This was a Gentlemen's retirement project for me, and now that it's completed goes to a new Home. This Bronco has it all, and then some. I've spared no expense in getting it the way I wanted it, putting over $8,000.00 in to the project on top of a $6500.00 purchase price. I always over spend on my Vehicles but that's the fun of it.  I owned a Eddie Bauer Bronco in 1996 and wanted to enjoy one again, so purchased this one.  Redone from front to back.Mostly upgraded parts at that. New Black factory paint, over previous factory Black paint. Paint was showing signs of fading. I give the paint job a 8.5 out of a possible 10. It does have some minor small scratches but are hard to see.  Unlike most Bronco's, this one has no rust issues that I could find.  All doors and window seals have been replaced with new rubber. I replaced the drivers side wing window assembly and glass because it didn't seal correctly. The Tail gate Window was replaced, along with the Window / Tail gate seal's as well.  It wouldn't defrost so out it went and the new one installed. A new and bright LED brake and white light was installed as well. New custom installed high intensity lights in the bumper, along with all new Lens both front and rear. The 4000K white headlights look super bright, and with the additional two bumper lights really light up the road. All double and triple fused I might add.  Grill guard just installed, along with a new Windshield and rubber seal.  Truck wears a custom Bra on the hood, which I take off when washing the Bronco. 

All fluids from front to back have been changed, and the Transmission was just serviced. Engine and transmission run strong and smooth and the engine use's no Oil. I have been able to get 16.0 MPG on the Freeway. 4 wheel and 4 wheel low work perfectly and the dash light light's up to indicate so. All new Belt's, new idler arms, new Alternator, new thermostat, water pump, new Anti-freeze, along with a new Air conditioning compressor. 

, A new Costco 1000 CCA Battery was just installed to provide maximum power for you.  Over sized sway bars both front and rear for super flat cornering. Four new struts up front, with 2 new shocks in the rear. ( all Gabriel ) Front end alignment was done when the Strut's were replaced. This Truck drives as straight as an Arrow, when you take your hand's off the Wheel. I put a custom Class III trailer hitch on the truck for towing. This rig could pull a Boat or Trailer with no problem at all! Seven point plug in and wired. No check engine lights are on!


New Rotors and Pad's at all four corners with rebuilt Calipers. Four new B F G 265 / 70/ R 15 M & S Tires, and near perfect factory rims with no road rash. Wheel locks for all four wheels and the spare, which is close to new as well.  All rims received new center caps, A new spare tire cover to round out the outside appearance of the truck was put on. New Catalytic converters ( 2 ) and new 02 sensors just installed as well, along with a new Flowmaster muffler with a polished aluminum tail pipe. It has a soft but low throaty rumble to it. Not " Kid loud" though!  Locking gas cap for the 32 gallon gas tank. .  Engine doesn't use or leak Oil, and the 351 motor is super strong with all new plugs, and plug wires as well. Fuel injection service has been done. Air filter was changed over to a K & N system for better breathing. Truck passed Washington state's tough DEQ emissions test with flying colors. Many suspension bushings replaced as well!

The interior is like new, meaning the seat's ( lumbar works ) headliner, door panels, and the carpet are all in great shape. Anything that looked worn from age I replaced. All electrical works as it should and the Air blows Ice cold. The courtesy lights in the overhead console work, as does the Compass. I took out the old cassette radio and installed a new high end Pioneer AM/FM / CD / IPOD / Bluetooth Stereo, I don't have the old radio and it didn't work anyway. Upgraded top end speakers, along with a new 200 Watt Amplifier for incredible sound. While at the Stereo shop, I had a $650.00 Avital Alarm system installed with a kill-switch. Back side windows had been tinted for privacy, and the back seat look's like no one has ever sat in it.  The stereo is set up for a phone with a mic, and along with the Ipod Classic sit's in a factory cut out in the lower dash. I just put on the new chrome wheel lip's yesterday so no dings yet. I have two front fender Bronco plaques ( Eddie Bauer ) but haven't put them on. Present one's are good. but these look newer. I replaced most badges with new one's, and added a few new one's as well, ie; Eddie Bauer on the Tail Gate, 5.8 Litre on Tailgate ( lower left )  4 X 4 on front lower drivers side, and a 5.8 on the front passenger side..

For the BIN buyer, I will throw in a top end Magellan GPS ( $250.00 ) and a new better then factory quality Eddie Bauer Carpet kit ( $650.00 ).  Kit covers the front seat area, back seat area, and the storage carpet area including the wheel bumps.  As I said, the carpet doesn't need replacing at all, but I thought down the road it might so bought the carpet kit  .In addition I will fill the trucks gas tank with Gas for you. Truck comes with all Book's, Brochures and receipts, You get a repair manual for the truck, along with other part's manuals as well. I even have the original sales brochure for you.  I have a clear title to the truck.  I've done so much to the Bronco, I can't even remember everything.  This Bronco is a Classic and will only go up in value, so buy it and enjoy it as it does!  I'm located in the Portland Oregon metro area about 15 minutes from the Portland Airport, if you want to fly in and drive the Bronco home. I welcome a PPI on the Bronco if you have any doubt's about the quality of the Truck.  I have no idea what the minor accident was but was classified as a minor issue.  I also have no idea other then the amount of owners why it's number is so low.  My research tell's me that two it passed through two dealers and 3 owners.  That's to be expected with 100K on the Clock.  The value of the Bronco to you is what shape it's in now, and that's in pretty close to new condition. I welcome and encourage you to have a P P I done so that you can see that the Bronco is everything I've described here.  I have 3 local garages for you to chose from. All are honest and all are Ace Mechanic's!

This Bronco need's nothing but someone to enjoy it. Be it on road or off road!,  You won't find another Bronco in the shape this one is in.  It may have 100K on the Clock, but look, drives, and feel's like a brand new one! Any question call Ed @ 360 901-1545

2013 Ford Mustang V6

Mon, 10 Jun 2013

Secretary Trim, Evolved
There was a time not so long ago when opting for a base Ford Mustang meant getting little more than some sheetmetal, an anemic four-cylinder engine and what may very well have been the world's most disappointing automatic transmission. During the Fox Body years, Ford seemed hell-bent on living up to Carroll Shelby's derogatory description of the coupe as little more than a runabout for demure office assistants, and the result was a base model with fewer sporting intentions than a Dilbert day calendar.
Some 20 years later, hopping behind the wheel of an entry-level pony is an entirely different experience. With all of the menacing aesthetics of the brawnier GT, a well-equipped interior and a drivetrain that toes the line between efficiency and power better than few before it, the 2013 Ford Mustang V6 is an attractive option for buyers in the big coupe market. But is it attractive enough to forgo the beastly GT?

2020 Ford Explorer nabs IIHS Top Safety Pick+ rating after updates

Mon, Sep 21 2020

The 2020 Ford Explorer has been named a Top Safety Pick+ by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the agency's best rating. The redesigned Explorer initially fell short of that mark, however, only making the grade after Ford introduced a running change to the vehicle's design starting in May 2020 — a change made to the 2020 Lincoln Aviator as well. To achieve a Top Safety Pick+ award, a vehicle must have a Good performance rating in all six of the agency's crash tests. It also must have Acceptable or better ratings for all of its available headlamps and must earn Advanced or Superior ratings for its automated collision avoidance systems in tests of their performance against pedestrians and other vehicles. The 2020 Explorer initially achieved only an Acceptable performance in the IIHS's driver's-side small-overlap crash test, as the agency found a risk of injury to the driver's left foot due to intrusion into the footwell. Ford subsequently modified the design of the front subframe in a running change to Explorers and to Lincoln Aviators built after May 2020. The modified Explorer was re-tested, and this time the model achieved a Good performance in the driver's small-overlap test. That, combined with a Superior performance in both tests of the standard collision-avoidance system plus Acceptable ratings for both headlight systems, pushed the 2020 Explorer over the goal line to Top Safety Pick+. The Aviator, which shares the Explorer's platform, has received the same modification and achieves the same crashworthiness ratings. However, its standard headlights are judged Marginal, and therefore the 2020 Aviator achieves only the Top Safety Pick rating (even though its optional curve-adaptive LED headlights are judged Good).

Ford dealer loses Super Bowl bet, pays $300K to lucky customers [w/video]

Tue, 11 Feb 2014

A Missouri Ford dealership's Super Bowl weekend sale cost it big when the improbable happened. Hutcheson Ford ran a promotion from January 29 to February 1, called the Super Weekend Sale. The gist was, if any customer purchased a vehicle between those dates and either the opening or second-half kickoff of the big game was returned for a touchdown, the dealership would refund the purchase price.
In the dealership's defense, it seemed like a safe bet. According to the mathematicians, there was just a 2.5-percent chance of either half opening with a touchdown return. But that didn't stop Seattle's Percy Harvin from doing his part to ruin Denver's evening, returning the second-half kick for an 87-yard touchdown run. Twelve Hutcheson customers were eligible for refunds thanks to the return, with prices ranging from $10,000 to $55,000, according to Automotive News. The total amount shelled out by the dealership? $300,000.
"At least we're not like that furniture guy that lost $7 million," dealership marketing manager Kathleen Frazier told AN. We think it was a big success." The dealership did take out insurance to cover its losses, meaning the $300K won't come entirely from its pockets.
