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

controller, Pioneer in-dash CD with Rockford Fosgate amp and Infinity 10" subs in custom boxes, alloy rims with 37x12.5-R16

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.

Focus STs for SEMA include Lotus and Gulf liveries, rally-fied police car

Tue, 22 Oct 2013

Ford, as we mentioned on Saturday, is pulling out all the stops for November's SEMA show, bringing 57 vehicles to the Las Vegas event. Ford will be staggering the release of its SEMA flotilla, though, so expect to hear a lot about the new additions to the fleet in the weeks to come. We already showed you the Fiesta, Fiesta ST and Mustang models that made up the first batch of SEMA cars. Next up, we have a quartet of modded Focus STs joining Ford's SEMA roster.
Our first Focus ST (pictured above) sports the legendary livery of Gulf Racing. The orange-on-blue scheme, which Ford helped make famous at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, has been updated for 2013, with a more vibrant blue. This ST was built by Universal Technical Institute, while the exterior was done by Neil Tjin of Tjin Edition. Side exhausts, a Vortech supercharger and a Motiv Concepts high-flow cat allow the ST to breathe a bit easier, while Forgestar wheels contrast well with the iconic paint scheme.
Focus ST number two has been done-up by PM Lifestyle and is inspired by "Southern California car culture." Sporting a sleek, pale blue paint job, there's also no shortage of carbon fiber on the car's exterior. The 2.0-liter, turbocharged, four-cylinder engine has been massaged by the likes of Banks Power, COBB Tuning and Ford Racing, while the suspension is wearing a shiny, new set of coilovers and sway bars. The meaty brakes, tucked behind 19-inch, Rotiform wheels, come from Wilwood, while the cabin has been fitted with a pair of Sparco Chrono seats and five-point, Schroth harnesses.

Watch this lead sled go rallying in Finland

Thu, 19 Jun 2014

Custom cars generally fit into neat little boxes in terms of how they are used. For example, you're unlikely to see a modded Corvette going rock crawling; it's just not what it's made for (though we bet it'd look awesome, for a minute). In the same way, chopped, channeled and customized '50s hot rods aren't really meant to go racing. They look great and go fast, but they are generally more cruisers than sports cars.
However, if this video is any indication, the people of Finland don't adhere in these stereotypes, because this rodder is happy to play in the dirt with his lead sled.
According to the video, the driver is a member of the Ford-Freak Club of Finland, and he clearly knows how to have some fun. Possibly inspired by his country's great rally drivers, he gets the tail way out going around this gently curving gravel track. The stunt is somewhat reminiscent of the stock cars races on the sand at Daytona Beach, and this is probably close to what it sounded like too. Scroll down to watch a very cool Finn getting his hot rod a little dirty.
