There isn't much to say about this truck but WOW. This is an original 1974 Bronco, not a restoration project. What you are looking at is exactly what left the factory in 1974 plus a lot of great upgrades. To build this truck as it is setup would run you well north of 45k if you could find a specimen this nice to start with. The owner is realizing he has a few too many toys and some of them need to go, he is also the owner of an excavating company and he knows how to treat his fleet. The pics speak for themselves. This Bronco rarely sees daylight, it is driven and shown a few times annually. I am helping to sell it, the owner is a very good friend of mine.

So what you have here is an original 1974 Bronco Ranger Edition. The body is rust free, there is one small spot of surface imperfection under the paint as seen in the pics. There is one small ding on the LR corner and  molding as seen (we are not sure when or how it happened but I don't like surprises when picking something up so it is pointed out.) This is the original interior fabric and carpet.
The original unmolested 302 still sits proudly under the hood, it now has a HEI electronic ignition. The hood was professionally reconfigured to accommodate the taller more reliable distributor. Standard 3 speed (on the tree) has never been touched other than oil service and shifts like the day it was purchased. Limited slip front and rear axles.
Vehicle is OIL UNDERCOATED (HEAVILY)

New Clutch w/ 19 finger modern pressure plate with disc flywheel and throw out bearing were installed (NICE)
Factory steering gearbox was replaced with 3:1 ratio.
Rancho Steering Dampener and Front Springs
New Rear Shocks
US Wheel Chrome Spoked wheels with BF Groodrich Radial T/A (Like New)

Factory Dual Fuel Tanks with Skid Plates

This Bronco is very well documented with ultra low mileage. Current Owner is the 4th owner, we have the original window sticker, owner's manual, brochure, sales invoice, registration, original title and many other related documents.
This Bronco is a very rare find in this condition. The vehicle is sold as is with no warranty but I can tell you this truck runs and drives as nice as it looks it is a real piece of American History and a treasure for a Ford Collector or enthusiast. The current owner has over 33k invested in this truck, the reserve will reflect that. Please no low ball offers, we are not desperate to move it . The truck is for sale locally and via other venues so this listing could end without notice. If you want to make a reasonable offer send it, the worst we can say is no.
All standard equipment parts  removed are included with the sale. The only thing we do not have are the stock wheels but we do have the original hub caps (not reproductions). The truck currently sits in it's stable in Castleton Vermont and can be seen by prearranged appointment. We would love to show it, please let us know if you are interested.
I would not hesitate to drive it home regardless of where home is. We will be happy to help with shipping or Export. We can also help with transportation to or from a nearby airport, however anything beyond the sale price of the vehicle is the responsibility of the buyer.
 
A 500 Dollar non refundable deposit is due within 24 hours of the sale. Completion and payment in Cash or Certified Funds is expected within 10 days of purchase.

I have provided the most accurate description I can and provided great pictures but remember this is a 40 year old vehicle. What you see is what you are buying there will be no surprises when you come to pick it up.
THIS VEHICLE IS SOLD AS IS WITHOUT WARRANTY.

2014 Saleen George Follmer Edition Mustang debuts at Lagun Seca

Sat, 17 Aug 2013

Saleen used the occasion of the race-fueled Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca to announce its new Heritage Collection Lineup. The event was punctuated with the debut of the collection's first member, the 2014 Saleen George Follmer Edition Mustang.
Follmer's name will likely sound familiar to fans of American racing in the 1960s and '70s. The driver competed in Formula One with the Shadow team in 1973, ran the Indianapolis 500, was the Can-Am champion in 1972 and drove stock cars in NASCAR's Winston Cup as well. The multi-disciplined driver is now one of three -the other two being Mark Donohue and Swede Savage - with the honor of upcoming, limited edition Saleen-tuned vehicles..

Ford dealer loses Super Bowl bet, pays $300K to lucky customers [w/video]

Tue, 11 Feb 2014

A Missouri Ford dealership's Super Bowl weekend sale cost it big when the improbable happened. Hutcheson Ford ran a promotion from January 29 to February 1, called the Super Weekend Sale. The gist was, if any customer purchased a vehicle between those dates and either the opening or second-half kickoff of the big game was returned for a touchdown, the dealership would refund the purchase price.
In the dealership's defense, it seemed like a safe bet. According to the mathematicians, there was just a 2.5-percent chance of either half opening with a touchdown return. But that didn't stop Seattle's Percy Harvin from doing his part to ruin Denver's evening, returning the second-half kick for an 87-yard touchdown run. Twelve Hutcheson customers were eligible for refunds thanks to the return, with prices ranging from $10,000 to $55,000, according to Automotive News. The total amount shelled out by the dealership? $300,000.
"At least we're not like that furniture guy that lost $7 million," dealership marketing manager Kathleen Frazier told AN. We think it was a big success." The dealership did take out insurance to cover its losses, meaning the $300K won't come entirely from its pockets.

Ford readying 2015 F-150 drift truck for SEMA

Sun, 19 Oct 2014

Between the Mustangs you'd find in Formula D and the Fiestas in the Global and World rallycross championships, there's no shortage of Ford drift cars on the scene. But at the upcoming SEMA Show in Las Vegas, the Blue Oval automaker intends to show off a different kind of drift machine.
Created in collaboration with driftmeister Vaughn Gittin, Jr., this custom F-150 has been designed for "on- and off-road capabilities, as well as drifting and jumping." It's got a suspension with components from Kibbetech King and Air Lift Performance to give it 12 inches of travel and comes packed with 5 Recaro seats. Other details remain limited, but if the rendering above is anything to go by, it ought to be pretty awesome.
Alongside the Gittin truck, Ford will also be showcasing another F-150 designed together with freestyle motorcross rider Brian Deegan, packing the 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine and a long list of enhancements. Between these two trucks, Ford hopes to extend its winning streak for the Hottest Truck award that it's taken four years running now. Feel free to read more in the press release below.
