Here is your next classic Bronco. This truck exudes vintage charm in it's original trim however it has been significantly upgraded to be effortless for daily commutes and/or long trips.
The best features of this truck are:
Sounds right, runs right, tracks right, sits right!
Drives like a modern truck, not a 60's/70's truck.
Fuel injected motor starts right up, pulls strong, runs fantastic.
Cold a/c, comfortable seating, updated radio/cd.
Power steering, auto trans, front disc brakes
I've owned this truck for over ten years, much of the time as my primary vehicle. It started life as an Arizona truck and came from the factory very well optioned with:
302/auto trans, 4,900 GVW, limited slip rear, power steering, dual fuel tanks, remote driver mirror, passenger mirror, Ranger color/striping/brightwork spears.
Here's a list of some of the upgrades.
Engine/trans/driveline/mechanical:
The engine is a 1989 5.0 from a 31k mile Crown Vic (an old man's car that got rear-ended). Plus another 20k miles or so since installed in the Bronco. The timing cover forward is a serpentine belt setup from a 2000 Explorer including the a/c compressor. The rest of the a/c system is from Vintage Air. The engine and it's original ECM were installed and wired with care, including all necessary relays and circuit protection, by a mechanical engineer. This truck just starts right up every time with no pedal pumping and no choke to fiddle. Runs strong and clean. Has a catalytic converter and a SpinTech muffler. This gives it a nice low rumble without offending the neighbors. Original C4 works great, factory limited slip rear has been professionally rebuilt; chirps the tires as it should on sharp turns. Factory p/s gear has been professionally rebuilt. Truck tracks great, effortless around town or at highway speeds. Optima battery. Front brakes are C/K disc and rotor conversion with all rubber lines replaced with stainless steel for superior pedal feel.
Interior:
Tub and door panels were fully spray lined in white, modern seats installed with lumbar and headrest adjustment, custom dash accommodates a/c grills, Alpine speakers, Sony radio/cd garage, and upgraded fuse block. It has a locking Tuffy console, a factory rear seat (w/o armrests), intermittent wipers, two separate kill switches (very effective, hidden in plain view), rewired dash, remote control for the stereo, dash mounted high beam switch.
Exterior:
I wanted my Bronco to look unmolested. It has a very minor lift (about an inch, inch and a half) and upsized tires on stock rims with original caps. Stance is a personal thing, but I think this Bronco sits right. The tires are BF Goodrich All-terrain T/A with plenty of meat left (30x9.5-15). All doors/locks/windows work as they should. Doors close properly with no sag. Original Ranger colors and striping. Hood has hydraulic lifts instead of the prop rod. Wipers have been upgraded to Cherokee blades/refills. Factory dual tank setup replaced with a single 21 gallon tank. Headlights upgraded to halogen bulbs and reflectors with plastic reflector protectors; all on relays for superior lighting power. Paintwork is vintage with lots of patina. Slight variations in sheen and color indicate portions repainted over the years. Some crazing, some minor surface rust. Would benefit from a full cosmetic restoration, but in no way needs it. This truck presents great and is perfect for the collector who will DRIVE it. Lower quarters (just in the white band) have been professionally replaced with metal. The only notable rust is on the door bottoms (minor perforation on driver door inner edge) which could either be repaired or stabilized. Not causing any functional or aesthetic issues at this point. See close up photos. I personally love the worn paint where your left arm sits on the door top. It calls you to ride around town on a sunny Saturday and collect the waves, honks and thumbs-up. Undercarriage shows surface rust. Floorboards are all solid, rockers are solid. No issues.
Recently PA state inspected, good til 3/14.
The following are shortcomings a new owner would want to be aware of:
The high pressure fuel pump mounted on the frame rail makes a whine. It is a stock Ford unit (F-250, I think). Could be replaced or upgrade to in-tank. Or turn up the radio.
Passenger side window rolls up and down but is tight, probably from disuse.
Minor surface rust issues noted above. Overall, this is a nearly rust-free Arizona-raised truck.
Stereo "garage" door does not stay up on it's own. A brace or snugger pivots should address. A wedge in the linkage also works.
Original cardboard headliner is starting to sag a little (about an inch) at the seam.
Two very minor cracks in the otherwise excellent dash pad. See photo.
Swing-out tire carrier needs a new safety cable.
I am happy to show it, give test drives to you or your surrogate/agent, facilitate with your shipper and/or assist with fly-in/drive-out. We are 20 minutes from PHL, 90 minutes from Atlantic City Airport.
Please bid only if you intend to purchase; $1,500 non-refundable required within 24 hours of close of auction.
Reasonable reserve will not be revealed in fairness to all. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Toyota isn't convinced the Ford Focus was the best-selling nameplate globally last year. Bloomberg reports that for the second time in seven months, both Toyota and Ford are laying claim to the title. Ford cites R.L. Polk & Co. data that says the automaker moved some 1.02 million Focus models in 2012 compared to just 872,774 Toyota Corolla units. But Toyota says the actual figure is closer to 1.16 million Corolla models.
Last year, Ford said it took the sales crown through the fist half of 2012 based on information from IHS Automotive, but Toyota pointed out those numbers left out models like the Corolla-based Matrix and Auris, as well as the Corolla Fielder and Scion xB-based Corolla Rumion. Whether or not Toyota's belief that all these cars should be counted in the Corolla bucket is accurate or not is seemingly up for debate... as is the question of why it matters so much to both parties.
This time around, Ford is holding the line that the Focus is the "best-selling nameplate," with Erich Merkle, a US sales analyst with Ford saying the company's figure is, "a pure number that is verified by a third party." Toyota, meanwhile, has requested clarification from Polk.

For the first time since 1976, Ford of Australia is bringing the assembly of its stonking Ford Performance Vehicle line back in-house to the company's Broadmeadows and Geelong facilities. That's a point of pride for FPV, which builds high-performance versions of the Australian Falcon model like the F6, GS and the heroic GT seen here.
In the video below, we hear FPV employees talking in hushed tones about the important legacy that cars like the GT have for Australian gearheads of all stripes, and how proud they are to say that hand-built machines like this GT R-Spec with its Boss 355 engine are now rolling out of their home base. For our part, we're just dying to drive this version of the Coyote V8; the engine is rocking a "Miami" supercharger from Harrop and makes some 450 horsepower.
Continue on below for the video, or you can check out some images of the new FPV at the facility, as well as a gallery of the GT R-Spec car.

Snagging a celebrity endorsement is a big deal for automakers, as evidenced by the recent efforts of the Detroit Three to try and woo The Tonight Show's newest host, Jimmy Fallon, into one of their trucks.
After announcing during Wednesday night's show that he was in the market for a pickup truck, Fallon set off a firestorm of efforts on Twitter, with both Ford and Chevrolet petitioning the funnyman to test out a truck. According to Ad Age, Ford recommended the King Ranch edition of its next-generation F-150 while the show was still airing. Chevy, meanwhile, waited until the next morning to pitch a Silverado to Fallon.
The winner of this social media feeding frenzy, though, was Ram. Promoting a variation of its "Guts, Glory, Ram" tagline, the Auburn Hills-based manufacturer created the hashtag #GUTSGLORYFallon. It even went so far as to park a Ram 1500 outside 30 Rockefeller Center in New York, where The Tonight Show is filmed. On the back of the Ram sat a sign, reading "Big enough, Jimmy? Test it out," referencing a joke from the Wednesday show.
