels ape those of past Shelby Mustang models. The interior is swathed in two-tone leather with a bench seat designed to look - try to act surprised - like a Shelby Mustang.
Like what you see? Bidding for the truck will take place in 2014 at an unspecified Barrett-Jackson event (we'd assume Scottsdale). Proceeds will be used to help build a children's hospital in Saskatoon, in the province of Saskatchewan, where Ms. Tweed grew up. See the high-res gallery above and the press release down below for more.
