See ad in pics. Some rust on hard top. Looks like shotgun buck shot above driver door and bondo on the outside needs repair. Driver side front corner of hard top has a broken seam, see pics. Driver door window broken ($60), and window frame weld broken where it meets the door. See pics. A new bolt in style window frame is $130. Some rust, not rot, around brake mount on firewall and on inner fender on pass side. Small oil and tranny leak, just gaskets from sitting. Small dent and chipped paint on tailgate from pulling a stump. Air/fuel mix is off. It just needs someone with tlc to do it. Power steering hoses leak and it will squeak when turned while not rolling. Steering box has play. The tires are 35/12.5x15. And are probably 10 years old. They still hold air fine and are fine for driving around town but are out of round from sitting and wiggle at hwy speed. They can't be balanced because they are out of round. It also has the 1969 inverted y tie rod set up with a 1977 Dana 44 disk brake up front and a 1979 Ford 9 inch in the rear. Manual brakes. There is no thermostat or radiator overflow. Antifreeze will come out the overflow hose, no overflow, but it never overheats. All the little things I've been meaning to do. I have a soft top but it should be replaced. I have soft door inserts, installed once, and soft doors, frames and canvas, never installed. A back seat in good shape, bottom of seat frame is bent from a "husky" friend of mine and some 4 wheeling. I also have the aux. Gas tank and filler neck. Stock tire carrier. Spare lift gate. And vinyl carpet kit with padding and molding, never installed. The truck has been used, not abused. It's a solid truck. Some light scratches and a cracked passenger side rear fender flare from some tight trails. It hasn't been wheeling or in the snow in atleast 6 yrs. It is pretty much the same as I bought it. It's an Ohio truck I bought 12 years or so ago. Stored outside, but in a carport which goes with it if you want it. I've tried to be as honest as possible. Not trying to get a fortune either. The Bronco just needs someone to use it. E mail me any questions. If you want to talk include your phone number. Thanks. It just kills me to see it sit. I just have no time to give it love. Needs a good home. With miminal work this is an awesome truck, I just don't have the time. ************ $500 Non refundable due 48 hrs from auction close. PayPal only.

2015 F-150 launch to curb Ford profits?
Thu, 30 Jan 2014Ford is making a big bet on aluminum with its new 2015 F-150, and it's possible that the decision will hurt the company financially, at least in the short term. After earning a record $8.6 billion in 2013, the Blue Oval does not expect to set another record in 2014. According to Automotive News, that's "largely attributable to F Series," says Bob Shanks, Ford's Chief Financial Officer.
To retool for the new F-150, Ford will idle its Dearborn Truck Plant in Michigan for 11 weeks and the Ford Kansas City Assembly Plant in Missouri for 2 weeks. "3 of the 13 overall weeks occur during what normally is our summer shutdown timeframe," said Mike Levine, Ford Trucks Communication Manager, in an email to Autoblog. The extra 10 weeks will be preparing for the more aluminum-intensive construction for the trucks and will mean over 2 months of no F-150s being made. For comparison's sake, Chrysler boss Sergio Marchionne just confirmed that the 200 plant in Sterling Heights, MI will be down for 30 days to retool for the new model, but obviously there are many more F-150 production variables than for the midsize sedan.
Levine notes that Ford is already running three shifts at both plants, and says the automaker has plans to ensure that there is adequate supply of the full-size pickups during the retooling process. The company does not want to suffer a shortage of the vehicle that accounted for 31-percent of its 2013 US sales and an even bigger percentage of its profits.
Ford Mustang GT Bi-Fuel CNG
Tue, 23 Jul 2013Highly intrigued, we recently visited a Southern California Gas Company office to check out several hybrid vehicles promising something new. Unlike more commonplace gasoline-electric hybrids, we were there to evaluate innovative gasoline-compressed natural gas (CNG) hybrids - yes, they run on unleaded gasoline and compressed natural gas. According to the experts on hand, this arrangement delivers extended range and reduced emissions while chipping in with lower operating costs than pure-gasoline vehicles. There are advantages over its gasoline-electric counterparts, as well.
The program is part of a three-way collaboration between The Carlab, a Southern California-based automotive consulting firm, Landi Renzo USA, a company specializing in alternative fuel solutions, and America's Natural Gas Alliance, a group that promotes CNG. Long story short, the team has engineered a way to allow a modified internal combustion vehicle to seamlessly switch between two fuels (gasoline and CNG) with no driver intervention. In theory, and if it works as well as promised, it's a win-win for the vehicle owner and the environment.
Parked at the Gas Company office were six different gasoline-CNG hybrid vehicles. To demonstrate the technology's versatility (just about any gasoline vehicle may be modified) Carlab brought a varied assortment of bodystyles, each from a different automaker. After taking a quick glance at the half-dozen in the parking lot, we made a beeline for the performance-oriented Ford Mustang GT - a 2012 model - with the six-speed manual gearbox.
MyFord Touch getting buttons and knobs back to counter criticisms
Mon, 17 Jun 2013Ford deserves credit for being a front-runner in offering advanced infotainment technology with its Sync and MyFord Touch systems, but continued consumer complaints over its confusing touchscreen interface and capacitive controls has made the automaker relent. The Wall Street Journal reports that physical buttons and knobs for controlling tuning and volume will be coming back to Ford vehicles equipped with the controversial infotainment system.
The 2013 F-150 with MyFord Touch gives us a glimpse of what the new layout with buttons and knobs might look like, as Ford says a similar balance of touch screen capability and buttons/knobs are what's being planned for future models. And, while capacitive controls have no fans in the halls of Autoblog, many of Ford's models with MyFord Touch do have a large physical knob for adjusting volume with integrated buttons for tuning and advancing tracks, though most of those are models with the optional upgraded Sony Audio system. Lincoln models with MyLincoln Touch, however, feature only capacitive controls for all stereo and climate functions.
Despite receiving enough complaints to throw buttons and knobs back into the mix (a move that reminds us of BMW's iDrive trajectory, among others), Ford reports that Sync and MyFord Touch have still been sold on 79 percent of its 2013 model year vehicles, a number it claims is double the rate that Honda and Toyota are getting for their infotainment systems. Ford also states that owners who do opt for the duo of technologies are more satisfied with overall vehicle quality than those who don't have it.
