OK guys, this is an ex-mud racer turned sand toy (well almost). I have owned it for 18 or 19 years. It was originally campaigned as a mud racer from the early 80's to about '89 or '90. I purchased it and set to work rebuilding and further modifying it to suit the sand drag racing and duning use that I had in mind. I have countless hours and cash invested in this little truck and have had it running but never drove it. The motor is a de-stroked (289 high nickel crank) 302 with aluminum rods, forged pistons, Lunati cam and lifters, Weiand tunnel ram, two Holleys etc, etc. The trans is a built C4 with a full manual valve body and an 8" convertor. I have a pair of 16.50 paddles and a pair of 20.00 paddles that are mounted on lightweight steel wheels also. The motor was freshened up many years ago and ran for cam break-in only. It has been oiled down and turned over by hand a couple of times a year since. It is not currently ready to run and I am not going to get it running to sell. The paint was done in the mid 80's and still looks great today! Check out all the airbrush work, even the grill and lights plus the reaper scenes. The truck does need a few things to make it complete some of which are shifter and cable, wiring harness built (minimal in a race car), harnesses (they would be out of date if I had them anyway), gauges installed, fuel pump, etc. Most of the hard work has been done.
This will make someone a great toy with fairly minimal work left to do. I have set a reasonable reserve and will let the auction run it's course. I have described the Bronco fairly and as such am selling it as-is, where-is with no warranty expressed or implied. I take my auctions seriously, please give me the courtesy of doing the same.
Thanks

Ford GT40 makes historic return to racing at Goodwood
Wed, 23 Oct 2013Is there a more iconic, American racecar than the Ford GT40? That may be a discussion for another day (although by all means, tell us how wrong we are in Comments), but this video of heaps of GT40s running in the Goodwood Revival races certainly has us thinking that Ford's Ferrari-killer might just be the best racer the Land Of The Free and Home Of The Brave has ever come up with.
That's completely ignoring the fact that the GT40 was largely developed by Brits using American money, but that's besides the point (there was also a rather brash Texan, who had a big role later in development). The resulting vehicle was dominant, besting the cars of Il Commendatore from 1966 to 1969, although it should be noted that Ford's GT40 was unable to beat Ferrari in its first two Le Mans outings in 1964 and 1965.
Those four years of dominance, which started with Ford sweeping the podium, were enough to establish the GT40's legend. And now, here we are almost 50 years later, celebrating the mid-engined monsters at Goodwood, in their first ever one-make race. Take a look below for the entire video.
Ford owns Automotive Loyalty Awards, Audi and Subaru are king of conquests
Thu, 23 Jan 2014Customers are a commodity in the automotive industry, and like any other commodity, automakers trade them back and forth. Only nobody wants to give up their customers - just to keep the ones they have and try to attract others.
That's what the Polk Automotive Loyalty Awards are all about. Every year the industry research body names the automakers, brands and models that manage to keep their customers coming back for more - and attract buyers to switch from other makes. Ford usually does pretty well, but this year it rose above even its own track record.
Not only did Dearborn win the Overall Loyalty to Manufacturer award, but also the Overall Loyalty to Make. Ford also took the African American category, and the F-150 was named the top full-size half-ton pickup in customer loyalty. Ford COO Mark Fields (pictured above) accepted the awards and gave the keynote address at the awards ceremony.
2013 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year finalists announced [w/poll]
Wed, 12 Dec 20122012 is almost in the books and automakers are spending December gearing up for the 2013 auto show season, which tips off next month at the Detroit Auto Show. Traditionally, the latter opens up with the announcement of the North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year awards, and this year figures to be no different.
But up until this moment, we didn't know which six vehicles would be parked ahead of the stage as finalists, with executives and engineers waiting for the winners to be disclosed. Whittled down from October's "short list" of nominees (11 cars and 10 truck/utility vehicles), the finalists are as follows:
