VINTAGE 1977 FORD BRONCO

DESCRIPTION:  If you are looking for a clean, straight forward vintage Bronco then look no further!  This Bronco is extremely clean inside and out.  The value of vintage Broncos continues to escalate.  This is a not only a fun vehicle to own, it's also a sound investment.  It kills me to sell this unique Bronco.  I drove it out to Venice, CA 18 months ago and cruised in style beachside.  I shipped it back to Indianapolis 5 months ago.  This Bronco is ready for you to drive, show and enjoy the classic styling.  I have owned many cars and I have never experienced the love I get from people when I drive this Bronco around town.  It's like being on parade.  Truthfully, people comment so often that it's almost annoying. The color is so beautiful and clean.

I have been amazed how well this Bronco drives.  For a vehicle that is over 35 years old it drives like a dream.  I would be away from Venice for months and it would start right up. You can tell it's never been abused.  The motor runs smooth and quiet.  The power steering makes navigation effortless.  The brakes have been worked on and I have fairly new pads, but I will say it doesn't stop like a modern disc brakes.  It takes getting used to, but they work perfectly.  The body panels are straight and fit very well.  All the doors open and close effortlessly.  I believe my reserve is quite low for this vehicle.  I had it appraised in LA in Sept for several thousand more.

BODY:  This Bronco was solid to start with.  There is a little rust bubbling on the back tailgate and above the windshield wipers, but it's hardly noticeable and could easily be fixed.  The body is original sheet metal.  The body was stripped down to bare metal then primed with epoxy and urethane primers.  I had Ziebart spray the underbody ($400) in October. 

FRAME / SUSPENSION:  The frame is extremely clean.  I put on new heavy GVW springs 2 years ago.  They are in great shape.  The rear axle is a 9 inch set with 3.50 gears which is all very tight.  The front axle is a Dana 44 and is set with 3:50 gears, this is also tight and completely rebuilt.  The frame does have one small repair on the front crossmember.  It looks like someone had a tow hood welded on at one time.

ENGINE:  The engine is the original equipment to this Bronco.  I had the engine rebuilt in Venice for $2,000 at ASC Bronco.  They are the best at what they do.  I did a compression check and all 8 cylinders fall within spec (140-145 psi).  It runs very strong and sounds great.

TRANSMISSION:  The transmission is a stock 1977 Bronco 3 speed automatic which was rebuilt 2 1/2 years ago.  The transfer case is a stock Dana 20. which works great.  The shifter moves in & out of gears smoothly.  The front lock hubs are in full functioning order.  The automatic steering column was also completely rebuilt.  

WHEELS:  The rims are 15x8 aluminum Ford mods with 32x11.50 mud terrain tires.  The tires have 60% tread and two of the rims have slight pitting.  The tires have lots of life in them.

STEERING:  The Bronco has factory power steering which works great!  The tie rod ends and drag link are good.  All ball joints are in great condition.  There are factory rebuilt drum brakes.  It stops great but it takes getting used to applying a little more force than you do with new cars.  

ELECTRICAL:  The entire dash and engine wire harness was removed from the Bronco and fixed.  The wire harness was stripped of old tape.  All lights and turn signals work except the light for the license plate is not working.  I replaced the bulb but for some reason it is not coming on.  Other than that it's great.  The glove box has been replaced.  The factory heater is great.  I am having a small issue with one of the windshield wipers going a bit too high up.  They work, but it's got a glitch.

INTERIOR:  The inside of the Bronco has been completely sprayed with Urethane Bed Liner by a professional dealer.  It looks great.  The seats are OEM Factory Bronco seats.  The seat belts are OEM correct units for this Bronco.  I have a new hardtop that is removable.  This car is simply beautiful.  I installed a new stereo with CD player along with speakers.  They are concealed in a really cool middle console.  

EXTRA:  This is a true 77 with gas filter doors on the rear quarter panels.  This was a change made to the 1977 model.

TERMS:  Important!  This Bronco is for sale locally too so I reserve the right to end this auction at any time.  I've been trying to delay selling it because I love it so much but I'm going to put a sign in the window and drive it around.  It is such an attention getting that I'm not sure what will happen.  I'm being honest.  Please do not ask what the reserve is, but make your best offer.  It is also sold as is without any warranty.  I require a $1,000 nonrefundable deposit with in 48 hours of close.  This must be made as a postal money order.  No bank checks.  Cash would be accepted if done in person.  The remaining balance is due in 7 business days.  This has to be cash or wire transfer.  I will not release the Bronco or it's title until full payment is made.  All payments would be made to Will Howe.

SHIPPING:  Yes, I will ship the Bronco but it will be at your expense.  You must make the arrangements or you can come pick it up in Indianapolis, Indiana.

2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost loses big power on 87 octane

Mon, Jan 5 2015

The 2015 Ford Mustang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder is a pretty potent package on paper. With 310 horsepower and 320 pound-feet of torque, it boasts better performance numbers than the 3.7-liter V6, but with better fuel economy as an added benefit. However, if you're in the market for one of these boosted 'Stangs, you should probably keep in mind that it really prefers to gulp premium, 93-octane fuel. It can drink 87-octane swill in a pinch, but you're going to find significantly less power underfoot when pulling away. While it's not shocking that the ponies are dialed back with a lower grade of gasoline, an alleged page from a Ford training manual obtained by Mustang 6G purports to show just how much power is lost, though. According to this document, the 2.3-liter EcoBoost makes 275 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque when running on lower octane fuel. That's a substantial reduction of about 11.3 percent compared to when the engine drinks 93 octane. Interestingly, according to Mustang 6G, that finding was a bit better than expected, because a Ford engineer reportedly said power would be down about 13 percent without altering peak torque. In speaking with Autoblog, Paul Seredynski of Ford powertrain communications, objected to part of this document. While he couldn't confirm the specific losses listed for the Mustang EcoBoost, "torque remains unchanged" with lower octane gasoline, Seredynski said. He speculated this training manual page was "possibly from before the engine was certified" and therefore showed incorrect figures. Serendynski did confirm that the automaker recommends using 93 octane, and like all modern engines, the software adapts if it's lower. "Peak power would be reduced" by using a lesser grade, he confirmed.

Tanner Foust gets eponymous hotted-up Ford Focus ST from Cobb Tuning

Thu, 14 Mar 2013

Racer and Top Gear USA host Tanner Foust has partnered up with Cobb Tuning to create a special-edition Ford Focus ST. The limited-edition hatches will come packing a reflashed ECU, special intercooler, tweaked intake and freer-flowing exhaust for up to 20 percent more power than the stock creation. Cobb says that the changes should push the final dyno figure to above 300 horsepower. Buyers can also expect to find special carbon fiber aerodynamic bits on board along with a new grille, graphics and wheels. Cobb hasn't released pricing on this Tanner Foust Edition Ford Focus ST as of yet, but you can bet the whole kit won't be cheap.
Fortunately, the company will sell you bits and pieces from the overall package for your Ford, and word has it engineers are also whipping up a Foust Fiesta ST. Look for Cobb's Focus ST website to go live next month, complete with accurate specs and pricing. Until then, enjoy clicking through the gallery here.

Ford Australia debuts Ranger-based Everest SUV concept

Tue, 13 Aug 2013

Ford has been in hot water in Australia ever since it announced plans to end local production of the Falcon and Territory SUV. Besides canceling a model that is to Oz what the Mustang is to America, the end of production means more than a few folks will be out of work.
Keen to prove that it has a plan for the market, Ford has unveiled the Aussie-penned Everest Concept, a rough-and-tumble, seven-seat SUV. While not a direct replacement for the aging Territory (that role will eventually be filled by either the Edge or Flex, according to Car Advice) it's an indication from Ford's brass that the Blue Oval is still committed to Australia.
To prove that fact, Alan Mullaly, Mark Fields, Jim Farley and regional execs descended on Sydney for the debut of the new concept. Ford's Australian president and CEO, Bob Graziano, said of the Everest, "Our customers, our employees and Australia can be assured that we're connected to the nation and committed to our customers through terrific products with class-leading technologies."
