El Dorado, Arkansas, United States

Up for auction is a 1976 Ford Bronco.  It has a good running 302 that looks to be original.  It is running off of a one gallon can under the hood just to make sure it didn't get any bad gas. The motor sounds good and runs smooth.  It has the original power disc brake setup.  It is complete and works, but the front brakes stay partially engaged so the front tires won't roll free. I have not investigated to find out exactly what it is, but it's most likely the master cylinder, or the calipers.  It has a 3-speed manual transmission one the column.  It shifts good for an original unit.  Transfer case is nice and tight and it shifts very well.  All the 4-wheel drive works and it's all there.  With a little work, this bronco could be driving down the road.  The body has rust (pictured).  The worst rust is in the rockers.  The front fenders were removed by the previous owner.  The door strikes and posts are 90% solid but do have some rust through (see pics).  The doors hang well and the door posts do not give any when the doors open and shut.  The hood and tailgate are both good with minimal rust.  The grill could be used with some work.  The top is decent.  The seams along the rear quarter panels are good.  The front floor pans need to be replaced. The rear floors are mostly solid but have some rust in a few of the seams.  The frame is solid throughout.  This would be a great bronco to restore or use as is for a woods vehicle (once the brakes are fixed).  It does come with the wiper motor and wiper motor cover (not installed).  Please look at the pictures closely and ask any and all questions prior to bidding.  I will answer questions ASAP!! Feel free to ask!  Thanks so much for looking and good luck!

I forgot to mention that this bronco has a good working, original, 4-turn power steering setup.

Ford reveals automated Fusion Hybrid

Thu, 12 Dec 2013

Autonomous cars may still be in their infancy, but more and more big names in the auto industry are diving in head first. Nissan is already making strides with a semi-autonomous Leaf EV and General Motors is planning to offer semi-autonomous tech by 2020. And then there's Google, doing its thing with a fleet of Toyota Prius. Now, Ford is showing off its latest automated effort, a driverless Fusion Hybrid.
Partnering with the University of Michigan (Go Blue!) and State Farm Insurance, the project is part of Ford's Blueprint for Mobility, the company's plan for transportation beyond 2025. "The Ford Fusion Hybrid automated vehicle represents a vital step toward our vision for the future of mobility," Chairman Bill Ford said. "We see a future of connected cars that communicate with each other and the world around them to make driving safer, ease traffic congestion and sustain the environment."
The automated Fusion features four LiDAR infrared sensors that scan the road 2.5 million times every second, using a principle similar to the echolocation used by dolphins or bats. Using the infrared light emitted by the LiDAR, the car can draw a picture of everything within 200 feet to create a map of its surroundings. According to Ford, the sensors are able to tell the difference between a paper bag and a small animal from a football field away.

2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid

Mon, 01 Apr 2013

Your Mileage May Vary
As difficult as it is to write this, I was actually excited about the 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid. With the beautiful looks of the newest midsize fighter from Ford and a fuel economy estimate capable of shaming even the stalwart Camry Hybrid, the battery-augmented four-door seemed like a recipe for unabashed success. But appearances love nothing more than swapping our boundless enthusiasm for cold platters of disappointment. The 2013 Fusion Hybrid gets hobbled right out of the gate with a lofty price tag, and real-world driving keeps the sedan from even approaching those EPA figures.
With so many excellent midsize hybrids on the market, is there any reason to consider the newest Fusion Hybrid? Are sharp aesthetics, a well-executed interior and capable driving dynamics enough to overcome the machine's shortfalls? Not from where I'm standing.

Weekly Recap: Auto execs face life in prison for recall delays under proposed legislation

Sat, 09 Aug 2014



The stiff punishments are part of broader transportation legislation, but clearly McCaskill has automakers in her sights.
Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill threw down the gauntlet this week, proposing a bill that could send auto executives to prison for life if they were found to have delayed a recall. She also wants to eliminate the limit for fines for auto safety violations, which are currently capped at $35 million.
