1977 Ford Bronco 1 Owner, Original Paint, 44k Miles, on 2040-cars
Nashville, Tennessee, United States
|
Available is a special Bronco. I found her at this years Bronco Super Celebration in Townsend TN. The owner was an old timer from Marion NC. He drove it to the show and back home, a total of 300 miles that sunny Saturday. The bronco was bought new from his friend in 1977 ( I have the original receipt when it was bought). His friend recently passed and he bought the Bronco from the estate, and sold it to me in May. He delivered it to my sister in Knoxville, and my Dad who is 75 drove it from Knoxville to Nashville (175 miles) a few weeks ago. She's reliable daily driver, as is or restore to show quality status. Fly in and drive her home of have her transported.
She's in very good overall original condition. It The paint is original and has plenty of patina. I had it buffed and it removed most of the oxidation. The top has never been off. The doors are the tightest closing doors I've seen. The inner and outer strikers and posts are perfect, with NO door sag. All sheet metal is original and there is no bondo anywhere. The belly is super clean as seen in the pictures. She's almost completely rust free. There's a couple minor spots in the front floor seams and on the right rear seam by the wheel well, and the right rear quarter seam, that's about it. The rockers, tailgate, kick panels, windshield frame, front hood lip, inner fenders are all rust free. The front seats have been recovered at some point, the rear seat is original. It has the factory front and rear Black mats. It still has the original AM radio too! The original 302 purrs, doesn't smoke and even appears to have it's original muffler and catalytic converter. The previous owner said the Bronco sat for a couple of years before he bought it and his mechanic told him it has sticky lifter ticking. It has been driven about 500 miles, and drives excellent. The transmission shifts fine, it has the 4 turn close ratio power steering only available in 76 and 77. 4WD works fine. It has 5 new AT tires, new master cylinder. All the lights work, even the dash light bars, shift indicator, side markers, and license plate light. It also has the optional remote drivers side view mirror. It's rare to find a '77 with only 44K miles, uncut with original paint, but here it is! Ask questions before you bid. Sold as is with no warranty. Sold with clear title. I refuse the right to end the auction early If I decide to list it locally for sale. All questions will be answered. A $500.00 non refundable deposit is due at auctions end. I have a transport company I can refer. Their rate is typically .75/mile. THANKS |

Detroit's new fleet of donated police cars have safety issues [w/video]
Wed, 23 Oct 2013In a show of generosity in mid-August, Detroit's business leaders donated $8 million to the Police Department and Fire Department in order to buy 100 new police vehicles and 23 EMS ambulances. But now officers have discovered - and complained - that the police vehicles have glaring safety issues, Deadline Detroit reports. It is not made clear what models of the fleet vehicles - which include police versions of the Ford Taurus, the Chevrolet Caprice and the Dodge Charger - are affected by the safety issues.
Officers reportedly have complained that the Plexiglass partition separating front-seat officers and back-seat prisoners is easily breached, and that the front passenger seat is installed too close to the dashboard. Prisoners who manage to writhe out of their handcuffs can bend the Plexiglass and reach into the cockpit, and sitting too close to the dashboard can render airbags more dangerous and make officers more vulnerable to injury in a crash.
Mark Diaz, president of the Detroit Police Officers Association, received the complaints and reportedly said the vehicles would get safety updates addressing the issues. But Deadline Detroit reports that it checked some of the offending police cars and, as of the last few days, they hadn't been updated.
Ford taken to task by gov't for Chicken Tax end-around
Mon, 23 Sep 2013Ford is in a bit of a pickle for importing and selling Turkey-built Transit Connect cargo vans as passenger vehicles in the US, then converting them to commercial-vehicle specification stateside in an effort to bypass a 25-percent tax imposed on vehicles imported for commercial use. Automakers are required to pay a 2.5-percent tax on imported passenger vehicles.
The Blue Oval got into trouble for this in a January ruling in which U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials asked Ford to stop the practice of importing the Transit Connect vehicles with passenger seats, then removing and shredding them. Now Automotive News reports that Ford is appealing the ruling. The 25-percent "Chicken Tax," as the tariff is often called, is 50 years old and was enacted as a response to a German tariff on chickens. Like Ford, Chrysler bypasses the higher tariff, but it does so in a different manner. It partially disassembles Sprinter cargo vans before shipping them to the US, then rebuilds them at a plant in South Carolina.
But the ruling against Ford's strategy states that it "serves no manufacturing or commercial purpose" and is there to "manipulate the tariff schedule," Automotive News reports. As Ford's appeal goes through, it is importing the Transit Connect and paying the higher tax, hoping for a favorable outcome and planning to build the next-generation Transit Connect, which it plans to launch before the end of the year, in Spain.
'Car Wars' says Ford, Honda to pick up share, Fiat-Chrysler ambitions downplayed
Sat, 14 Jun 2014Don't look for a tremendous shifts in automotive market share over the next three years because it might not be coming. That's at least according to the annual Car Wars report by John Murphy, from Bank of America Merrill Lynch Global Research.
In the report's analysis of automakers' market share from 2013 to 2017, it predicts only small changes among the major companies. Ford and Honda see the biggest positive effect with an estimated 0.5 percent increase in their shares over the next three years; to 16.2 percent and 10.3 percent respectively. On the flip side, European automakers and Nissan are expected to lose 0.2 percent each to fall to 8.3 percent and 7.8 percent each respectively. The rest of the industry is predicted to hold steady as it is now.
The biggest loser in that prediction might be Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles. The report certainly throws a wet blanket on its plan for significant gains in market share. Murphy told The Detroit News that the company's goal was "almost unattainable."
