AMAZING Original Classic 1969 Ford Bronco, 302 V-8 Showroom Piece
The truck is an unrestored, original
paint (*mostly), 1969 with almost 47,000 miles. She has all the manuals,
etc., everything works, no rust, other than what you'd expect with some areas
that the paint has worn thin..... nothing that has damaged the surface (*one
exception). The tires are good, the shocks, battery are new. The
A/C was recharged before each summer, but works fine for a 1969 model.
Truly, the truck is designed to have good airflow through vents, so
unless it gets over 98 degrees in Charleston, I don't use the A/C. The engine runs great and has always been tuned by a local classic car guy who owns a shop and knows how to tune properly. She has the original distributor and runs points. Never upgraded to electronic ignition as it's easy to care for and really kind of cool being original. The exhaust is also original and works well. Both fuel tanks work well and the valve to switch tanks works also. All instrument panels and lights, gauges work. The Warn winch on the front is original, but was on a brush guard that I thought was ugly. I took it off and had a two-inch receiver and winch carrier made for it by a friend who builds t-tops for boats. It works well and I have used it to pull brushes from the front of our yard. Because of this, I put a re-manufactured Chrome front bumper on it. I haven't looked, but original front bumpers are available, even if they have to be re-chromed. It has some factory options, the 4:10 rear differential and 9" Ford rear axle. That means with the 302 V-8 (first year of what would become the 5.0 Mustang motor in the early 80's - underrated at 205 bhp and 300 lb/ft of torque) and the three speed manual column shifter (3-on-the-tree) get poor gas mileage (about 10mpg), but will climb the side of a mountain like a billy-goat. It's purpose built, of course. The seats, headliner, radio (AM), antenna..... really everything I can think of looks and works well. I have cleaned everything in the vehicle and had to replace the rubber door seals, because they were worn out. Let's see.... the asterisks: *mostly = someone touched up the paint on the tailgate and grill up front. I retouched the front when I bought it in 2008. Also, I repainted the interior of the floor pans. *one exception = the floorpans. They are fine now, but when I bought the truck, it had the original floor mat and water had leaked under it. I pulled it up and there was a little rust there. I removed the rust and painted it with Rust Reformer paint/ primer. No issues since then. Looks fine and no one knows any difference. History: The original owner bought the truck in '69 from Woody Anderson Ford in Huntsville, AL. He traded it back in 1991 and Mr. Anderson kept it on the showroom floor for about ten years saving it for his grandson. Apparently, the grandson didn't want it in favor of a new Mustang and he sold it to a friend who kept it at his lake house in a garage in Huntsville until he got bored with it and had his son-in-law sell it to me. The reason I'm selling it: I bought it with the intention of having a "beater" 4x4 to tow a boat, run errands, etc. and when I got it I realized it was special. Everyone told me to keep it like a museum piece. I have done so for several years, and it's a lot of fun. I can't get out of a gas station without a conversation explaining Jeep vs Scout vs Bronco to someone or get an offer to purchase. More recently, I saw a Jay Leno's Garage episode where he was testing an Icon Bronco built by Jonathan Ward in LA, CA. I have become telephone friends with Jonathan and considered sending the truck to him for a restoration/ mod and he basically told me not to. He said it would be better to sell it and buy a Bronco in bad shape to create a resto-mod. I drive a Toyota Land Cruiser on a daily basis and to haul my family, etc. and I thought it would be cool to have an old FJ40 also. My wife threatened to kill me if I buy another classic 4x4 without selling the Bronco first..... hence..... up for auction she goes. She was used a few weeks ago by CBS in a pilot filmed in Charleston because the director, Gary Fleder, had them search for an old, classic Bronco. They found me through a local Bronco club. I think they want to use it in the series, if picked up for production.... which is kind of cool, then the new owner could work that deal. The Bronco is
located in Charleston, SC if you'd like to come check her out prior to

2017 Ford GT spied in the raw
Thu, May 14 2015The Ford GT supercar is finally going outside to play, and it has been captured for the first time prowling the streets near Ford's compound in Dearborn, MI. Due in late 2016, the GT has been one of Ford's most closely guarded projects and was developed under a veil of secrecy. The prototype revealed at the Detroit Auto Show stunned enthusiasts, and these shots illustrate that it's making the leap to production reality. As our spy shooter wryly notes, the mule captured in these photographs looks like a Mad Max prop. It's colorless, is missing key body parts – note the ringless taillights and lack of a rear bumper or diffuser. It also looks to be even lower to the ground than the concept from the Detroit show. It appears to have different mirrors and windshield wipers. The lack of some body panels also calls out the exhaust pipes, which look like tail guns in these shots. Otherwise, this test car looks just like the auto show star, and sans paint it manages to appear even more sinister. Though these spy shots indicate the GT is on track for production, Ford has been pretty up front about what the car will be when it arrives in showrooms. We know it will have a twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. It will make extensive use of carbon fiber and feature a driver-oriented, contemporary-styled interior. Canadian company Multimatic will build the GT. The Le Mans-inspired supercar is the standard-bearer for Ford's renewed performance push. The automaker plans to roll out at least 12 sporting cars by 2020 as it looks to lure new buyers to its fold. Ford also using developments from these high-end cars to improve its lineup, and will it spread aerodynamics and materials technologies across its portfolio. "It's another proof point about how serious we are in developing innovation through performance," Ford product chief Raj Nair has said.

Ford Mustang GT Bi-Fuel CNG
Tue, 23 Jul 2013Highly intrigued, we recently visited a Southern California Gas Company office to check out several hybrid vehicles promising something new. Unlike more commonplace gasoline-electric hybrids, we were there to evaluate innovative gasoline-compressed natural gas (CNG) hybrids - yes, they run on unleaded gasoline and compressed natural gas. According to the experts on hand, this arrangement delivers extended range and reduced emissions while chipping in with lower operating costs than pure-gasoline vehicles. There are advantages over its gasoline-electric counterparts, as well.
The program is part of a three-way collaboration between The Carlab, a Southern California-based automotive consulting firm, Landi Renzo USA, a company specializing in alternative fuel solutions, and America's Natural Gas Alliance, a group that promotes CNG. Long story short, the team has engineered a way to allow a modified internal combustion vehicle to seamlessly switch between two fuels (gasoline and CNG) with no driver intervention. In theory, and if it works as well as promised, it's a win-win for the vehicle owner and the environment.
Parked at the Gas Company office were six different gasoline-CNG hybrid vehicles. To demonstrate the technology's versatility (just about any gasoline vehicle may be modified) Carlab brought a varied assortment of bodystyles, each from a different automaker. After taking a quick glance at the half-dozen in the parking lot, we made a beeline for the performance-oriented Ford Mustang GT - a 2012 model - with the six-speed manual gearbox.
Ford driving Alaskan maniac rams toddler-carrying SUV
Mon, Jul 25 2016A couple from Anchorage had a frightening traffic encounter when they were followed and repeatedly rammed by a stranger in a pickup truck. Grace Bernert, her boyfriend, and his two-year-old daughter were returning home from a trip to downtown Anchorage when they noticed a blue, 2001 Ford F-150 following closely behind them. "The guy was so close, we couldn't see his headlights," Bernert told KTVA. Bernert, who was riding shotgun, pulled out her phone to record the truck when it struck the rear end of their Acura SUV. That's when she called 911. Bernert's boyfriend tried to lose the F-150 in the Sullivan Arena parking lot, then drove to a local Ford dealer's parking lot where he drove through a maze of new Ford pickups in an attempt to shake their assailant. "We started doing circles around the brand new Fords because we thought the truck wouldn't be able to turn as fast as we would," said Bernert. "We were right, but the guy didn't care. He just kept hitting the new fords and backing up, coming after us." The truck continued to follow them, ramming the Acura again and again. Bernert estimates that F-150 driver struck their SUV between five and seven times, and hit numerous new trucks in the dealership parking lot. Eventually, they ducked into a nearby neighborhood where they managed to lose the F-150 and called 911. Bernert told KTVA that she believes they were targeted but doesn't know why. "The guy was either some random sick person who didn't care, or somebody who knew us and didn't care there was a kid in the car," she said. Anchorage Police arrived shortly after the couple escaped the F-150 and filed a report about the incident. They are currently investigating. Recent Video:
