1974 Ford Bronco
Background:
This truck was purchased by my father and myself around 2004 out of North Carolina. We started restoring from the ground up and finished it around 2007. It is essentially a frame up restoration, except we did not strip the frame because it was already in great shape. In 2011 the title was switched over to my name and I have been using it as a daily driver since. It has always been kept under cover, except for the last 2-years.
Modifications/Accessories:
- 302 motor built by Lloyd McCleary. Lloyd has been featured in many Hot Rod Magazines and was famous for his Nascar motors. He has since gone out of business (not due to the quality of his work), but we were lucky enough to get one of his motors prior to their closing.
- Ported and polished
- all performance part
- aluminum heads
- roller rockers
- Edelbrock carb
- MSD Ignition system
- Edelbrock RPM Air Gap Chrome intake manifold
- I watched this engine turn out 460 HP on the dyno when we went to pick it up from Lloyd.
- recently had the top end re-done with all high end parts and reusable racing gaskets
- all new light plastic and trim
- white soft-top
- white bikini top (not shown in pictures
- door inserts (not shown in pictures) painted to match
- 3.5" Wild Horses Suspension Lift
- new chrome bumpers
- front bumper is starting to loose some chrome plating
- wired for in dash-stereo (unfortunately there is not one currently installed)
- 6x9 marine grade speakers in Tuffy speaker boxes
- Tuffy lock box/tool box behind back seat (not shown in photos)
- Duff brand floor shifter for factory 3-spd transmission
- brushed aluminum trim for door panels, dash, shifters, etc.
- Duff brand "twin-stick" shifter for 4x4 (makes life easy)
- Front disk brakes
- power stearing
- Warn locking hubs
- tachometer
- and so much more..... too much to list
Comments:
The paint job is incredible. There is a very small amount of rust at the bottom of the driver door. This rust accumulated when I had the doors in storage (I had the door inserts installed at the time). It has not been repaired but is completely unnoticeable unless you know where to look. I have included a picture of this.
There is a very small dent in the hood. I included a picture. This small dent happened when a mechanic left something on the wheel well and closed the hood. the dent sticks upwards. It is an easy-cheap repair.
This Bronco has tons of power and looks awesome! Whoever gets this will have a very nice Bronco that turn heads constantly!
The rims are starting to develop some rust inside the dish of the chrome rim.
The tires are worn. Buyer will need to equip with new tires.
Lastly, the speedometer has recently stopped working. all other gages work in the cluster (fuel, temp, oil pressure, alt charge)
Thank you for looking and goo luck!

Man turns Ford Fiesta into a one-car band
Mon, 18 Nov 2013The one-man band is a rather ridiculous idea, drawing up images of one person attempting to manipulate several instruments, at once, in a vain attempt at creating music. It's usually represented by silly scenes like this. Interestingly, the concept isn't much more successful when the "man" in "one-man band" is replaced with "car," as we see in this video.
It seems that someone rigged up and edited (699 times, we might add) a Ford Fiesta, a bucket, 12 PVC pipes and the natural sounds that a car makes to come up with a song. Now, we don't recognize the tune, so we've no idea if this is a cover or an original piece. And while it's hardly Beethoven, we have to admire the amount of effort the "conductor" went to in his attempt to turn a subcompact car into a musical instrument(s). Take a look (or listen) below for the entire video.
Ford recalling 370,000 Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Town Car models
Fri, 30 Aug 2013The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will recall some 370,000 Crown Victoria (pictured), Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car vehicles from model years 2005 through 2011, for an issue regarding the lower intermediate steering shaft. 355,000 of the vehicles in question were sold in the US, with the other 15,000 sold in Canada.
The report indicates that corrosion of the lower intermediate steering shaft could cause a "loss of steering," presumably because of a partial or complete failure of the part. The report points out the dealers will inspect and replace the offending steering component for recalled cars, and may also secure a lower steering column bearing and replace the upper intermediate steering shaft as needed. The company is unaware of any reports of the faulty part causing any accidents or injuries.
Ford helpfully lists states in which corrosion is more likely to have taken place, mostly in the Snow Belt, as you might guess. Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia are listed.
Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
