1976 Ford Bronco Custom Sport Utility 2-door 5.0l on 2040-cars
Denver, Colorado, United States
|
I have a really nice 1976 Ford Bronco that I have owned for about four years. You know the drill - I have always wanted one. This bronco was painted about two years before I got it so the paint is about six years old. The paint looks really good. I've been told it is a single stage, extremely straight. The only things negative about the body and paint that I have noticed is the front windshield frame has a couple of very small little bubbles, and there is one spot on the tailgate that faces inside the car that is a rust spot about the size of a dime. When I looked, I looked at about twelve of them and by far this one was the nicest in my budget range. It has an after-market fiber glass hood. You can see that it has been cut on the rear with fiber glass flares. It was painted with the top off, which I thought was nice. The reason why I am selling this, is like I said that I have owned it for about four years and I have put about fifteen miles on it. It just doesn't do any good having a vehicle like this and not drive it. The things that have recently been done on it include having the engine rebuilt and bored 30 over. It had 10K miles on it when I bought it. They did put an Edelbrock aluminum intake on it. I actually put a brand new Edelbrock 600 carburetor on it. I just put a brand new electric fuel pump just to help it along. I put on their to accomodate the altitude. It does have the Mallery ignition on it, a unilite distributor, 3-speed manual transmission. It feels pretty good overall. Front disc brakes and the pads look like they have a lot of life left on them. It's got a Dana 44 LS front with 4.10 gear ratio, has a Ford 9" open rear end with 410 gear ratio. The front has dual rancho shocks. It does have power front disc brakes, power steering that works extremely well. Front worn hubs, custom 6-point roll cage, tires are like new - 32x10.50x15s with Ford aluminum wheels. All the front bushings have been replaced. When I first got it, it ran really good, and it still runs good, but I think the plugs might be fouled from sitting. I started it the other day, I can tell it just might need plugs. I've been around engines all my life, it is a good engine, seems like it is balanced real well; no ticking, no smoke, I think it has one very minor leak. I haven't driven it enough, so I wouldn't say that it can make it long trips. the only reason I say that is because I haven't driven it much. It is fun around town; nothing goofy or weird about it, but it is old. Windows roll up and down great, the door handles are new, but the buttons seem a little tight. Front windshield is not cracked, but it does have some pitting to it. Carpet looks okay, but there are some spots that look like they're worn. Windshield wipers are not on the car, but I have them in a box in the bronco. I took the air cleaner off the car, but it was for pictures only, I do have it for the buyer. The lights all worked when I bought it, but I haven't checked since. Doors shut real nice, no sagging. I can't tell you who is going to go to the Super Bowl this year, or who is going to win, but I can tell you that I will not take 8, 9, or even 10 thousand for this bronco. So, if you're thinking that, just to save you and me some time. If you have any questions, please, please call me, I will be as honest as I can about it. I am going to hate to see it go. 303.638.6972The vehicle is sold as is and all sales are final. Please ask all your questions before purchasing. I will be available by phone or email. I prefer wire transfers (in the past I have received a couple of fake cashiers checks, and paypal just charges too much), but if you are picking up I will accept cash. Vehicle needs to be picked up within two weeks of end of auction, and needs to be paid in full within three days of end of auction. Shipping is buyers responsibility. 303.638.6972 |

Ford Explorer, Expedition next to go aluminum?
Sun, 13 Apr 2014Ford made some serious waves when it unveiled the latest F-150. Instead of making its bodywork out of steel, like just about every other truck on the market, Ford went with aluminum. And you can bet the F-150 won't be the last Ford model to go with the lightweight alloy construction, either.
Our compatriots at Edmunds report that Dearborn is considering replacing two of its most popular SUVs with aluminum versions. One candidate is the Expedition, which would make sense considering that the current model (like the two preceding generations and the fullsize Bronco before it) is based on the F-150's underpinnings. Another is the Explorer, which was traditionally based on the Ranger pickup but went with a car-like unibody chassis in its current iteration. If the Explorer does go the way of aluminum, don't expect it to be a part of its very next update, which is likely due too soon for such major changes.
It would stand to reason that, if the Expedition were to go aluminum, so would the next-generation Lincoln Navigator. Ditto the MKT together with the Explorer. But those aren't likely to be the only models in contention for aluminum construction. Like any other automaker, Ford is under pressure to steadily reduce its carbon emissions and improve its fuel economy figures, prompting it to look at a whole range of measures - including more efficient engines, lower rolling-resistance tires, active aerodynamics and lightweight construction. Expect aluminum to play a big part in that equation moving forward.
Detroit 3 small cars lay an egg in latest Consumer Reports reliability study
Tue, 28 Oct 2014Consumer Reports has released its Annual Auto Reliability Survey and the results are, in a word, interesting. While we already covered the score-damaging effects of infotainment systems, there's another big angle to the data that's getting some attention - the utterly dismal scores of the Detroit Three's small car offerings.
The turbocharged Dodge Dart and Chevrolet Cruze, as well as the Ford Fiesta were their respective brands' lowest-scoring models, a stat that's made worse by the fact that the American automakers finished 25th, 21st and 23rd, respectively.
That's not acceptable for The Detroit Free Press' auto critic, Mark Phelan, who has penned a scathing critique of the D3's small car reliability scores, arguing that GM, Ford and Chrysler are "out of excuses."
New Ford Police Interceptor tech protects cops' backsides
Mon, 22 Jul 2013It was only a matter of time before law enforcement agencies would realize the potential of driver-assist technology for use in their Ford Police Interceptors, and, now that they have, those back-up cameras and radar systems won't be used just for parking, but for security, as well.
The surveillance mode system works when the camera or radar detects movement from behind the vehicle, and if it does when it's activated, an alarm will alert the officer inside the car, the driver's side window will roll up and the doors will lock, protecting the officer from an unwanted intrusion. The officer, of course, has the option to turn surveillance mode off, mainly in urban areas where pedestrians would constantly set the alarm off, and it can only be activated when the police car is in park.
Randy Freiburger, Ford's police and ambulance fleet supervisor, came up with the patent-pending idea when researching the needs of police officers and riding along with them, during which time he realized officers would be safer with an extra set of eyes watching the area behind their cars, especially at night or when they're completing paperwork, using the in-car computer or handling a radar gun. "Unfortunately, there are people with bad intentions who sneak up on police officers," he says.
