 1971 Bill Stroppe prepared Baja Edition Bronco, rust free, highly optioned very nice Bronco.  This Baja is on the Baja Bronco Registry and is a highly optioned Baja. It had all of the standard options. Saginaw power steering (present), Stroppe lettered automatic transmission adapter (present), padded steering wheel (not present), Stroppe Deluxe roll bar (present), trailer hitch (not present), dual shocks (present), cut fender rear wells (present), trimmed front fenders (present), spare tire cover (reproduction), and front bumper braces (passenger side present).  In addition to the standard package, this Baja has a very cool Stroppe installed hood scoop. 

I found this Bronco painted green and the interior was brushed with asphalt emulsion.  It was horrible to remove but kept the original floorboards rust free.  The Bronco was given a paint job using Dupont Chromabase materials.  All the chrome, the bumpers, and all the lenses were replaced.  The suspension parts and axles were removed and all parts were powder coated when possible, otherwise painted.  A 2 1/2" suspension lift was installed with all new poly bushings and 8 new shocks.  The frame and underside of the tub were thoroughly cleaned and painted.  I found some vintage American Racing slotted aluminum wheels, had them polished, and put 32x11.50 BFG All Terrain tires on.  The seat springs and frames were powder coated and new foam and upholstery was installed.  The dash was painted its original parchment color and the pad was replaced.  

The engine compartment was cleaned, painted, the gaskets were replaced on the motor.  New valve covers, air cleaner, and exhaust have been installed.  Many other things have been done to this Bronco such as a larger after-market fuel tank and a dual motor wiper conversion kit.  A few custom touches have also been added to this Bronco.  Bronco Design Roadster style door inserts were installed with custom belt line chrome added to the inserts.  Bronco Design rear flares were put on, custom rivet-style bolts were used, and hood pins were installed to give it a super clean look.

Running gear on this Bronco is all in excellent condition.  The transmission shifts beautifully and the 351W is very powerful.  2 1/4" exhaust with glass packs makes this Bronco sound unbelievable.  This Bronco draws a lot of attention at car shows or driving down the freeway.  It looks and runs amazing, however it is 1971 technology and it's lifted with wide tires and a short wheel base.  Every time I take it out, it takes me a minute to get used to driving it.  Additionally this Bronco sits in the garage most of the time.  It has always run great for me but I only take it out a few times a year.  It's being sold as-is with no warranties.  The fuel gauge has stopped working properly.  The needle moves when you turn the key on but stays on E.  The rear main does drip a little bit due to sitting.  The radio is just a face plate only,  I did not need an AM only radio but like the clean look of the original.

This Bronco has performed excellent for me but I have only driven it to local car shows and parties.  The paint is about 5 years old so some rock chips and normal wear and tear has occurred.  Feel free to give me a call with any questions or to come take a look and drive it.  My number is 360-921-4278. 

Seller is responsible for arranging and paying for shipping.  My house is very near I-5 and there is a truck stop 5 minutes from my house for easy pick-up.

Ford reveals Fiesta ST race car, points at road ahead for bigger things in Global RallyCross

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

The 2014 Ford Fiesta ST doesn't go on sale until this summer, but fans of Global RallyCross will be able to catch the car in action before then. Announced ahead of the Chicago Auto Show, the Fiesta ST will be the car run by Ford GRC teams this season, and the model on display in Chicago will be the racecar built by Swedish tuner OlsbergsMSE driven by Tanner Foust and Brian Deegan. Ken Block and his newly renamed Hoonigan Racing Division will also be competing in the Fiesta ST.
The 2013 GRC season has not been announced yet, but the venues will also include the summer X Games events in Brazil, Spain, Germany and, of course, Los Angeles. Ford announced that it will be the sole automotive sponsor of this year's summer X Games, and it will be looking to bring home a gold medal this year after Block placed silver last year.
In other Ken Block- and Ford-related news, another Chicago debut will be a tuned Focus ST called the TrackSTer project. Built in cooperation with Block, Ford and automotive tuner fifteen52, the TrackSTer will get plenty of styling, performance and handling upgrades. Some of the add-ons include a performance exhaust and short-throw shifter from Ford Racing, a rebuilt engine, upgraded components such as the limited-slip differential, intercooler, engine controller and clutch as well as upgraded brakes.

Daimler consulting with Ford about 3-cylinder engines

Mon, 27 May 2013

Soon enough, Ford will offer its 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder engine under the hood of the Fiesta here in the United States, building on the success of the small powerplant overseas. In fact, this success has caused other automakers to take notice, and according to Automotive News Europe, Daimler is now talking to Ford about this engine for use in its own products.
In other markets, Ford offers the 1.0-liter mill under the hood of the Focus (we had the chance to sample this package on our home turf), as well as the B-Max MPV. For this new collaboration, Daimler would use the turbo-three in the next-generation Smart ForTwo, as well as the Renault Twingo, which the German automaker will be collaborating on as part of its alliance with Renault-Nissan. Speaking to AN, a Mercedes-Benz engineer called the 1.0-liter mill an "interesting and impressive engine."
In exchange for details about the EcoBoost inline-three, Daimler will supply Ford with information regarding its Euro6 stratified lean-burn gasoline engine, which is found in the new E-Class sedan.

Ford settles class action suit over defective Navistar diesel engines

Fri, 25 Oct 2013

The 2003 Ford F-Series Super Duty (shown above) introduced the 6.0-liter Power Stroke diesel supplied by Navistar, and while that is an engine Ford would love to forget, it's now one step closer to putting that particular problem behind it. Automotive News is reporting that Ford has settled a class-action lawsuit brought on by problems with this engine that started right out of the gate and ultimately broke up the 30-year relationship between Ford and Navistar.
Owners and lessees of 2003-2007 Super Duty trucks and E-Series vans equipped with the 6.0-liter Power Stroke are eligible for deductible reimbursements of between $50 and $200 from the original five-year/100,000-mile engine warranty, while Ford is paying out as much as $825 for out-of-warranty engine repairs. These repairs may include the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooler, EGR valve, oil cooler, fuel injectors and turbocharger, but are only covered if the components failed before six years or 135,000 miles.
In total, Ford has agreed to pay about 50 percent of the value of the repairs and deductibles paid by its customers who submit a claim before the end of this year, and $150,000 is going to the 16 named plaintiffs in the case; Navistar was not included in the lawsuit.
