Hi up for auction is a 1979 Ford Bronco the truck only has a little over 44,000 miles on it. The bronco does have some rust issues that need attended to but is not bad for a 34 year old truck! This would be a perfect Bronco to have restored and put away. The engine is unmolested and everything is there except for the kick down rod so the transmission does not kick down, if you read on the internet you find many people removed them there are a pita to adjust and most people just removed them. The Bronco is the all-wheel drive model. I think the tires that are on the truck may very well be the originals according to the date code and they are not dry rotted and seem to be in decent shape but I wouldn't drive on them real far , the hub caps in the photos are not the originals but the originals will be included and are in good shape. The last owner said that the top has never been off so I never took it off either, the truck has a sunroof that he thought was installed at the factory but I am not sure about that, sunroof and top doesn't leak a drop, and I don't think the engine does either, like most of them did. Does not have air conditioning. The truck has been rust proofed but it still rusted around wheel wells and bottoms of panels and places. frame is good no bad rust issues there. upholstery is very nice but carpet is fading and the front seats seams are just starting to come apart but could be fixed easily.. The rear seat is almost perfect! The back window goes up and down just as it should. Doors are nice and tight as possibly could be, the rubber around doors are in good condition. The dew wipe on rear window has seen better days. The tail pipe is rusted off but will be a very easy fix and the rest of the exhaust looks pretty good, all factory guards are still in place. There is a dent on the rear passenger side and it could be fixed easy and is rot real noticeable anyway " see photo". I have changed the stereo but I have the original one and it will be included with the truck. The truck is 98% original and needs to be babied and restored and it would be a jewel, I wanted to restore it but just find I don't have the time or room to do so. The truck is dependable enough to be a daily driver. Has a trailer hitch and electric brake setup.

FL man fatally shot after urging driver not to do donuts in a Mustang
Tue, 18 Nov 2014Bradley Holt (pictured), the older half-brother of University of South Florida freshman quarterback Quinton Flowers, was killed in a random act of violence last week.
The 24-year-old Holt was throwing a football around with local kids in Allapattah, a neighborhood in Miami, when a yellow Mustang showed up and started doing donuts in the street. Holt, worried about kids playing in front his apartment complex, walked over to the driver and asked him why he was "driving so crazy with so many kids out here?"
The driver left. Holt's sister said the driver came back "about 15 to 20 minutes later" and fired two shots at Holt. One of them hit Holt in the back of the head, killing him.
Hennessey completes first VelociRaptor SUV conversion [w/video]
Mon, 20 May 2013Start with a Ford F-150 SVT Raptor as your base vehicle for modification, and chances are high that you'll end up with something pretty cool. Now, have those modifications done by professional lunatics Hennessey Performance, make the project turning the pickup into an ultra-long SUV, and the result stands a real chance of being a total kick in the ass. Let us present the Hennessey VelociRaptor then, in all of its awesomeness.
Hennessey has taken care in grafting a "Expedition style" rear cabin onto the Raptor, complete with an optional third row. The pictures we have show a cabin that's up to the fit and finish standards of the original Ford truck, too. The cab added over the bed also makes room for a massive load space out back, accessible via split out-folding doors and long enough for a person to lay down in (see video).
Mechanically, the truck-turned-SUV sticks with Ford's stock 6.2-liter V8, rated at 411 horsepower, or can be had with a supercharger and some 600 hp. Hennessey says the stock-motor VelociRaptor will run from 0-60 miles per hour in 7.5 seconds, while the hi-po version takes just 5.9 seconds. The SUV does take some of the off-road ability away from the Raptor, with the company saying it hasn't yet had the opportunity to test its capabilities. On-roading and "moderate off-road duties" are the current prescription.
Ford pits Cobra Jet versus GRC Fiesta ST, worlds collide
Thu, 31 Oct 2013Racing takes on many forms in the automotive world. There are sanctioned events that are as varied and diverse as NASCAR, Formula One, Global Rallycross and drag racing, and to be good enough to win competitively in one discipline, you need to have a specialized vehicle. Or do you?
Ford decided to find out what would happen when its Global Rallycross Fiesta ST, driven by Tanner Foust, lined up against its Mustang Cobra Jet drag racer, driven by Roy Hill. In one lane, Tanner has just 2.0 liters of displacement to work with, while Roy has more than double that, at 5.0 liters. Evening the playing field a bit, Tanner has a massive turbocharger and all-wheel drive; Roy has to filter all his supercharged power through the rear wheels only.
So, who wins? We suggest you see for yourself in the press release and video below. And we're holding out hope that Tanner's challenge at the end results in another video from Ford Racing...
