I purchased this from the grandson of the original 1970 purchaser. Approximately 1000 miles put on it since 1991 (maintenance sticker is on the door dated 1991 with 32,500 or so miles logged; the grandfather passed away shortly after). Always garaged since new. Grandpa used it for rock hunting hobby in Wyoming (only in the clear weather times). He also had an International 4x4 truck that was used for most transportation & some rock hunting.
There is a wood shelf mounted that Grandpa had for his dog to sit on behind his head (can be removed). A grab handle is on the passenger side of the dash which was for Grandma to pull herself into Bronco. Grandpa also must have discovered black spray sealent as you can see in the engine compartment. Sealed any possibility of air leaks around all cables, etcetera. He also kind of shielded areas where rocks might grab in the tires, fly up, scratch or dent the underside. As mentioned he'd go 4 wheel'n to look for his rock gems. Where there's rocks there's pebbles which get caught in tire tread & fly. He probably had more rough ready tires at that time. The 4x4 hubs lock/unlock and works. The floor 4x4 engager is stiff, but gets all ranges. 1000 miles since 1991 needs some lube spraying for sure. No water leaks, overheating, or oil smoke (at start up or driving). All gauges work correctly. I have not tried the tank switch yet (not sure how it works but will read up on it). Everything works (lights, roll up windows, forgot to push horn to fry-will report when know). Glass is almost perfect with the windshield having two BB/stone spots on the passenger side, but all clear/no cracks/no fogging/no seperation. According to the grandson, the top has never been off and the windshield has never been down. The rear hatch lift window & tailgate work as new. Locks all work.
Has two gas tanks, the original jack parts/spare, some small parts, two old type flares, four oil filters/old oil cans & an old fashoned magnetic trouble light. The original air cleaner assembly is included (original carb was replaced).

Other pictures are available including one of the original air cleaner (in excellent condition), engine, wheel wells, more floor areas, etc. Two locking gas caps w/keys are in parts (previous owner/grandson liked the blue painted caps. Grandson said he changed oil-filter. He drained the water system for most of the storage period after he inherited it. He added new antifreeze to the empty system a couple weeks ago do to selling decision. That decision was due to divorce. Other new items: shocks & fuel pump.

Michigan museum offers Model T driving classes
Sun, 29 Dec 2013Halfway between Detroit and Chicago, there is a car museum that gives visitors a unique level of interaction with antique cars. The Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners, MI has a driver's training class to teach people of any age to learn how to drive a Ford Model T.
From the crank starter to the column-mounted throttle control, this driving school teaches people all there is to know about driving and operating a Model T. Each class lasts about two and a half hours and is only open to 18 students. There are ten sessions planned for 2014 - twice a day on May 3, June 22, July 22, August 23 and September 14. The class costs $95 (or $85 for members), and it also includes a tour of the museum's automobile collection.
In addition to this driving school, the museum has plenty of exhibits on the property, and it's open all but three days per year (Easter, Christmas and New Year's Day) with free admission for school field trips and active military. Be sure to check out the Gilmore Car Museum's website or visit them on Facebook for more info.

Ford rethinking vehicle launch strategy
Tue, 07 May 2013With a new boss at the helm, Ford is looking at new ways to improve its vehicle launches in North America to prevent recent issues that have popped up with models like the Lincoln MKZ, Ford Escape and Ford Fusion. Speaking with Automotive News, Ford's new president of the Americas, Joe Hinrichs, revealed a few ways the automaker plans to avoid early build issues such as the engine fires on certain 2013 Escape and Fusion models and months-long delays for customers to receive their MKZs.
It sounds like the root of the problems may have been Ford's relationship with suppliers compounded by the fact that the product surge came on the heels of the recent industry-crippling recession, and in the AN article, Hinrichs says improvements are being made to reduce problems during the launch of new or redesigned models. Three such improvements that were implemented during the first quarter of this year including more rigorous quality comparisons, better use of computer technology to catch major problems sooner and hiring engineers to work closer with suppliers.
