1975 Ford Bronco "ranger Package" Automatic on 2040-cars
Boise, Idaho, United States
|
Up for auction is my father and I's 1975 Ford Bronco equipped with the "Ranger" package. This Bronco is in exceptional shape. It runs and drives very very well. I have owned and been associated with quite a few Bronco's in my day and I have to say that this Bronco by far drives the best of all of them. It is truly a turn key vehicle. It drives like a luxury car. Very smooth and responsive. I would take this on a long distance trip without hesitation. I will describe the vehicle to the best of my ability. This Bronco was bought and sold in Boise Idaho. It has been here it's whole life. It has had 2 owners. It has had 1 paint job in the mid eighties. painted the same color as original. The truck has never been wrecked and outside of some surface rust on the body, the truck is free of rust. This means that the rockers, floors, tunnel, wheel wells,"A" pillars, etc are all free of rust. The rust is limited to pitting in a few of the seems of the outside of the body. Those of you who know theses broncos know that this is somewhat rare to see. These things are known for being rust buckets. So when you find one free of rust and an automatic with all the goodies, you know you have found a good one. The interior is all original with the exception of high back buckets that were put in some 15 years ago. All of the seats were covered the same and they match very well. The truck continues to have its original drive train. Everything works very well. The motor runs great with no smoking or signs of wear. The c4 automatic trans shifts and drives the truck great. Power brakes work very well and the power steering turns the truck nicely. This truck is Very easy to drive. All of the suspension is original to the truck and drives straight down the road. The tires are 5 years old on this truck. They have another 5 years left in them and they are worn very evenly on all four corners, which speaks of how well aligned the truck is. The truck is equipped with a Dana 44 front end and the 4wd work well in the truck. The underneath of the truck has the normal road dirt on it but nothing out of the ordinary. The truck has dual exhaust that sounds great when driving down the road. The truck additionally has electric wipers and is equipped with an intermittent wiper module that makes the wipers easier to use of course. The broncos gauges and various dials etc work very well. The heater gets the truck very warm inside and adjusts well to lower temps as you need it. Defrost works well to. The bronco is equipped with a center console that is very functional and useful to the driver. Inside the glove compartment is the original ID tag that has all of the truck "as built" info to it. The truck remains original to the build plate of the truck. I provided a picture of the tag and will decode if you need info. All interior lighting works well to. Overall the interior is in very nice shape with no visible rips or tears to the carpet or upholstery. For being mostly original it is nice. The top even has a descent headliner in it. Helps keep the noise down. The truck is also equipped with a CD player and some nice descent speakers in the front and back. The stereo also will play MP3. As mentioned before the truck has had one paint job on it in the mid eighties. It was painted the same color as original. The color is ford Tangerine. The paint is quite nice for being 20 plus years old. All of the ranger trim on the body is quite nice, very good driver quality. The rear fender flares were done with the last paint job. The idea was to put bigger tires on the truck as most everyone does. The truck also has the dealer optioned roof rack which ads some class to this Bronco in my opinion. All of the panels for the most part are nice and straight with the little bit of panel waver here and there. Overall a very straight truck as you can see in the pictures. An interesting bit of info about the truck. It has been said that the top has only been off of the truck 3 times in its life. twice by the original owner and once buy the current. The top has not been off of the truck since 1993 best we can guess. The top area of the body is nice and has preserved very well where the top and body meet. When you drive the truck you can tell that the top is mounted quite securely. Overall the body is very nice. All of the weather stripping is in nice shape and the doors open and close very nicely. No road noise when you drive down the road with the exception of the back glass if you don't shut the lift gate completely securely. Again, very comfortable to drive. Overall, this 75 Bronco well optioned with the "Ranger" package is a very nice functional truck. Given the condition of the truck with its 302 and automatic transmission add to that power brakes and power steering, I don't think someone could go wrong. This truck still has many years of life left in her and we would love it to go to a good home with an owner that appreciates the rare original condition of this truck. I would say that this is a great truck to restore but it is really very very nice the way that it is. Up to the new owner to decide that, but rest assured the truck is a great one at this point as well. Please bid with confidence at the quality of vehicle you will get for your money. Now for the stipulation stuff. Please bid if you plan on following thru with your commitment. This truck will be listed in other areas so I do reserve the right to sell elsewhere and end the auction early. Please feel free to ask all the questions that you need to and I will get you anything I can to keep you at ease with your bid. Happy Bidding!!!! |

EU formally questions French government assistance of Peugeot's finance arm
Fri, 28 Dec 2012Recently, the finance arm of PSA/Peugeot-Citroën was in such debt trouble that it was pricing itself out of the car loan market. The rates it was paying to service its debt, which was rated one step above junk, were so high that it was forced to charge car-buying customers higher rates than they could find elsewhere. This was adding to Peugeot's already impressive woes by sending revenue out the door to competitors.
Two months ago a deal was worked out with the French government whereby the state would provide 7 billion euro ($9 billion USD) in bonds to guarantee the finance arm's loans. The French government could nominate someone to join the Peugeot board, Peugeot would guarantee more French jobs, and on top of that deal, other banks would provide non-guaranteed loans. The government would take no equity stake in the car company.
Although not yet finalized, the arrangement is meant to create some breathing room for Peugeot Finance to lower its interest rates for customers, and a government-nominated board member, Louis Gallois, was recently named to Peugeot's supervisory board. The arrangement was also openly questioned by at least three competitors: Ford, Renault - which is 15-percent owned by the French government after it received state aid - and the German state of Lower Saxony, itself a 15-percent shareholder in Volkswagen.

Lincoln Continental to end after one-and-done generation?
Thu, Mar 15 2018After only 18 months on sale, the vultures of rumor have begun circling above the Lincoln Continental. Ford Authority says "sources intricately familiar with Ford Motor Company's future product plans" for the domestic luxury brand say the Continental won't get another chance at life after this generation. Those sources didn't detail Ford's reasons for dispatching the executioner on another sad task, but if this is true, even the reasons we can only guess make enough sense to justify the move. The Continental launched into a crossover mania still mushrooming in strength like some Marvel villain, the equivalent of a new dinosaur hatching a few months before the Chicxulub Impact Event. In 18 months, the Continental sold 18,846 units, 12,012 of those sales happening in 2017. In the U.S. this year, sales amounted to 1,573 units through February, about 25 percent down on the annualized monthly rate. It could be worse: The Lexus GS has found 1,009 U.S. buyers so far this year, the Acura RLX, 285. Conversely, the Cadillac XTS — yes, a fleet darling — secured 3,163 sales in the same period. And the German kingpins live in another dimension, with BMW scooting 5,641 5 Series models off dealer lots, and the Mercedes E-Class boasting 8,411 sales of all three variants. Even the much more expensive and much more profitable Lincoln Navigator rang up 2,351 sales in the first 60 days of 2018. That's disheartening reading, especially after Ford reportedly spent more than $1 billion to bring the Continental to market. Sedan segment woes look to have killed the Continental's platform siblings, too, making the Lincoln's demise simply part of the cull. The CD4 architecture also underpins the Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ. Ford canceled the Fusion redesign and won't commit to making either vehicle after 2020. Lincoln's passenger car sales declined more than 30 percent last month; meanwhile, Lincoln needs to spend its money on the crossovers that are selling, and investment in the coming three-row Aviator that will replace the MKT. Ford has a CD6 platform in development that suits front-, rear-, and all-wheel-drive vehicles. Under previous CEO Mark Fields, a new Fusion, Mustang, and MKZ would ride on the CD6, as well as the new Explorer and a Lincoln brother. Those plans left with the previous administration, and company sources told both Ford Authority and The Truth About Cars not to expect a Continental revival on that architecture.
