Well, after 6 years of fun and upgrades I have to let the Bronco go (too many vehicles + a bad back that took a year to recover from the last 3 day trail run). Here's a list of what's in it:


1974 Bronco Sport - Very capable off road & very comfortable on road, I built this truck as a daily driver that could take you anywhere, from the beach, to the mountains, to the boulevard, and even to work. One of the best mannered Early Broncos that you will find. Always starts! I have left it sitting for 4 months with the battery connected and, 1st try, zoom.

CANVAS FOLDING "RAGTOP" sunroof 4' wide x 5' long. Better than convertible because you can lock the car. Plus, there is less wind backlash and you can actually talk with passengers while on the highway. Takes about 3 minutes to open or close and is fairly watertight (will drip a little at front passenger corner during hard rains).

351 Windsor (stock block), Edelbrock intake, 2bbl throttle body injection (Chevy system), long tube headers w/titanium wrap (very quiet). 4 core - 3 pass radiator & 6 blade race fan. Saginaw steering pump w/remote reservoir and in-line cooler.

AOD trans w/4R70 wide range gear set + Lentech Street Eliminator valve body w/ elect. OD cutoff. Dana 20 Twin Stick w/TeraLo 3.15:1 low range

Wild Horses 3" spring lift (soft, progressive rate springs) + 1" body lift. REAR axle - 9" w/ARB locker, 4.10:1 gears, drum brakes, elect. remote disconnect sway bar. FRONT axle - Dana 44 w/Trutrak posi, chromoly axles, 76 Ford disc brakes. 33" x 12.5" Goodrich Mud Terrain Radials on '90 Bronco steel wheels, 95 percent tread. 

THE WHEELS IN PHOTOS ARE INCORRECT - go to Flickr link below to view the actual wheels and tires (on the Jeep Truck at bottom of list) - THOSE wheels/tires are included with Bronco and have a much nicer stance.

Wild Horses 24 gallon fuel tank (no reserve tank). 

Older Vintage Air A/C system w/new remote R134 condenser (to be installed). 

Stock interior, Rhinoliner floor coating, 6 point roll cage, White face gauge panel, intermittent wiper switch, Tom's Bronco center console w/radio insert & cup holders, aluminum overhead console (covers wiper motor). Rebuilt driver's door - latch, handle, window channels, vent window pivot, rubber, and latch (have parts to finish passenger door w/same). BC Broncos 1/4" rock ski on passenger side rocker (have driver's side to be installed). This truck is tight and has no rattles.

Plus, many other parts to install: Hi-Lift jack w/sand platform, tow strap, tire hooks, etc. Tuff Stuff 12,500 lb. winch (not the best but you won't need it very often), mounting plate & 2x4 tubing to build custom mount using stock bumper blade. Steering box brace (wraps around frame), 1 qt. fuel accumulator/filter, extra MSD distributors, flex fan to reduce fan noise on highway, oil/trans temp, vacuum, amp gauges, and Cobra CB radio (no aerial). 

THE BAD?

Paint is not perfect but looks very good from 10', always get compliments on the truck. NO ROT but it came from Texas and the driver's floorboard had some pinholes and has been patched cleanly. Small panel buckling at bottom of driver's door (about 2" long). Driver's door needs alignment (closes tight but sticks out 1/8"). 

THINGS TO BE FINISHED

Install remote A/C condenser - Has electric fan and shroud, to be mounted under passenger floorboard (between rocker and frame rail) to keep heat out of engine compartment.

Passenger door - Install new window channels, vent wing pivot and seals, new door handle, latch and striker plate.

1/4" Rocker panel cover - on Driver's side.


SHIPPING - Is the responsibility of the buyer. I will work with any shipping company to ensure safe delivery. Most transport companies will not accept loose items in vehicles so the winch and other items will probably ship separately (and they are heavy), extra shipping fees will probably be necessary.

Almost $30k in receipts. Asking $18,500 - Email any questions. 45 pictures posted on Flickr at

Ford's Farley apologizes for saying Blue Oval tracks customers with GPS

Fri, 10 Jan 2014

Ford marketing head honcho Jim Farley made waves at CES this week by telling show attendees, "We know everyone who breaks the law, we know when you're doing it." according to a report by Business Insider. Farley continued by saying, "We have GPS in your car, so we know what you're doing. By the way, we don't supply that data to anyone."
Farley has since amended his statement, saying that Ford dose not, in fact, track its customers in their cars "without their approval or consent."
Apparently carried away with a hypothetical notion, Farley was attempting to describe how Ford might be able to employee aggregated user data for things like accurate traffic reporting and pattern spotting. A Ford spokesperson confirmed with Business Insider that its GPS units are not sharing the whereabouts of drivers, though there are a few on-board services that might do so. After opting in to the services (and presumably being made aware of any/all tracking and data collection), Ford's Sync Services Directions and Crew Chief software do, in fact, allow data collection as a means of improving both systems. Farley added that the opt-in data is not shared, even when being tracked.

Watch this awesome R/C car chase scene made with cardboard and glue

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

It never ceases to amaze us how much video production talent you can find on YouTube, especially when considering movies like Battleship actually exist on the silver screen. It's even better, of course, when cars are involved, which is why we can't stop watching this car chase between a pair of radio controlled Ford Mustangs.
Racing through a detailed set built in the middle of a public street using just "cardboard, hot glue and spray paint," this video is possibly even greater than The Greatest R/C Car Chase Ever that we saw last year. With the exception of a fruit stand and/or a plate-glass window being carried across the street, this has all the makings of a classic cliché chase scene.
Scroll down to watch the scaled-down action ensue as well as the full-scale conclusion.

Ford Announces Free Brake-Pad Offer If Customers Stop By Dealers

Mon, Aug 4 2014

These days, when you buy a new car, it's not unreasonable to expect a certain period of free maintenance to come along as well. Sometimes this is through the life of the warranty, in other cases a little less. But Ford Motor Company is going beyond those deals for at least one part of its cars. As of now, if you buy a set of Motorcraft brake pads for a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury model, you get free replacements for as long as you own the vehicle. The offer is good at Ford or Lincoln dealers and Quick Lane Tire & Auto Centers. "We will replace the pads for as long as you own the vehicle," said Elizabeth Weigandt to Autoblog. She did clarify that the Motorcraft pads are generally for models from the '90s or newer. Also, to take advantage of this program, a person must return to the same dealer each time to get the free parts. Of course, Ford isn't just handing out brake pads to anyone who walks by; there are certain stipulations. First, the components have to be worn down to less than three millimeters to be eligible, and the buyer still has to pay for the labor to install them. If the model is used as a fleet vehicle for commercial purposes like as a taxi or limousine, this offer also doesn't apply; the same thing for racecars. On the plus side, if you recently bought a set of pads from one of the participating locations, you're still in luck. The deal covers parts purchased as of July 1. "This program reflects our commitment to providing customers with an excellent ownership experience regardless of the age of their vehicle," said Frederiek Toney, President of Ford Customer Service, in the company's announcement of the offer.
