All ("sales pitchs") aside, this is one bad a$$ Bronco! The only reason I am selling this car is because I have commitment issues when it comes to vehicles and I wanna start a new build. Truth be told; I'll likely end up buying this Bronco back in the future.

This 1969 early Ford Bronco is, in my opinion (and many), the best looking, fully modernized, Bronco available on the West Coast. ASC Broncos (Google them if you don't know) restored & built this Bronco so you know it was done by one of the best, most experienced (since '79) early Bronco builders on the West Coast. 

There has been a lot of talk about my Bronco actually being available for sale and I wanted to get this advert up to at least summarize some of the key things about it. I plan on updating this post with more pix and info (time permitting) until it has sold. 

This Bronco was built for SEMA and was chosen to be featured in Toyo Tires booth, this past year. This classic bronco is also the most "LIKE"d & searched Bronco on Instagram, ever! Search #projectbronco for photos dating back to the first week I purchased it. 

I have meticulously made sure this Bronco is one of the best ever made. You are not paying a premium because of the exposure this Bronco has received over the past couple years, you are paying what it is worth. I can count on two hands how many things on this vehicle have NOT been replaced, restored or modernized. 

This Bronco would run you $80-90k to be built by any of the top builders and would likely take 9-15 months to complete. I know, because I have first hand knowledge of every "high end" Bronco build done in California in the past 2 years and this is the BEST one with the exception of ICON's Broncos. Shoutout to Jonathan Ward, if you're reading this, your builds are the shit! Those, however, have a two year waiting list and will run you $150k+.

A lot of time and money have been invested into this Bronco in the last 2 years, it will be well worth the investment for the lucky buyer. This car is not a trailer queen, but sure as hell looks like one.

As I said, these are just SOME of the vehicles features. It would take me a week to list everything. If you've been looking at (high end) Broncos you will know upon seeing this build that this Bronco is like no other for all the right reasons. 

The ONLY issues with this Bronco, and I mean only, are that the transfer case & transmission leak a tiny bit. This is very common in early Broncos. I'v been told by several different mechanics that is not an issue to be worried about at all!

Ford idling Michigan Assembly Plant to trim Focus, C-Max supply

Tue, 22 Oct 2013

Ford will be putting the brakes on production at its Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne, MI, idling production during the weeks of October 28 and December 16. Ford is citing the first drop in US sales in 27 months, a 4.2-percent dip in September, as the impetus for trimming their supplies, according to Automotive News.
Ford's deft management of its supplies has been part of its success over the years, and seeing supplies of Focus and C-Max, the two vehicles built at MAP, rise from 58 and 108 days, respectively, to 71 and 122 days over the span of a month was apparently all that was need to justify the trimming. As AN points out, the rule of thumb for many automakers is to maintain a 60-day supply of vehicles.
"Ford has been focused on keeping their pricing in check. Their operating margin is in double digits. Nobody else is there and they're obviously very proud of that," Alan Baum, an auto analyst with Baum & Associates told AN. Keeping the supply chain operating smoothly and not increasing supplies too much is crucial to that healthy profit margin. After all, a large supply lowers prices ,which, in turn, cuts profit. So while this news might not be great for employees at MAP, who now have an extra two weeks of vacation time, it's far from a sign of problems in Dearborn. Quite the opposite, actually.

VW going turbo-only in 3 to 4 years

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

This really was a matter of when, rather than if. Volkswagen will apparently be the first manufacturer to phase out naturally aspirated engines in favor of turbocharging its full slate. VW is kind of responsible for ushering in this push towards small-displacement, turbocharged engines that's taken the industry by storm. When it dropped its direct-injection, 2.0-liter turbo in the 2005 GTI it demonstrated that strapping an iron long to an engine can enhance the powertrain as a whole. VW made fuel economy gains, while also giving a linear, non-laggy turbo experience that it has replicated, model-after-model, to this day.
Speaking with The Detroit News, Volkswagen's executive Vice President of Group Quality, Marc Trahan, told the paper that, "We only have one normally aspirated gas engine, and when we go to the next generation vehicle that it's in, it will be replaced. So three, four years maximum."
Really, it's hard to get teary-eyed about either of these engines going away. VW has access to smaller powerplants that could easily match the performance of the 2.5 five-cylinder and the 3.6 V6, while gobbling up less fuel and providing a better driving experience. What we are sad about is that a similar statement about the extinction of NA engines came from the Vice President of Powertrain Engineering at Ford, Joe Bakaj. We'd certainly get teary-eyed over a world without Ford's excellent 5.0-liter V8.

Man turns Ford Fiesta into a one-car band

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

The one-man band is a rather ridiculous idea, drawing up images of one person attempting to manipulate several instruments, at once, in a vain attempt at creating music. It's usually represented by silly scenes like this. Interestingly, the concept isn't much more successful when the "man" in "one-man band" is replaced with "car," as we see in this video.
It seems that someone rigged up and edited (699 times, we might add) a Ford Fiesta, a bucket, 12 PVC pipes and the natural sounds that a car makes to come up with a song. Now, we don't recognize the tune, so we've no idea if this is a cover or an original piece. And while it's hardly Beethoven, we have to admire the amount of effort the "conductor" went to in his attempt to turn a subcompact car into a musical instrument(s). Take a look (or listen) below for the entire video.
