You are bidding on a very rare and very cool 4-door Ford Bronco built on the frame of a Ford F350 1-ton truck  ... This Bronco was the precursor to the Excursion, is in very nice condition inside and out, has always been serviced and is very well optioned (see description below for a list of all options and mods).  The odometer shows 43,245 on it, which from the records I believe is the current mileage on the 460 motor following a rebuild in 2002.  The F350 frame showed 125,900 for the mileage in 2003.  The body was from a 1989 Bronco and does not have a VIN associated with it.  This truck was built as an off-road vehicle so the previous owner didn't care about the interior or a perfect paint job.  He had his body man spray the truck matte black over the green and tan factory paint.  The interior is nice but not perfect.  The seats and dash are the best part, as I personally would replace the carpet and headliner.  The body is straight with no rust issues, and the engine runs very strong.  The upgrades were done correctly with high quality parts.  Everything electrical works as designed.  It drives very well, even with the lift and large tires.  The title history report shows two accidents, but the only thing carried over from the F350 donor vehicle is the frame and axles.  The Bronco donor body had no accident history and is still clear of dents, dings, etc. Photos show the condition the most accurately, so please request them.  It's a very cool, rare Bronco!


Additional Details:

(VIN: 2FTJW36G6KCA17910), matte black / tan cloth int., auto trans., 43,250 miles shown on odo., this is a very rare Ford

Bronco modified by Centurion Vehicles out of MI into a 1-ton, 4-door Bronco.  These were available new through Ford dealer

ships, and these were the precursors to the 2000 Excursion.  This Centurion features the following upgrades and Options:

windshield visor and roof rack, 7.5L 460 big block with side exit exhaust, MSD ignition, K&N air filter, C-6 auto trans with HD

torque converter and shift kit, balanced steel driveshaft, F350 1-ton frame, axles and suspension, 2H/4H/4L selectable 4x4,

Skyjacker lift kit, 3rd row seating w/ second row bench, power driver seat with lumbar, power front windows & rear window /

locks / cruise, tilt steering wheel, interior wood package, overhead console package, towing package with electric brake

GoodYear Wrangler MT mud tires, over $7,200.00 invested in the mods, not including the F350 or Bronco!  If you want some

thing rare and unique with the ability to haul 9 people and their luggage this is the truck for you.  You won't ever see another

one of these on the road or at you local 4x4 show.


About Centurion conversion:

From the late 1980s through its demise in 1996, the Bronco was also sold at Ford dealerships as a modified 4-door SUV (making

it similar to the Excursion or Suburban). These 4-door Broncos were converted by Centurion Vehicles of White Pigeon, Michigan.

The conversion involved combining a new club cab short bed F-Series truck with a Bronco body, tailgate and fiberglass top. The

end result?  A huge, versatile, extremely rugged SUV.  In addition to adding a third row of seats and more room, a Bronco Centurion

could be ordered using an F-350 as the donor pickup, allowing the Centurion to have such engines as the 7.3L PowerStroke turbo

diesel and the 7.5L 460ci gasoline V8.  This made the Centurion more appealing to people in need of a comfortable tow vehicle,

albeit a faster one.  Over time the few of these cars that still exist are rare and valuable, except for the certain percentage of Northern

cars that suffered from tailgate rust-out due to poor body paint preparation.  The Bronco Centurion could be ordered with options

such as a third-row seat that can be folded into a bed, second row bucket seats, a TV with a VCR, and a built-in radar detector.

2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E, Volvo XC40 Recharge score high in IIHS tests

Thu, Apr 22 2021

New electric cars continue their streak of impressive crash test results. The two latest to go through Insurance Institute for Highway Safety testing are the 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E and the 2021 Volvo XC40 Recharge. The former earned a Top Safety Pick award, and the latter picked up the Top Safety Pick+ commendation. Both vehicles got the top "Good" rating in every crash test, as well as the "Superior" rating for vehicle-to-vehicle collision prevention. They deviate when it comes to headlights and vehicle-to-pedestrian collision prevention. Because the Volvo has headlights rated "Good" on all trims, it got that extra "+" on its Top Safety Pick award. The Ford also has high-rated headlights available, but the standard units got the second lowest rating of "Marginal." As for the vehicle-to-pedestrian collision prevention, the Volvo received the second-highest "Advanced" rating, while the Ford was rated "Superior." Among the electric cars IIHS has tested, the Ford and Volvo continue a streak of high scores. The organization has evaluated the Audi E-Tron in both its body styles, as well as the Tesla Model 3, both of which get the Top Safety Pick+ rating. As a result of the XC40 Recharge's test score, Volvo pointed out that it is the only automaker whose entire lineup has received a Top Safety Pick+ rating.

Livestream: Ricardo Innovation & Sustainability Symposium 2015

Thu, Mar 19 2015

Making decisions on how to invest billions of dollars in future technology is scary even if you're developing something as simple as a smartphone. But when you've got to invest that money in something as complex as a car – one that might drive itself, or operate just on electricity, or even possibly be crash-proof – that task becomes daunting. Today, at 9:00AM, a slate of auto industry leaders are gathering at automotive supplier Ricardo to celebrate the company's 100-year anniversary by looking toward the future. Moderated by Autoblog Editor-in-Chief Sharon Carty, the panel will talk about Ford's vision for the future, look at battery development, environmental issues, and may even debate the future of flying cars. Maybe. If you're interested in following along, take a look at the livestream. Government/Legal Green Ford Technology Emerging Technologies Videos ricardo Sakti3

Reflecting on the Ford GT on its 10-year anniversary

Thu, 10 Apr 2014

Ten years ago, during the bright-eyed enthusiasm of the early 2000s and before the collective automotive industry did its best Titanic impression, we had the Ford GT. An everyman's supercar like there'd never been (remember, this was before 638-horsepower Corvettes were a thing), the GT arrived with a supercharged, 5.4-liter V8 that produced 550 horsepower and graced this retro-styled rocket with an easy, sub-four-second sprint to 60 miles per hour.
Equal to the GT's performance were its looks. Inspired by the GT40 racers that dominated Le Mans and bested Ferrari in the 1960s, the sleek, low, almost-reptilian look of the GT was the absolute pinnacle of the retro styling that so defined the early 2000s.
Crank and Piston put together a video celebrating the ten-year-old GT, arguing that Ford is a bit too busy with the next-gen Mustang, which turns 50 next week, to do it themselves. In the short clip, there is gratuitous engine noise and supercharger whine, not to mention scenes of the white-on-red GT prowling the deserts and streets of Dubai. It's a bit short, but very nicely shot. Scroll down, have a look and be sure to turn up those speakers before getting started.
