1978 Ford Bronco on 2040-cars
|
Condition: Very good condition 1978 Bronco Custom. Runs and drives very well for 35 year old car that has not been fully restored. It would be difficult to find original Bronco in better condition. Completely reliable and easy to start in cold or heat -- always turns over on first try. Body in good condition with little to know rust, unlike many Bronco's from this era. Bright blue paint is not original color -- not certain when paint job was completed but looks to have been done in last 10 years. Starting to see minimal signs of surface rust on interior corner of doors and door wells (so minimal that it is difficult to see in pics). The car was located in AZ until 2008. AC doesn't work. AC Compressor is present but not hooked up. Heater works. Heater vent fan bearings are starting to go and making noise but works (~$35 for new fan). New alternator and battery in Spring 2013. New exhaust/muffler in summer 2013. New Brakes in Fall 2013. $1500 spent on completely new brakes replacement/overhaul (new front rotors, calipers, rear drums, and brake lines). Tires have plenty of thread. The rear window, which is often an issue with these vehicles, is fully operational. Interior is black vinyl floor with some tears. Front seats and rear are original blue vinyl. Front seats have some tears and are covered with cloth seat covers. Rear seat is in good shape with minimal tears. Constantly getting compliments on this truck.
Features: 451M. 3 speed automatic transmission. NP203 full-time 4WD transfer case. Removable top is great for summer. Has aftermarket CD player and set of rear speakers (no door speakers). Aftermarket polished American Racing wheels, including spare wheel, with 33"x11.5" all-terrain tires. Spare tire is 31"x10.5". History: To the best of my knowledge, the car was in AZ until 2008, which is why the body has little to no rust present. After the vehicle was moved to southern WI. I purchased vehicle in May 2013 and currently reside in Chicago. I hate selling, but I am moving across the country. Must sell vehicle before leaving in a few weeks.

Clear title in hand to make for quick transaction. Shipping arrangements and cost are the responsibility of the winning bidder. Please message with any questions or requests for more pictures. |

Amid Mulally rumors, Bill Ford praises company's deep bench
Wed, 02 Oct 2013Bill Ford went on the offensive to combat the rumors that CEO Alan Mulally would leave Dearborn for Steve Ballmer's vacated position leading Microsoft, adding that even if the 68-year-old, former Boeing exec were to depart, the Ford executive team is in a good place.
"I'm happy [Mulally] is going to stick around. But we also feel really good about where we are in terms of succession," Ford told Bloomberg TV, according to Automotive News. Rumors first cropped up about Mulally leaving Ford when AllThingsD speculated that he was in the running, early last month. In that same report, which you can read here, Ford's board of directors reportedly okayed the CEO stepping down ahead of his planned retirement in 2014.
That opened the floodgates, culminating in a report from a few days ago that the rumors over Ballmer's successor just might be true. The story is especially troubling, as Ford hasn't had Mulally under contract, according to AN. "He's here as long as he and I would like it to happen," Ford said, "We're also cognizant of training the next generation and getting them ready to go as well."
Ford reports 58% drop in Q2 profits on European losses
Wed, 25 Jul 2012
Ford Motor Company announced Wednesday that it has posted a $1 billion profit for the second quarter of 2012. That sounds like good news for the Blue Oval, until you take into account that Ford posted a $2.4 billion profit for Q2 a year ago. That is a substantial 58 percent loss.
Ford also posted $465 million in international losses, with $404 million of those losses coming directly from Europe. The automaker also increased its European loss projections to $1 billion for 2012, due in large part to the economic crisis overseas, which has resulted in increased unemployment and decreased consumer confidence.
PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]
Wed, 19 Jun 2013PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.
