 Hi
after a full frame-up restauration (incl. new custom made frame!) I?m going to sell this Ford Bronco Sport - I?m starting a new project :-)

This Bronco is actually better than new. 90% of all parts have been replaced by new original Ford Bronco parts!

All critical metal sheets have been proffesional welded. Truck is completely new painted - original "Calypso Coral". V8 350 engine is overhauled and tuned - VERY strong! Same with gearbox and transfer case. Also new: all drive shafts, exhaust, steering colum/wheel, brake system, differentals (limited slip). New BF Goodrich All Terrain Tires.

Underbody (and inside-floor) is profesionally industrial rhino-coated (see web: nashornhaut.de) and lasts forever. Lots of parts are powder-coated as well.
Full documentation (500 pictures; all receipts etc.).

This Early Bronco has a German oldtimer registration (T?V; H-Kennzeichen), which is equivalent with the US "historical car license". Not much to convince the authorities, that this vehicle is perfect (and save!) :-)
So many things to mention - please ask if you have further questions. I can send more pics if needed.

Personal comment: Please understand, that I spend more than 35k Euro in this car to get it where it is today. I understand that I will never get paid "my perfectionism" - but don?t come up with ridiculous offers.
This car is an investment in the future (there will be not more of such cars in the future - a threatened species!)

For shipping abroad I can help with some good, reasonable companies, that I always use to buy/ship cars from the US. Very easy and convenient door to door delivery. For example USA --> Germany door-to-door is about 2000 USD
Just ask your local shipping company (I used SATS; Interglobal etc.) Easy to find in the internet.

Have fun

Ford evaluating new Fiesta RS?

Wed, 08 Jan 2014

Word coming in from across the pond has it that Ford is working on developing the business case to create a new Fiesta RS. The development is encouraged by the extremely positive reception the existing Fiesta ST has garnered to date, and the emergence of the above-pictured Fiesta RS WRC rally car, but it'll take more than goodwill to make a more extreme version a reality.
According to Auto Express, a new roadgoing Fiesta RS would almost certainly be based closely on the ST version, albeit with some vital differences. Its 1.6-liter turbo four would be increased from 180 horsepower to somewhere around 230 hp, and that powertrain would be accompanied by lightweight alloys inside blistered wheel arches, a stripped-out interior and possibly lightweight bodywork.
The vehicle's approval would reportedly require a strong business case in Europe, and not just in the UK where Ford hot hatches traditionally enjoy a strong following. It's unclear whether the Fiesta RS would potentially make the transatlantic voyage to American showrooms, but between it and the larger Focus RS, hopefully the Blue Oval wouldn't leave its home market out of the action altogether.

First retail 2015 Ford Mustang headed to Barrett-Jackson

Fri, 20 Dec 2013

Want to be the very first person to own a 2015 Ford Mustang GT? Here's what you'll need to do: be in Scottsdale, AZ on January 18 for the Barrett-Jackson auction and bring a very big checkbook. Having a passion for charity isn't a bad idea either.
Yes, the first 2015 Mustang to be sold to the public will be crossing the block at Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale, with proceeds from the auction going to JDRF, the charity formerly known as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
"Ford Mustangs have always been among the most popular collector cars at Barrett-Jackson Collector Car events," said the president of Barrett-Jackson, Steve Davis. "While every collector wishes they had snapped up the first Mustang sold in 1964, this is an opportunity to realize that dream in a different way."

Motorweek goes retro with '80s hot hatch shootout

Mon, 03 Nov 2014

Motorweek's decades of history on television make it the perfect medium to look back into the automotive past and see how things are different now. It recently added old road test videos to its YouTube channel of the Acura NSX and Toyota Supra, as well as the Ferrari F40. For one of its newest flashback clips, Motorweek has exhumed an affordable five-car challenge of 1986's premiere hot hatches.
By today's standards, this is an eclectic field that features fondly remembered classics like the Volkswagen GTI 16-valve and Acura Integra. However, it also throws in some nearly forgotten contenders like the Dodge Colt Turbo and Ford Escort GT. The angular Toyota Corolla FX16 GT-S rounds out the group.
It's fascinating to watch Motorweek run the quintet through the slalom, down the drag strip and on various roads. What's most striking in this clip is the difference in the definition of a performance car between then and now. With its 16-valve, 1.8-liter four-cylinder, the GTI is the burliest of the contenders with 123 horsepower, but it still takes 8.8 seconds to reach 60 miles per hour. By today's standards, that would make it a plain-jane economy car, and not even a particularly quick one.
