1995 Ford Bronco Xlt Full Size Big Bronco 4x4 5-speed Manual Transmission on 2040-cars
Glenview, Illinois, United States
This is my 1995 Ford Bronco XLT Full Size big Bronco 4x4 5-speed manual transmission...this Bronco is mechanically excellent, sound body with mininal dings and areas of rust...see photos. Black exterior with a gray interior. I purchased this to do a restoration. It was a Colorado truck by way of Dallas Tx when I purchased. It has some dings and paint needs attention but very presentable and drivable as is. It does have one area of rust that has finally taken hold on the left rear fender (as seen in photos). However, it is not yet "rotted" thru as the inside lip feels solid. the other areas you see are truly surface. It has NONE of the usual Bronco rust rot issues that you usually see. All is solid except as noted and very much a candidate for either full restoration or just inexpensive cosmetic touch up and driving. Mechanically I did everything to this car so that should not need any attention other than continued regular maintenance. When I got it in 2011, I did all fluids, belts, hoses ignition wiring and so forth. It has a completely replaced ignition and starting system from the battery to the starter...like new tires and so forth. The minor issues it has is the dash light for airbag blinks (4-2 I think) and the cable is stretching on the driver inside door handle opener but it works...I would replace but dont have the money...I would not be selling if I didnt need the money. The Air Conditiong works great. Heat works great. The rear window work great (only from the key in the door but not the dash switch)...The 5 speed (4 plus overdrive) manual transmission I had taken out and had it gone over and brought up to spec and replaced the clutch...pressure plate and throwout bearing...it gets 14 miles to the gallon...Bronco owners will appreciate that as Broncos can usually go at 9 mpg. I had all the brakes, rotor discs, fluid, lines and so on replaced or at least checked. Any questions let me know. Also, I wanted to mention, I only use synthetic oil and it does not leak or burn oil, the rear door and window work!, and you will see that the lower driver's side dash seems to be not installed...that is because I had removed an old alarm system and forgot to reinstall the fuse door and the panel screws but took the pictures anyway...its all good now. Very reliable and well maintained truck. Buy it and drive it anywhere and do the cosmetics at your leisure without the usual "pig in a poke" discovery of basic running gear that needs replacing. This one is solid.
And I DO RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END AUCTION EARLY AS I HAVE IT LISTED LOCALLY. Thanks for looking. |

Ford patents a multi-touch version of its classic keypad
Fri, Sep 9 2016For decades, Ford has offered a keypad on the doors of their cars that would allow owners access with the right code. Amazingly, the keypad has survived almost unchanged except for a recent touch button version. A new patent from the Blue Oval shows the keypad may get a big upgrade soon. The first big change is that it looks like the keypad may move to the key fob. Although it might be possible to have it on the car itself as well, the patent only seems to focus on the key fob. In addition, the fob will now be a multi-touch pad similar to that of modern smartphones. This will allow for more diverse code entries, according to the patent's description. Instead of just a simple number code, owners could enter a code that involves swipes and keystrokes, and even simultaneous keystrokes. For instance, you could enter a code that requires swiping from 1 to 3, followed by holding 2 and 4 to unlock the car. The patent also seems to indicate that this keypad would then display unlock functions and other functions on the fob after the correct code is entered, thus making it more than just a way to unlock the car. As for the practical implications of this keypad system update, it could provide an added layer of security. If someone steals your keys, they would have to also know your access code to get into the car. Whether this would also help make the key and car harder to hack would remain to be seen, though. Another possible benefit could be the prevention of accidental lock and alarm button presses, although that likely isn't a common issue. There could be potential downsides as well. If used as an extra layer of security, the legitimate owner would have to punch in their code on the fob to get in, which would render proximity key benefits relatively useless. Moving the keypad to the fob would also mean owners couldn't get into their cars without having the key with them. We don't have any clues as to when this could become a feature, but it doesn't seem like it would be difficult to implement, so it could show up in the next few years.

Ford Australia debuts Ranger-based Everest SUV concept
Tue, 13 Aug 2013Ford has been in hot water in Australia ever since it announced plans to end local production of the Falcon and Territory SUV. Besides canceling a model that is to Oz what the Mustang is to America, the end of production means more than a few folks will be out of work.
Keen to prove that it has a plan for the market, Ford has unveiled the Aussie-penned Everest Concept, a rough-and-tumble, seven-seat SUV. While not a direct replacement for the aging Territory (that role will eventually be filled by either the Edge or Flex, according to Car Advice) it's an indication from Ford's brass that the Blue Oval is still committed to Australia.
To prove that fact, Alan Mullaly, Mark Fields, Jim Farley and regional execs descended on Sydney for the debut of the new concept. Ford's Australian president and CEO, Bob Graziano, said of the Everest, "Our customers, our employees and Australia can be assured that we're connected to the nation and committed to our customers through terrific products with class-leading technologies."
McLaren, Koenigsegg, Toyota, Ford, Dodge and Corvette Lego kits announced for 2021
Tue, May 4 2021Lego has announced a slew of car-themed sets for 2021. The six kits comprise nine vehicles and fall under the brick pusher's Speed Champion line of official OEM-licensed kits. News of their arrival comes from German toy retailer JB Spielwaren's pre-order listings, which show three single-car sets and three dual-car sets of matched marques. Starting with the McLaren Elva roadster, the kit consists of 263 pieces and is finished in blue. It seems to have a difficult time capturing the curves of the real-life Elva, but there's only so much you can do with a bunch of plastic blocks. Lego has made several other McLaren kits before, including the Senna, 720S, and a more advanced Senna GTR for the Technics line. Next up is the Koenigsegg Jesko, made up of 280 pieces and finished in white. Though the real-life Jesko is still curvy, this kit does a better job of replicating its aggressive maw, vents and cantilevered rear wing. Rounding out the single-car sets is the 299-piece Toyota GR Supra in yellow. This marks the first time Toyota has lent their license to Lego. Again, it struggles a bit to represent the curvy Supra, relying on printed details like logos and headlights to identify. On the other hand, the Chevrolet two-car does a stupendous job with the 1968 Corvette. The C3 is instantly recognizable as such. The C8-R race car it's paired with suffers from the same issues as some of the previous cars, though. The set contains 512 pieces, and funnily enough the C8 driver has short hair while the C3 driver sports a period-correct wavy mane. The next set is a 627-piece Mopar-themed pair, including a purple (Plum Crazy?) 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A and an SRT top fuel dragster. The race car is spot on, but the Challenger was probably tough to make given the width restrictions. It looks a couple of pegs too narrow compared to the wide proportions of the real deal. Last but not least, the Ford set contains a Bronco R and Ford GT Heritage Edition. Consisting of 660 pieces, the set does an excellent job of representing both cars. The GT looks faithful in its Gulf livery, and the Bronco R looks more like a real Bronco than the actual Bronco R race truck. All in all, it's always fun to see more Lego sets with real cars, and we're glad to see more manufacturers added to the roster. The single-car sets are recommended for ages 7 and up, while the double-car sets have an 8 years and up rating. Price in U.S.
