Beautiful, low mileage, top of the line, tastefully upgraded, rust free, well maintained, desert Southwest, senior owned 1978 Ford Bronco Ranger XLT with only 66,691 original miles that runs and drives wonderfully. The husband of a friend of a friend recently passed away from cancer and she has asked me to sell off some of his collection. This beautiful Bronco is the first to make it to the auction block.
As 1978 - 1979 Broncos increase in value (full-size and last of the solid front axles) originality will become more and more important. Although the mods are tasteful and improve the performance of the vehicle, they are all bolt-on and easily reversible. That's an important point to remember. Below is a list of its goodies in no particular order... * Original 400M Cleveland Based V-8 (very possibly recently rebuilt - see below) * C-6 Automatic Transmission * New Process 205 Gear Driven Transfer Case * Dana 44 Front Axle * Ford 9 Inch Rear Axle * Air Conditioning * Power Steering * Power Brakes * Tilt Wheel * Grant GT Steering Wheel * Lift Kit (all bolt-on) * Rancho RS5000 Shocks (4 in front, 2 in rear) * Aftermarket Tires & Wheels (35x12.50/15) * Matching Spare Tire * Rear Mud Flaps * Warn Hubs * Steering Stabilizer * Polyurethane Bushings Front & Rear * Polyurethane Body Mounts * Edelbrock 1406 4bbl Carburetor * Edelbrock Cast Air Filter Assembly * Weiand 8010 Intake Manifold * Electronic Ignition * Mild Cam * Headers * 2 Into 1 Turbo Muffler With 3 Inch Exhaust * Front Bull Bar * KC Hilites Driving Lights * Chrome Rock Sliders/Side Steps * Towing Package * Autogage By Autometer Tachometer * Clarion Pro-Audio AM/FM/CD Player * New Battery * Bully Aluminum Throttle & Brake Pedals * Ford Racing Floor Mats The interior is in excellent condition for its age (see pics). Doors close tightly, windows roll up and down properly, AC works well and all switches, buttons and knobs still do their job (except horn and radio). Even the cigarette lighter works. Rear window rolls up and down well also. It looks scratched but the glass is good and only the tinting is affected. Minor stains on front seat. And the few dash cracks are a downside of spending its life in a dry, desert climate. The very straight and clean condition of the interior is what you would expect from a well-maintained, senior-owned and babied 36 year old vehicle. The exterior is in very good condition with one older respray in the original red and white. It has never had any rust anywhere ever (see pics). Any body imperfections are minor and clearly visible in the pictures. Lights work other than left front blinker. Tires are old and have some age-related cracking. The undercarriage is in great shape and I have many pictures showing every part of it. Front bumper has had some minor trimming done on the ends (see pics). All body moldings are still in place. They are in good shape other than small scratches/dents on grill corners. Removable top is in good condition. All glass is good. The running gear is exceptional. As summarized above, upgrades are tasteful and dramatically improve performance and drivability. I also have a strong suspicion the engine has been rebuilt in the recent past. Obviously, it is no longer Ford Blue and it runs as if it's brand new. There is no engine-colored overspray anywhere so it certainly wasn't just painted red while sitting in the engine compartment. In addition, it's clear this Bronco has been treated well it's entire life, both mechanically and cosmetically, so it's certainly a strong possibility. And as a result, it starts, runs, accelerates, turns, brakes and stops just the way it should (if not better). I would not hesitate to drive it cross-country today. My name is Chris and I am happy to answer your questions. Please call me at 435-669-1470. I also have tons of pictures that show every nook and cranny in great detail. Send me your email address and I'll get them to you. And this beautiful beast is ready to enjoy today so you may want to consider flying in and driving home. That would be a blast and I'd be happy to help facilitate it. This sweet 1978 Ford Bronco Ranger XLT is located in the dry, desert community of Hurricane, Utah (a little over 100 miles north of Las Vegas). Good luck and good bidding. |

Latest Forza Horizon 3 car pack features a Skyline and a fast Swedish wagon
Tue, Jan 3 2017The steady stream of Forza Horizon 3 car packs shows no signs of slowing down, and the latest Rockstar Energy Drink pack includes enthusiast favorites such as the R31 Skyline and the Volvo V60 Polestar. The car pack also features a couple of sporty two-doors and some off-road oriented machines. Luxury-minded players will be pleased to see both the Bentley Bentayga and BMW i8 make an appearance. People more concerned with ultimate performance will have a different pair to consider. Players will want to check out the Ford trophy truck for busting dunes, and the Radical RXC Turbo for race-car levels of pavement performance. Finally, yet another classic Aussie muscle car appears in the pack: the 1972 Ford Falcon XA GT-HO. For those interested in the new rides, this car pack is included in the Forza Horizon 3 Car Pass, or can be purchased on its own. If only one or two vehicles are must-haves, it's also possible to purchase the cars individually.

This unique '64 Mustang was Edsel Ford II's first car
Thu, 02 Jan 2014You probably had the same dream when you were a teenager. Your sixteenth birthday is coming up, or Christmas, or maybe both, and all you want is a muscle car to call your own. That dream has come true for some, and one of them was none other than Edsel Ford II.
Henry Ford's great grandson turned 16 on December 27, 1964 - two days after Christmas and eight months after the original Mustang went on sale. And that's just what was waiting for him in the driveway, courtesy of his father (and reigning chief executive) Henry Ford II.
The specially-prepared pony car had a pearlescent cream paintjob with narrow blue racing stripes, functional hood scoop, chrome trim, Euro-spec fender-mounted mirrors, a blue leather and aluminum interior, a monogrammed fuel cap... and a 289-cubic-inch V8 under the hood.
2015 Ford Expedition
Mon, 21 Jul 2014While the tide of bigger-is-better SUVs has been in recession since, well, the recession, fullsize utes are still very much with us. Conservative creatures that have been loathe to evolve, fullsize SUVs nonetheless remain enduringly popular among large families, livery customers, and anyone with lots of friends, relatives, and toys to tug around. With respect to Toyota and Nissan, the only players that really matter in the segment are the new-for-2015 Chevrolet Tahoe/Suburban, the GMC Yukon/Yukon XL, and this truck: the Ford Expedition, the latest evolution of which we just drove for the first time at a press preview in West Virginia.
Unlike the General Motors utilities, the standard Expedition and the long-wheelbase Expedition EL are not all-new, but rather are heavily refreshed versions of the same basic truck Ford started selling way back in 2007. The front fascia is where most of the exterior update happens for 2015, with a new three-bar grille design, halogen projector headlamps, and new bumper design with available LED foglamps. Despite all the new bits, the facelift breaks exactly zero ground in terms of design; in fact, it already looks dated, and will only look older once the macho 2015 F-150 bows later this year. Even less has changed out back, where the tailgate gets a wide chrome band spanning the taillamps and a new chrome exhaust tip. Other exterior changes are generally limited to colors and an all-new wheel lineup that includes a gleaming set of six-spoke 22-inch polished wheels on high-end models.
Speaking of high-end models, a new Platinum trim is positioned above the cowboy-spec King Ranch model for 2015. Both the Platinum and King Ranch get their own color combos and exterior trim finishes (satin metal for the Platinum, chrome everywhere and ginormous badges for the King Ranch) and posh, leather-lined interiors with their own aesthetic. The Expedition family also now includes a price-leading XL model, as well as XLT and Limited grades.
