FOR SALE to the highest bidder - my 1971 Ford Bronco.

It has a freshly rebuilt 302 V8 motor less than 250 miles ago.
New pistons ( engine block bored .030+) and rings, cam, cam bearings, lifters, timing set, rod and main bearings -( crank machined - .010 and .010.) , new freeze plugs, valve guides, valve job done, all new seals and gaskets, oil pump, oil and temperature sending units, thermostat, water pump, radiator rodded and boiled with pressure test, new heater core, radiator and heater hoses, new coolant recovery system, new belts, rebuilt starter and alternator, 2 barrel carburetor rebuilt with electric automatic choke added, new fuel pump, fuel filter with all fuel lines and tank filler hoses replaced, new air cleaner, PCV valve, coil, spark plugs, spark plug wires, MSD electronic ignition distributor. New clutch assembly. New front and rear drum brakes, new shocks front and rear and a new steering stabilizer. New Painless Wiring kit, specific for Ford Bronco. Virtually the entire wiring system has been replaced including the wiring loom in the steering column. The sending units in the gas tanks tested within normal limits, so I didn't replace them, both work and switch on the dash with the manual tank switch at the base of the front driver's seat. All fluids were drained and replaced and all zerks and bearings were packed or lubed. The previous owner had replaced the 3 speed transmission with a 4 speed NP435, it shifts great. Transfercase is a Dana C20, front differential is a Dana 44 with warn hubs and rear end is a Ford 9 inch. Drivelines and Ujoints are good, no vibrations and feel tight. The truck has dual exhaust glass pack mufflers, tires are BF Goodrich and are fair. Paint is ok for a 42 year old vehicle with what appears to be one re-paint, it used to be green. It does have chips, scratches, faded spots etc... some call it "Patina". I have a brand new complete weatherstrip kit for the doors and top,( from Tom's Bronco Parts), that will be included with the sale. I replaced both driver and front passenger seat foam rubber cushions and installed new upholstery kits, the rear seat looked ok. I installed new door latches, window cranks and rear hatch struts plus many, many other little repairs and fixes. It doesn't have a radio, but the Painless kit wiring is all there, very well marked and ready to go. The dash had been cut for a stereo at one time, so I covered the hole. The only thing that isn't hooked up is the horn button, as I didn't have all the necessary hardware for it. This is a very sound rust free body, no rust out anywhere, just a few surface rust areas in the floor boards that I could see. Someone layed fiberglass mesh on the front floor boards, it could be replaced or redone, maybe Herculiner or something like that. Please see the pictures showing the inside and also the under carriage. This little truck is really fun to drive and gets looks and comments wherever I go. Ready for camping, beach , hunting, you name it.
If you have any questions please email through ebay and I'll try to answer as soon as possible. Thanks for looking. Vehicle is sold AS- IS.
On Jul-27-13 at 20:55:39 PDT, seller added the following information:
The electronic ignition distributor is a Mallory and not MSD. Also, it will have a few more miles on it by the auction's end, as I am driving it. Thanks for looking.

Revisiting the 2008-09 auto bailout that saved GM and Chrysler
Fri, Sep 2 2016The Federal Reserve stayed open late on December 31, 2008. There's almost no way you could remember that because barely anyone knew at the time. But General Motors had to pay its bills, and the Fed wired money so GM could still buy things in January. Without those funds, the nation's largest automaker wouldn't have seen much of 2009. It's one of many heart-stopping moments that illustrate just how close Detroit's Big Three came to extinction nearly a decade ago. They're chronicled in a new movie, Live Another Day, premiering in theaters September 16. Filmmakers Bill Burke and Didier Pietri interviewed nearly all of the key executives, federal officials, and union chiefs to recreate the auto industry's most perilous period. The movie begins in the aftermath of Lehman Brothers' demise amid the global financial meltdown. Things looked bleak for American carmakers, and their CEOs were laughed off Capitol Hill when they sought a Wall Street-style bailout. "It was a feeling that it was the end of the world," Pietri told Autoblog in an interview where he and Burke previewed the film. Saved by last-minute loans authorized by the Bush Administration after Congress refused to act, Detroit staggered into 2009 with a faint pulse. Live Another Day illustrates the downward spiral that played out that winter as President Obama and his task force – with little prior knowledge of the auto industry – wrestled over the fate of hundreds of thousands of jobs. GM's longtime CEO Rick Wagoner was fired in March. Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne suddenly appeared as a savior for Chrysler, with his own motives. Obama rejected restructuring plans from the automakers. Chrysler declared bankruptcy on April 30. GM followed June 1. The sequence was very public, but Pietri and Burke showcase lesser-known events that shaped the outcome. They also seek to dispel the notion that the government rescued GM and Chrysler from incompetent leaders. "We never subscribed to the theories that the management structures of the companies were a bunch of idiots who didn't know what is going on," Pietri said. At one point, Chrysler executives were negotiating with Marchionne and Fiat. Unbeknownst to them, the government was having its own talks with the Italian automaker. The filmmakers also cast light on the bankruptcy process, which was shredded to shepherd two of America's industrial icons through reorganizations.

Ford bringing production F-150 to Detroit with Atlas styling and Alcoa blast shields
Fri, 27 Dec 2013According to a report in Bloomberg, the 2015 Ford F-150 will indeed be showing up at the Detroit Auto Show next month. It will bring attitude with it, not only in the form of sheetmetal inspired by the Atlas concept (pictured) that appeared at the 2013 Detroit show but also in the Alcoa military blast shields among the display being used to showcase the ruggedness of aluminum.
There's been a lot of talk about the F-150 switching to aluminum body panels (although maintaining a steel frame), and for good reason. The lightweight body is expected to shed more than 700 pounds and greatly increase its highway mileage, but production-line issues and possible delays have been a major focus of attention concerning the best-selling vehicle in America for 32 years, meaning Ford has to get it right. F-150 is responsible for a massive portion of the company's global profits and it will come in a year when company profits are already predicted to decline because of new car launches.
When it comes to dings, the Bloomberg story says Ford wants Alcoa to supply some of the military-grade aluminum it uses for blast shields on battlefield vehicles to help it talk up the toughness of aluminum. Reading commentary on the many stories about the F-150 reveals there are many more little questions about the aluminum overhaul, like "How much will it cost to repair and insure?" and "How will companies hang their magnetic signs?" Answers should start coming in a couple of weeks.
