Available is a rare Bronco. It's a 1974 Explorer edition only available in 1973, 74, and 76. This is the only way you could order an early Bronco with a Red/Red combination. The Ranger package didn't offer a Red interior. The color code is T which is Candy Apple Red, which is very rare. Most Explorers were Rangoon Red. You can tell how beautiful this color is on the door strikers, where there's no oxidation. This Bronco has a 351W with AT and PS. It is a barn find from Arkansas. I haven't washed or waxed it, I've only wiped it down, as they say it's farm fresh!

It has it's fair share of dings and dents, but the paint is ORIGINAL and it's ready to come back to life with a little (actually a lot) of wax. The tires are 31's on factory steel rims. The motor turns and has spark. I have not tried to start it yet, but the PO says it ran when parked (don't they all)!

It has a complete Koenig dealer option PTO winch. It's 100% complete, these have a resale value of $550-$600. The rear bumper is a dealer option too for Broncos. It has good brakes, the tranny and t'case shift fine. and the engine bay is complete. It is very solid and has very little rust. All sheet metal is usable and should be reused, including floors, doors, hood, tailgate, windshield frame, and kick panels. The frame has surface rust, not scale. It should clean up easy.

Too bad its cut, but boy is she solid. It's a great restoration project for the right person. There is no top. I have a decent top that I will include in the sale, the glass is out but included, and it needs paint. I'll also include an original Red Explorer rear seat in good condition. It is sold with a clear title.

Check out the prices on Ebay. There are 20K+ vehicles and junk! This one falls in between, which are getting hard to find, especially with the rare Explorer package, AT, PS, PTO winch and original paint!! Sorry the pictures are poor. Additional pictures for serious buyers.

All questions will be answered. Bidders with zero or negative feedback will have their bids retracted if you don't contact me first. I reserve the right to end the auction early as the Bronco is being sold locally as well. A $500 non refundable deposit is due at the end of the auction. Paypal is fine. Balance in cash or wire transfer. THANKS!

On Nov-13-13 at 19:47:58 PST, seller added the following information:

It was brought to my attention that I listed the title as salvage, that is incorrect. It has a clear title. I can send a picture of the title per your request.

I also had a question about the engine. The PO told me it was a 351W, it looks like the original 302 to me. I'll look closer and update the listing.

Ford Fiesta banned from SCCA autocrossing because of rollover risk

Wed, Jan 14 2015

Autocross can be a great way to break into motorsports, especially at SCCA events that allow run-of-the-mill, street-legal vehicles to be run through the cones in parking lots across the country. But while a wide array of vehicles are eligible, not every one is. And now the Ford Fiesta has been removed from the list of qualifying vehicles in the Sports Car Club of America's Street category for solo events. The removal of the Fiesta was publicized in the latest issue of the SCCA's Fastrack News bulletin, which stated that, due to roll-over risk, Fiestas "do not meet the requirements and are to be removed" from the HS category of eligible vehicles. H Stock (or HS for short) is the lowest category of vehicles certified by the SCCA for use in sanctioned events. The disqualification applies to Fiestas from the 2011 model year onwards, and does not apply to the Fiesta ST, which remains eligible. Of course the Fiesta isn't the only model deemed ineligible for SCCA autocross events. According to Jalopnik, other small hatchbacks and crossovers including the Dodge Caliber, Fiat 500, Scion xB and iQ, Nissan Juke and Mini Countryman are also prohibited from competition. We've reached out to both Ford and the SCCA for clarification on the issue, and will issue an update if and when we receive any substantial information.

Justin Bell makes a horrible policeman

Mon, 11 Nov 2013

If you're wondering what type of person makes a good police officer, it seems a racecar driver doesn't. Let us rephrase that: Justin Bell, a racecar driver and the host of Motor Trend's World's Fastest Car Show, recently got behind the wheel of a 5.0-liter Ford Mustang police car with Sergeant Daniel Shrubb, co-founder of DRAGG (Drag Racing Against Gangs and Graffiti), and proved that his high-performance-driving skillset is a bit too aggressive for police duty.
While it's easy to get carried away in a Mustang GT, a patrol car driver must maintain some sort of restraint while pursuing a criminal, so as not to come off as a reckless driver to the public. We'll admit, some pursuit techniques are counter-intuitive to performance driving (stay off the gas in a lane-change exercise?), but Bell's judicious use of the handbrake can't be normal procedure.
Watch "The One With The Ford Mustang 5.0 Police Car" (yes, we caught the Friends reference too) below to see some shenanigans in one of Michigan's finest patrol cars.

2015 Ford Mustang specs revealed, GT to pack 435 HP

Thu, 17 Jul 2014

The 2015 Ford Mustang sounds great so far - at least on paper. Ford has just announced specs for the latest version of the iconic pony car in Dearborn, telling Autoblog that it will pump out as much as 435 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque from its 5.0-liter V8.
Those gaudy figures power the naturally aspirated GT model, and they easily eclipse the "more than" 420 hp and 390 lb-ft that Ford originally estimated.
The 2.3-liter turbocharged EcoBoost four-cylinder makes 310 hp and 320 lb-ft, and it's the first turbo Mustang since the 1986 SVO.
