1973 Bronco with a Harley Davidson theme....
This Bronco has just had a facelift within the past year. As you can see, it is a rust free solid Bronco that I purchased from its second owner who had the Bronco in Texas for over 25 years. He bought it from his neighbor, the original owner, who sold it when he needed some money in the early '80's. The Bronco had only 24K on this original motor when I purchased it from the second owner.
Being an avid biker myself, I changed the theme of this fun truck to please the Harley Davidson side of me. I have retuned and conducted a facelift on this truck to please most that see it. It is really sharp and runs like a champ. This engine is the original 302 cubic inch motor with a little over 26K on it now. It has loads of power! I have only maintained it and cleaned it up with new points, plugs and wires, new valve covers, and changed out the 2bbl to a 4bbl carburetor, and new air cleaner. It starts like a jewel without problems and has absolutely no leaks anywhere underneath it. I can't tell you enough how fun it is to take the top off and drive this powerful little truck! It steers on a dime with power steering that is very reactive.
I have the swing lever mount (painted up) for back spare tire to use as originally designed. New power brake system (works great).
One year old paint job (3 part DuPont system with two final coats on it)
HD logo seats with Marine/Boat grade material for no worries weather conditions.
36 inch tires with aluminum polished wheels and new fender flares on the body
New roll bar for the off-roading look and feel
Turned out duel exhaust for great sound and rumble
2 and 1/2 inch lift kit for more 4x4 clearance
New professionally installed Marine grade CD/Radio with IPOD capabilities of programming
Also, three Marine grade box speakers for no worry weather conditions.
New one year old vinyl canopy sport top cover for nice weather driving like a jeep that will keep the direct sun off you and the passenger
I hate to get rid of it and really am truly sad that I am selling it, but have way too many toys now and need to sell a few off to please my wife.
I will be happy to answer questions to only serious bidders. You can contact me at 217-325-3210 or on my cell @ 618-593-5129
Buyer will be responsible for pick up or delivery within a week of final sale. Seller reserves the right to end auction early as the vehicle is also for sale locally.

Jay Leno's Garage goes eco with Ricardo HyBoost
Mon, 17 Mar 2014"Now before you turn away, this is not another boring hybrid car thing..." Despite the slightly defensive introduction from Jay, the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage is actually pretty fascinating. The Ricardo HyBoost is a 2009 Ford Focus that has had a 1.1-liter engine swapped in for the stock 2.0-liter four. That might not get you performance enthusiasts out there fired up, until, that is, you hear that the 1.1L is also fed by both a turbocharger and an electrically driven supercharger for an instant-on "torque-fill" effect. Sounds about right, considering that Ricardo engineering is part of the genius behind the McLaren P1.
Perhaps most exciting of all, the Ricardo folks say that the package should run somewhere in the neighborhood of $1,100. A sort of performance-hybrid that makes sense for the frugal driver and the enthusiast one, then. There's a lot more to the HyBoost, all of which can be seen in the video below.
First 1K next-gen Mustangs to carry 2014 1/2 model year?
Thu, 18 Jul 2013A new report from Mustangs Daily, citing insider sources at Ford, tells us that the Blue Oval will produce 1,000 next-generation Mustangs with the model year designation of 2014 ½, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the storied marque. The commemorative half-year designation is a rumor that's been swirling in Mustang forums for quite some time now, and seems more plausible than ever with this most recent report. Certainly it's not far-fetched to believe that Ford will want to make a big deal of the golden anniversary for its most-loved model.
The story (compiled by Drew Phillips, who runs the aforementioned Mustang site when he's not directing the photography on these pages) goes on to say that the limited-run cars will be the first built on the new Mustang platform internally known as S550 (and spied testing in the attached gallery). Each car is said to carry a "special" VIN and build number, though no performance upgrades versus the 2015 cars to follow are in the works. A collector's dream then, rather than a weekend racer's.
US Air Force Thunderbirds Mustang fetches $400K at auction
Wed, 07 Aug 2013For the last six years, Ford has created a special version of the Mustang with a military aviation theme, and then donated the car to the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) to be auctioned off at the annual AirVenture event, also known as The World's Greatest Aviation Celebration. The money raised goes to the EAA Young Eagles program to inspire the "aviation pioneers of tomorrow," and this year's 2014 Ford Mustang GT US Air Force Thunderbirds Edition was won with a final bid of $398,000.
Celebrating 60 years of the USAF's Thunderbirds, this Mustang GT is the only one of its kind with a paint job matching the Thunderbirds' F-16 Falcon jets and some Ford Racing performance added on for good measure. Including this car, Ford has helped raise around $2.3 million for the charity with the biggest auction price coming from the first year of the program, the F-22 Raptor-inspired Mustang AV8R from 2008, which sold for $500,000.
